This milestone, following the completion of CIP 1694, marks a pivotal moment in Cardano's journey towards enhanced governance capabilities under the age of Voltaire.
Hoskinson emphasised the upcoming governance changes and the community's role in decision-making processes.
Looking forward, he discussed the complexities of the Basho era, focusing on scalability and network optimization, highlighting upcoming milestones like Plutus V3 and Hydra.
