The Cardano community has recently taken a notable action—the Hard Fork Working Group proposed to name the 2026 protocol version 11 as the "van Rossem Hard Fork" to commemorate the late governance representative Max van Rossem. This gentleman was involved in drafting Cardano's first constitution and also founded the AdaMoments project, making significant contributions to the ecosystem.

The community voting period is scheduled from January 13 to February 14 next year, and everyone can participate in voting on this proposal. Regarding the upgrade itself, the main goal is to enhance node security, ensure the consistency of ledger data, and improve the execution efficiency of Plutus smart contracts through various improvements. For Cardano users, this optimization should provide a more stable network experience.

It's quite warm. Naming upgrades after contributors to commemorate their contributions—that's what Web3 should be like.

Quite interesting, commemorating contributors with an upgrade. Cardano's move this time is quite thoughtful.

This gesture is pretty good; commemorating Max in this way feels warm. But to be honest, whether ADA's recent move can truly improve network stability depends on how the implementation goes after the vote.

Commemorating Max in this way is meaningful, but the most important thing is whether this upgrade can truly improve Plutus efficiency. Having a name alone is useless.
