This repair is especially crucial for guaranteeing that Daedalus functions seamlessly across a variety of systems and configurations.
In order to proceed with the forthcoming Chang hard fork and function properly, all Daedalus users are required to upgrade to version 6.0.0.

Furthermore, twelve exchanges have verified their preparedness for the hard fork, while nineteen are still in the process of preparing, including prominent platforms such as Binance and Crypto.com. The initial dApp has also verified its compatibility with the Chang hard fork.
