Cardano developers are urging stake pool operators (SPOs) to adopt the latest Node version, 8.1.1., released on Monday. This new release aims to improve the performance and functionality of the Cardano blockchain by optimizing operations and enhancing efficiency.
The upgrade focuses on reducing epoch transitions, which are periods lasting approximately five days on the Cardano blockchain. Version 8.1.1 introduces significant changes to epoch calculations, resulting in accelerated network processes during these transitions. ADA tokens are staked and new blocks are generated on the Cardano network during these epochs.
Significant Changes In Regards To P2P Connections
The Cardano update, version 8.1.1, addresses and resolves known issues related to peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies running on the blockchain. It brings performance enhancements and effectively addresses concerns about P2P connections and the domain name system (DNS).
Rick McCracken, a member of the Cardano community, has highlighted that Node 8.1.1 not only improves epoch transitions but also addresses concerns about P2P connections and DNS.
These updates aim to enhance the functionality and reliability of the Cardano network, making it more attractive for new and existing users.
Developers strongly encourage all stake pool operators (SPOs) to update to the latest version for a simplified and streamlined user experience.
Cardano Network Advances Amidst Ongoing SEC Lawsuit
Despite regulatory challenges from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Cardano developer community remains committed to building and improving the blockchain.
Technical updates play a crucial role in supporting the token’s potential recovery in the short term. Node 8.0.0, the previous version, laid the groundwork for the upcoming Voltaire phase in Cardano’s roadmap.
Cardano’s roadmap consists of five development phases: Byron, Shelley, Goguen, Basho, and Voltaire. The focus is now on implementing and progressing through the Voltaire phase.
