Replying to @IOHK_Charles
Alright #CardanoCommunity, Let me quote Charles from one of his latest videos: "And I want to get back to unity. And I want to get back to empathy. And I want to get back to productive conversations. And I want to get back to Let's solve problems and get things done." That being said - i need YOUR (you! the one reading this!) help: Please retweet this post and tag @IOHK_Charles, because I have a message for him: Hey Charles, If what you said in the video is true, I would like to invite you to a private call with me (no recordings, etc.). Just the two of us having a constructive conversation about the ecosystem we both love! You have ideas, I have ideas - let's sort things out, brainstorm, etc. I really mean it - let's put the chaos aside and talk like grown men. It will be very beneficial for the Cardano ecosystem! Unblock me, DM me on X, and then we will pick a channel for our call. We may not have been aligned on everything in the past, and a lot of what we both said escalated really quickly. Let us both be bigger than this, because we both know there is one thing in our hearts that is bigger than anything else... and that is #Cardano!

Yo what's up #Cardano fam! Governance and Discord on your mind? Cardano Gov will be fully live tomorrow at some point. I'll post when ready. -DRep sign up with on-chain anchor. -DRep vote with multi vote single txs and on-chain anchor downloads. -Proposal tracking. -Start chat thread from proposals. -GovBot ai Cardano Governance agent in all chats. -Public Cardano community chat. -Start chat thread from any message in any chat room. -Public DRep room chat with any DRep. -DRep/SPO/Catalyst vote tracking with counterfactuals showing the weight of votes of founding entities verse the community. -Treasury fund tracking in 3d with a transaction list and links. -Proposal fund tracking. Totals, amount received, owed, sent, and where funds were sent from the fund receiving stakekey, with txIDs and links. -Townhall with audio meetings only or add meeting url with audio video to show on stage. Public chat below the stage. Event setup with add to calendar option. -Local meetup calendar The only requirement to interact is connect a Cardano wallet. You can remain anon or set up a profile. Townhall can be configured so any DRep or SPO can host a meeting or whatever the community thinks is best. This is just the beginning. There's more lined up and didn't cost the community a penny. I got one agenda M₳GA.

We are making Cardano more usable for everyone! Moving between ADA and fiat is still too difficult. Every step and every custodial intermediary creates friction. That's why we built an open-source MidnightZK Off-Ramp SDK. Developers can integrate fiat off-ramps directly into Cardano wallets and dApps, allowing users to convert ADA into fiat payment rails like Wise, Cash App, and Revolut without handing custody of their funds to a third party. The biggest barrier to adoption is the gap between blockchain and the real world. We're helping to close that gap 🤝

Most people assume these images are AI-generated. They're not. No CGI. No compositing. No Photoshop. Just light, a camera, and a lot of patience. Here's part of the creation process:

🤔it would seem that if you want high assurance decentralised smart contract infrastructure, that #Cardano really stands out.

Here's a list of all the features we would love to ship, if you would just support us. Oh no wait... scratch that, these are all live via SyncGovHub 🫡 → Real-time chats for DReps to talk to other DReps and to their delegators → Auto-polls so DReps can gather feedback from delegators on particular proposals → AI-driven summaries of current rationales so you don't have to read through dozens to try to understand why DReps are voting the way they are → Custom AI Agent with full knowledge of Cardano and governance, avail 24/7 for you to ask questions to, get insights from, etc → Tip your DRep with just a few clicks Builders will build!

Non-custodial private ADA → fiat x.com/NucastIO/status/206610…

Moving between Cardano and fiat is still too complicated, so we shipped an open-source MidnightZK Off-Ramp SDK! This developer toolkit allows Cardano wallets and dApps to convert ADA into fiat via web2 payment rails (Wise / Cash App / Revolut) without anyone taking custody of the user's funds. On the Cardano side, an Aiken Plutus V3 escrow validator holds the user's ADA under an inline EscrowDatum and only releases it on an operator-signed RELEASE redeemer — or refunds it on a sender-signed REFUND after a deadline if the fiat leg never settles. Privacy comes from a Midnight Compact zk-SNARK circuit that proves the payee handle and fiat amount match the on-chain commitments (plus an optional compliance flag) without ever revealing the underlying values on the public ledger. We've exercised the full validator surface on Cardano Preprod — five real transactions across both the Cash App and Wise paths: LOCK #1 (Cash App) → REFUND, and LOCK #2 (Wise), LOCK #3 (Wise) → RELEASE.

IAG holders take notes: F50, Ford and all other previously hyped initiatives are out. New talking points are Ireland and enterprise data sovereignty! Make sure you keep up! There’s so much revenue!!!! (Not from them selling their own token of course)!!!!!

Challenging times reveal who is made to survive and who isn't. 4 years strong here. Multiple cycles, harsh conditions, projects folding left, right and center. We're still standing, still shipping🫡

Sham 69: Hersham Boys (1979). The biggest UK hit for the band (yes, it was bigger than 'If the Kids Are United') and probably one of their best attempts at a video.

Or conversations could take place in public. Where there can't be private threads. Where community members don't have to join another social media platform to be involved. Public conversations for the whole community and direct public conversations with DReps. A platform where you can easily register as a DRep and DReps can submit multiple votes at once. A platform where DReps don't have to be responsible for pinning anchors on ipfs or hosting on GH. The content is embedded directly into the on-chain voting record. The way governance actions should be handled. The system is a large dapp, Cardano boasts about "on-chain governance" while not actively using it. Keep running in the same circles or do something different. It's up to you Cardano. I'll be building and adding to this. Got ideas, hit me up. f5tw.art/Cardano.Gov/

Dropping by to let everyone know that I spoke with @phillip_pon and we are working out a plan to create a discord for a great migration of the Cardano community from X. We can have happy, positive, well-moderated channels and leave behind the drama, lies, endless rage, and embittered people for a place where real conversations and real progress can be made. I will continue broadcasting live streams to X as I have a million followers here, but will only take AMA questions from the new Cardano and current Midnight discords. I've seen some commentary that broadcasting means I'm back on X. For those people, I can't solve stupid. Enjoy your scandals of the week and FUD. Real work is done elsewhere. Looking forward to Cardano ascending to better days, governance, and culture.
