Cardano is advancing its decentralization efforts by transferring control of its core blockchain infrastructure to external teams. Input Output, the developer behind Cardano, announced that this move will reduce the network’s reliance on the company. The transition involves key components such as Cardano’s Haskell node, Plutus smart contract platform, Daedalus wallet, Hydra scaling technology, and developer relations.
The handover, set to begin in August and continue through 2027, will involve specialized firms like Se7en Labs and Teragone. Se7en Labs focuses on Solana blockchain infrastructure, while Teragone specializes in software development and cryptography research, leading the development of Mithril, Cardano’s stake-based signature protocol. This step follows Cardano’s previous transfer of protocol decision-making and governance to its community, marking a significant phase in its decentralization process.
