Community congestion
Within the context of current congestions skilled as a consequence of massive NFT drops, it’s trying to construct “extra environment friendly visitors methods” for the close to time period.

What’s subsequent?
With a give attention to boosting community efficiency, Harrison additionally pronounced a probable ready time between transaction submission and transaction adoption. Moreover, Cardano will even examine growing block dimension, Mempool dimension, and script compression amongst different 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 about to convey further functionality within the mid-term.” In that context, Hoskinson had not too long ago acknowledged,
“It’ll have the ability to offload a considerable amount of the transaction visitors that’s going to come back from the entire apps which can be coming (quickly). As PAB comes on-line, Cardano goes to get hammered by an unlimited quantity of visitors. Hydra is a necessity for that…”
In the long run, there are more likely to be extra updates across the Ouroboros protocol.
