Charles Hoskinson explains why there was a delay in Vasil’s hard fork
The Vasil update was supposed to be released at the end of June. However, fears about Terra required further testing. The Cardano team later extended the deadline until the end of July. Charles Hoskinson says he doesn’t expect any more delays unless a new problem arises. He also claimed that the latest upgrade was a bit more difficult than planned. As a result of their being extremely late on the production line, some issues have taken the developers by surprise. The team had to take a different route, which caused additional delays.
The first blockchain-powered apparel brand on Cardano
Cardano has opted for a new apparel brand called Origin Thread to provide blockchain-powered apparel. The idea is to ensure that customers receive high-quality, authentic clothing from manufacturers. According to the information received, the products will be sewn in England and hand-printed in India using a traditional craft process. Origin Thread will only make 60 of the shirts. 35 out of 60 shirts were reserved for ORIGIN token holders. The remaining 25 will be open to the public.
