The era will mark the complete decentralization of Cardano, which started with the introduction of distributed infrastructure in the Shelley era.<\/p>\n<p>By then, the blockchain users will have more say in the direction of the network because they can submit Cardano improvement proposals.<\/p>\n<p>The treasury will also be in place to fund any CIP passed by the community.
