Charles Hoskinson called the issues regarding Cardano testnet Vasil hard forks are “incredibly pervasive and disruptive”

Issues surrounding Cardano testnet Vasil hard fork are “incredibly pervasive and disruptive” and controversial, according to founder Charles Hoskinson who’s looking to put the controversy to an end.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson continues to refute claims that Cardano’s testnet is ‘catastrophically broken’, requiring the long-delayed Vasil hard fork to finally move forward

In a Twitter feed on Sunday, Hoskinson claimed there were “catastrophic” problems with the Cardano testnet, related to Friday’s thread from Cardano ecosystem developer Adam Dean.

The developer claimed that the testnet is “catastrophically broken” due to an undiscovered bug in Cardano’s Node v 1.35.2 that creates incompatible forks — which had managed to slip under the radar of the previous testing.

Following the bug, Cardano released the new Cardano node client software v1.35.3 on two different testnets.

However, Dean noted that because the majority of operators upgraded to v1.35.2 to simulate the Vasil hard fork, v1.35.3 is also “incompatible and incapable of syncing” with the original testnet, and the two testnets are “without a block history.”

However, Hoskinson claimed that the coding problem found in this version of this version was deleted in the 1.35.3 update, sharing his frustration that further testing would lead to further delays of the hard fork:

“We of course could as a community delay the launch of Vasil for a few months to retest code that’s already been tested a dozen times and is already running. Is that worth it to all the DApp developers who have been waiting for this update for almost a year now?”

On Sunday, Hoskinson noted that “the realities of something this large and complex is that one can be easily trapped by the things that aren’t working well and forget the things that are.”

He added that One result of Vasil’s hard fork will be a new governance process and a more inclusive structure that will lead to

The Vasil hard fork has been delayed several times already this year, most recently in late July, due to issues identified on the testnet. However, Hoskinson told the AMA that he is optimistic that the Vasil hard fork will be released “soon.”
