卡爾達諾七歲生日：數百萬筆交易、數千個項目和一個勢不可擋的社區

Cardano 剛剛度過了七歲生日，其開發商 Input Output Global (IOG) 在 X（以前的 Twitter）上慶祝了這一里程碑。

Cardano, a proof-of-stake blockchain platform, recently celebrated its seventh anniversary. Its developer, Input Output Global (IOG), marked the occasion with a tweet highlighting the platform's achievements.

權益證明區塊鏈平台卡爾達諾最近慶祝了成立七週年。其開發商 Input Output Global (IOG) 透過推文強調了該平台的成就來紀念這一時刻。

"Happy birthday, Cardano. 7 years. Millions of transactions. Over a thousand projects. One unstoppable community," IOG wrote in the tweet, which included a short clip showcasing Cardano's journey.

IOG 在推文中寫道：「卡爾達諾，生日快樂。七年了。數百萬筆交易。一千多個項目。一個不可阻擋的社區。」其中包括一段展示卡爾達諾旅程的短片。

Launched in 2017, Cardano has processed 95.6 million transactions to date, indicating increasing adoption. The platform's development is also evident, with 74,700 Plutus scripts — the foundation of Cardano's smart contracts — and 1.33 million delegated wallets, suggesting a strong staking ecosystem.

Cardano 於 2017 年推出，迄今已處理 9,560 萬筆交易，顯示採用率不斷上升。該平台的發展也很明顯，擁有 74,700 個 Plutus 腳本（卡爾達諾智能合約的基礎）和 133 萬個委託錢包，這表明了一個強大的質押生態系統。

Other network highlights mentioned in the clip include 226 research papers, 1,373 projects building on the Cardano ecosystem and 12 rounds of Catalyst funding supporting over 1,800 funded ideas that contribute to innovation.

剪輯中提到的其他網路亮點包括 226 篇研究論文、基於 Cardano 生態系統的 1,373 個項目以及支持超過 1,800 個有助於創新的資助創意的 12 輪 Catalyst 融資。

Cardano's journey has seen several upgrades and transitions through different eras, and its growing global impact is highlighted in the clip, from summiting Everest to hosting events worldwide.

卡爾達諾的旅程經歷了不同時代的多次升級和轉變，從登頂珠穆朗瑪峰到在世界各地舉辦活動，影片中強調了其日益增長的全球影響力。

Hard forks in Cardano's historyCardano has undergone several hard forks (a specific and mutually agreed-upon exact time slot when all nodes transition from the current era to a new one, applying new functions, validation criteria or parameter values) throughout its seven years, some of which were mentioned in IOG's post.

卡爾達諾歷史上的硬分叉卡爾達諾在其七年中經歷了幾次硬分叉（所有節點從當前時代過渡到新時代時，應用新功能、驗證標準或參數值的特定且雙方商定的確切時間段），一些IOG 的帖子中提到了其中的內容。

The Shelley hard fork, which triggered on July 29, 2020, introduced staking and decentralization features, transitioning the network from a federated to a decentralized system.

雪萊硬分叉於 2020 年 7 月 29 日觸發，引入了質押和去中心化功能，將網路從聯邦系統轉變為去中心化系統。

The Mary Hardfork, which launched on March 1, 2021, brought native token functionality to Cardano, allowing users to create and transact with custom tokens.

瑪麗硬分叉於 2021 年 3 月 1 日推出，為卡爾達諾帶來了原生代幣功能，允許用戶創建自訂代幣並進行交易。

The Alonzo hardfork, which initiated on Sept. 12, 2021, introduced smart contract capabilities using Plutus, enabling the deployment of decentralized applications (dApps).

Alonzo 硬分叉於 2021 年 9 月 12 日啟動，引入了使用 Plutus 的智慧合約功能，從而實現了去中心化應用程式 (dApp) 的部署。

The Vasil hardfork, which launched on Sept. 22, 2022, improved the scalability and performance of the Cardano network.

Vasil 硬分叉於 2022 年 9 月 22 日推出，提高了卡爾達諾網路的可擴展性和效能。

The most recent, Chang, which initiated on Sept. 1, 2024, introduced the first batch of decentralized governance features of CIP-1694, enabling only parameter changes and hard fork initiations, marking the first hard fork in the Conway era.

最近的一次，Chang於2024年9月1日發起，引入了CIP-1694的第一批去中心化治理功能，僅支援參數變更和硬分叉發起，這標誌著康威時代的第一次硬分叉。
