I have got my hand up as well this is a great quote from Kris's comment and one that everyone should take a pause and see how it fits in their Cardano life.
"If you're an SPO, dApp founder, or operator serious about building commercial solvency on Cardano, DM me. Let's map who's ready to move."
Please repost this if you want Cardano commerce to increase not shrink, if you want ADA price to go up based on real world companies finally adopting our chain as a place to do business (create a end to end enterprise solution and they will join) Please repost and put your hand up to make Cardano the best place to live/work/play, this isn't going to be easy but nothing worth having and keeping is:-)
James, this is one of the most honest and necessary posts I've seen in this ecosystem in a long time. Vision without commercial execution is just a whitepaper.
Charles built the foundation, and nobody takes that away. But you're right that the next phase needs operators who wake up thinking about solvency, product-market fit, and keeping teams paid. That's a different skill set and a different mandate.
As a CC member, Intersect Budget Committee member, and Blockchain Ecosystem Growth & Partnerships Lead at Modus Create. I'm putting my hand up as one of those interim business leads you're calling for.
There are ongoing efforts on the institutional and commercial front, and that work is real, and it matters. But what's still missing is the enterprise breakthrough. An S&P 500 company going live on Cardano, signaling to the broader corporate world that blockchain is a genuine solution to their pain points. That lighthouse client changes everything. It converts skeptical enterprise procurement committees from "interesting pilot" to "we need to be here."
Wider adoption at that level is what breaks the cycle of being held hostage by market volatility. I'm willing to roll up my sleeves and help drive that effort.
If you're an SPO, dApp founder, or operator serious about building commercial solvency on Cardano, DM me. Let's map who's ready to move.
We are all Cardano CEOs. Time to get to work. 🤝
