As Cryptoknowmics reported earlier, the much-anticipated hard fork went live on September 22 after several months of delays. The Vasil hard fork would expand the Cardano blockchain's capabilities by increasing decentralization, improving the handling of on-chain scripts, lowering script execution costs and transaction size, and improving throughput. Vasil also improved Plutus, allowing developers to create more powerful dApps. The price of the native ADA token has now fallen by more than 9% since the hard fork, which turned out to be a sell-the-news event.
"We are delighted to support the Cardano hard fork, Vasil," said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex. "As an exchange, we always seek to provide our growing customer base with an optimal choice of digital tokens to trade and a first-class trading experience."
