The Cardano team is planning to launch the decentralization of the network’s stake pool operator (SPO) just weeks after giving the community full control of block production.
The SPO development was announced by IOHK, the blockchain research and development firm behind Cardano. The company states that SPO decentralization aims to set up a reliable and effective connection between distributed nodes.
IOHK notes that before decentralization of the stake pool operator, there is a need to enhance the Cardano network software. The first phase entailed activating the peer-to-peer (P2P) governor, deployment of the connection manager, and releasing a private P2P testnet in April.
