Via an official post<\/a>, Cardano developer Input Output Global (IOG) confirmed the approval and implementation of a proposal to increase the network\u2019s block size. Currently standing at 80 kilobytes (KB), the mainnet will see a 10% increase to 88 KB.<\/p>\n

Set to roll out today April 25 at 20:20 UTC, at the boundary of epoch 335, as confirmed by the company. IOG called this proposal a \u201csignificant network enhancement\u201d set to increase Cardano\u2019s throughput and the performance of its decentralized applications (dApp).<\/p>\n

As the company reiterated, Cardano has been experiencing a series of network upgrades that will allow it to improve its scaling capabilities in 2022. As the block size increase, IOG added, they will keep a close eye on it for future changes:<\/p>\n

Once deployed, we shall monitor network performance and behaviour closely over at least one epoch (5 days) to determine the next increment. Cardano has seen phenomenal growth in recent months, with performance improvements to match.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, the company claims that Cardano has been experiencing a \u201chuge recent rise in transaction volume\u201d. In that sense, with the addition of more improvements, they expect this trend to continue.<\/p>\n
IOG is focused on optimizing Cardano as it prepares for its next Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) event set for around June this year. IOG added:<\/p>\n
Cardano<\/span> is one of the most decentralized blockchains in the world, built for correctness and security. As the ecosystem grows, we\u2019re focused on delivering the scaling phase of our roadmap; improving speed and network capacity while maintaining security and decentralization. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As NewsBTC reported, the network seems to be experiencing an increase in institutional demand, per data from IntoTheBlock.<\/p>\n
On-chain transaction volume for ADA appears to be in an uptrend since the start of February. This data seems to match with IOG\u2019s statements about Cardano\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

The volume of on-chain transactions >$100k has increased by 50x just in 2022<\/p>\n
Yesterday, a total of 69.09b $ADA<\/a> were moved in these large transactions, representing 99% of the total on-chain volume https:\/\/t.co\/8ME8STvRSF<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/aqH7hYIPiV<\/a><\/p>\n
