Cardano launches core governance tool

Intersect, a member-based organization for the Cardano ecosystem, has announced the release of a new tool for the Cardano community: Cardano GovTool, which is now available on the Cardano mainnet. This core governance tool is a big step forward for Cardano’s decentralized governance system, as it is designed to fit with the governance architecture outlined in CIP-1694.

This release represents a significant milestone for the Cardano ecosystem. ADA holders have now officially been handed over the governance of Cardano, and they can now determine the future of the platform.

According to Intersect, in the first 96 hours that the Cardano GovTool was live, the Cardano network observed a rise of 1,586 unique delegators, 1,765 total vote delegations, 49 total DRep votes and 115 total DRep registrations.

Cardano successfully initiated the Chang 1 upgrade on Sept. 1.
