The goal of this post is to provide further clarity to stakeholders. Approximately five years ago, a somewhat formal policy was introduced to provide clarity to the ecosystem with respect to protocol upgrades. The policy essentially outlined that consensus changes would be introduced every six months on a set schedule (whilst allowing for potential reduction in frequency in case of substantial ecosystem growth). Consistently, Monero has performed protocol upgrades regularly in the past to introduce new privacy features or strengthen existing ones. Additionally, various consensus changes such as adjusting the dynamic block size algorithm, improving verification performance, and reducing the size of the range proofs (with Bulletproofs) were introduced. An overview can found in table A1 in the appendix. These consensus improvements have allowed Monero to improve considerably. As a result, Monero today is completely different than it was in 2014. 大约五年前，引入了某种形式上政策，使生态系在协议升级方面更加清晰，其概述了将 按照固定的时间（约每六个月）进行一次共识变更。 For a brief amount of time (between April 2018 and March 2019), these consensus updates additionally included changes to the proof-of-work algorithm (so-called tweaks) to preserve ASIC-resistance. We note, however, that these tweaks were merely meant as a stopgap until a long-term algorithm could be implemented. RandomX currently fulfills this role and therefore no further changes to the mining algorithm are planned for the foreseeable future. 然而，我们发现直到有长期演算法实现为止，到这些（对抗asic的）调整仅是权宜之计。 因此在可预见的将来，RandomX仍继续被使用，且没有对演算法进一步更改的计划。 Over the last few years, the Monero ecosystem has grown substantially. Monero is supported by multiple third-party wallets, several hardware wallet providers, as well as a plethora of services and exchanges. As a result, maintaining a six-month schedule of protocol upgrades is increasingly difficult and effectively became untenable. Furthermore, continuing this upgrade pace may be detrimental to the ecosystem or inhibit its growth. The community now feels that the Monero project and protocol have matured sufficiently to warrant a slower frequency; there is loose consensus that balancing the needs of the ecosystem with expectations for consensus changes and feature updates will mean protocol upgrades occur at an interval of about nine to twelve months. Clear advance notice will be given to ecosystem participants to encourage and aid development, testing, and deployment. The aim is to maintain this policy and assess its viability periodically based on the growth of the ecosystem. 社群现在认为Monero协议已经足够成熟，因此可以降低（更新）频率。 这意味着末来协议升级的间隔大约为九至十二个月。 评论： 最近难度又上升许多，希望是更多「人」的加入而不是asic啊... 毕竟asic的能力越来越强，大概除了branch detection以外都可以用逻辑硬爆吧。 ps.7nn之後一颗晶片里的sram已经可以是2GB了，刚好符合现在所需求的暂存空间， -- simpleledger:qp4lega9mmrpuf6937d9h9y8fgd2evzrpg2esv37v8 --
