    To protect against possible future spam attacks, developers are implementing a node upgrade on the Cardano blockchain.

    A DDoS attack began on June 25th at block 10,487,530 of the Cardano network, targeting fee manipulation for high-value transactions, as explained by Raul Antonio, CTO of Fluid Tokens.
