  • Produced reusable components related to orchestration and deployment
  • The Doom tournament will:
    • See Hydra hit 1 million tps, expose Cardano to thousands of new users
    • Show performance at the next log scale ~10,000 tps -> 1,000,000 tps
    • Encourage enterprise exploration and adoption by showing performance
    • Integrations with Demeter, iagon hosting, SPO interest, eutxo.org
