Cardano launches scalability testnet Musashi Dojo

The public testnet for Cardano's scalability protocol Leios, named Musashi Dojo, has launched, BeInCrypto reported. The testnet aims to increase network processing speeds from 4.5 KB/s to a maximum of 200 KB/s—an increase of roughly 30 to 65 times—by generating Endorser Blocks in parallel on top of the existing Ouroboros Praos consensus algorithm. The testnet will proceed in five stages named after the elements in 16th-century samurai Miyamoto Musashi's 'The Book of Five Rings': Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. Developer Input Output is targeting a mainnet hard fork for the upgrade as early as this November.
