Cardano's (ADA) Ouroboros Leios is an upgrade to the key consensus of the Cardano (ADA) blockchain that can dramatically accelerate the process of verifying transactions. This protocol is based on the UTXO model and will enable the blockchain to execute verifications between blocks faster. The upgrade was compared to the operations of a Disney park, where visitors can get on the ride as soon as its their time, ensuring that resources are not left idling. This efficiency was reflected in the researcher's statement, where she noted that this 10x improvement to transaction speed is only made possible with the UTXO model.

Ouroboros is a subtype of the well-known proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus protocol and will be used by the Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) blockchains for synchronizing nodes and adding new blocks to their respective ledgers. This protocol will bring a greater degree of scalability and faster transactions to Cardano (ADA) users as well as to the UXTU blockchain community at large.

The desire of many Cardano (ADA) developers and enthusiasts to achieve this level of efficiency has lead them to anticipate this update, which is anticipated to land between Q2-Q3 2022. If this timeframe holds true, then this modification will bring a much needed improvement to the blockchain thereby allowing it to take one step closer to full decentralization. With this update, Cardano (ADA) is pushing the boundaries of blockchain scalability and transactional speeds, which will no doubt be eagerly awaited by the Cardano (ADA) and UXTU blockchain communities.
