長期運行的Cardano（ADA）代金券贖回計劃的第三方法醫審查終於開始了

Cardano的三個創始實體之一Emurgo歡迎此舉，並敦促社區“等待獨立審計結果”

The third-party forensic review of the long-running Cardano (ADA) voucher redemption programme is now in motion after Input Output Global (IOG) confirmed that the global law firm McDermott Will & Emery (MW&E) and the audit heavyweight BDO have been retained to “audit and prepare a public report of the ADA redemption,” according to IOG’s chief legal and policy officer Joel Telpner.

長期運行的Cardano（ADA）代金券贖回計劃的第三方法醫審查現在已在投入輸出全球（IOG）之後確認，全球律師事務所McDermott Will＆Emery（MW＆E）和審計重量級BDO已被保留為“審計和準備ADA贖回的公開報告”。

The engagement will hopefully neutralise weeks of controversy over allegations that hundreds of millions of unclaimed ADA were quietly diverted during a 2021 ledger event and to provide a definitive historical ledger of every presale token, its status and its current location.

參與度有望消除數週的爭議，該指控是在2021年的分類帳活動中悄悄地轉移了數億個無人認領的ADA，並提供了每個預售令牌，其地位和當前位置的確切歷史分類帳。

Cardano Engages Firms To Audit Unclaimed ADA Vouchers

Cardano聘請公司審核無人認領的ADA代金券

Emurgo, one of the three founding entities of Cardano, has welcomed the move and urged the community to “await the independent audit results,” insisting that only a tiny fraction of presale vouchers remain outstanding after a seven-year search that even involved door-to-door visits in Japan.

Emurgo是Cardano的三個創始實體之一，他歡迎這一舉動，並敦促社區“等待獨立的審計結果”，堅持認為，在七年的搜索中，只有一小部分的預售代金券在日本的挨家挨戶訪問之後才保持出色。

In his post on X, Telpner wrote that MW&E, “a global law firm with more than 1,400 lawyers and 24 locations,” and BDO, “a global accounting and audit firm with worldwide locations,” would begin work immediately and have been instructed to deliver the report “as soon as humanly possible.” MW&E’s fintech and blockchain group has been ranked in Chambers FinTech for two consecutive years, reflecting deep regulatory and transactional expertise in digital assets.

Telpner在有關X上的帖子中寫道：“一家擁有1400多名律師和24個地點的全球律師事務所”和BDO，“全球會計和審計公司的全球會計和審計公司”將立即開始工作，並已被指示“盡快交付報告”。 MW＆E的金融科技和區塊鏈組連續兩年在錢伯斯金融科技中排名，反映了數字資產的深厚監管和交易專業知識。

BDO, for its part, advertises a dedicated digital-asset forensics practice that combines on-chain analytics with open-source intelligence to trace complex token flows. Telpner added that a specialist blockchain analytics firm will be added to the engagement once conflicts checks are complete.

就BDO而言，BDO宣傳了專門的數字資產法醫實踐，該實踐將鏈上的分析與開源智能相結合，以追踪複雜的令牌流。 Telpner補充說，一旦完成衝突檢查，將添加一家專業區塊鏈分析公司。

Emurgo’s thread, posted less than 24 hours before Telpner’s announcement, stressed that “the vast majority of the pre-sale ADA vouchers have been successfully redeemed” and that the remaining unredeemed slice became technically unspendable after the Shelley hard fork, necessitating an on-chain move to preserve redemption rights. The company acknowledged community frustration but warned that some criticisms had crossed into “excessive, unwarranted FUD” that ignores the full context of the painstaking redemption effort.

Emurgo的線程在Telpner宣佈公告之前不到24小時，他強調說：“絕大多數預售的ADA代金券已成功兌換”，並且在雪萊（Shelley）堅硬的叉子之後，剩下的未贖回的Slice在技術上變得難以兌現，這是必要在鍊子上進行固定移動以保護贖回權。該公司承認社區的挫敗感，但警告說，一些批評已經陷入了“過度，無理的FUD”中，這些批評忽略了艱苦的救贖努力的全部背景。

The Cardano Foundation, which was not directly involved in post-2021 voucher operations, issued its own statement on May 19 noting that “the effort to locate and support remaining voucher holders has been led by the IO team over the past four years” and welcoming the coming audit.

Cardano基金會未直接參與2021年後的代金券業務，於5月19日發布了自己的聲明，指出“在過去的四年中，IO團隊領導並支持剩餘的代金券持有人的努力”，並歡迎即將來臨的審計。

Pressure for a comprehensive report intensified after NFT artist Masato Alexander published a thread on May 7 accusing IOG founder Charles Hoskinson of using “genesis keys” during the Allegra hard fork to reassign about 318 million ADA—worth roughly US $619 million at the time—from unredeemed presale wallets to treasury accounts via a Move Instantaneous Rewards (MIR) transaction in October 2021.

Hoskinson called the charge “false and misleading,” asserting that “IOG never gave itself 350 million unclaimed ADA. This is a lie,” and said the unredeemed remainder—less than 0.2 per cent of the crowdsale—was ultimately donated to Intersect, Cardano’s governance body. He also threatened legal action against those repeating the allegations.

霍斯金森（Hoskinson）稱這項指控為“虛假和誤導性”，他斷言“ IOG從未給自己3.5億個無人認領的ADA。這是一個謊言”，並說，未贖回的剩餘者（不到眾包的0.2％）最終捐贈給了Intersect，Cardano的統治機構。他還威脅要對重複指控的人採取法律訴訟。
