Cardano Prepares Major Upgrades That Could Reshape Its Future
Excitement is building within the Cardano community as the highly anticipated Chang 2 hard fork arrives with two significant upgrades.
Intersect, a Cardano ecosystem organization, recently revealed this week’s updates: a preproduction hard fork governance measure and a new governance update for the Daedalus wallet.
The preproduction hard fork is a critical step, introducing protocol version 10.0 and bringing a more complete governance model to the PreProd environment. According to Intersect, feedback from the first Chang upgrade highlighted the need for extended preproduction testing before proceeding with the mainnet hard fork.
The recent governance action seeks to address this by incorporating the updated PlutusV3 cost model, allowing new Plutus functions to be activated post-hardfork. For the change to go live on-chain, support from Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) and Intersect members (ICC) is essential.

Successfully recovered the Starship upper stage, SpaceX debuts “chopstick ship-clamp,” analyst: the most critical step supporting its trillion-dollar valuation
SpaceX has, for the first time, used the launch tower's mechanical arm to catch the Starship spacecraft mid-air, setting a precedent for orbital spacecraft recovery via tower mechanism in aerospace history. Bernstein analysts believe this is a key step supporting SpaceX's multitrillion-dollar valuation—full reusability will significantly reduce orbital costs, directly enhancing Starlink deployment efficiency and raising the commercial ceiling. Morgan Stanley warns that the market is underestimating the value of this mission, as it will significantly lower execution risks tied to commercial reuse and the expansion of AI-powered space computing capacity.
