hi everyone this is charles hoskinson broadcasting live from warm sunny colorado always warm always sunny sometimes colorado so today's video is to talk a little bit about uh something that was initiated today and for those of you who are familiar with how cardano works we have something called hard four combinator and we have something called an epic so an epic ranges about five days give or take and epics are the unit of change in the cardano ecosystem the hard fork combinator is the mechanism of change in the cardano ecosystem so today um a proposal was initiated and signed by cf mergo and io to initiate the hard fork combinator and submitted and successfully accepted which means a process has begun which will be adopted thanks to 1353 now being installed on all the stake pool operators to upgrade cardano to the fossil era uh this process is automated no future work is required so we're all going to sit back and watch the vossel rocket take off it's in the air right now and it will reach orbit on the 22nd uh so everything will just roll over and the vassal era has begun so there's no going back now it's been initiated 1353 will soon become the canonical cardano a new version of it now some of the fossils stuff will take effect immediately and the remainder of the fossil stuff will take effect the following epoch on the 27th for a variety of technical reasons and that's just a natural rollout so of all of you uh please do upgrade delays 5 if you haven't already done so it contains a lot of improvements sync times are a lot better and uh all the stake pool operators have already upgraded 135.3 the exchanges are all underway and looking pretty green and some minor things here and there to clean up graphql and rosetta performance and working hand in glove with everybody but in five days time we will be in the vassal era now a lot of dapp developers have already upgraded their code to pluto's v2 um some are already uh running on test net uh pre-production uh this type of stuff and it's gonna be really exciting to see the huge improvements that version two brings to everyone it's been a long road we're all a little tired uh and this was the hardest one to get out but boy did we do it and uh it was a very satisfying day i came to the office here it's about nine o'clock at night it's saturday uh and we're uh we're all just waiting with baited breath to see this one roll through we don't anticipate there will be any issues but there's no going back now no amount of testing or anything can save us because rocket's in the air either explodes in air or reaches orbit and obviously it's going to reach orbit so i'd like to thank everybody who made this day happen and of course we'll do a little thing on the 22nd when it all turns on and it's just another one of the many upgrades we've done together as a community this one's particularly special because it's named after my good friend vasil dovaf who unfortunately passed away recently and he was just a thoroughly good human being and i hope that we can honor his legacy by while in this era planting a lot of seeds and growing a lot of trees and i'd like to thank his family for how kind they were and i'm glad we were able to immortalize his legacy forever in the cardano ecosystem we take care of our own we always have and we always will and i'm very glad that he was able to teach so many in our ecosystem so much and he was a great mentor to many myself included and i'm glad that we are soon going to be in the vossel era now there's a lot more to look forward to that's on the horizon uh in particular we're going to have obviously the summit coming up in november the members-based organization is under construction foundations flying in this week um this upcoming week talk about that very thing amongst many other things a lot of sips are being written right now um and actually internally we're doing a big review of sib 48 that dc spark uh proposed and hopefully we can find a way to to get that through the process and it's uh it's a pretty good idea it looks like we're also um writing all the sips at the moment to reflect the protocol design of input endorsers which is a truly remarkable impressive thing mithril is also coming along quite nicely and i'd like to thank everybody who's been testing mithril you've done some great work there and there's a lot more to do but a lot of things like parallel epic validation that's going to come to lace desktop which is the full node version of lace alongside all the native peer-to-peer stuff so it's pretty exciting to finally see that take off i've been kind of pushing for some other features like uh partial delegation for example and it would be very nice to see conclave come as well at some point so we are definitely going to start digging into how to get that done because i think that's going to dramatically improve the level of decentralization of cardano we're already best in class but that's not a reason not to do better especially with small stick pool operators and getting them into portfolios so you go from an atomic choice to a partial choice is probably the way to get some more distribution of ada throughout the network uh so a lot of come lace will be launched next month at rare blooms event and that's going to be uh cool to come to if you guys are in the denver area do come to the opryland hotel and join us there it'll be a lot of fun and if you can't make it maybe come to scotland or one of the satellite events or the uh main event in switzerland for the cardano summit in november so both of those are going to be pretty fun to do and a lot to say a lot of announcements a lot of cool stuff we've all been working on and just also a celebration of the community this has been a very hard year for everybody didn't work out the way any of us in the space intended there was a 600 billion dollar wealth destruction as a result of the collapse of luna 600 billion not million uh that fled through the market and uh all kinds of craziness that we've all had to deal with and it's been very fatiguing and very hard to keep up with the phonetic pace of things the good news is that we're still here and by every appreciable metric cardano is one of the strongest cryptocurrencies in the space and we continue to upgrade and we continue to have great vision in that respect our dap community continues to build as well after vossle we should see a lot of stuff launched and that's pretty exciting so the next three to six months are going to look really really good and we should exit the year very strong entering into 2023 with lots to look forward to and a lot more for the community that sink their teeth in and do but that's all tomorrow uh let's focus on today which is watching the rocket get into orbit so congratulations the update proposal has been initiated the hard fork will occur on the 22nd and uh most of the features will be turned on on the 22nd some on the 27th depending upon which ones you're referencing but in any event cardano is upgrading so congratulations everybody and thank you again to all those who helped test that there's way too many to name and we'll have as i mentioned a nice methodology now to talk about for how we're going to improve qa and all these other things and the learning experiences that we've gone through we had a big summit in portugal in early part of this month brought all the software architects together and they're drafting a methodology that we're going to standardize the whole organization around uh after we write it internally and we go through a few iterations we're going to bring some outside collaborators and then we're going to create an open standard around that so you guys can see a little bit more on how we write software we're pretty proud and happy what we've accomplished but it's always good to share that with everybody and we hope that those standards can become the way that the dap developers in the cardano ecosystem also write software so there's a lot of collective learning that can be done okay let me go get some sleep good night everyone
