Cardano Prepares Major Node Changes as Dijkstra Era Takes Shape

Cardano is preparing for its Dijkstra era hard fork, which will be rolled out in two phases, with the first phase expected by the end of 2026 and the second in Q2 2027. This update introduces significant upgrades like Ouroboros Leios and emphasizes node diversity, highlighted by the progress of the Rust-based Amaru node. Additionally, a technical update to Cardano's Constitution is underway to ensure the new capabilities are governable from day one.
