Cardano reveals development update ahead of Voltaire age

In preparation for the arrival of the Voltaire age, the blockchain known as Cardano (ADA) has announced some recent ecosystem improvements.

Notable among the company’s accomplishments is the progress it has made in the age of the Conway ledger and the creation of CIP-1694.

The last stage of cardano’s evolution is called the Voltaire period, and its primary objective is to create an entirely decentralized decision-making system.

CIP-1694 is the first iteration of cardano’s on-chain governance, and the success of this initiative will primarily be determined by the degree to which the cardano community can reach a unanimous decision.
