What happened
A commit added a van Rossem hard fork entry to the Features table in CIP-0059. The table is used as a ledger for tracking protocol features alongside earlier eras.
Why it matters
For builders and stake-pool operators, the named entry is worth placing on a watchlist because it appears in the protocol-feature record. It also sits within a broader batch of CIP maintenance that included work on mobile deep-link signing, a multiIndexArray argument convention, and the feature ledger itself.
This is still a thin signal. The available record describes a documentation edit, not an implementation release or an on-chain governance action.
What to watch next
The next useful receipt would be a governance action or an era-details commit that provides a ratified scope or timing. Until then, there is nothing in this record to plan around, and no basis to infer when van Rossem might occur.
Watch for a governance action or an era-details commit that states van Rossem’s scope or timing.
