Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Reveals Next Steps for ADA Governance
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, explained the plans for the Cardano blockchain governance. He pointed out that the deployment of decentralized representatives (dReps) will significantly shift the control of the treasury even without a complete constitution. This is expected to happen within 90 days after the significant Cardano update, referred to as the Chang hard fork.
Cardano Enhances Community Voice in Governance
The adoption of decentralized governance mechanisms via CIP-1694, launched in November 2022, was a significant shift for the Cardano network. This framework ensures the involvement of all ADA stakeholders in the governance process. Furthermore, it creates a well-coordinated system where three main entities – Delegated Representatives (DRePs), Constitutional Committee (CC), and Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) – are involved. These entities together come to a consensus on the governance actions suggested by the community.
The Chang hard fork is significant as the network transitions to this model in the future. Hoskinson stated,
“With the deployment of dReps, we are entering a new era where the voice of the community plays a substantial role in our direction.”
This emphasizes community-driven governance that aims to be accessible and equitable.

Consistency is important during the transitional period. The bootstrapping phase is vital as it enables the on-chain governance entities to prepare for their responsibilities. This technical phase includes off-chain measures that will lead to the constitution being ratified on-chain in the future.
This process involves onboarding DReps on the mainnet, which is a precursor to the full implementation of governance in the second phase of the Chang Upgrade. This systematic approach allows each community segment to optimally adapt to the new governance model.
The CEO of NMKR, Patrick Tobler, recently noted that ADA stakeholders actively participated in the community’s interim Constitutional Committee election. In response to this, Charles Hoskinson emphasized the role of community involvement in determining the direction of Cardano. He noted, “The success of our project depends on the contribution of every Cardano holder,” noting that community feedback is paramount to fine-tuning the governance structure.
