Cardano Welcomes New Releases Ahead of Chang Upgrade Tomiwabold Olajide
Voltaire takes the remaining steps toward Cardano's self-sustainability through on-chain voting, off-chain mechanisms and institutions like Intersect, a member-driven organization. In the next quarters, the Cardano community may expect the Chang hard fork, which will introduce on-chain governance. After completion of the Chang hard fork, DReps, SPOs and the Constitutional Committee will govern all areas of the network via an on-chain voting and treasury system based on CIP-1694. This would transfer responsibility from the IOG, Cardano Foundation and EMURGO, which originally held all seven governance (genesis) keys.
