Currently, there are three actions available to engage in Cardano's governance:


  • Delegate to a DRep: In this case, you are delegating your voting power to a trusted DRep allowing them to make decisions on your behalf. When selecting a DRep, prioritize reliability, community engagement, and alignment with your values. Look for consistent performance, active involvement in the ecosystem, and proposals that resonate with your vision for Cardano's growth.

You can find a DRep list here.

To choose a Cardano DRep, find someone whose mission and values align with your own, and check for active community involvement. Reviewing their past decisions (if available) can give insight into their approach. Look for clear communication, relevant expertise, and support from the community to help guide your choice.

  • Abstain: This option means you are choosing not to cast a vote on all proposals until you decide otherwise.
  • No Confidence: You are expressing a lack of trust in proposals. It serves as a mechanism to voice concerns and initiate discussions about whether a particular proposal is practical or effective. As with any other action, you can change it at any time.


Note that you must participate in governance by taking one of the actions if you want to be able to withdraw your rewards.


Currently, it's not possible to vote directly in Yoroi, but you can connect your wallet to GovTool to become a direct voter. You will find details here.
