IOHK Team has released a statement that the Byron upgrade is now complete. As per a press release, the upgrade will allow a seamless changeover to the Shelley mainnet. The upgrade will now make Cardano (ADA) be fully decentralized.

The new Byron upgrade or reboot that is set to be rolled on Mar. 31, 2020. This is the most significant software upgrade on Cardano since it was launched back in 2017.

IOHK Team explained that the new release means the entire design of all elements within the Cardano (ADA) blockchain. The upgrade will enhance various elements such as the Cardano’s node performance, the wallet backend, the Cardano wallet as well as Daedalus wallet itself.

The team stated that one of the most significant aspects that come with the Byron reboot is the reorganization of all the logics of the interaction among the blockchain components. The fresh release will make the codebase modular, which will separate the ledger, components of the network node as well as consensus. As a result, this will allow “any one of them to be changed, tweaked, and upgraded without affecting the others.”

The new release means that Cardano (ADA) network is increasingly moving just inches to the launching of the Shelley mainnet. The upgraded Byron network, the system will now have the capacity to support every Shelley feature in addition to various future developments.

The fresh node update is set to be launched to more cores as well as relay nodes on top of the Cardano mainnet for the coming few weeks. This will be followed by more reboot improvements as well as a Daedalus beta in the future.

IOHK CEO, Charles Hoskinson, explained that the release of an upgraded Byron will enhance the overall performance of the Cardano network. He also explained that the upgrade will also improve the transaction throughput capacity. The network is also going to handle an increased demand as well as more transactions every second.

Hoskinson also expounded that the new codebase will allow the Cardano system to be operated using less costly computational equipment that has a weak internet connection. Hoskinson also said,

“I am extremely proud of the IOHK developer team's endeavours to rewrite the Byron era node from the ground up. Their work represents a significant investment in the network-critical infrastructure required to support the Shelley era of Cardano as we move forward on our mission to build a global-scale financial and social operating system.”
