Cardano Founder Suggests Leios and Hydra After Solana Hiccups
The post Cardano Founder Suggests Leios and Hydra After Solana Hiccups appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson proposes the Cardano network as a replacement for Solana and claims the existence of Leios and Hydra could improve scalability without disruption. His statement came after Coinbase CEO hinted that the existing infrastructure is failing to meet the skyrocketing demand. The recent launch of the Official Trump coin (TRUMP) and Melania meme coin on Solana exposed the network to hitches, triggering criticisms and concerns among crypto users. As reported by CNF, TRUMP alone recorded a whopping $52 billion in trading volume while Melania had $3.77 billion in volume at press time. Commenting on this, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson has highlighted that the Cardano blockchain can handle volumes better than Solana. According to him, an unprecedented level of surges could be handled without disruption, thanks to its Leios and Hydra. This is why Leios and Hydra were developed. Surges like these can be handled naturally and without disruption or added cost. Leios is one of the proposed upgrades that is expected to significantly boost the throughput of the Cardano network. According to Hoskinson, a full deployment would improve the transaction speed, eclipsing the Solana network without compromising its decentralization. Analyzing an earlier blog post, CNF discovered that the Ouroboros Leios protocol achieves its purpose by separating transaction validation from the creation of new blocks. This makes it easier for “input endorsers” to be introduced. Hydra, which is expected to support Cardano to eclipse Solana, is also reported to be a scaling protocol that could be integrated by Decentralized Applications (DApps) and layer 2 chains. Currently, Hydra is being used in the Doom gaming test launched in December 2024 to test its capacity. As earlier reported by CNF, Hydra has reached 1 million transactions per second (TPS). Meanwhile, Hoskinson has hinted that this protocol would soon be integrated into…
