Governance
An essential feature for Cardano
In order for the Cardano blockchain to continue to evolve in the future, governance for Cardano is a key feature on the roadmap for the Voltaire era (currently in progress). Governance on Cardano is extremely important, and it is something that all members of the Cardano community should engage with, as it will affect everyone who participates in the newtork.
Below you will find resources about Cardano governance, where you can go to participate, and completed governance actions and assessments by the GAIA team.
CIP-1964: The GOvernance Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP)
We’re heading into the age of Voltaire, laying down the foundations for decentralized decision-making. This CIP describes a mechanism for on-chain governance that will underpin the Voltaire phase of Cardano.
The CIP builds on and extends the original Cardano governance scheme that was based on a fixed number of governance keys. It aims to provide a first step that is both valuable and, importantly, is also technically achievable in the near term as part of the proposed Voltaire governance system.
It also seeks to act as a jumping-off point for continuing community input, including on appropriate threshold settings and other on-chain settings.
Subsequent proposals may adapt and extend this proposal to meet emerging governance needs.

Project Catalyst: Vote with your ADA
Project Catalyst is bringing on-chain governance to the Cardano blockchain by allowing the community to self-determine priorities for growth.
Project Catalyst is a part of the Voltaire Era, and Cardano’s community funding platform. ADA holders can vote on and assess proposals, while earning ADA for doing so. Community members can also submit projects themselves for funding.
GAIA Stake Pool and Frostlore Games successfuly secured funding through Project Catalyst for our first Cardano-themed tabletop card game, Captivate.
Fund 11 voter registration is currently open, and will close on Jan 15, 2024 at 21:45 UTC.
Users who have voted before will need to re-register in order to qualify for voter rewards
Cardano Foundation SPO VOTE:
Potential Changes to Parameters and Values
The Cardano Foundation wishes to make it easier for the Cardano community to have a say in the development of network updates, technical improvements, and the future of the ecosystem as a whole. Crucially, the Foundation looks to do so by offering a transparent, on-chain method.
The on-chain poll follows this approach, and indeed builds on the mechanism proposed by the Foundation in CIP-0094. The poll asked SPOs for their stake-weighted opinion on potential changes to parameters and values, giving the Foundation valuable insights into what the community needs as well as its preferences. It likewise applies action 7 of the governance actions detailed in CIP-1694.
Here are the results of the on-chain poll, recorded by adastat.io:
