The Vasil upgrade was triggered on the mainnet on Sept. 22, while full capabilities were deployed on Sept. 27.
The positive effects of the upgrade are already being felt in the form of a reduction in transaction sizes and fees. The impact, however, remains yet unseen on Cardano’s Defi TVL, which refers to the overall value of crypto assets placed in its decentralized finance (DeFi) system — or DeFi protocols, which have remained flat since the Vasil upgrade.
