Cardano has officially ratified its groundbreaking new Constitution, a crucial milestone in its journey toward a fully decentralized governance model. The project's founder, Charles Hoskinson, shared the news in a video announcement, unveiling the final version of the Constitution that will replace the interim framework. This new structure sets the stage for a transparent, community-driven decision-making process, further solidifying Cardano's commitment to decentralization.
The ratification of the Constitution saw overwhelming support from the community, with an impressive 85% of participants voting in favor of the new governance framework. While a minority of 6.62% opposed the proposal, and 7.68% opted not to participate, the results show a clear consensus behind the direction Cardano is taking. Set to be fully enacted on February 23, 2025, this new governance model ensures that Cardano’s evolution will now be steered by its decentralized community rather than a central authority.
This achievement comes after two years of extensive collaboration, with over 1,800 contributors from more than 50 countries. Cardano’s ecosystem now includes over 800 stakeholders and more than 108,000 active delegators, making it a self-governing entity. Hoskinson confidently declared that this move renders Cardano "unstoppable" as governance decisions will be made by elected officials. Looking ahead, the project plans to focus on refining its roadmap, transitioning to a fully elected Constitutional Committee by September, and allocating its budget efficiently to support sustainable growth.
In addition to this milestone, Cardano's competitive edge continues to grow, with strategic partnerships such as BitcoinOS, the privacy-focused Midnight initiative, and the scaling solution Leios. Hoskinson emphasized that Cardano now has the largest governance layer in the crypto space, enabling it to crowdsource innovative ideas and integrate cutting-edge AI-driven strategies. With this major step towards decentralization, Cardano is poised to lead the way in blockchain governance and innovation.
