Intersect, a Cardano<\/a> membership organization, has proposed the Chang hard fork for implementation on Aug. 27.<\/p>\n

In an Aug. 20 post<\/a>, Intersect explained that its proposal was based on a thorough review of the project's progress, community feedback, and the Chang hard fork working group's sentiments. It stated:<\/p>\n

“SPO-readiness was confirmed last week, the exchange liquidity metric is good and improving, and we have been receiving positive readiness updates from many leading DApps.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, the date remains tentative, pending a final decision on Aug. 23. Intersect noted that the timeline could shift if unexpected issues arise, with Sept. 3 as an alternative window.<\/p>\n

This update follows the Node 9.1 upgrade, which marked the final step before the Chang hard fork.<\/p>\n

According to Cardanoscan<\/a>, 80% of stake pool operators (SPOs) have adopted Node 9.1.0, meeting the threshold required for the hard fork. However, liquidity is still a concern, with only 34% of exchanges adopting the upgrade\u2014well below the 80% target.<\/p>\n

Chang hard fork<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chang hard fork<\/a> will introduce significant changes to Cardano's software, rendering it incompatible with previous versions. So, the community's meticulous planning for this upgrade is understandable, as it presents a key milestone in the blockchain network's journey toward the Voltaire era.<\/p>\n

Named after the late Cardano evangelist Phil Chang, the Chang upgrade will give Cardano holders a more direct role in the network's governance. In this era, ADA holders can now actively participate in decisions that shape the platform's future, marking a critical step in Cardano's path to full decentralization.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the upgrade will enhance smart contracts, particularly with the introduction of the PlutusV3 cryptographic primitive, which aims to bolster data security on the network.<\/p>\n

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson<\/a> has emphasized<\/a> the importance of this upgrade, calling it “the most significant milestone” in the crypto industry's history.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the move will make,<\/p>\n

“Cardano a decentralized civilization spanning the entire world with millions of residents. We'll have the most advanced blockchain governance system, annual budgets, a treasury, and the wisdom of our entire community to guide us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
