Cardano's 2026 roadmap is looking solid with several major upgrades in the pipeline. The network is pushing forward with Leios scaling solutions to handle more throughput, while also eyeing Bitcoin DeFi integration to tap into cross-chain opportunities. The Midnight partnerchain launch will expand privacy-focused applications, tier-1 stablecoin support is coming online, and the infrastructure layer is getting beefed up through Pyth Oracle partnerships and other key integrations. It's shaping up to be a significant year for the ecosystem.

Cardano really had me on the edge this time. Leios+BTC cross-chain, whether this combo punch can land or not, we'll see.

If all of these can be implemented next year, that would be really awesome, but I've been hearing about this Cardano approach for over three years now.

Can Leios really solve the throughput problem? It feels like just another pie-in-the-sky promise.

Leios is here, now I can rest assured, finally no need to worry about TPS.
