ADA Price Jumps 10% While Cardano Turns Toward Its Next Big Upgrade Era

Cardano (ADA) price jumped nearly 10% in 24 hours to around $0.189, as the network turned its attention to the Dijkstra era following the van Rossem upgrade.

The rally suggests investors are pricing in the scalability roadmap rather than the upgrade already delivered.

What the Dijkstra Era Will Bring to Cardano

The Dijkstra era refers to Cardano's next major development phase. Intersect, the organization supporting the network's open development and governance, confirmed planning has begun.

The timing follows a completed milestone. The van Rossem hard fork, enacted on July 18, upgraded the protocol to Version 11, improving Plutus performance, ledger consistency, and node security.

Dijkstra will arrive in phases rather than as a single event. Key features include Nested Transactions, Linear Leios and Peras, all part of the broader Ouroboros Leios research programme.

The goal is throughput without compromise. Those upgrades aim to increase transaction capacity and support more complex applications while preserving decentralization and security.
