[text] Cardano governance doesn’t belong in a Discord server. Here’s why I think governance infrastructure should follow a different set of principles. ⤵️

[image] JUST IN: 13M $USDCx minted on Cardano.

[video] Hey Cardano! 👋 Join Sebastian Nagel @ch1bo_, the Leios architect, as he showcases the Leios node peaking at 250 TxkB/s (~1,000 simple 250-byte transactions per second) on a local cluster with emulated round trip times for higher fidelity. Mainnet today tops out at 4.5 TxkB/s.

[image] We have voted YES on the "Withdraw 120M $ADA for @AlphaGrowth1's Cardano PRIME" governance action. This proposal seeks to bridge Cardano’s DeFi liquidity gap and we believe this program, as described in the metadata and public commitments, will support resilient growth of TVL.

[image] Hydra 1.3.0 is here. Hydra is a scaling solution unique to Cardano that Ethereum and Solana simply can't build. I personally have massive expectations for Hydra. It's the single biggest reason I believe in Cardano's future. It's only been six months since v1.0 last October, and

[image] JUST IN: Cardano’s $ADA stablecoin market cap is expanding rapidly, reflecting a sharp rise in onchain liquidity across the ecosystem.

[text] SPOs, are you set to auto-abstain? If so, you must still vote on this governance action. Remember: all SPOs must vote Yes, No or Abstain.

[text] Dear Cardano fam, I decided to leave the Cardano Foundation earlier last month. I’ve been involved with Cardano since 2017, and CF since before the Shelley HF. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m forever grateful for each and every contribution I’ve been apart of.

[text] Whenever $ADA drops and Cardano FUD picks up, people attack @IOHK_Charles and the FEs. They've never attended a global blockchain event, never experienced the networking and opportunities those rooms create, yet they dismiss @CardanoSummit as trivial. They've never run a

[image] The Update Constitutional Committee governance action has been ratified, clearing the 67% DRep and 51% SPO thresholds. The new Committee is seated. This is on-chain governance working as designed. Thank you to every DRep and SPO who voted.

[image] One day left to vote on the “Update CC” governance action. 🗳️ If this expires, the Constitutional Committee drops below five members and treasury, parameter, and hard fork actions stall until it’s rebuilt. SPOs sit at 42% of the 51% threshold. Vote now:

[image] 🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: JPG Store users have until May 23 to clean up active listings, offers, and loans. Assets are not lost after shutdown, but recovery may require another marketplace or Cardano CLI. Non-technical users should handle it before the deadline.

[video] Everstake even called Cardano one of the most resilient and well-designed blockchain ecosystems out there. I think this isn’t just a casual opinion, it’s a more grounded and objective assessment. This company runs staking infrastructure at a global, institutional level, over a

[image] We have cast our votes in the 2026 Constitutional Committee election. The CC is the body that safeguards the Constitution and reviews whether governance actions comply with it, one of the most important roles in Cardano governance. The four candidates we voted for: 👇

[image] $ADA just leveled up. You can now borrow $USDC with $ADA on Coinbase. From staking to collateral in one of the largest crypto platforms in the world.

[video] Partnerchains have always been apart of the Cardano roadmap. Is the community being too tough on Charles? $ADA

[image] There's an interesting project brewing on Cardano: RealFi $USDr, where staking a stablecoin can earn you up to 9% APY. It's similar to a bigger existing project, Ondo $USDY. The difference is that USDr's yield comes with risk attached, since it's generated through "direct

[image] Few are paying attention, but I think this is huge. CIP-113 means the capabilities $ETH tokens have can now be built on $ADA too. With plain CNTs, there was no way to support issuer freeze and seize functions or KYC-based transfer restrictions. CIP-113 makes that possible. That

[text] Hey Cardano! I'm looking for a good name for the dedicated Leios testnet that we will launch in June. Shoot!

[image] JUST IN: The SEC gave Cardano a 75-day path to a spot ETF. Bitcoin’s process took 240 days.

[image] The stablecoin to DeFi TVL ratio on Cardano jumped from around 10% last June to 32% now, roughly tripling. In just the past 7 days alone, $USDCx liquidity pushed stablecoin supply from $33M to $47M, a 42% increase! To be fair, a big part of that ratio increase is because

[image] They are clearly misleading the community and appear to be using governance power in a way that benefits the potential interests of @emurgo_io and @YoroiWallet. I think Cardano governance is starting to resemble the collapsed governance we saw with $EOS. The screenshot I

[image] JUST IN: Cardano whales are increasing their grip on the supply. Over the past 6 months, the largest $ADA holders have aggressively expanded their positions. 100K–100M $ADA wallets now control nearly 70% of total supply.

[text] I think the negative sentiment around Midnight is way overblown. Midnight isn't competing with Cardano. It's a complementary partner chain that fills in the gaps in scalability and functionality. And there is not a single person in this ecosystem who can replace the role

[image] Cardano vs Solana: validator count Cardano: ~2,900 and climbing Solana: ~777 and declining Network participation is expanding on Cardano while contracting on Solana.

