We can expect significant network traffic around the launch of new #DApps, especially in the early days. And especially around the most hotly anticipated new #DeFi launches, with many coming soon.

In these (still very) early days, demand will very likely exceed capacity at peak times. To support ongoing growth & ensure #Cardano maintains its resilience & robustness, we’ll be making a series of node and #Plutus improvements and steady adjustments to network parameters. 2/7

Today, we have released a new #Cardano node version (v 1.33.0).

The network is designed to run at peak capacity and extensive benchmarking suggests significant performance improvements which will help smooth out network peaks, giving us further scope for parameter changes. 3/7

This is just the first in a program of steps to steadily tune the network & increase network capacity, safely. While this steady approach may mean initial congestion, our goal remains as ever to maintain the robustness & security of the network. Steadily scaling as we grow. 4/7

We have some exciting months ahead. Expect FUD too. yet, from our eUTXO approach to our Ouroboros protocol, #Cardano has been architected to offer a secure, highly decentralized, highly scalable platform (and highly updateable) for a future of finance measured in many decades 5/7

Some impatience is inevitable & expected. But remember. Slow & steady wins the race. Careful, iterative changes will provide ongoing improvements and enhancements to #Cardano's utility while meeting our commitment to decentralization. And avoiding the pitfalls...

We'll continue to bring you regular updates throughout early 2022 as we continue to add capacity and increase secure throughput.
To learn more about how are we steadily adding capacity and scale for the future, please have a read. 7/7
