Cardano Foundation Shifts 220M ADA to Community DReps, Trimming Its Voting Power

The change elevates subject‑matter experts in Adoption/Operations with no voting guidance from the delegator.

Overview

  • The Foundation delegated 220 million ADA to 11 DReps, allocating roughly 20 million ADA to each representative.
  • These delegates were chosen to emphasize Adoption and Operations expertise to broaden input beyond technical development.
  • Total community-directed delegation now stands at 360 million ADA under the updated governance roadmap.
  • Approximately 171 million ADA was self-delegated to keep stake active instead of leaving it on auto-abstain.
  • The shift reduces the Foundation’s net voting power by about 43 million ADA, with all eleven delegations executed in a single on-chain transaction effective immediately.