[text] I think @emurgo_io, @Cardano_CF need to prove why they deserve to exist as key founding entities of Cardano. If they can’t, then, Cardano may be better off without them, or it needs new organizations that can actually take over their roles. Even Solana, which has already

[image] I think the most adopted chain among institutions right now is Canton. and here's the fun part: @CantonNetwork uses the same eUTXO model as Cardano. Canton calls out the limits of $ETH's account model too. Digital Asset, the company behind Canton, flat out says "business is

[image] Cardano processed 386 TPS on mainnet when a block hit full capacity. All while maintaining high decentralization and near-perfect network uptime. Throughput means nothing if the network sacrifices reliability. Cardano doesn’t.

[image] The reason I believe Cardano has a long-term advantage is its UTXO model and the fact that it’s one of the most decentralized blockchains out there. From what I’ve been seeing lately, financial institutions are finally starting to integrate blockchain into their existing

[video] In proof-of-work blockchains, whoever has the most computing power wins. ⚡️ Proof-of-stake works differently. Block production is assigned based on stake, not energy consumption, allowing networks like Cardano to remain secure without relying on industrial-scale mining.

[image] Vitalik knows it too. Cardano is the chain that has pushed the value of the UTXO model the furthest. The structural problems the account model has long struggled with, parallel execution, MEV like front-running and sandwiching, and the non-determinism of not knowing a

[image] JUST IN: Only 6.5B $ADA remains in reserves. Over 80% of Cardano’s supply is already in circulation. Compare that to chains like Solana, Avalanche, and others where large portions remain locked or controlled.

[image] Thank you, Cardano community, for making us the most used platform in the entire ecosystem. 💙

[image] ATTENTION: Cardano is on the verge of breaking back into the top 10.

[text] When I look at Ethereum and Cardano side by side, I see a fascinating matchup. On one side, there's a first mover with a massive ecosystem and community, but one that carries structural inefficiencies and fundamental limitations. On the other side, a fast follower with a

[image] $ADA just hit its highest price in 3 weeks. After weeks of muted price action, Cardano is showing renewed strength. The Cardano market is waking up again.

[text] What makes this @secondfiapp hack even more heartbreaking is that it happened to people who were still actively supporting our ecosystem until recently. When so many people walked away from Cardano, they stayed. They helped keep this ecosystem alive, and I think they’re one of

[image] I think DeFi Kernel is a truly unique protocol that maximizes Cardano's structural advantages. Personally, I hope to see it develop even further. Here's what makes it different: - No batchers, extremely low fees - Parallel UTxO processing -Keep your staking rewards and

[image] Cardano $USDCx supply just passed 20 million. Stablecoin liquidity on Cardano is ramping up fast!

[text] This is also where Cardano stands out. Cardano doesn't have restaking protocols like KelpDAO. It doesn't need a liquid wrapping layer like Lido, which means it doesn't need tokens like $stETH that come with depegging risk baked in. In other words, a whole category of

[image] Hey Cardano! 👋 Today's the day. 🎉 Musashi Dojo is live — SPOs, tool builders, dApp devs: Join the Dojo and train with us! Docs are up for running a Leios node and registering a stake pool. We're starting at the Earth phase — foundations first.

[image] For a limited time, TapTools Pro is now FREE for all users. Advanced analytics. Smarter insights. More tools at your fingertips. Happy trading.

[text] A great indicator of Cardano's bright future? The amount of haters and FUDsters. ​Think about it: If you dislike a business, you simply don't go there. You don't make it your life's purpose to FUD its customers. I've never seen someone standing outside a coffee shop warning

[image] My DRep live stake is now approaching 50M ADA. I’d like to thank everyone who has delegated to me. Lately, there has been a lot of negative news coming out of the Cardano ecosystem. We’re seeing major services shutting down, as well as people stepping away from their roles as

[text] Really Interesting. $OUSD is launching soon. It’s a massive coalition of around 140 companies, ranging from major payment networks and financial institutions to crypto exchanges and infra providers. The disappointing part is that Cardano isn’t part of it. Solana, Stellar,

[video] Now Cardano is no longer an isolated ecosystem, it’s becoming a core ecosystem connected to all others! @LayerZero_Core is essentially a leading player in cross-chain messaging and interoperability, acting as a key infrastructure layer where users and liquidity from ecosystems

[text] If this is actually real, this is a massive feature. It means not just $ADA, but also assets like $USDCx and $USDM could be used seamlessly for payments and transfers. with Cardano integrating with $BTC through trustless bridges, and connecting to circle's stablecoin and

[text] In simple terms, I would say Cardano's existing native tokens (CNTs) now have a new programmable token standard, CIP-0113, similar to Ethereum's ERC-20. This means Cardano can now support an even wider range of token types.

[text] I'm seeing more and more projects saying they'll stop operating if they don't get treasury funding. I'm not really sure how to feel about that.

[text] Let me share a bit of a personal story. The first time I came across @IOGroup was through a brilliant developer in Korea, someone who had previously led one of the country's most well-known blockchain academic societies and ran several popular projects. Back in graduate school,
