Breaking: Cardano’s Core Tech Teams Release Node v.8.9.2 with Peer-Sharing Fix

• Cardano, one of the leading blockchain platforms, has recently released node version 8.9.2, addressing a critical issue related to peer-sharing networking.

• The latest version v.8.9.2, resolves a substantial problem affecting the p2p (peer-sharing) networking feature. 

Cardano, one of the leading blockchain platforms, has recently released node version 8.9.2, addressing a critical issue related to peer-sharing networking. This upgrade is part of the core technology development process that aims to achieve elite software performance and keep the ecosystem in balance.

The latest version v.8.9.2, resolves a substantial problem affecting the p2p (peer-sharing) networking feature which previously did not allow participants to distribute peers to the connected nodes properly. Such a fix is an important feature to maintain the smoothness of Cardano network interaction between the nodes, strengthening and reinforcing the seamless connectivity across the ecosystem.

Continuous Improvement Efforts

Also, Cardano’s core technology teams have not only been working on the peer-sharing issue but also taking part in numerous initiatives that are geared towards improving the platform’s overall backbone. The focus of the SRE team has revolved around improving on the ecosystem’s environment and general maintenance to ensure the stable functioning of the Cardano system.

Significant highlights are moving the Voltaire private chain from v.7 to v.8.10.0, upgrading SanchoneNet for the same version, and putting Cardano node v.8.10.0-pre as operating environment node. These initiatives further demonstrate that Cardano is constantly working toward its vision to continue building a resilient platform that caters to the changing needs of its users.

Improvements in Networking and Consensus Algorithms

The networking team has been continually working on Genesis support, entailing a review of the churn policies, providing governor support and, finally, providing support Cardano. Furthermore, the technical debt associated with churn affecting EKG types of counters has been sorted out, and there has been improved documentation on peer sharing. These initiatives are strengthening the Cardano network against environmental challenges and improving the network’s running.

While this, the consensus team has made a new diffusion pipelining criterion and integrated the last changes into node v8.10, which were a further modification in the consensus mechanism and the whole performance of the platform.

Scaling Efforts and Voltaire Updates

Cardano’s scaling efforts have been greatly significant in that the Hydra team has successfully fixed the smoke test that had lingered on some of the network functions and the subsequent refactoring to enable better traffic distinction. In addition, participation in Cardano-ledger-API and building Mithril network certification of Cardano transactions show that the platform’s goal is to scale and keep running its operations.

The core elements of Cardano’s platform and the network governance structure, Voltaire and Sancho, will also be updated. The process of adding and editing materials for SanchoNet is constantly in progress, while training guides for both node and CLI versions are made available to the community members. Updates that would streamline user experience and in turn, involve community engagement in the decision-making process are the main goals.

That said, Cardano will begin Fund 12 on April 26th, bridging the gap between the 12th Catalyst working group and the start of the community-driven funding cycle.  As of this writing, ADA is currently trading at $0.5078, with a 24-hour trading at 2%.
