Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said the network would meet his personal definition of completion only after the Leios upgrade reaches mainnet. The statement is not a formal release announcement or new governance action. Leios remains in public testing, where the Musashi Dojo testnet's Earth phase peaked at 26.8 TxkB/s, roughly six times the 4.51 TxkB/s reported for Praos-only mainnet conditions. TxkB/s measures transaction data throughput rather than transactions per second, so the result cannot be treated as a 26.8 TPS reading. Linear Leios is targeted for the first phase of the Dijkstra hard fork in late 2026, subject to governance approval, stake-pool readiness and staged parameter changes. The design adds endorser blocks and stake-weighted committee certificates while retaining the Praos chain. Hoskinson also described an undeveloped Midnight concept as the magnum opus of his career but provided no technical design, launch date or product specification. Earlier reporting cited about 1,000 TPS in Leios testing and said MusashiNet had entered its Fire phase; the newer account emphasizes the 26.8 TxkB/s Earth-phase result and the continuing test status.
