Overview
AdaStat Governance Actions is a free tracker for the proposals a blockchain community votes on, showing what each one asks for and how its vote stands1. You scan one table to see which proposals are open, which passed and which ran out of time, then open any of them to see exactly who voted and how1,2. It suits ADA holders following a vote, voting representatives, and researchers studying how decisions get made.
The page is part of AdaStat, a Cardano explorer (a website for looking up records stored on the blockchain) built by members of the Russian-speaking Cardano community as an independent alternative to explorers from the network's developers3. On Cardano these proposals are called governance actions. They can ask to pay out treasury funds, change network settings, adopt a new constitution or start a hard fork, a network-wide upgrade, as set out in CIP-1694, the Cardano Improvement Proposal that set up on-chain governance4. Three groups review them: DReps (delegated representatives that ADA holders choose), stake pool operators (the people who run the computers that produce new blocks), and the Constitutional Committee, which checks that proposals follow the Cardano constitution5.
Key Features
- Proposal standings in one table. Each row shows the title, type and status, the Constitutional Committee's verdict, the yes and no shares of DRep and stake pool votes, and the epochs (Cardano's fixed time periods) when voting opens and closes1.
- Narrow the list to what you care about. A filter picks one proposal type, such as treasury withdrawals, parameter changes or info actions (proposals that change nothing but leave a record on chain)4, and you can sort by total yes, no or abstain votes, by voting start or by deadline1.
- A full vote breakdown for each proposal. A proposal's own page shows the deposit paid to submit it, how each Constitutional Committee member voted beside the committee's approval threshold, and how DRep stake split between Yes, No, No confidence and Not voted2.
- See who voted and why. The voter list on each proposal filters by role and by vote, and shows each voter's voting power, the transaction that cast the vote, and a link to the voter's published reasoning when one exists2.
- Code anyone can read. AdaStat publishes the explorer's code, including the governance views, on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 open-source license6,7.
What to Expect
The page opens with counters for total, active and ratified proposals, followed by the main table1. You can show 12, 24, 48 or 96 rows at a time, and a small note shows how long ago the data last refreshed1. The page is available in English, German, Russian and Ukrainian1.
Clicking a proposal opens its own page. It shows the transaction that submitted the proposal, the voting window, and the raw contents of the action, such as the exact setting a parameter change would set2. When an action type does not let a group vote, the page says so; stake pool operators, for example, vote on parameter changes only when they touch settings tied to network security2,4. Separate Votes and Metadata tabs sit below the summary2.
AdaStat Governance Actions shares a menu with the rest of the explorer, including a DRep list, polls, and pages for stake pools, blocks and transactions1. For other ways to look up chain records, see block explorers and DRep explorers.
AdaStat says it has no income apart from its own stake pool, STAT, which ADA holders can delegate to3. The team also completed a Project Catalyst Fund 11 grant, from Cardano's community funding program, to rebuild AdaStat as an open-source community explorer8.
