What Is Going On With The Vasil Hard Fork And Cardano’s Testnet?

Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, has continued to deny assertions that the Cardano testnet is “catastrophically damaged,” suggesting the necessity to finally implement the Vasil hard fork that has been postponed for so long.

Hoskinson expressed his dissatisfaction with some of the films asserting Cardano’s testnet has a “catastrophic” problem in a discussion on Twitter on Sunday. The videos were a result of a Friday thread from Cardano ecosystem engineer Adam Dean.

The developer stated that a previously unknown problem in Cardano’s Node v 1.35.2 that generates incompatible forksβ€”which managed to slip under the radar of the earlier testingβ€”is to blame for the testnet being “catastrophically broken.”

Cardano released Cardano Node v1.35.3 on two different testnets

Dean pointed out that v1.35.3 is likewise “incompatible and incapable of synchronizing” with the original testnet and that the two testnets are “without a block history” because the bulk of operators switched to v1.35.2 to mimic the Vasil hard fork.

However, Hoskinson has stated that the coding flaw discovered in that node version had been fixed in the 1.35.3 upgrade, expressing his irritation that additional testing would cause the hard fork to be delayed further:

β€œWe of course could as a community delay the launch of Vasil for a few months to retest code that’s already been tested a dozen times and is already running. Is that worth it to all the DApp developers who have been waiting for this update for almost a year now?”

During an Ask-Me-Anything on Friday, Hoskinson also said that there’s been an β€œunfair narrative” floating around Cardano and its testnet issues, which he called β€œincredibly corrosive and damaging.”

β€œYou can’t conflate a failed testnet with the mainnet because testnets are constructed and destroyed all the time in this industry. That’s their point. […] They are in no way, in any way harm Cardano itself.”

The reality of something this big and intricate is that one can easily get caught up in the things that aren’t working well and overlook the ones that are, Hoskinson said on Sunday.

He continued by saying that the Vasil hard fork will produce “better useful code” and “faster developments” as well as a new governance method and more inclusive institutions.

β€œMoments that give us a chance to change and grow. Let’s get Vasil done together and then let’s move on to higher ground and fix some of the original sins of the project so Cardano can also grow to its next level.”

The most recent delay of the Vasil hard fork this year occurred at the end of July as a result of problems found on the testnet. Hoskinson expressed optimism that the Vasil hard fork will ship “imminently” during the AMA, nevertheless.

β€œThe features are there, they’ve worked, they’ve been tested thoroughly, and there’s a high degree of confidence in them. There’s no reason for it not to get over the finish line imminently.”

Cardano’sΒ ADAΒ is priced at $0.45 on Monday, having dropped 18.5% over the last week.
