According to Intersect, “This release signifies the completion of primary development work for the bootstrap phase of on-chain governance. This milestone marks the installation of the core elements of decentralized governance, rolled out across two distinct phases.” 
The Chang hard fork will introduce new governance features to the blockchain, such as a constitutional committee and delegate representatives. This will give Ada coin holders and stake pool operators a more direct role in governance, allowing for proposals and votes directly on the blockchain. 
This update follows earlier successful hard forks like <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2022/09/23/cardano-vasil-hard-fork-first-phase-completed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vasil</a> and <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2021/09/13/cardanos-new-upgrade-alonzo-hard-fork-is-now-live-on-mainnet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alonzo</a>, which improved network performance and smart contract functionality. The Chang hard fork is expected to be the final planned phase for Cardano, transitioning governance from Input-Output Hong Kong to the community. 
With a market cap of $14 billion, This new upgrade towards decentralized governance is drawing significant attention from the crypto space. The successful execution of the Chang hard fork could set a new benchmark for blockchain governance in the evolving digital asset space.
