Charles Hoskinson responds to criticism of Cardano’s governance
Cardano got criticized for its governance proposal, questioning its “decentralization.” Vanessa Harris, a web3 advisor, claimed that Cardano’s governance is not centralized. In a recent Twitter thread, she stated that Input-Output Global (IOG), the developers of Cardano, will dominate a large part of the project’s governance.
The dominance of IOG and the subsequent lack of decentralization would occur due to the CIP-1694 proposal. The proposal puts the control in the hands of Cardano’s Constitutional Committee, which comprises insiders from IOG. These insiders would veto any governance action, except motions of no confidence and calls for a new committee.
Vanessa believes replacing the committee would be difficult, and a no-confidence vote would require a large majority of representatives. ADA stakers would not be able to participate in the governance affairs of Cardano.
The stakers who become Delegated Representatives would be able to participate in Cardano’s governance.
This is going to be a mega thread on Cardano governance.
