Preparations ongoing for Chang upgrade

The upcoming Chang enhancements, slated for August 2024 with sufficient community readiness, are predicted to bring about a pivotal shift for Cardano, signifying an essential step forward in its development plan.

During the Voltaire phase of the Cardano project, Chang represents the initial significant update or divergence from the main network, functioning as the first hard fork.

Anticipating the Chang upgrade, there’s been a shift in attention towards rigorous testing for Cardano. This step is essential to fortify all components and readiness them for the impending shift into the Conway era.

The Lace team is presently gearing up for the imminent launch of Lace version 1.14 within the coming fortnight.

All Cardano node users are advised to update their nodes to version 9.0.0 following its release, in anticipation of the upcoming Chang upgrade. Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) require only a minor configuration adjustment (updating to node version 9.1.0) for full readiness.

A hard fork combinator event can occur once nearly 75% of SPOs have upgraded to cardano-node 9.1.0.
