Cardano has announced the release of a major wallet update just ahead of the highly anticipated Chang hard fork. This wallet release marks a major step in preparing Cardano for one of its most transformative upgrades. In a recent tweet, Cardano developer Input Output Global (IOG) announced that Daedalus version 6.0.0 has been released to mainnet, pre-prod, and preview. Daedalus 6.0.0 is the mainnet release required to move through the upcoming Chang hard fork and operate in the Conway era, so all Daedalus users may need to update to this version.
This version updates to node 9.1.0, Cardano wallet v2024-07-27, dependent libraries of Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets, fixes Daedalus auto-update feature to resolve issue when running Daedalus on Linux with “AppArmor” enabled. Cryptocurrency users should keep in mind that Daedalus remains a full-node desktop-only wallet. In this regard, “mobile Daedalus” would be a scam attempting to steal user seed phrases and ADA.
By stake, Intersect shares that the Cardano ecosystem has now reached 80% of SPOs on 9.1.0, implying that the hard fork threshold for SPOs has been reached. Regarding exchanges, 12 have signaled readiness, while 19 remain underway — major players include Binance and Crypto.com. For dApps, the first one to confirm its readiness for Chang hard fork has also been recorded.
