Van Rossem Hard Fork
◆ Description
Cardano Protocol Version 11 hard fork enacts on July 18, 2026 at 21:45 UTC following ratification of the governance action.
◆ Why it matters
The hard fork activates Cardano Protocol Version 11 on mainnet at a confirmed time, changing the network's on-chain rules and capabilities on a central valuation surface. Governance ratification plus a specific activation timestamp makes this a committed, executable catalyst rather than a vague expectation. The market-facing fact is the actual protocol upgrade going live, which is a real but largely incremental re-rate for ADA holders rather than a thesis-changing event.
