A Historic Global Effort: The convention, taking place across two locations – Nairobi and Buenos Aires – is the culmination of over two years of development, 65 workshops in 50+ countries, and contributions from more than 2,000 community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf A Decentralized Future: Over 120 elected delegates and alternates will seek to finalize and approve the Cardano Constitution, which will subsequently be ratified through on-chain voting by ADA holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Empowering Local Talent: Cardano\u2019s focus on Africa highlights the continent\u2019s role as a leader in decentralized innovation and financial inclusion. A third of the delegates elected to participate in the constitutional process will be in attendance in Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Unlocking Resources: The governance framework will unlock a treasury worth billions to fund future development and technical enhancements that will benefit and advance Cardano\u2019s mission and growth around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nairobi, Kenya, December 4-6, 2024 \u2013 Intersect, a member-based organization for the Cardano ecosystem, and in close collaboration with Input Output, a leading blockchain infrastructure research and engineering firm, announced the start of the Cardano Constitutional Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This landmark three day event takes place across two locations\u2014Nairobi and Buenos Aires\u2014with elected delegates from around the world gathering to shape the future of Cardano, a blockchain renowned for its scalability, sustainability, and interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The convention marks a pivotal moment for the Cardano ecosystem, which aims to establish the foundational governance principles for the blockchain. By approving a constitution through a decentralized, community-driven process, the convention underscores Cardano\u2019s commitment to fostering inclusivity and decentralized science (DeSci) initiatives empowering its users with the decision-making authority to drive it forward. The event also highlights Cardano\u2019s leadership in blockchain innovation and its dedication to empowering local talent and communities to have a say in their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Africa’s Major Role in Cardano’s Future<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selecting Nairobi as a host city underlines the immense importance of Africa\u2019s role in Cardano\u2019s mission, with one fifth of the convention\u2019s 120 delegates hailing from the continent. These representatives were selected from over 1,200 participants across more than 60 workshops held in 50 countries. This inclusive approach ensures that voices from regions most poised to benefit from blockchain technology play a key role in shaping Cardano\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNearly a decade ago, we embarked on a journey to build Cardano. What began as a bold experiment has grown into a global movement\u2014reshaping industries and empowering communities worldwide,\u201d said Charles Hoskinson, Co-Founder of Cardano and CEO of Input Output. \u201cI’ve always emphasized that we’re not just building a blockchain; we’re creating a resilient and inclusive system that can fundamentally change how the world views governance, finance, and society. This vision is now coming to life at the Cardano Constitutional Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfrica stands to gain immensely from Cardano\u2019s potential to transform lives, promote financial inclusion, and create a more equitable future,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHosting part of the Constitutional Convention in Nairobi is a reflection of how important this region is to us, and a testament to the incredible talent and commitment within the African Cardano community, \u201c said Jack Briggs, Intersect Ecosystem Director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
