Cardano price: Node 11.2 pre-release moves Dijkstra testing closer
Published on 11/04/2026 at 07:08 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSCardano upgrade enters testing phase
- Node 11.2 is available as a pre-release and is intended to move DijkstraNet into the Dijkstra era for integration testing.
- ADA was shown at USD 0.1910 in an Investing.com snapshot, below the USD 0.20 level.
- CIP-0113 programmable tokens are live on Cardano mainnet, adding a regulated-asset use case based on the EUTXO model.
The Cardano price remains below USD 0.20 as development of the Dijkstra upgrade moves into a more concrete testing phase. In a real-time snapshot marked 23:07:41, Investing.com displayed ADA/USD at USD 0.1910. The page did not provide a calendar date for that timestamp, so the figure is treated as a retrieved snapshot rather than a verified UTC closing price for November 4.
Node 11.2 sets testing stage
In its October 30 update, Intersect said Node 11.2 had arrived as a pre-release. The version carries the Dijkstra hard fork feature set apart from Leios and is intended to move DijkstraNet into the Dijkstra era, allowing downstream teams to begin integration testing. Stake pool operators on DijkstraNet are expected to upgrade before the testnet hard fork.
The next step is not presented as a completed mainnet upgrade. Intersect said Node 11.3 is intended to include Leios and deliver the complete Dijkstra feature set, while the timing of a tagged pre-release remained subject to further work. The same update said parameter values and guardrails for the proposed CAP-12 constitutional amendments could still change before Node 11.3 benchmarking is complete.
Programmable assets add utility
Cardano's development pipeline also includes a separate tokenization track. The Cardano Foundation reported on October 7 that CIP-0113 programmable tokens had gone live on mainnet. The standard keeps tokens native to Cardano's EUTXO model and allows compliance logic to travel with the asset. The announcement listed support from Eternl, GeroWallet, CardanoScan and BloxBean, while the CMTA recognized the standard as a smart-contract equivalent for its certification scheme.
What ADA holders should watch
For ADA holders, the near-term focus is whether public testing produces a reliable path from Node 11.2 and DijkstraNet toward the broader Leios rollout. A separate Cardano development update described new Dijkstra-scoped benchmarks and ongoing work on Node 11.2 preparation. These are development milestones, not evidence of a completed mainnet activation or a guaranteed price response.
