- Cardano engineering groups move closer to IOG’s autonomy target — this brief
Input Output Group has identified Serokell and AlwaysTrue as the latest organizations assuming 
Cardano engineering responsibilities. According to Crypto.news, the move comes as IOG says the project’s core development teams are close to achieving autonomy, a status that would formally reduce IOG’s role in directing Cardano’s engineering work.
Crypto.news is the only outlet supplied with coverage of the announcement, so the reported timing and each organization’s precise responsibilities are not independently corroborated in this source set. The available report does not provide a completion date, technical scope, funding arrangement or other implementation details for the transition.
The announcement extends IOG’s effort to distribute Cardano engineering work among additional teams. Serokell and AlwaysTrue now form the latest names attached to that effort, although the supplied coverage does not specify which parts of the development process either organization will handle.
Cardano’s ADA token was priced at $0.17829 in the provided market data. It was down 0.77% over 24 hours and 4.93% over seven days, while its market capitalization was $6.7 billion.
