Cardano has reached a key milestone with the submission of the van Rossem hard fork initiation governance action on its mainnet. This intra-era hard fork introduces new features and sets the stage for the upcoming Dijkstra era, which will bring the Leios scalability upgrade to the Cardano network. The van Rossem hard fork has undergone extensive testing on Preview and Preprod test networks, with governance approval expected between late June and mid-July 2026. If ratified, the hard fork could be enacted as early as June 28, marking a significant step forward in Cardano's development roadmap.
