Breaking How Blockchain Upgrades Start: From Idea To Proposal
CTDG Dev Hub’s upgrade pipeline turns raw ideas into tested code, formal proposals and transparent governance across networks.
Cointelegraph Decentralization Guardians (CTDG) was created to give those ideas a more reliable home. The initiative runs high-performance validators and participates in governance across networks such as Solana,, Injective, Chiliz, Polkadot, Coreum, Canton and Mantra, contributing to decentralization and security at the protocol layer.
The CTDG Dev Hub, launched in collaboration with blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs, extends the work to the development process itself. It serves as a public coordination space where contributors can submit, discuss and track upgrade proposals instead of relying on fragmented chats or closed documentation.
This explainer follows the path an idea takes inside CTDG Dev Hub, from the first spark to implementation on a live network, and shows how the platform turns informal conversations into transparent, verifiable change.
Innovation in decentralized ecosystems tends to appear where people are immersed in the network’s behavior. Instead of a single authority, upgrade ideas spark from everyday interactions, such as a validator noticing that block propagation slows under peak load or a core developer identifying an opportunity to simplify a module.
Within CTDG Dev Hub, those insights can come from many contexts, including:
Day-to-day operations handled by validators and node operators who monitor performance metrics and reliability.
Community or governance discussions that reveal recurring issues with network parameters, like fees, staking rules or user experience.
Experiments on testnets, where developers trial new configurations and features without risking mainnet capital.
Each of these sparks has potential, but, at this stage, they stand as just a pattern in logs, a testnet experiment or a recurring complaint. Only when someone documents and submits them as a proposal at the CTDG Dev Hub can they become a step forward.
