[Cardano Proposes Naming the 2026 Protocol Version 11 Hard Fork 'van Rossem Hard Fork'] According to Cryptopolitan, the Cardano community hard fork working group has proposed naming the 2026 protocol version 11 hard fork the 'van Rossem Hard Fork' in honor of the late governance representative (DRep) Max van Rossem. Van Rossem was a member and co-leader of the Constitutional Committee Election Working Group, contributing to the drafting of Cardano's first constitution and playing a key role in the inclusion of Article 8 of the constitution. He also founded the AdaMoments project, which aims to permanently preserve users' personal histories, and was actively involved in community building in the Netherlands. The community will vote on the naming proposal from January 13 to February 14, 2026. The protocol version 11 upgrade is expected to enhance node security, ledger consistency, and Plutus performance.
