Since it dropped the smart-contract upgrade, Cardano has become the most active project regarding developments in 2022. Currently, it is working on multiple solutions and updates.
Recently, the project upgraded its stake pool operators. This update on the Cardano node 1.35 prepares the most recent node version for the most awaited mainnet Vasil hardfork launch. Building the new node network will drive the soft and stable impact on updates of the Vasil release.
Although the crypto project is rolling out a number of developments at the time to prepare for the Vasil hardfork, it still features small solutions such as UTxO blockchain explorer. This solution has won the praise of Charles Honksin, the founder of the Cardano and Wingriders crypto project.
