Drep_activity - Cardano Network Parameters Part 22

In Cardano’s on-chain governance, DReps (Decentralized Representatives) must stay active to keep their voting power. The drep_activity parameter ensures this: currently set to 20 epochs (≈100 days), requiring DReps to either vote on proposals or update their DRep certificate to remain “active.”

Why does this matter? It keeps governance lively and accountable, preventing inactive DReps from passively holding influence and misrepresenting delegators.

You can check your DRep’s status easily using tools like 1694.io, which shows who’s actively participating.
