In a recent appearance on social media, Carlos Hoskinson, the visionary behind Cardano, addressed the clamor surrounding CIP-69. His goal is to streamline the development process on the Cardano (ADA) blockchain by unifying arguments for all types of Plutus scripts currently available.
Recognizing the growing demand within the community, Hoskinson revealed discussions between development teams, indicating the possible inclusion of CIP-69 in the upcoming Chang Hard Fork.
Despite the apparent enthusiasm of the community and the support of the Cardano Foundation, Hoskinson offered a note of caution. She emphasized the inherent risks associated with off-roadmap modifications, and emphasized the need for careful consideration to minimize potential disruptions. However, she assured stakeholders that development teams are committed to integrating CIP-69 into Chang Hard Fork without significant delays.
Scheduled for this year, the hard fork marks a major milestone in Cardano’s evolution towards decentralized governance. It introduces minimum viable community governance to the Cardano blockchain, paving the way for a community consensus on the chain governed by a constitution.
New constitution for Cardano
Beyond Chang, Hoskinson’s statement outlined broader implications for Cardano’s governance structure. With the advent of the Voltaire era, characterized by community-driven decision-making, the roadmap construction and ratification process will undergo a comprehensive review through CIP-1694.
This proposal serves as a cornerstone to shape Cardano’s governance framework. It sets the stage for the establishment of key governing bodies and the constitution of the blockchain, heralding a new era of decentralized Cardano governance.
While the transition to community-driven governance represents a critical step forward, Hoskinson stressed the gradual nature of the process. Not all decisions will immediately fall under the purview of the community, and the evolution of Cardano’s governance mechanism will develop incrementally.
