Cardano is making ready for an intra-era exhausting fork to Protocol Model 11, which boosts Plutus efficiency, ledger consistency and node safety.
Named Van Rossem exhausting fork, the improve avoids an period transition to reduce integration burdens whereas introducing enhanced primitives, VRF key uniqueness and up to date reference enter guidelines.
This replace is projected to happen in late June 2026, with regular progress made in preparation and ecosystem readiness.
Final week we introduced Cardano on @Dune.

10.7.0 launch faces setback
The benchmarking of the ten.7.0 pre-release recognized a big reminiscence regression, with round 6 GB of further RAM utilization showing over a 15-day interval. Benchmarking ensures that new node variations are secure, performant and able to assist the community underneath reasonable situations earlier than they transfer nearer to mainnet readiness.
The reason for difficulty is believed to have been recognized by Cardano’s efficiency and testing groups, and a neighborhood repair has already been applied. Integration benchmarking with the efficiency crew is deliberate over the subsequent few days to substantiate whether or not the difficulty is resolved with out requiring any downstream API modifications.
Consequently, the ten.7.0 model is not going to be promoted to a mainnet-ready launch however as an alternative, the fixes are anticipated to be included in a ten.7.1 launch, alongside a repair for a separate consensus difficulty that has been inflicting occasional failures.
Whereas it’s a significant difficulty, the positivity is that it was recognized early. Intersect indicated that the projected late June 2026 enactment date stays unchanged. If the ten.7.1 launch can sail by with out API modifications, there may be nonetheless sufficient flexibility within the timeline to soak up the delay.
Cardano expands analytics dashboards
At April’s begin, Intersect introduced that Cardano’s on-chain information is now obtainable on blockchain analytics platform Dune. Outstanding progress has been reported because the preliminary information of the combination emerged.
Intersect famous that since launch, neighborhood members have been constructing devoted Cardano dashboards. In the meantime, the Pentad crew has been busy enhancing the Cardano Ecosystem Overview Dashboard, and an preliminary Cardano Governance Well being Dashboard was additionally created.
