đ„đ„đ„ #cardano prepares for Voltaire era with Node 9.0 launch
Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, has announced that the release of Cardano Node 9.0 is anticipated for June, setting the stage for the Chang hard fork and ushering in the Voltaire Age.
In a recent post on X, Hoskinson stated, "It looks like June will be the month that Cardano Node will reach 9.0. This means that Cardano is Chang fork ready and waiting for 70 percent of the SPOs to install the new node. Then, a hard fork can occur pushing Cardano into the Age of Voltaire."
The Chang hard fork represents a major milestone for Cardano, transitioning the blockchain into a new era of decentralized governance. Hoskinson expressed his vision for Cardano's future: "Cardano will be a decentralized civilization spanning the entire world with millions of residents. Weâll have the most advanced #Blockchain governance system, annual budgets, a treasury, and the wisdom of our entire community to guide us."
The Voltaire Age will introduce a governance system that empowers the community to engage in decision-making processes. Initially, governance features will be implemented as per CIP 1694, laying the groundwork for #Decentralized voting. The subsequent phase will enhance these features, allowing for proxy participation and treasury withdrawals, thus enabling the community to propose and fund projects within the Cardano ecosystem.
Ahead of the Chang hard fork, Cardano released node version 8.9.2, addressing a critical issue in the peer-sharing networking feature, thereby bolstering the platformâs peer-to-peer networking capabilities.
Cardano's native token, ADA, stands to gain from this significant upgrade. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.441 and ranks among the top ten crypto assets by market capitalization, according to CoinGeckoâs data.
