The new release, which was revealed by IOG today, Dec. 10, 2024, enables users to delegate their voting power to delegated representatives (DReps), as voting actors in Cardano’s (ADA) governance mechanism.
Also, with Daedalus v7.0.0, ADA wallets can choose an automatic voting option (abstain or no confidence), ensuring that the Daedalus community has a voice in crucial developments for Cardano (ADA).
Daedalus v7.0.0 build is now available in mainnet, pre-prod and preview iterations. The team of IOG reiterated that the ADA community should be ultra-cautious about Daedalus-related scams.
ADA community to vote on Cardano Constitution in January 2025
Namely, Cardanians should always keep in mind that Daedalus full node wallet is only available for desktops. All announcements regarding “mobile Daedalus” wallets and ADA delegation in them are blatant scams.
Also, in the new voting tab, users can select their registration preference for each wallet held in Daedalus. Existing users will get a prompt to update via the Daedalus newsfeed.
As covered by U.Today previously, Cardano (ADA) inches closer to the greatest referendum in years. In January 2025, the ADA community will approve or reject Cardano Constitution, an ambitious decentralization principles code.
In early December, Cardano’s Constitution draft was approved by a convention in Buenos Aires.
