Hydra upgrade is ready to go live
The ADA community is waiting for the Hydra update, a layer-2 scaling solution, as it is expected to improve many parts of the network. Surprisingly, the update will enable transaction and smart contract parallel processing, comparable to Ethereum’s sharding or parallel blockchains. Cardano’s development team has done significant work on Hydra and the update is expected to be released later this year.
The team released an end-to-end node integration for Hydra’s second release in January 2022. The ADA team has made approximately 3,057 new changes to GitHub during its development, which is a big step towards the Hydra launch. After the release of Hydra, it is expected to positively affect the ADA price. It is worth noting that after the official launch of Hydra, the ADA price is expected to skyrocket, giving investors another reason to cheer.
