<p>Since its mainnet debut in May 2023, Hydra has been positioned as a key innovation within the Cardano ecosystem, designed to enhance the network’s scalability. It employs a state channel framework that facilitates the execution of complex transactions and scripts off-chain, aiming to maintain the security and functionality akin to the Cardano mainnet. This development is crucial for improving the network’s throughput, which is a central focus for the team as they work towards increasing the current cap of 1000 transactions per second (TPS).</p>

<p>Hoskinson stated that the <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/cardanos-founder-responds-to-doubts-emphasizes-hydra-and-mithril-advancements/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">news surrounding Hydra</a> that it was abandoned was pure FUD. He also provided clarity on the project’s status and progress. He highlighted ongoing work, including bug fixes, optimizations, and the exploration of supporting multiple versions of the protocol. According to him, these efforts are part of the network’s ongoing strategy to ensure Hydra’s success and reliability as a scaling solution for Cardano.</p> 
<p>Furthermore, the Hydra team has released several updates since its launch, including an upgrade to version 0.12.0, which remains compatible with key components of the Cardano infrastructure. The team is also working on version 0.15.0, and much progress has been made so far, as per Hoskinnson’s post.&nbsp;</p>
