Description
Maureen — a DRep and community and data lead on the Beyond Minimum Viable Governance team — joins Essential Cardano360 to discuss what Beyond MVG is learning about how Cardano's governance system is performing in practice. The project combines on-chain metrics with direct community input from DReps, SPOs, ada holders, and Constitutional Committee members to build an evidence-based picture of governance health — and to surface where the system is working and where it isn't.
Key topics covered:
- What Beyond MVG is: a research initiative measuring how CIP-1694's governance structures are behaving in reality
- How Milestone 1 established the governance measurement framework and defined what to measure
- What Milestone 2 revealed through surveys, interviews, and workshops with governance participants
- Emerging patterns: growing participation alongside increasing concentration of voting power
- Community feedback on the difficulty of navigating governance tooling, information, and role expectations
- The structural challenge of governance roles sustained primarily by goodwill
- What's ahead in Milestone 3: the first draft State of Governance report and action-oriented next steps
- How community members can contribute their experiences and engage with the project
