Inside Cardano's 'Van Rossum' hard fork, and what it means for users

60-second summary

Cardano is implementing the 'Van Rossum' hard fork, upgrading to version 11 on Saturday, marking a significant shift in governance.

This change empowers users, potentially increasing decentralization and community involvement, which could have a positive impact on the network's adoption and overall value.
