What is Vasil Hard Fork?
Cardano is notorious for its extremely careful scientific approach. The five phases of the ecosystem’s growth were named after prime scientists, philosophers and poets throughout history. Even the name of this publick blockchain platform comes from Gerolamo Cardano, an Italian polymath. And the hard fork is named after the Cardano ambassador and Bulgarian mathematician Vasil Daboz, who is no more in this world. The move was taken to honor the individual.
Keeping it precise, Vasil hard fork will escalate the throughput on the blockchain, and make improvements in smart contracts’ development and decentralized applications. Cardano is continuously updating its blocks on the chain containing records of transactions. This update will upscale the block size. This translates into more space to feed the records in a block.
