CHANG BANG! Cardano just got more decentralized!
September 16, 2024

Hello Vista Pioneers!

We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the Cardano network: the successful implementation of the Chang Hard Fork! This marks the beginning of the Voltaire phase, ushering in an era of on-chain governance and community-driven initiatives.

What is On-Chain Governance?

On-chain governance is a system where governance decisions are embedded directly into the blockchain protocol. This approach enables ADA holders to propose, vote on, and implement changes without relying on a central authority. It’s designed to make the governance process more transparent, efficient, and equitable!

Impact on the Cardano Community

The adoption of on-chain governance through the Chang Hard Fork empowers every member of the Cardano community. It allows ADA holders to actively participate in the decision-making process that shapes the future of the network. This is crucial for fostering a robust, secure, and evolving ecosystem where community consensus drives innovation and growth.

By implementing this model, Cardano is setting a standard for how decentralized networks can operate with a governance system that is as secure and democratic as the technology underlying it. Community-driven governance not only enhances stakeholder engagement but also ensures that the network remains adaptive to the needs of its users and resistant to central points of failure or control.

Cardano Ecosystem

Embracing the Era of DReps With the Chang Hard Fork, we are excited to welcome the era of Delegate Representatives (DReps), which promises to enhance community participation and decentralized decision-making within the Cardano ecosystem. This new governance framework aligns perfectly with our vision of a community-run network. Learn more about DReps and their role.

Looking Ahead

Cardano Summit and Catalyst Fund 13 The Cardano Summit is on the horizon, promising to bring together thought leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts from across the globe. Additionally, we are eagerly anticipating the announcement of Catalyst Fund 13, which continues to drive community-led innovation and funding. Stay tuned for updates on both these exciting events!

With such great news on the horizon, we at the Vista Foundation are more inspired than ever. The achievements in governance through the Chang Hard Fork not only propel us forward but also reaffirm our commitment to a decentralized future. As we continue to innovate and expand our reach, we invite each of you to stay engaged, participate actively, and help us shape a network that truly belongs to its community. Here’s to a future where together, we explore new possibilities and achieve remarkable milestones in blockchain governance.

Best regards,
The Vista Foundation Team
