Cardano Leios Plan Makes Higher Throughput A Series Of Votes And Tests

Cardano’s Leios scaling plan has a launch sequence that extends well beyond the hard fork. Input Output’s October 20 roadmap describes a gradual increase in capacity, with operator preparation and live-network evidence between the major steps. TL;DR Dijkstra is intended to introduce the rules needed for Leios. Stake pools must register additional voting keys before the system can operate as planned. Higher throughput would follow tests and governance-approved parameter changes. The hard fork creates capability before capacity rises The published roadmap targets an initial three-to-fivefold increase over the present Praos throughput ceiling, followed by changes aiming for ten to fifteen times that baseline. These are staged targets expressed in transaction kilobytes per second, not a guaranteed count of payments and not an activation date. Transaction size matters. A simple payment and a complex application transaction do not consume identical space or execution resources. Multiplying one throughput figure by an average transaction size chosen elsewhere can produce a misleading transactions-per-second headline. The underlying Leios proposal describes additional blocks and certificat...
