IOG states that the Leios prototype has demonstrated clear end-to-end behavior, proving the system’s ability to operate seamlessly from transaction processing to validation and block finalization. According to the plan, Leios will upgrade the performance of Layer-1 on Cardano from approximately 10 transactions per second (TPS) to 500 TPS in the first release, marking a significant step forward in network scalability.
Additionally, a public testnet is expected to be launched by the end of Q2 so the community can test and evaluate real-world performance. IOG aims to integrate and officially release Leios through the Dijkstra hard fork later this year, thereby strengthening the infrastructure foundation and fostering more robust growth of the Cardano ecosystem.
