Cardano's protocol and governance are already decentralized. Now its engineering is too. “The last stage of the Voltaire era is full decentralization of node and reference blueprint development. Since 2024, IOG and its partners have carefully managed a process that will conclude in 2027 and will result in several independent firms maintaining at least three Cardano implementations in Haskell, Rust, and Go, alongside a complete set of formal specifications supervised by MBOs like Intersect and Pragma, and subject to community review and vote. I'm extremely proud that we have arrived at the final stage with IO Labs spinning out the Haskell Node to community curation and control. Our partners are ready, and the ecosystem now has many diverse options.” @IOHK_Charles
