Roadmap

Cardano is ready to run more of itself. Teams that IO Engineering once operated are moving into community hands, led by trusted partners. Decentralization has always been the goal, and this is what it looks like. The chart below shows indicative timelines for the shift. Every project keeps running and keeps serving Cardano, so a bar ending simply marks where a partner takes the lead. We will name each partner as agreements are finalized.
