The Daedalus 6.0.0 release includes an upgrade to node 9.1.0 and the Cardano wallet version v2024-07-27, along with updated Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet libraries. This version also addresses issues related to the auto-update feature for Linux users with "AppArmor" enabled. These updates ensure that users' wallets are fully equipped to handle the upcoming network changes.
<h3>Chang Hard Fork Nears Completion</h3>
According to Intersect, a key organization within the Cardano ecosystem, the Chang hard fork threshold has been reached, with 80% of Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) now running the necessary node version. This progress is a major indicator that the network is ready for the significant enhancements the hard fork will bring.
<h3>Exchange and dApp Preparedness</h3>
While some exchanges, including Binance, have already confirmed their readiness for the Chang hard fork, others are still in the process of preparation. The first decentralized application (dApp) has also announced its readiness, marking another important step in the ecosystem’s transition.
<h2>Security Reminder for Users</h2>
As a reminder, Daedalus is a full-node desktop wallet. Any mobile version claiming to be Daedalus is likely a scam designed to steal user seed phrases and ADA.

As the Chang hard fork approaches, it's crucial for users, exchanges, and dApps to ensure they are prepared to take full advantage of the benefits this upgrade will offer. The successful implementation of Daedalus 6.0.0 marks a significant moment in Cardano's evolution.
