After a long wait from fans and investors, developers at the Cardano (ADA) Foundation recently announced that Cardano’s Vasil hard fork will occur on September 22, 2022. This comes just one week after its biggest rival, Ethereum's (ETH-USD) “Merge,” which is set to occur on September 16. The Vasil hard fork upgrade was expected to launch in late June 2022 but was delayed because of Terra’s collapse and the harsh market conditions, meaning that the team over at the Cardano foundation wanted to do all of the necessary tests and exercise caution before rolling out the upgrade.
