长期运行的Cardano（ADA）代金券赎回计划的第三方法医审查终于开始了

Cardano的三个创始实体之一Emurgo欢迎此举，并敦促社区“等待独立审计结果”

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.

长期运行的Cardano（ADA）代金券赎回计划的第三方法医审查现在已在投入输出全球（IOG）之后确认，全球律师事务所McDermott Will＆Emery（MW＆E）和审计重量级BDO已被保留为“审计和准备ADA赎回的公开报告”。

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.

参与度有望消除数周的争议，该指控是在2021年的分类帐活动中悄悄地转移了数亿个无人认领的ADA，并提供了每个预售令牌，其地位和当前位置的确切历史分类帐。

Cardano Engages Firms To Audit Unclaimed ADA Vouchers

Cardano聘请公司审核无人认领的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的三个创始实体之一，他欢迎这一举动，并敦促社区“等待独立的审计结果”，坚持认为，在七年的搜索中，只有一小部分的预售代金券在日本的挨家挨户访问之后才保持出色。

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在有关X上的帖子中写道：“一家拥有1400多名律师和24个地点的全球律师事务所”和BDO，“全球会计和审计公司的全球会计和审计公司”将立即开始工作，并已被指示“尽快交付报告”。 MW＆E的金融科技和区块链组连续两年在钱伯斯金融科技中排名，反映了数字资产的深厚监管和交易专业知识。

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宣传了专门的数字资产法医实践，该实践将链上的分析与开源智能相结合，以追踪复杂的令牌流。 Telpner补充说，一旦完成冲突检查，将添加一家专业区块链分析公司。

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的线程在Telpner宣布公告之前不到24小时，他强调说：“绝大多数预售的ADA代金券已成功兑换”，并且在雪莱（Shelley）坚硬的叉子之后，剩下的未赎回的Slice在技术上变得难以兑现，这是必要在链子上进行固定移动以保护赎回权。该公司承认社区的挫败感，但警告说，一些批评已经陷入了“过度，无理的FUD”中，这些批评忽略了艰苦的救赎努力的全部背景。

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基金会未直接参与2021年后的代金券业务，于5月19日发布了自己的声明，指出“在过去的四年中，IO团队领导并支持剩余的代金券持有人的努力”，并欢迎即将来临的审计。

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）称这项指控为“虚假和误导性”，他断言“ IOG从未给自己3.5亿个无人认领的ADA。这是一个谎言”，并说，未赎回的剩余者（不到众包的0.2％）最终捐赠给了Intersect，Cardano的统治机构。他还威胁要对重复指控的人采取法律诉讼。
