Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, stated on Friday that the Vasil hardfork would be coming soon and suggested that it might occur “sometime in September”.

Vasil Hard fork Due “Sometime in September”, Input-Output Global’s Charles Hoskinson says
The proof-of stake (PoS), blockchain Cardano(ADA) plans to implement a hardfork around the same time as The Merge.

The Merge of Ethereum is approximately 16 days away. This change will transform Ethereum’s proof of-work (PoW), consensus mechanism into a PoS Blockchain. Hoskinson spoke to the public during a Twitter stream on Friday. He said that although “extensive” testing is still underway, the Vasil hardfork could be held in mid-September. Similar to The Merge’s hard fork, Cardano’s was delayed at June’s end.

The Vasil hard fork is intended to include four Cardano Improvement Plans (CIPs). CIP-31 ( Refer Inputs), HTML32 ( Inline Datums), HTML33 ( Reference Skrips) and CIP-40( Collateral Inputs).

Developers revealed a CIP-31 change that will greatly reduce Cardano’s transaction cost a few months back. “Reference scripts lower your transaction costs,” Cardano’s development team at Input-Output Global explained in the first week.

Hoskinson stated that Vasil would take place sometime in September and that it would be difficult to upgrade major exchanges.

Larger crypto exchanges that are eager to upgrade tend to help smaller ones. The blockchain’s native currency, Cardano, has seen a significant decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar in recent months.

In the past 14 days, cardano ( ADA has lost 21.1% in USD and the 24-hour range of ADA’s price has been $0.441044 to $0.45417171 per unit. The crypto asset has fallen 85.7% from its all-time high of September 2, 2021 and is currently at 84.9% against the U.S. Dollar.
