Woofun AI reports that Input Output will transfer stewardship of critical Cardano components, including the Haskell node, Plutus platform, and Daedalus wallet, to external professional teams beginning in August.

This shift forms part of a multi-year strategy to advance decentralization, with entities such as Se7en Labs and Teragone assuming responsibility for specific core infrastructures.

The protocol will maintain at least three versions in Haskell, Rust, and Go, overseen by the community through formal specification management. Founder Charles Hoskinson describes this restructuring and associated ecosystem challenges as necessary "growing pains" required for achieving full decentralization, despite current weak network activity and declining ADA prices.
