This February release is part of a broader plan of core Cardano optimizations and enhancements being delivered in 2022. These include key elements of our scaling plan like pipelining, significant performance improvements to Plutus, Hydra and input endorsers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Additionally, the company confirmed the deployment of complementary products and architecture, such as light wallets and UTXO on-disk storage, a dApp store, and a certification program. IOHK also claimed they will release new APIs and development tools, sidechains, and a fast synchronization solution.<\/p>\n
In order to meet their optimization and scalability goals, Cardano will see parameter adjustments across the year. The company claims these changes will be implemented \u201csteadily\u201d to guarantee the safety of the users. IOHK added:<\/p>\n
While you can still expect high network loads at times \u2013 e.g. around highly-anticipated launches & NFT + token drops \u2013 through methodical adjustments you’ll steadily see headroom expand as the ecosystem grows. All the while maintaining the robustness & security of the network<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Improvements Released On Cardano<\/h2>\n
Harrison clarified some of the previously mentioned improvements, such as the ability to create transactions with CDDL which will make developers less dependable on third-party tools. Also, ADA users will be able to leverage incremental multi-signature transactions.<\/p>\n
In addition, IOHK has implemented improvements on the network Command Line Interface (CLI). Thus, stake pool operators (SPOs), developers, and users can benefit from more predictable transactions, mempool inspection tools, and leadership schedule tools.<\/p>\n
Harrison added the following on the recently introduced and the upcoming updates with two Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) events expected for June and October 2022:<\/p>\n
In combination with parameter adjustments, these features will enhance Cardano’s throughput and optimize the system to accommodate an increasing range of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps, smart contracts, and DEXs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The opposite view from other users places more value on a slow, but steady development that will bring benefits for the long run.<\/p>\n
