Half of each committee’s members were elected in the first elections in October 2024, and the remaining members were elected in 2025. The official final numbers for newly elected committees were made up of a 'Who’s Who' of Cardano’s brains trust:

 For a proposed governance action to be approved and implemented, it needs to meet specific voting thresholds set by Cardano. These thresholds may vary depending on the type of governance action being voted on. In simpler terms, some proposals might require approval from all three voting groups, while others might only need a certain percentage from a specific group.

 SanchoNet was named after the character Sancho Panza, Don Quixote’s companion in Miguel de Cervantes’ literary classic. SanchoNet is ultimately about transforming an aspirational digital Barataria into an on-chain governance reality on the Cardano mainnet. Note that SanchoNet is not another incentivized testnet (ITN), but a testnet where test ada is used to stress test experimental features. SanchoNet was rolled out in six phases, with each Cardano node (cardano-cli) release enabling new governance capabilities.
