On January 29, 2025, Cardano transitioned to full community governance with the Plomin hard fork, approved by stake pool operators and the interim constitutional committee. This historic event marks the first community-driven hard fork in blockchain history, stemming from CIP-1694 developed over two years with extensive community input. Ada holders can now propose and vote on governance actions directly or through delegated representatives (DReps). Post-Plomin, staking rewards continue as usual; however, withdrawing them requires delegation to a DRep or selecting a predefined option. This milestone signifies a new era of decentralized decision-making for Cardano.

All node users and operators are urged to upgrade to version 10.1.4 to prepare for the Plomin hard fork, with 85% of blocks already using this version. The Interim Constitutional Committee is reviewing the governance action, requiring a two-thirds majority by January 25. Additionally, Delegated Representatives (DReps) have been introduced on the community forum, alongside discussions regarding the network's minimum pool cost.

The January 6, 2025, Cardano Community Digest calls on SPOs to vote on the Plomin Hard Fork, which introduces Protocol Version 10 for governance and technical upgrades.
