卡尔达诺七岁生日：数百万笔交易、数千个项目和一个势不可挡的社区

Cardano 刚刚度过了七岁生日，其开发商 Input Output Global (IOG) 在 X（以前的 Twitter）上庆祝了这一里程碑。

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.

权益证明区块链平台卡尔达诺最近庆祝了成立七周年。其开发商 Input Output Global (IOG) 通过推文强调了该平台的成就来纪念这一时刻。

"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 在推文中写道：“卡尔达诺，生日快乐。七年了。数百万笔交易。一千多个项目。一个不可阻挡的社区。”其中包括一段展示卡尔达诺旅程的短片。

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 于 2017 年推出，迄今已处理 9560 万笔交易，表明采用率不断上升。该平台的发展也很明显，拥有 74,700 个 Plutus 脚本（卡尔达诺智能合约的基础）和 133 万个委托钱包，这表明了一个强大的质押生态系统。

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.

剪辑中提到的其他网络亮点包括 226 篇研究论文、基于 Cardano 生态系统的 1,373 个项目以及支持超过 1,800 个有助于创新的资助创意的 12 轮 Catalyst 融资。

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.

卡尔达诺的旅程经历了不同时代的多次升级和转变，从登顶珠穆朗玛峰到在世界各地举办活动，视频中强调了其日益增长的全球影响力。

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.

卡尔达诺历史上的硬分叉卡尔达诺在其七年中经历了几次硬分叉（所有节点从当前时代过渡到新时代时，应用新功能、验证标准或参数值的特定且双方商定的确切时间段），一些IOG 的帖子中提到了其中的内容。

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.

雪莱硬分叉于 2020 年 7 月 29 日触发，引入了质押和去中心化功能，将网络从联邦系统转变为去中心化系统。

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

玛丽硬分叉于 2021 年 3 月 1 日推出，为卡尔达诺带来了原生代币功能，允许用户创建自定义代币并进行交易。

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

Alonzo 硬分叉于 2021 年 9 月 12 日启动，引入了使用 Plutus 的智能合约功能，从而实现了去中心化应用程序 (dApp) 的部署。

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

Vasil 硬分叉于 2022 年 9 月 22 日推出，提高了卡尔达诺网络的可扩展性和性能。

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于2024年9月1日发起，引入了CIP-1694的第一批去中心化治理功能，仅支持参数更改和硬分叉发起，这标志着康威时代的第一次硬分叉。
