Moreover, Cardano may even examine growing block dimension, Mempool dimension, and script compression amongst different alternate options for that optimization.
“We additionally plan to maneuver the ledger state to disk storage to ease the on-chain load…”
With that, Cardano’s “Hydra is ready to convey extra functionality within the mid-term.” In that context, Hoskinson had lately acknowledged,
“It’ll be capable of offload a considerable amount of the transaction site visitors that’s going to return from the entire apps which might be coming (quickly). As PAB comes on-line, Cardano goes to get hammered by an infinite quantity of site visitors. Hydra is a necessity for that…”
In the long run, there are prone to be extra updates across the Ouroboros protocol.
