Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson says the Vasil Hard Fork is set for September

The Ethereum Merge may be right around the corner—but so is Cardano’s Vasil hard fork. Cardano is a peer-reviewed proof-of-stake blockchain which supports smart contracts and NFTs, and aims to solve global challenges surrounding identity management. Its token ADA is the No. 8 cryptocurrency by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap data. In a livestream on Friday, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shared a brief update on the Vasil hard fork, named after a Cardano evangelist and mathematician, Vasil Dabov, who recently died.
