Overview
ADAtool Governance is a voting dashboard that shows how each group of voters decided on Cardano governance proposals, with a separate vote table for each group1. DReps, the representatives ADA holders choose to vote for them, can use it to review their own voting record. ADA holders can use it to see how the DRep they picked has voted, and which large voters could block a proposal1.
The page belongs to ADAtool, an independent website that turns public Cardano blockchain data into charts and tables, run as a non-commercial hobby project2. Its creator, Yuta, is credited at the bottom of the page1.
In Cardano governance, proposals called governance actions go to three groups: DReps, the Constitutional Committee (a small panel that checks proposals against Cardano's constitution), and stake pool operators, who run the computers that produce blocks3. Under CIP-1694, the rulebook that set up on-chain voting, each action needs approval from at least two of those three groups, depending on its type3. Intersect, a member organization for the Cardano community, has pointed voters to ADAtool's separate stake pool version tracker in its weekly updates4,5.
Key Features
- All three groups' votes in one view. On ADAtool Governance, each governance action has its own column showing approval percentages from DReps, the Constitutional Committee and stake pool operators, plus each DRep's Yes, No or Abstain vote1.
- Find the DReps that matter to you. Filters narrow the table by proposal type, such as treasury spending or parameter changes, and by DRep status. Each DRep row shows stake, delegator count, participation rate and how often a written reason was published1.
- Know who could block a proposal. A veto power analysis ranks the largest DReps by voting stake and shows, for each proposal type, the smallest group whose No votes could stop a proposal from passing1.
- A nudge for missing votes. A vote reminder lists each open proposal's deadline, how far the Yes vote is from its threshold, and the largest DReps and committee members who have not voted yet, with buttons to copy the list or post it on X1.
- Take the data with you. An Export CSV button saves the vote table as a spreadsheet file, and visitors can sign up for email alerts from the same page1.
What to Expect
ADAtool Governance opens on the vote table, with a filter bar above it and an English and Japanese language switch in the menu1. Read across a row to follow one DRep through past proposals, or down a column to see how one proposal split. DReps can also be filtered by how many days remain before they count as inactive1. Below the table, collapsible sections hold the stake analysis, where you pick a time range and can project DRep stake forward, and the vote reminder1.
DReps who want to act on what they see can follow a link to ADAtool's batch voting tool. The tool lets a DRep queue votes on several proposals and sign them together from a browser wallet such as Eternl, Lace or Typhon, and hardware wallets are supported6. Each vote's written reason, called a rationale, is saved in the CIP-100 governance metadata format7 and stored on IPFS, a shared file network6. The voting tool page opens in Japanese by default6.
Outside coverage has drawn on the site as well: a news report on a Cardano community budget vote cited adatool.net vote data8.
