Hello all! We're getting much closer to Chang #2 and turning on the final features to Cardano's on-chain governance 🙌 TLDR: * Cardano node version 10.1.1 is out, and is the node candidate to take Cardano out of the technical bootstrapping phase and into full on-chain governance - important for SPOs, DApps, wallets, exchanges and more. * If you haven't delegated to a Delegate Representative (DRep) check out https://gov.tools and connect your wallet * Note: After the upgrade, if you haven't delegated to a DRep, your staking rewards will still accumulate, but you won't be able to withdraw them until you do. We've produced a status report to learn more, and how you can get involved today ➡️ https://www.intersectmbo.org/news/cardano-node-10.1.1-is-ready
