The founder's interaction with the historic achievement of ADA community governance
The Cardano (ADA) community has achieved a historic milestone. For the first time, the community directly approved funding for core development, heralding a new era of decentralized governance.
The upgrades by Chang and Blumen in Cardano have created a fully decentralized and self-sustaining network with community governance, empowering ADA holders.
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, interacted with this achievement, expressing his gratitude to the ADA community: "Thank you all for your support and trust. Let's get to work."

In a significant achievement, the proposal for the Input and Output Engineering Protocol (IOE) roadmap was approved for funding from the Cardano treasury after overwhelming community approval.
The Cardano community officially voted in favor of the IOE funding proposal (by 73.93%), representing a step forward in the community-led delivery journey and long-term protocol development.
With this step, the ADA community not only approved a set of technical upgrades but also agreed on a shared vision for the future of Cardano. The roadmap, crafted in alignment with community priorities and adopted earlier this year, outlines one of the most ambitious development phases in its history.
