Cardano（ADA）發布「Node 9.0」軟體，長硬分叉在即

Cardano開發團隊於7月8日發布了Cardano驗證器節點軟體的最新版本「Node 9.0」。

Cardano validator node software version “Node 9.0” was released by the development team on July 8. According to a YouTube video posted by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson on July 7, this new software is the last development step required for the upcoming Chang hard fork.

Cardano驗證器節點軟體版本「Node 9.0」由開發團隊於7月8日發布。最後一個開發步驟。

The software was released at approximately 7 pm UTC. According to its notes, it “is the first node that can support crossing the 9.0 hard fork (Chang) boundary on mainnet and long-running testnets, such as PreProd.”

該軟體於世界標準時間晚上 7 點左右發布。根據其註釋，它“是第一個可以支援在主網和長期運行的測試網上（例如 PreProd）跨越 9.0 硬分叉（Chang）邊界的節點。”

The previous day, Hoskinson announced in a YouTube video that the software’s release was imminent, stating that it would be available “next week.” He also claimed that “probably Monday or Tuesday, the signal for mass upgrades will come.” For a hard fork to occur, 70% of nodes will need to vote to upgrade to the new software, Hoskinson stated.

前一天，霍斯金森在 YouTube 影片中宣布該軟體即將發布，並表示將在「下週」推出。他還聲稱，“可能週一或週二，大規模升級的信號就會到來。” Hoskinson 表示，要發生硬分叉，70% 的節點需要投票才能升級到新軟體。

The Chang hard fork is intended to be the first step in giving Cardano fully decentralized governance. It begins the “Age of Voltaire” on Cardano's roadmap, a period characterized by massive changes to the network's political system.

Chang 硬分叉旨在成為卡爾達諾完全去中心化治理的第一步。它開啟了卡爾達諾路線圖上的“伏爾泰時代”，這一時期的特點是網路政治體系發生巨大變化。

These changes are outlined by the developers in Cardano Improvement Proposal 1694 (CIP 1694). According to this proposal, Chang will eventually enable the introduction of Delegate Representatives (DReps), who will be elected by Cardano ADA tokenholders.

開發人員在卡爾達諾改進提案 1694 (CIP 1694) 中概述了這些變更。根據該提案，Chang 最終將啟用代表（DReps）的引入，該代表將由 Cardano ADA 代幣持有者選舉產生。

These representatives will draft a Cardano Constitution, which will become the supreme governing law of the network. After a Constitution is drafted and approved, DReps will continue to propose changes to the network in accordance with this constitution.

這些代表將起草卡爾達諾憲法，該憲法將成為網路的最高管理法律。在憲法起草並獲得批准後，DReps將繼續根據該憲法提出對網路的修改建議。

The Node 9.0 notes state that it will not yet “enable DRep voting and all governance actions,” as the full voting protocol will only be provided in version 10.0. Even so, it “supports entering the bootstrap phase of CIP-1694 in production environments.”

Node 9.0 指出，它尚未“啟用 DRep 投票和所有治理操作”，因為完整的投票協議僅在 10.0 版本中提供。即便如此，它「支援在生產環境中進入 CIP-1694 的引導階段」。

At the time of publication, block explorer Cardanoscan shows that exchanges and stake pools have not yet prepared for the hard fork.

截至發稿時，區塊瀏覽器 Cardanoscan 顯示交易所和權益池尚未為硬分叉做好準備。

In the YouTube video, Hoskinson stated that he expects the hard fork to begin on “Monday or Tuesday,” indicating that the process will start on July 8-9.

在 YouTube 影片中，霍斯金森表示，他預計硬分叉將於「週一或週二」開始，這表明該過程將於 7 月 8 日至 9 日開始。

Hoskinson had previously stated that he expected the fork to occur in June, but that deadline passed approximately one week ago. Cardano implemented another node upgrade on June 26 after an attacker attempted to crash the network through a distributed denial-of-service attack.

Hoskinson 先前曾表示，他預計分叉將於 6 月發生，但截止日期大約在一周前就已過去。在攻擊者試圖透過分散式拒絕服務攻擊破壞網路後，卡爾達諾於 6 月 26 日實施了另一次節點升級。
