Onboarding new solutions to boost the decentralized finance capabilities of Bitcoin is a big ask for IOG. However, other the past few weeks, the started has conducted a series of upgrades to enhance its mainnet.
One of the latest features the Cardano Hydra Doom testing. Following this testnet showcase, the Proof-of-Stake (POS) recorded a 1 million Transaction Per Second (TPS) milestone.
This massive scaling potential is good for the projected linkup as Bitcoin has a considerably large userbase that may want to explore the DeFi products.
While there are speculations on what the latest update mean for the BitcoinOS partnership, Charles Hoskinson hinted that there is time to implement all it has to do.
