New releases have been warmly received by the Cardano ecosystem as anticipation for the impending Chang hard fork grows.
The most recent weekly report from Input Output Global (IOG), which summarises the advancements and changes made in the Cardano ecosystem during the current week, including information on this development.
According to the source, the Cardano lightweight wallet Lace has launched version 1.10. It offers enhancements including a significantly easier onboarding user experience that takes less time for hard wallet onboarding, wallet construction, and recovery. A redesigned stake pool view, improved stacking views with sorting options, improved search, and a redesigned dApp-wallet interface are among the other updates.

Furthermore, Lace has resolved a problem that prevented certain users from accessing the staking centre following an update to Lace v1.10.
This week saw the release of Hydra v.0.16.0, which supports the Conway block format and Cardano node v.8.9.0. This week saw updates to the Plutus Tx compiler as well; version 1.26.0.0 is scheduled for release shortly.
Chang hard fork nears
Despite recent criticism of ADA and the Cardano ecosystem, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson began the week by expressing confidence about two significant enhancements to the Cardano network, at least one of which is scheduled for this year.
Change is imminent, based on SanchoNet’s success. The largest advancement in resolving the blockchain trilemma to date is Ouroboros Leios. We are currently at 209 articles with significantly quicker research translation as our research labs scale up,” Hoskinson tweeted on April 7.
The Chang hard fork is slated for the second quarter of this year and is thought to be one of the biggest hard forks on the Cardano network since the 2022 Vasil update. By giving ADA holders the ability to vote on ideas, the update is expected to significantly quicken Cardano’s decentralisation journey.
