Overview
CardanoCube Governance is a public dashboard that shows which proposals are up for a vote, who is voting on them, and how each vote is going1,2. ADA holders can use it to check on the representatives who vote for them. Those representatives can read proposals and cast their own votes from a connected wallet3.
The dashboard is the governance section of Cardano Cube, a site that maps projects built on Cardano4. It tracks Cardano governance, where three groups vote on proposals. Delegated Representatives (DReps) vote for the ADA holders who back them. Stake pool operators (SPOs) run the servers that validate transactions and vote on network upgrades (hard forks) and security-related network settings. The Constitutional Committee checks proposals against Cardano's constitution5.
Key Features
- One list of open and closed proposals. The proposals page shows each open vote with its type and voting deadline, and marks closed ones as enacted (put into effect) or expired3.
- A type tag on each proposal. CardanoCube Governance tags each proposal by type3. Types include treasury withdrawals (requests to pay out ADA from the network's shared fund), parameter changes (adjustments to network settings), and info actions, which record a position without changing anything on the chain, as defined in CIP-1694, the proposal that introduced Cardano's on-chain governance6.
- Vote breakdowns for all three groups. Each proposal page splits the result into DRep, SPO, and Constitutional Committee panels. The DRep and SPO panels total Yes, No, and Abstain votes in ADA, the committee panel counts member votes, and a voter list shows the ADA behind each DRep and SPO vote2.
- A filterable DRep directory. DReps can be filtered by activity status, by how often they explain their votes, by voting power, and by number of delegators7. Each profile shows the DRep's stated goals, voting power, delegator count, and voting history8.
- Batch voting for DReps. A DRep can connect a wallet, select several open proposals, and send one vote transaction for the whole selection3.
What to Expect
ADA holders choosing or checking on a DRep can start in the DRep directory. Open a profile to read what a representative says they stand for and how they have voted on past proposals8. If you want to compare more options, ADAStack also lists other DRep explorers.
For anyone curious about how Cardano spends its treasury or changes its rules, the hub page opens with a summary of proposals and DReps and a feed of recent activity, such as DReps moving from active to inactive1. Each proposal page puts the full text, including the abstract, motivation, rationale, and references, next to the vote tallies2.
Browsing needs no wallet. Connecting one only matters for DReps. On a proposal page, a DRep can vote Yes, No, or Abstain, draft and save a written rationale explaining the choice, and change the vote later. After submitting, the page shows the vote's status and a link to the transaction on Cardanoscan, a public blockchain explorer2.
CardanoCube Governance sits alongside Cardano Cube's other tools, including its project explorer4 and an interactive ecosystem map.
