Reminiscing about Cardano. Back in the Shelley days, setting up the CCV stake pools was so exciting. We literally grew this ecosystem together. I know it feels rough out there in crypto these days, but it's not over, and it's not over for Cardano. There have been upgrades since the Shelley days, but maybe none as monumental as what is happening right now. Cardano just opened the Musashi Dojo, which is the public testnet for Ouroboros Leios, the largest throughput upgrade since that Shelley era. This IS NOT a layer 2 or a sidechain. It's a change to the consensus layer itself. Leios runs as an overlay on top of Praos rather than replacing it. Think of this like a capacity increase on a highway, Leios adds lanes...it doesn't just raise the speed limit. It adds a second block type that runs alongside the existing Praos blocks. Leios targets 100–1,000+ TPS (potentially 10x–65x improvement), while preserving Praos’s core security and decentralization properties. Same security model that's held strong since Shelley, with a realistic path to a projected 5–20x throughput increase at mainnet. It runs in five phases: Validation, parameter tuning, real load, adversarial stress, and mainnet prep. If you run a pool, this is the phase to get involved! 👉 http://leios.cardano-scaling.org/join #ad(Dan Gambardello)
