#CardanoDebate

The Cardano Senate is a governance body introduced as part of Cardano’s move toward full decentralization. It is designed to represent the interests of the Cardano community in the new on-chain governance system, coming with the Voltaire phase. Comprising elected representatives from the Cardano ecosystem—such as developers, stake pool operators, and community leaders—the Senate helps shape proposals, review policy changes, and ensure that governance decisions align with Cardano’s long-term vision. It plays a crucial advisory and oversight role, acting as a voice for the broader community and helping manage the blockchain’s evolution in a decentralized, democratic manner.
