卡尔达诺的 Chang 硬分叉

硬分叉标志着区块链编程的重大更新。它通常为从一种协议更改为另一种协议铺平道路。

A hard fork is a significant update in a blockchain’s programming. It normally paves the way for a change from one protocol to another. The event also brings about new rules in the chain.

硬分叉是区块链编程的重大更新。它通常为从一种协议更改为另一种协议铺平道路。此次活动也带来了链条上的新规则。

In the case of the Chang hard fork, the milestone reels in changes that will help the Cardano layer-1 blockchain shift toward a decentralized governance model. The upgrade democratizes control of the network to ADA holders by allowing them to elect governance representatives and vote on on-chain development proposals.

就 Chang 硬分叉而言，这一里程碑式的变化将有助于卡尔达诺第一层区块链转向去中心化治理模式。此次升级允许 ADA 持有者选举治理代表并对链上开发提案进行投票，从而使网络控制民主化。

Moreover, the upgrade enhances ADA’s utility beyond its digital currency or exchange value propositions. Before the shift, ADA, which derived its name from the 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace, was limited to its use as a secure medium of exchange without the need for an intermediary and a way to get rewards through Cardano’s staking mechanism.

此外，此次升级还增强了 ADA 的实用性，超越了其数字货币或交换价值主张。在这一转变之前，ADA（得名于 19 世纪数学家 Ada Lovelace）仅限于用作安全的交换媒介，无需中介，也无需通过卡尔达诺的质押机制获得奖励。

Cardano's Interim Governance

卡尔达诺的临时治理

In the initial phase of the Chang upgrade, Cardano will be governed by an Interim Constitutional Committee. The body will oversee the blockchain’s governance during the transition phase.

在Chang升级的初始阶段，卡尔达诺将由临时宪法委员会管理。该机构将在过渡阶段监督区块链的治理。

Cardano will activate the upgrade’s second phase in around 90 days. During this time, the blockchain will eventually empower the participation of qualified community members in the network’s governance bodies.

卡尔达诺将在大约 90 天内启动升级的第二阶段。在此期间，区块链最终将赋予合格的社区成员参与网络治理机构的能力。

Once all the pieces of the puzzle are in place, it will ultimately usher in the Voltaire era of Cardano. Simply put, this event will transform the blockchain into a self-sustaining system with full decentralization. This would be the realization of the foundation’s long-term vision since its inception.

一旦拼图的所有部分都就位，最终将迎来卡尔达诺的伏尔泰时代。简而言之，这一事件将把区块链转变为一个完全去中心化的自我维持系统。这将是基金会自成立以来的长期愿景的实现。

Charles Hoskinson's Official Statement

查尔斯·霍斯金森的官方声明

Charles Hoskinson, Cardano and Ethereum’s co-founder, recently shared his reflections following the activation of the upgrade. According to his lengthy post on X, the blockchain’s transformation is “one of the greatest technical achievements in human history.”

卡尔达诺和以太坊联合创始人查尔斯霍斯金森最近分享了他在升级激活后的想法。根据他在 X 上发表的长篇文章，区块链的转变是“人类历史上最伟大的技术成就之一”。

For him, it further strengthens the distributed system that operates in over 100 countries and never shuts down. It should be noted, however, that Cardano had indeed undergone a downtime in January last year, which resulted in the drop off of 50% to 60% nodes from the network. The incident marked the first-time in five years for the platform.

对他来说，这进一步加强了在 100 多个国家运行且永不关闭的分布式系统。但值得注意的是，卡尔达诺确实在去年 1 月经历过一次宕机，导致 50% 至 60% 的节点从网络中掉出。该事件是该平台五年来首次发生。

Hoskinson added that the feat also “dwarfs Bitcoin” in magnitude due to its uniqueness. He further described Cardano as “a governance virus that is living, self-replicating, and self-sustaining.”

霍斯金森补充说，由于其独特性，这一壮举在规模上也让比特币相形见绌。他进一步将卡尔达诺描述为“一种活的、自我复制和自我维持的治理病毒”。

“It has intelligence and a will to survive and grow,” he went on. “Nothing can shut it down. Nothing can stop its growth.”

“它有智慧以及生存和成长的意愿，”他继续说道。 “没有什么可以阻止它。没有什么可以阻止它的成长。”
