In a significant development for the <a href="https://u.today/cardano-ada-ecosystem-might-benefit-from-this-new-move-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano ecosystem</a>, Cardano has welcomed the release of a major wallet update just ahead of the highly anticipated Chang hard fork. This wallet release marks a crucial step as Cardano prepares for one of its most transformative upgrades.
The latest wallet update introduces the feature required for the much-anticipated Chang upgrade.
In a recent tweet, Cardano developer Input Output Global (IOG) announced that <a href="https://x.com/InputOutputHK/status/1825842355028607064" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Daedalus</a> version 6.0.0 has been released for mainnet, pre-prod and preview. Daedalus 6.0.0 is a mainnet release required to cross the upcoming Chang hard fork and operate in the Conway era, thus, it might be necessary for all Daedalus users to upgrade to this version.
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
This version upgrades to node 9.1.0, Cardano wallet v2024-07-27, the dependent Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet libraries, fixes the Daedalus auto-update feature to resolve the issue when running Daedalus on Linux with enabled "AppArmor."
Crypto users should bear in mind that Daedalus remains a full-node wallet for desktops only. In this regard, a "mobile Daedalus" would be a scam trying to steal user seed phrases and ADA.
