Cardano Prepares a Major Upgrade to Improve Its Performance
Charles Hoskinson believes Cardano will be complete after the deployment of Leios. For the network’s founder, this upgrade must provide the processing capacity the blockchain still lacks. But between technical ambitions and real-world conditions, several steps remain.
Charles Hoskinson says Cardano will be complete after Leios, when decentralized consensus, open governance, eUTXO, Plutus, and scalability come together.
Leios aims to deliver processing capacity two to thirty times greater than it does today. In September, a test showed throughput of about 1,000 transactions per second.
The Musashi Dojo public testnet launched in June and continues to run tests. Its arrival on mainnet is expected this year.
Leios, the final stage according to Hoskinson
It all started with a question on X: Is Cardano finally finished? Charles Hoskinson responds without hesitation: “After Leios, yes.” In other words, he believes this upgrade will bring together the network’s key desired features.
In his response, he specifically mentions decentralized consensus, open governance, the eUTXO accounting model, the Plutus language, scalability, formal methods, multiple independent node implementations, and millions of ADA holders. To him, Leios represents much more than a simple technical upgrade.
The founder also recently mentioned a concept related to Midnight, the privacy-focused blockchain within the ecosystem. In his post on X, he describes this idea as the main project of his career, without revealing details.
Leios promises a much faster network
Specifically, Leios is intended to improve Cardano’s throughput without compromising its decentralization. The current protocol, Ouroboros Praos, prioritizes security.
