During the webcast, Hoskinson had this to say about the the launch of the next major version of Cardano:
“I’m really proud of everybody. It’s been a long time coming and it’s been a difficult year, because we’ve had to change the tires while the car is running… What we’re creating is basically the world’s next operating system.”
As you can see from the roadmap shown above, the target data for the Shelly network upgrade (hard fork) is July 29.
