The latest news we had about Cardano's Vasil update showed a further delay in its launch due to the tests and improvements that the development team was implementing. Following this delay, the CEO of IOG/IOHK and also the main developer of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, has assured that Vasil will no longer be delayed again, because the process is advancing at a systematic and constant pace.
The developer explained that no more delays are expected for the Vasil update because they have managed to overcome the possible most complex problems that have arisen on the network when implementing the different tests to verify its operation. This expert noted that the Cardano hard fork had initially been planned for 1.35.0 and that many tests were having to be carried out internally, but also from the community. Three different errors were found that have resulted in three new versions of this software, so currently the existing version is 1.35.3, which is probably the one that will be applied in the new update for the arrival of Vasil to Cardano .
Furthermore, Hoskinson explained with complete sincerity that several of these problems surprised the team because they appeared in a phase after the production area, which led to delays that were not foreseen because it was necessary to implement alternative options to overcome these difficulties.
Hoskinson affirms that they are not looking for speed but for good results
After considering this new update to the Cardano network for May of this year, Vasil first had to delay so that the developers could carry out more performance and compatibility tests.
Vasil was then delayed until June 29 if everything went as planned, but the update could not be implemented at that time either, so the development team had to delay the update until the final week of July.

At that time Kevin Hammon, technical manager of IOG, explained that different problems and critical errors appeared that it was essential to solve because they could compromise the operation of the network, so another delay was once again proposed to be able to fix these problems.

While there is currently no clear release date for the Vasil update, Hoskinson explains that there will be no further delays and that they will soon announce a new date for deploying it to the mainnet.
This update for the Cardano network is a great step for this project to evolve, because it translates into improvements in transaction speed, as well as a decrease in commission margins for transactions. This is interesting for smart contracts and dapps that operate on the Cardano network, especially taking into account how well it is being received among developers and entities that are interested in launching projects on this network.
Although for many analysts the delay in the launch of these updates is something negative because they consider that there is a "race" between the different blockchain projects, Hoskinson has explained that Cardano's intention is not to be the first, but rather they are focused on creating a network that has properties that make it a stable and durable alternative in the long term, thereby focusing on the responsible construction of your project, and not on speed.
