Cardano（ADA）发布“Node 9.0”软件，长硬分叉在即

Cardano开发团队于7月8日发布了Cardano验证器节点软件的最新版本“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验证器节点软件版本“Node 9.0”由开发团队于7月8日发布。根据Cardano创始人Charles Hoskinson于7月7日发布的YouTube视频，这个新软件是即将到来的Chang硬分叉所需的最后一个开发步骤。

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.”

该软件于世界标准时间晚上 7 点左右发布。根据其注释，它“是第一个可以支持在主网和长期运行的测试网上（例如 PreProd）跨越 9.0 硬分叉（Chang）边界的节点。”

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 视频中宣布该软件即将发布，并表示将在“下周”推出。他还声称，“可能周一或周二，大规模升级的信号就会到来。” Hoskinson 表示，要发生硬分叉，70% 的节点需要投票才能升级到新软件。

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 硬分叉旨在成为卡尔达诺完全去中心化治理的第一步。它开启了卡尔达诺路线图上的“伏尔泰时代”，这一时期的特点是网络政治体系发生巨大变化。

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.

开发人员在卡尔达诺改进提案 1694 (CIP 1694) 中概述了这些变化。根据该提案，Chang 最终将启用代表（DReps）的引入，该代表将由 Cardano ADA 代币持有者选举产生。

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.

这些代表将起草卡尔达诺宪法，该宪法将成为网络的最高管理法律。在宪法起草并获得批准后，DReps将继续根据该宪法提出对网络的修改建议。

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“启用 DRep 投票和所有治理操作”，因为完整的投票协议仅在 10.0 版本中提供。即便如此，它“支持在生产环境中进入 CIP-1694 的引导阶段”。

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

截至发稿时，区块浏览器 Cardanoscan 显示交易所和权益池尚未为硬分叉做好准备。

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 视频中，霍斯金森表示，他预计硬分叉将于“周一或周二”开始，这表明该过程将于 7 月 8 日至 9 日开始。

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 此前曾表示，他预计分叉将于 6 月发生，但该截止日期大约在一周前就已过去。在攻击者试图通过分布式拒绝服务攻击破坏网络后，卡尔达诺于 6 月 26 日实施了另一次节点升级。
