CIP 1694: An Explainer

CIP-1694 is a crucial step in Cardano's journey into the Age of Voltaire, defining the future on-chain governance mechanisms of the blockchain, and helping to create a self-sustaining system built on community contribution and consensus. But what does this actually mean?

Join Matthias Benkort (Cardano Foundation) along with Addie Girouard, Jared Corduan, & Kevin Hammond (IOG) for an overview and discussion of CIP-1694. In this conversation, they discuss community-driven enhancements to the current governance scheme, the future roles and responsibilities of Delegate Representatives, the Constitutional Committee, and Stake Pool Operators, how to define and safeguard Cardano's guiding principles, and the tooling and governance processes needed to get there. Take a deeper dive into CIP-1694 and find out how it provides new tools to further facilitate decentralized governance that allows for even bigger changes in the future.
