Cardano plans the deployment of the Dijkstra era in two distinct phases, with the first phase introducing Nested Transactions and Linear Leios targeted for late 2026, and a second phase with Peras scheduled for Q2 2027 via an intra-era hard fork. Four major Cardano node releases are expected in the coming months, with Cardano-node-11.3 designed as the official hard fork candidate. A public testnet called DijkstraNet will be launched after the 11.2 release to allow developers to test new features, including Plutus V4 and CIP-50. The moderate confidence window for the Dijkstra hard fork enactment spans from December 5, 2026 to January 4, 2027, while the high confidence window is planned between February 24 and March 26, 2027.
