Only 6% Left Until Cardano Hits Max Capacity, What This Means For ADA

Recently, the Cardano blockchain ecosystem and decentralized
platform have experienced an unprecedentedly high percentage of
load pressure, which has led to raised questions and concerns from
the blockchain community. At the same time, its native token ADA’s
price has struggled for months and has yet to record any
significant gains and upside movements in the cryptocurrency
markets. Yesterday, a report analysis made by the cofounder of
dcSpark and contributor to the Cardano blockchain clearly reflected
where the blockchain platform is in terms of transaction load and
what it means for users. Cardano Is Currently At 94% Load, Only 6%
Left-What To Expect Sebastien Guillemot, the co-founder of dcSpark
and Cardano contributor, recently highlighted a concern about the
ADA blockchain network ecosystem. Related Reading: Bitcoin Block

a tweet yesterday, Guillemot stated that the Cardano
blockchain network is currently at a 94% load, with only 6% left
until it reaches max capacity. Cardano is currently at 94%
load! Only 6% left until Cardano is at max capacity What does that
mean, and how can you be prepared 🧵 pic.twitter.com/1TZsIUg10N —
Sebastien Guillemot (@SebastienGllmt) May 8, 2023 According to
Guillemot, if the load reaches max capacity at 100%, transactions
initiated by each user on the blockchain will be queued up
alongside other users’ transactions. No “Cardano node implements
transaction prioritization,” he said, and as such, each user’s
transactions will be processed on a first-come, first-served model.
Guillemot further stated that this could mean longer wait times for
transactions to show up on-chain, and in extreme cases, user
transactions may never make it to the blockchain. The result of
this, he said, is caused by light wallet Mempools hitting maximum
capacity than it can hold. Related Reading: Ethereum Gas Fees
Skyrocket: What Does It Mean For Investors? Another thing users can
expect when Cardano hits 100% max capacity is the likelihood of
staking pools selling priority access to decentralized applications
(dApps) and even to some users. Guillemot urged that when staking
pools start selling priority access to select DEXs and dApps, it
would be a good time for users to pay attention to how this move
impacts one DEX to another and in choosing which DEX is suitable to
leverage at any given time. Way Forward To Scalability While
Cardano nears max capacity, the dcSpark co-founder has suggested
how to scale and reduce load pressure on the blockchain, having
touched on what users can expect if it happens. Guillemot had
listed several ways to scale the blockchain, including increasing
block sizes and migrating more decentralized applications (dApps)
to Plutus V2. He also suggested using sidechains and layer 2
blockchains to shoulder traffic off layer 1 and developing a data
availability layer to transfer more data off layer 1 so that there
is ample room for more blocks. At press time, ADA trades at $0.363,
a 0.91% increase from its daily low. ADA experiences a steep
decline in price on the daily timeframe | Source: ADAUSD on
