#Cardano is free! The hard fork Plomin marks the beginning of the era of total decentralization
Cardano, the popular layer 1 blockchain, has taken a giant step toward total decentralization. With the recent activation of the hard fork Plomin, holders of #ADA now have the power to make crucial decisions about the future of the network. This milestone marks the beginning of a new era for Cardano, where the community will have total control over the parameters, finances, and evolution of the blockchain.
"Tonight, Cardano evolves. The hard fork Plomin comes into effect, marking the transition to a fully decentralized governance," published the Cardano Foundation.
"ADA holders gain real voting power over parameter changes, treasury withdrawals, hard forks, and the future of the blockchain, a milestone in blockchain governance."
Last Friday, the enactment of the hard fork Plomin was officially approved after reaching the three required thresholds for such action during the provisional governance period of the network.
The results showed that at least 85% of the stake pools had upgraded to a version of the Cardano node capable of processing the new protocol rules.
Secondly, more than 51% of stake pool operators (SPO) voted in favor of the update.
Additionally, more than 67% of the Provisional Constitutional Committee (ICC) determined that the hard fork was constitutional, paving the way for the blockchain's transition to decentralized governance.
