Cardano's Dijkstra upgrade remains on track, with Phase 1 aiming for mainnet deployment by the end of 2026. This phase includes major features like Linear Leios and Nested Transactions to improve scalability and transaction handling. The second phase, activating Ouroboros Peras, is planned for Q2 2027 and will introduce faster settlement through stake pool operator voting. Development of the Amaru node implementation is progressing, targeting block production by November 2026 to diversify node clients. Governance changes to support Dijkstra parameters are set for submission by September 2026, with community discussions underway. While the timeline is ambitious, testing and governance processes may extend the final activation dates.
