The Update Committee governance action to restore the Constitutional Committee from 6 to 7 members, proposing Cardano Curia as the new member, is now live on-chain! SPOs and DReps, please review and vote to restore the CC now ➡️ bit.ly/update-cc-action We chose to wait for the final audit of the very close snap DRep vote before submitting this Update Committee action, even as the Critical Integrations Treasury Withdrawal went out a day earlier.

Thanks @Emurgo_Ken We appreciate the support. Success is a journey, not a destination. It requires constant effort, vigilance and reevaluation. Privacy matters. That’s the reason we set out on this journey. I have confidence we will deliver @MidnightNtwrk and the Freedoms of ACE Freedom of Association, without permissions Freedom of Commerce, without restrictions Freedom of Expression, without censorship

I enjoy these digests. Nice spotlight on the Cardano Hackathon Asia IBW 2025 too.

Thank you to every builder who joined us in Bangalore to drive Cardano forward. The creativity and execution we witnessed highlight the strength of this region and the growing momentum across the ecosystem. We would also like to thank the 10 mentors from different entities who supported the hackathon. They conducted over 12 hours of workshops, also guiding the participants throughout the event. We remain committed to empowering teams worldwide, creating more opportunities to build, test, and scale new ideas. This is only the start. The next Cardano Hackathon Asia will coincide with @teamz_inc Summit in April 2026. More information will follow through the @Cardano_CF and partners.

The Cardano Hackathon Asia @IBWofficial 2025 Edition highlighted the strength of India’s builders and their drive to build on Cardano. We're proud to share that the first Cardano Hackathon Asia exceeded the KPIs set for regional tech events under @Cardano_CF's Summit proposal. The goal was to onboard 300 new developers. India significantly went far beyond that baseline. We received over 5,000 applications and shortlisted 748 individuals across 225 teams, surpassing our goal by 149%. The shortlisted participants gathered in Bangalore for a 30-hour Grand Finale from November 29th to 30th. The scale, output quality, and speed of iteration confirmed the depth of talent in India and its growing influence on Cardano’s technical growth.

The NIGHT Redemption phase is about to begin, and support for redemption is coming soon to Yoroi wallet's airdrop section. We’ll share an update as soon as the flow is live on both extension and mobile!

Agree! This is a milestone in crypto and a missing core infrastructure in web3. Selective disclosure unlocks trillion dollar industries that have so far shied away from crypto. ie healthcare and education. Separately this unlocks further use cases for tradfi too. Welcome to a new day (or night)! @MidnightNtwrk Congratulations @IOHK_Charles @F_ZK_Now and @Cardano

Congratulations on the @MidnightNtwrk listing! I truly believe this is not only a major milestone for Cardano, but also a crucial piece in moving the future of the crypto industry from the experimental phase to real financial adoption. After years of relentless research and development, reaching this moment is remarkable—and you deserve a standing ovation. We will continue to support the journey ahead as we work together to implement genuine, impactful use cases. @IOHK_Charles @IOGroup

1/ Today marks a milestone moment for @midnightntwrk: NIGHT is officially live. 🥳 Here’s what this means and what you should know 🧵

Last trip of the year ✅ I spent the week in Bangalore, where Masumi was a part of the Cardano Asia Hackathon, with its own track and over 500 young hackers participated with around 40% of them building Agents on Masumi. Afterwards we participated at IBW and talked to hundreds more about the opportunities that Masumi provides specifically here in India. Big shoutout to EMURGO (specifically Nate & Aire) for an incredible event. Also to the CF, Midnight, Rare Evo & the Hydra team. It's super cool to see such a joint initiative for Cardano Marketing. Now its time to head back home & lock in. 27 more days to prepare for an incredible 2026. PS: Let's do all Cardano Hackathons in (NMKR) Green from now on ;D
