IOG verified the implementation of a proposal to increase Cardano’s block size in a tweet earlier this week. The network’s mainnet block size increased by 10% to 88 kilobytes from 80 kilobytes previously.
The maximum data capacity that a single block on the blockchain may record is referred to as block size. More transactions can be incorporated in new blocks with larger sizes.
Expanding Cardano‘s block size to 88 kilobytes, according to Input-Output, is a significant network development aimed at increasing throughput and scalability. DApp performance is also expected to improve, according to the company.
IOG stated that it would actively evaluate the Cardano network’s performance over the following five days (at least one epoch) to determine how much further the block size would be increased. The last time the block size was increased was in early February, when it was increased by 11% from 72KB.
With the significant increase in ADA’s transaction volume in recent months, the developers want to improve the network steadily and prudently.
The Cardano development team is primarily focused on network optimization as part of the Basho scaling stage’s Hard Fork Combinator event.
Cardano has been gradually introducing a series of new features since the release of the Alonzo upgrade in September 2021, based on substantial scientific research and peer review. Cardano has moved closer to Ethereum and other smart contract networks that have dominated the cryptosphere in recent years as a result of this.
Despite the strong fundamentals, the ADA price has been reluctant to increase. For months, the coin has been drifting sideways, influenced by macro factors such as the Russia-Ukraine crisis and tighter monetary policies in the West.
It remains to be seen if the substantial network upgrades would be enough to spark a meaningful change in trade sentiment, ending the months-long downturn.
