What to Expect After Cardano’s New Upgrade

Cardano has taken a major step toward decentralization with the activation of the Plomin hard fork.

This update shifts governance power from its founding entities—Cardano Foundation, Input Output (IO), and Emurgo—to Delegate Representatives (dReps), who will now vote on behalf of ADA holders.

The transition gives the community greater influence over the network’s future.

Cardano aims to support billions of users by 2030 while maintaining decentralization and security. To improve scalability, it is integrating Hydra state channels, rollups, Ouroboros Leios, Mithril certificates, and infrastructure upgrades. These advancements will allow for higher transaction volumes and greater efficiency.
