To the Cardano Ecosystem and its supporters,
I am pleased to announce that I have completed the Turkish translation of the Cardano Foundation’s Constitutional Proposal, which I have been working on for about a week. You can access the MS Word and PDF files of the translation via the Google Drive link below:

The timing of this translation coincides with the historic signing of the Cardano Constitution in Argentina, a moment that I believe marks a significant turning point for the entire crypto ecosystem. Cardano has blazed a new trail in this area, which other blockchain ecosystems will follow.
There is no doubt that this constitution will become a key reference in academic articles, scientific researches, and special features in newspapers/books in the coming years. I believe that in the future, this constitution will be recognized as the ‘Magna Carta’ of blockchain history. It serves as a model not only for blockchain ecosystems but also provides valuable insights for modern states grappling with the challenges of digital transformation.
Due to the lack of clarity of some concepts in the Turkish blockchain literature, I exchanged ideas with some academic friends from the Faculties of Law and Economics during the translation process. My impression is that this document will stimulate academic articles comparing the Cardano Constitution with the constitutions of modern nation-states, especially through the ‘comparative method’. In fact, I plan to refer extensively to this constitutional text in an article I am preparing for submission to a peer-reviewed journal that explores the potential and implications of Cardano in the Web3 era.
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the individuals and communities within the Cardano ecosystem whose ideas and vision have made this achievement possible. Without their dedicated efforts, we would not have come this far.
Throughout the translation process, I had the opportunity to delve deeply into the text of the constitution, analyzing it in detail and comparing it with various constitutional initiatives around the world. I found that the Cardano Constitution masterfully combines the principle of decentralization with the flexibility needed to adapt to the evolving needs of the Digital Revolution. I believe that this dynamic aspect of the Constitution will open the door to a wave of academic workshops, discussions and further research, enriching the dialogue on blockchain governance and its implications for society.
From Satoshi Nakamoto’s groundbreaking paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” published on October 31, 2008, to the official launch of the Cardano blockchain in September 2017, the journey of decentralized technology has been remarkable. This constitution stands as one of the most inspiring victories of that long journey, symbolizing the maturation of blockchain technology and its potential to redefine systems of governance and community engagement.
