SPOs favor Cardano node 1.35.3 over previous versions.
With Vasil’s mainnet launch around the corner, there has been intensive testing of the much-anticipated hard fork. Last week, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, announced the release of node 1.35.3, the platform that could likely be used for Vasil.
Although many controversies ensued after the launch of the new node, the issue appeared to have been fixed. In the latest development, Cardano Explorer shared a link to a platform showing what node Stake Pool Operators (SPO) are using.

Interestingly, SPOs currently favor the recently released node 1.35.3 over the previous version 1.34. According to data from Cardano Explorer, it is evident that SPOs prefer the new node over others, as 53% of all Cardano Blocks are now Produced By Vasil-friendly 1.35.3 Node.
Hoskinson’s Reaction
Reacting to the development, Hoskinson shared a gif on the microblogging platform with the caption: “Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.”

Hoskinson is impressed with the massive usage of node 1.35.3 among SPOs. This comes a week after some SPOs criticized Hoskinson for not being on the same page as them. As reported by TheCryptoBasic, the CTO of ProjectNEWM had advised other SPOs not to upgrade to node 1.35.3 on mainnet because Hoskinson was “not on the same page as his DevOps and test teams.” However, the issue is behind Cardano, as SPOs favor node 1.35.3 over other node versions.
As The Crypto Basic reports, Input Output Global (IOG) reveals that the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance has started upgrading its Cardano nodes in anticipation of the Vasil hard fork.
