Coinfomania and UNLOCK Blockchain agree on Cardano's two-phase Dijkstra timeline but describe different technical features for Phase 2.
Coinfomania and UNLOCK Blockchain agree on Cardano's two-phase Dijkstra timeline but describe different technical features for Phase 2.
What all sources agree on
- Cardano is rolling out its Dijkstra upgrade in two phases.
- Phase 1 is targeted for Q4 2026.
- Phase 2 is targeted for Q2 2027.
Where the reports disagree
1What technical feature Phase 2 introduces
Phase 2 will roll out in Q2 2027, adding a stake-pool voting layer to accelerate settlement processes.
The upgrade would then progress toward a second phase in Q2 2027, when Cardano plans to introduce Ouroboros Peras, a consensus enhancement designed to accelerate transaction finality.
What would settle it: Cardano's or Input Output Global's official Dijkstra upgrade roadmap or CIP documentation specifying Phase 2 contents.
What to make of it
The Q4 2026 / Q2 2027 two-phase timeline for Dijkstra can be treated as established, but the specific feature attributed to Phase 2 — stake-pool voting versus Ouroboros Peras — is unresolved between these two reports and should not be relied on until confirmed by an official Cardano or IOG source.
