Cardano's development team, Input Output Global (IOG), is discontinuing the Acropolis project and the Tiered Pricing model to concentrate on more advanced upgrades like chain abstraction and the Leios protocol. Acropolis, a Rust-based node aimed at infrastructure diversity, will end in April 2026 despite previous improvements. The Tiered Pricing model was dropped as upcoming transaction processing changes could render it obsolete. This strategic shift aims to enhance network usability and throughput while returning 4.1 million ADA to the treasury for community governance. Questions remain about some unaccounted ADA and project transparency. Leios upgrades are expected to launch within the year, promising better scaling without sacrificing decentralization.
