EMURGO, a founding entity of the Cardano blockchain, has recently reflected on the achievements of 2023 and unveiled a roadmap for the ecosystem in 2024.
With a focus on sustainable community governance, technical advancements, interoperability, and ecosystem expansion, Cardano aims to improve its position in terms of decentralized applications (DApps) and real-world Web3 solutions in 2024.
Cardano Roadmap Unveiled
As EMURGO highlights in its roadmap, in 2023, Cardano took steps toward establishing sustainable community governance through initiatives such as CIP1694 and the launch of Intersect, a member-based organization.
According to the founding entity, these developments laid the foundation for the blockchain’s minimum-viable community-run government.
With a vision of 2024, the upcoming Chang hard fork, which will be implemented by community consensus, will begin the “bootstrapping phase” of Cardano’s governance model.
In particular, Delegate Representatives (DReps) will play a critical role as elected voting representatives of the community, participating in decision-making processes regarding the network.
Moreover, in 2024, Cardano plans to take further strides towards achieving full community governance, known as Voltaire. This involves organizing Cardano constitution workshops, conventions, and voting events throughout the year.
These activities aim to “empower” the community by providing opportunities for active participation and decision-making in shaping the future of the ecosystem. EMURGO expects the progress made by Intersect to contribute significantly to the realization of full community governance.
