Cardano Dijkstra Upgrade Remains On Track Amid Governance Deadline Looms

Cardano's next major upgrade, Dijkstra, is progressing as planned, with its scope and target dates remaining unchanged. The hard fork follows Van Rossem, which activated Cardano Protocol Version 11 on July 18 after receiving approval through the network's three governance bodies.

The development teams are now focusing on ecosystem readiness, node compatibility, and the potential impact of the upgrade on stake pool operators and other network participants. Intersect has launched a Dijkstra readiness tracker to monitor these aspects.

Cardano is approaching a September 1 governance deadline that could affect the functioning of its Constitutional Committee as the network prepares for the upcoming Dijkstra hard fork.
