The much-anticipated “van Rossem” V11 hard fork upgrade on the Cardano blockchain has taken a significant step forward, drawing closer to its deployment on the mainnet. Recent progress shows that the upgrade has been fully implemented on both the preview and pre-production test networks, while readiness among mainnet stake pool operators and exchanges has continued to increase. The process will culminate in an on-chain governance vote, the result of which is keenly awaited by the Cardano community.
