Node 11.1.3 becomes the recommended SPO release as CAP-12 opens for review

Intersect
Member based organization

Cardano node 11.1.3 corrects an IPv4 decoding issue introduced in 11.1.2, and 11.2 is expected to carry the new block format and Plutus V4 context without Leios once its pre-release lands. CAP-12 adds every new Dijkstra protocol parameter to the Constitution in three steps, with guardrails and an SPO vote for security-critical settings, and the technical steering committee is recruiting two funded CIP editors.

Node 11.2 lines up Dijkstra as the CAP Portal opens wallet connect

Cardano Node 11.2 should carry the new block format and Plutus V4 context but not Leios, and it is not a hard fork-ready release, so tooling teams are asked to assess breaking APIs early. The Parameter Committee is reviewing roughly 100 new Dijkstra guardrails plus about 50 for Peras, wallet vendors are being briefed on BLS key changes, and the Civics Committee rebuilt its knowledge base around six completed objectives.

Cardano node 11.1.2 releases as Go node validates mainnet blocks

Intersect
Member based organization

Intersect released cardano-node 11.1.2, which supersedes 11.1.1 and asks SPOs to prioritize the upgrade alongside mithril-signer 1.1.9. The Dingo Go node validated mainnet blocks, a milestone for node diversity, while the Board Election entered its final week with eleven candidates competing for two seats. The Constitutional Amendment Portal holds seven proposals in consultation, and three governance actions remain live, including the OpenZeppelin Stack treasury withdrawal and the minPoolCost parameter change.

Dijkstra node 11.1.1 pre-releases as GovTool finds new maintainer

Intersect
Member based organization

Intersect pre-released cardano-node 11.1.1 with Dijkstra preparations advancing across the ecosystem, including a readiness tracker and upcoming DijkstraNet testnet. GovTool found a new maintainer in Sireto, led by original builder Sandip Pandey, ensuring the governance tool stays open source and actively maintained. The Board Election confirmed eleven candidates for two member-elected seats, and the newly enacted Constitutional Committee began its term.

Dijkstra roadmap details hard fork windows as CC update ratifies

Intersect
Member based organization

Intersect detailed the Dijkstra era node roadmap, placing potential hard fork enactment between December 5 and January 4 with a high-confidence window from February 24 to March 26. The Constitutional Committee update ratified with 71.95% DRep and 56.54% SPO support, and the newly elected committee takes seats without a gap in oversight. The Board Election opened applications for two member-elected seats, and the Constitutional Amendment Portal added threaded discussions, a drafts area, and co-author crediting.

The Constitutional Amendment Portal: giving Cardano's Constitution a way to grow

Intersect
Member based organization

The Constitutional Amendment Portal is live for alpha testing at cap.intersectmbo.org, giving the community a structured home for proposing and refining changes to the Cardano Constitution. Users can highlight a precise passage of the Constitution, submit a Constitutional Amendment Proposal or raise an issue, and follow each proposal through its lifecycle. Wallet connection uses a stake address as identity, with no account, email, or password required.

Lowering minPoolCost and completing smart contract capacity increases

Intersect
Member based organization

The Intersect Parameter Committee submitted a parameter update governance action combining a minPoolCost reduction from 170 to 75 ada with the second part of a 25% increase to Plutus memory limits. Ratification requires support from both DReps and stake pool operators. The lower fixed fee gives small pools breathing room as block rewards decline, while the completed memory increase eases contract deployment for developers.

Constitutional Committee Election 2026: Real Talk with the Candidates

Cardano Community
Individuals interested in or actively supporting the Cardano blockchain

A Cardano Community roundtable hosted three Constitutional Committee candidates to discuss what serving on the Committee involves as the 2026 election gets underway. Moderated by the Cardano Foundation governance lead, the session moved past a traditional candidate introduction to examine the practical realities of the role, including workload, transparency, constitutional interpretation, collaboration, and Committee fatigue. Candidates also addressed whether the current incentive model is sufficient to sustain long-term participation, giving DReps and observers a fuller view of the responsibilities and challenges ahead of the vote.

Input Output Global
Global IO holding

Input Output outlined a small, purely technical Constitution update ahead of the Dijkstra era, adding the new protocol parameters introduced by the hard fork to the Guardrails so they remain governable from day one. The proposal is strictly limited to the new parameters and their Guardrail ranges, with no changes to tenets, roles, or thresholds. DReps would ratify the change and the Constitutional Committee confirm its constitutionality, with submission targeted before epoch 655.

Why Intersect facilitates an election process to confirm a new Constitutional Committee

Intersect
Member based organization

Intersect is facilitating the election process for Cardano’s Constitutional Committee to fulfill a critical "unowned function" required by Section 3.2 of the Cardano Constitution. Because a fair election requires a structurally neutral administrator, Intersect has stepped in as a non-partisan steward rather than a participant, leveraging its established institutional knowledge in managing member-driven governance. This independent, non-commercial coordination ensures that the committee can be updated efficiently without stalling Cardano's overall governance framework.
