Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), the Cardano development team explained “The Vasil upgrade will bring significant performance & capability enhancements to Cardano, from higher throughput capability via diffusion pipelining to a better developer experience with much-improved script performance, efficiency & lower costs.”
The efficiencies that all of the dapps in this ecosystem will benefit from post vasil are significant. As we see input endorsers and more get deployed, we will have one of the most scalable and performant layer 1s in the industry. 💪
