Cardano ADA Price Surges as Dijkstra Development Era Nears

Cardano's ADA price surged nearly 10% in 24 hours to around $0.189, as the network shifted focus towards the Dijkstra development era following the van Rossem upgrade.

The next major development phase for Cardano will bring key features such as Nested Transactions, Linear Leios, and Peras as part of the broader Ouroboros Leios research program. The goal is to increase transaction capacity without compromising decentralization or security.

The Haskell node team aims to deliver Nested Transactions and Linear Leios to mainnet by late 2026, with governance work running alongside the roadmap. Intersect defines a process that allows stakeholders to shape the scope of hard forks beyond the initial Dijkstra release.
