Cardano ($ ADA) developer Input Output has proposed an increase in network block size of 10 percent from 80 KB to 88 KB per block, as network load has remained above 80 percent in an effort to “increase performance and DApp performance.”
According to tweets published by Input Output, the change has already taken effect and represents a “significant network improvement” that will help increase the speed of transactions and the performance of distributed applications built on top of the cryptocurrency network.
Per IO, it’s the “latest planned network optimization” the developer is doing to continue scaling Cardano year-round.
The developer is now set to monitor network performance for one period – five days – to determine the “next addition”. Cardano, IO wrote, has seen “phenomenal growth in recent months and performance improvements, respectively.”
As CryptoGlobe reports, Cardano now has more than 900 projects based on it and has undergone several development projects in recent months, including the launch of the ERC-20 converter.

Cardano’s upcoming Vail fork offers a “great performance improvement,” according to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.
