The Cardano Voltaire governance phase is officially live. This stage marks the beginning of a fully community-driven era for the blockchain.

In simple terms, Voltaire has achieved several key milestones: first, it has established a true community financial system, with the treasury assets exceeding $1.5 billion, and the use of these funds is controlled by the community; second, it introduced a delegated voting mechanism, allowing token holders to participate in on-chain decision-making through representatives; third, all proposals are directly published on the chain, achieving complete transparency and decentralization.

In terms of implementation results, the first round of funding programs has already been launched, with 287 projects receiving support, totaling $120 million. These funds have been allocated across various aspects of ecosystem development, from development tools to application innovation and community building. This mechanism turns resource allocation into a truly community-driven process, rather than being dictated by a centralized entity.

15 billion in the national treasury, can they really come up with that? Feels like just paper wealth. --- 287 projects share 120 million... on average, not much money per project. What's the gameplay here? --- Whether this time truly decentralizes or just plays with concepts depends on how it's executed later. --- Delegated voting sounds good, but I'm worried about big players colluding to cut the leeks. --- Community autonomy sounds great, but in practice, it's probably those active members making decisions. --- National treasury assets of $1.5 billion? Where did all that ADA come from? --- Finally, a public chain really handing over power, but how long it can last is a question. --- Resources distributed by the community sound democratic, but in reality, the wealthy have more say. --- If Voltaire can really be implemented, that would be impressive, but I remain cautious. --- $120 million in funding... probably just a drop in the bucket for the entire ecosystem development.

Cardano is finally serious this time, truly returning power to the community. With 1.5 billion in the treasury and 287 projects eligible for funding, this is what decentralization really looks like. But to be fair, is the voting mechanism reliable? Could it still be dominated by big players? Voltaire definitely has some substance this time, with maximum transparency. Spending $120 million on the ecosystem—are they genuinely committed to action or just another fundraising stunt?

1.5 billion in the national treasury, so impressive? Damn, ADA is really doing something serious. --- 287 projects suddenly all active, community governance is for real this time. --- People used to say Cardano was too slow, but now that Voltaire is coming into fruition, it doesn't seem too bad. --- $120 million invested, now it depends on whether the ecosystem can keep up. --- Maximum transparency, but the key still depends on whether the community votes will cause internal conflicts again. --- The treasury assets are in the hands of the community... Feels like a big vault, can it really be managed well? --- From Shelley to Voltaire, Cardano's layout is indeed quite thoughtful. --- Funding programs are underway, let's wait half a year to see the results, hopefully not just on paper.
