Cardano’s “Chang” hard fork has been successfully activated, marking a significant move towards decentralized governance. This upgrade empowers ADA holders by allowing them to vote on proposals and elect governance representatives.
The hard fork also marks the beginning of the Voltaire era, a phase focused on enhancing Cardano's governance and community control.
CIP-1694, introduced with this upgrade, transitions control from Cardano’s founding entities to community-led bodies such as the Constitutional Committee and Delegate Representatives.
