Cardano’s Plomin Hard Fork to Empower ADA Holders with Voting Rights

• Plomin Hard Fork by Cardano is slated for 2025-01-29 and will enable the ADA holders to have real voting influence over the future of the ecosystem.
• Cardano’s network upgrade will be supported by Binance, it has announced that it will suspend ADA deposit and withdrawal services while trading will continue.
• Recent price reductions still make ADA a valuable cryptocurrency – it may reach $7.50 by mid-2025, experts say.

Cardano is preparing the stage for the much-awaited Plomin Hard Fork to be deployed later today as it pushes the blockchain governance model to new heights. Scheduled for 2025-01-29 at 21:At 45 UTC, this hard fork will enable ADA holders to vote on important matters within the ecosystem directly. These changes will allow the community to have actual influence on certain aspects of the project, including parameters, treasury, and future product development.

Governing ADA Holders to Have Control

The upcoming Plomin Hard Fork will be a significant step in the governance of Cardano because ADA holders will at last become active stakeholders instead of just observers. Some of the features that will be open for a vote include changes to the protocol, management of funds from the blockchain’s treasury, and endorsement of new hard forks. This transition is intended to increase the decentralization of Cardano, which will enable the community actively to influence the future of the blockchain.

The plan to go ahead with the fork was voted on last week and passed with a huge majority, attaining 66.67% of the total vote. Notably, the Eastern Cardano Council abstained from voting during this process. Despite this, the hard fork was deemed constitutional and passed. This shift is seen as crucial for fostering further community engagement and improving the overall governance model within the Cardano ecosystem.

Binance to Support Cardano Network Upgrade

In line with this upgrade, Binance has confirmed it will support the Plomin Hard Fork. The platform announced it will temporarily suspend ADA deposits and withdrawals starting at 20:45 UTC on 2025-01-29. Binance aims to ensure a smooth transition for its users, with deposit and withdrawal services expected to resume once the network upgrade is complete and stable. Importantly, trading on the ADA network will continue without disruption during this period.

Despite the positive developments surrounding the Plomin Hard Fork, ADA has been facing price challenges. In the last 24 hours, ADA has been down by 3.12%, and in the last 7 days, ADA was down by 7.98%. Nonetheless, it has been performing relatively well, and the coin has surged by only 7.11% in the past one month. It is therefore argued that as the Cardano network and its ADA token continue to grow, including through further developments within the network and increasing uptake of the ADA token, the price of ADA is likely to soar. Forecasts are that ADA may even rise to $7.50 by July 2025 because of the ongoing developments and the improvement of the liquidity of the ADA token.
