The Chang 2 hard fork is expected to complete the transition of Cardano to the age of Voltaire. The latest release, Cardano Node 10.1.1, has been approved for mainnet usage and is necessary for the Chang 2 hard fork. The process to enact the upgrade will begin in November and requires five governance actions to be successfully enacted on-chain. During this bootstrap phase of governance, the Interim Constitution Committee and stake pool operators will vote, and the decision to upgrade will be based on meeting the required threshold. If the hard fork is ratified, it will be enacted five days later, bringing on Cardano's final governance features. The update also includes improvements to the governance system, Plutus primitives, and other aspects of the platform.
