Cardano (ADA) developers have released an update that they say will help scale and improve the project network’s user experience.

“This 10% increase increases efficiency and DApp [merkezi olmayan uygulama] represents a significant network enhancement that will help continue to improve performance. It is the latest in a series of planned network optimizations we are making to continue scaling Cardano throughout 2022.”
According to the statement, the update will not only increase the throughput of the network, but also improve the performance of DApps built on the blockchain.
IOHK developers plan to monitor the performance of the network for at least five days from the point the update is deployed to “determine the next spike.”
