dRep Activity Parameter: Is Your DRep Asleep at the Wheel?

In Cardano’s new on-chain governance system, you can delegate your voice to a DRep—your Decentralized Representative. But what happens if your chosen rep stops showing up?

In this episode we learn about the parameter that helps prevent this sad state: drep_activity. We'll explain how it tracks whether DReps are engaged, why liveness matters for legitimate governance, and what debates are brewing around accountability and inactivity.

Plus, you’ll learn how to check your own DRep’s activity history—and what it means if they’ve gone quiet for 100 days.
