Cardano's Chang Hard Fork: Not ‘Here’ Yet Despite Earlier Signals

卡爾達諾的 Chang 硬分叉：儘管有早期信號，但尚未“到來”

Cardano’s (ADA) highly anticipated Chang hard fork has been a hot topic of discussion in the blockchain world. Initially scheduled for August 27, 2024, the hard fork is a critical milestone in Cardano’s roadmap, promising to improve the network's scalability and security. But as of the latest developments, the hard fork is not exactly “here” yet—despite some earlier signals of imminent deployment.

卡爾達諾（ADA）備受期待的Chang硬分叉一直是區塊鏈界討論的熱門話題。硬分叉最初定於 2024 年 8 月 27 日進行，是卡爾達諾路線圖中的一個重要里程碑，有望提高網路的可擴展性和安全性。但根據最新進展，硬分叉還沒有完全「到來」——儘管之前有一些即將部署的訊號。

Binance, Critical Exchanges Reach Advanced Readiness for Chang Hard Fork

幣安、Critical 交易所為 Chang 硬分叉做好了高級準備

For a successful hard fork, it is essential to ensure that key stakeholders are fully prepared. This includes cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets. To transition smoothly, they need to be fully ready for the hard fork.

對於成功的硬分叉，必須確保關鍵利害關係人做好充分準備。這包括加密貨幣交易所和錢包。為了順利過渡，他們需要為硬分叉做好充分準備。

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has confirmed its readiness for the Chang hard fork. This news comes at a critical juncture as the exchange readiness has now reached a crucial stage. Just four hours ago, Binance joined the league of exchanges that are fully prepared for the upgrade, as indicated on Cardanoscan, a reliable block explorer.

全球交易量最大的加密貨幣交易所幣安已確認已準備好實施 Chang 硬分叉。此消息發布之際，交易所準備工作已進入關鍵階段。就在四個小時前，幣安加入了為升級做好充分準備的交易所聯盟，正如可靠的區塊瀏覽器 Cardanoscan 所示。

But Binance isn’t alone in this preparation. The number of exchanges signaling their readiness has quickly increased this week, jumping from 31 to 37. However, this process has encountered some hiccups.

但幣安並不是唯一一家進行這項準備工作的公司。本週，表示準備就緒的交易所數量迅速增加，從 31 家躍升至 37 家。

They pushed the hard fork, which was originally set for August 27, to September 1 because several exchanges, including Binance, which handles 15.73% of Cardano’s liquidity, were not fully prepared for the hard fork.

他們將原定於8 月27 日進行的硬分叉推遲至9 月1 日，因為包括處理卡爾達諾15.73% 流動性的幣安在內的多家交易所尚未為硬分叉做好充分準備。

On August 24, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, announced the delay, explaining that they needed more time to ensure that all major exchanges were fully prepared. At that time, only 64% of exchanges had confirmed their readiness, while the remaining 36% were either still updating or yet to begin the process.

8 月 24 日，卡爾達諾創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森 (Charles Hoskinson) 宣布推遲，並解釋說他們需要更多時間來確保所有主要交易所做好充分準備。當時，只有 64% 的交易所確認已做好準備，其餘 36% 的交易所仍在更新或尚未開始流程。

Currently, 17% of exchanges are still updating their nodes, with HTX (formerly Huobi) leading this group, accounting for 7.25% of Cardano’s liquidity. Bitget follows with 4.13%. On the other hand, 11 exchanges, representing 19% of the total, have not yet begun preparations. The Lithuanian-based exchange P2B, which holds 3.21% of liquidity, is the most significant among them.

目前，17%的交易所仍在更新節點，其中HTX（原火幣）處於領先地位，佔卡爾達諾流動性的7.25%。 Bitget 緊隨其後，佔 4.13%。另一方面，佔總數19%的11家交易所尚未開始準備。其中最重要的是立陶宛交易所 P2B，持有 3.21% 的流動性。
