Cardano Shifts Governance To ICC And Reveals Readiness For Chang Hard Fork

Cardano Foundation has unveiled its new governance role as Cardano to become more decentralized following the Chang hard fork, a major upgrade to the Cardano blockchain. The proposed governance model will foster a robust and transparent governance framework, ensuring the long-term success and integrity of the Cardano ecosystem.

Cardano Foundation’s Governance Action Amid Chang Upgrade

In an official announcement on June 27, Cardano Foundation reveals its role in the Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) and participation in the ICC election. With Cardano’s governance going decentralized after the Chang hard fork, a governance model is proposed to make key decisions for the ecosystem.

“The proposed governance model will ensure inclusivity and diversity while providing checks and balances through delegate representatives (DReps), stake pool operators (SPOs), and a constitutional committee,” said the foundation.

Three governance action types — parameter changes, hard fork initiations, and info action — will be available during the boostrapping phase between the Chang 1 and Chang 2 upgrades. The Cardano Foundation will help ensure stability in the network by becoming an Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) member and voting in the ICC election.

The ICC will have the authority to approve protocol parameter changes independently and work with SPOs on hard forks. Moreover, the ICC will manage governance actions, ensure transparency and fairness, support initial governance structures, and guide the transition to a fully established Constitutional Committee.

Cardano Foundation’s Voting Decision

The foundation has voted in the ICC election and revealed candidates based on multiple factors. These include engagement with the Cardano community, transparency, technical expertise, and commitment to Cardano.

The ranking candidates are Cardano Atlantic Council, Eastern Cardano Council, Lloyd Duhon, Johnny Kelly, Cardano Japan, and Joshua Stone.

The Cardano Foundation revealed that it voted with 20 million ADA and maintained transparency throughout the process. The stake can be tracked through pool.pm.
