- The Chang Hard Fork introduces on-chain governance, marking a significant shift towards community-led decision-making for Cardano.
- With Cardano’s upgrade delayed to allow exchanges time to prepare, the blockchain continues to draw attention for its unique governance features and founder Charles Hoskinson’s influence.
Following the announcement by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson of a $1 million bug bounty challenge ahead of the Chang Hard Fork, as revealed in a recent CNF update, the new Cardano update, known as the “Chang Hard Fork,” is set to introduce on-chain governance, allowing users to take a more active role in the network’s decision-making processes.
According to peer-reviewed academic research, Cardano has an ethos of openness and transparency. Initially scheduled for this week, the upgrade has been postponed to September 1st to give exchanges like Binance time to prepare their systems. Hoskinson humorously noted on X:
The magic of deadlines is that people who aren’t taking upgrades seriously suddenly say damn, we got to get moving.

It looks like Binance and a few others need more time to get their houses in order, so the rocket is going to wait on…

In addition, according to the Cardano Foundation, this upgrade represents “the first step towards a minimum-viable community-run governance structure.” Cardano, currently the 30th largest blockchain according to DeFiLlama, continues to attract attention in the crypto community, partly due to Hoskinson’s prominent public presence.
He co-founded Ethereum together with Vitalik Buterin in 2014 but left the project shortly after, later establishing Cardano as a unique player in the blockchain space. at the time of writing, Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.3619, having surged by 1.11% in the past day but declined by 2.71% in the past week.
