CAP-12 Propose Cardano Constitution Changes for Dijkstra

CAP-12, one proposed amendment wey cover Dijkstra protocol parameters, don open for public consultation. Intersect October 2 update outline di proposal together with preparations for Node 11.2, and dem expect pre-release soon for wallet and infrastructure teams.

Dijkstra Parameters for di Cardano Constitution

Cardano Constitution allow Parameter Update actions to change only settings wey Appendix I list clearly. Without di amendment, Dijkstra new parameters go remain fixed for their first values even though dem fit technically adjust am.

CAP-12 cover reference-script protection, Ouroboros Leios, Ouroboros Peras, and stake pool economics. E scope include Leios capacity and timing settings, minimum pool margin, and maximum pledge leverage.

For each parameter, di proposal describe wetin e dey do, assign am to im voting group, and define limits for future changes. Di group determine di approval threshold for DReps, representatives wey ADA holders dey delegate voting power to. Security-critical parameters still need stake pool operator approval.

Updated Guardrails Script go automatically enforce constraints wey dem fit check on-chain. Di amendment add provisions without changing or removing any existing constitutional text.

Node 11.2 Dey Prepare Dijkstra Integration Testing

Intersect talk say release sequencing for Node 11.2 don start. Di planned pre-release go carry most of di Dijkstra feature set, including di new block format and Plutus V4 context, wey define di information wey smart contract scripts fit access.

Wallet and tooling teams go fit test integrations and check changes to protocol behavior, APIs, and functionality. Di release no go include Leios and e no go ready to activate di hard fork.

Hardware wallet providers still get preparation work wey involve cryptographic keys and stake pool registration requirements for Leios. Dose requirements pass wetin di upcoming test release go contain.

Pending Guardrails and Later Activation

Di proposed guardrails link changes to Leios capacity with benchmarking and simulations wey go show say nodes fit process and distribute data within di required time.

CAP-12 still separate activation stages. Maximum pledge leverage, one pool parameter wey link to operators own ADA pledges, go first no get configured value. To enable am go need another governance action. Peras and minimum pool margin dem intend am for later hard fork inside di Dijkstra era.

Di proposal still dey under consultation, and dem expect initial editor review. Numerical bounds for Endorser Block capacity and Leios timing still dey among di values wey mark “PENDING” for di draft.
