Cardano is entering a new phase of governance that gives every ADA holder a direct role in shaping the network. Through Delegated Representatives (DReps), the community can weigh in on proposals and decisions, balancing decentralization with the efficiency needed to keep Cardano moving forward.
In this article, we’ll explain what Cardano governance is, who DReps are, why delegating your voting power to Everstake DRep is a reliable choice, and how to do it step- by-step.
What is Cardano?
Cardano is steadily moving toward full on-chain governance with the introduction of Delegated Representatives (DReps). This system empowers ADA holders to influence the network’s direction without needing to review and vote on every single proposal themselves.
Instead, users can delegate their voting power to trusted DReps who follow governance activity closely, review proposals, participate in discussions, and cast votes on behalf of the community.
If you want your ADA to actively shape Cardano’s future, delegating to a reliable DRep is a powerful way to participate. By choosing the Everstake DRep, you entrust your voting power to an experienced team with a strong track record in securing and supporting decentralized networks.
What Are DReps in Cardano Governance?
DReps (Delegated Representatives) are individuals or organizations elected by the community to represent ADA holders in governance decisions. Every ADA holder has two options:
- Vote directly on each governance proposal.
- Delegate voting power to a DRep they trust.
This model ensures the process stays decentralized but also practical, since not every user has the expertise or time to study each proposal in detail.
