The new approach will introduce agile engineering teams whose aim is to achieve a faster execution of the platform’s development goals. According to the update, the key milestone for these teams will be the delivery of the Ouroboros Leios protocol, which Cardano is now targeting for 2026. Since the creation of the project, Cardano has always followed a formal method approach, prioritizing safety and academic rigor. While this strategy ensured that the project achieved high standards in code quality and network stability, it came at a cost, seeing slower feature rollouts and limited community involvement. We are at a very exciting inflection point with respect to Cardano’s engineering and the diversity of ideas and teams.
