One of the biggest and most ambitious projects in the crypto space is Cardano. The project has seen the community involvement significantly increase over this year alone but despite this, there are many controversies surrounding the project that Cardano hasn’t been able to ignore. The CEO and co-founder of IOHK, Charles Hoskinson recently highlighted in its weekly development report that there is still a lot of scepticism surrounding the project.

Taking to Twitter on the 9th of May, Hoskinson posted a video of him explaining the launch of the highly anticipated Shelley mainnet migration for the protocol. In the video he said:

“There is still an impending skepticism, I have noticed of many people about the shipping of Shelley mainnet in 2020. We have a Shelley node that is currently running at IOHK. We are adding a CLI to it for the next week’s Friend’s and Family testnet, so it’s there it exists.”

In regards to the delays and postponement of the upcoming mainnet, Hoskinson said:

“It is now a situation of just getting the plumbing right, distributing it, getting people to install it, use it. It’s imminent. It’s publicly there in the Github repository and it’s not like we have secret code that we are hiding or something. We are literally writing to an open repository that you all can see and it’s very clear that the Shelley node is almost ready to go.”

For technology, the team at Cardano revealed that it was running its first successful test of the network update last week. And the first phase of Shelley will be made publicly accessible to a certain amount of individuals and its testnet this week.
