The development roadmap

This year has seen significant and rapid progress. Since the publication of CIP-1694 in November 2022, the Cardano community has hosted over 50 governance workshops across 24 countries, engaging over 1,000 individuals and entities to learn, network, and build towards an inclusive and sustainable governance system. You can read more on the engagement and progress made, and importantly what the future milestones are in 2024.
