This announcement came after Hoskinson acknowledged that the upgrade has been overdue and will significantly improve the network’s performance.

Cardano Upgrade Focus on Validation Zones

Hoskinson shared insights on X, highlighting that Cardano developers could soon prioritize the upgrade regarding validation zones. This came in response to a post by Cardano developer Andrew Westberg, who emphasized the importance of this upgrade. Westberg referred to the upcoming Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP) as an elegant solution to various challenges faced by the blockchain.

The proposed upgrade aims to enhance the eUXTO model, which could lead to better performance and scalability for the network. Additionally, it will introduce a feature known as ‘Babel Fees,’ which will allow transactions to specify part of a swap request, contributing to more efficient transaction handling.

Insights on Ouroboros Peras Protocol

The potential upgrade announcement coincides with the recent unveiling of the Ouroboros Peras protocol. Ouroboros Peras is an extension of the previously introduced Ouroboros Praos protocol, designed to minimize the likelihood of transaction reversion by addressing settlement horizon issues.

Input Output, the company behind Cardano’s development, explained that this extension strengthens the network's transaction processing capabilities.

Hoskinson praised the release of the Peras protocol, calling it one of the best-prototyped solutions for blockchain networks. He believes that Peras, alongside the forthcoming network upgrades like the Leios proposal, will further scale Cardano, enhancing its competitiveness in the blockchain space.
