Cardano’s vote to seat four newly elected Constitutional Committee members must clear a Sept. 1 deadline, with DRep support at 43.04% versus a 67% approval threshold and SPO support at 15.32% against a required 51%. If the vote fails, the committee could shrink from seven active members to three, below Cardano’s five-member minimum, limiting its ability to approve governance actions while leaving block production and transaction processing unaffected. The shortfall could delay the Constitution Update required for the planned Leios scalability upgrade and the broader Dijkstra-era rollout, which is expected to introduce Leios on mainnet in a first phase and Peras in a second. The situation reflects broader concerns about low participation in blockchain governance, while Solana has separately faced validator proxy-voting conflicts and uncertainty over passage thresholds.
