Over 150k Ada paid out last 7 months from mining vertical and dex fees alone. Criminal but we usually aren’t on these X lists so no big deal. Pretty big list of miners here

Hey Bankers! Rewards Day keeps getting bigger. This month’s BankFi payout has exceeded expectations, with more value flowing back to our holders & across our ecosystem. More growth. More rewards. More proof that sustainable revenue compounds. It pays to $BANK with us.

Building in crypto does not invalidate the fundamentals of building a good business. Startups still need to define their audience, understand the problem, and create a model that can sustain itself. Too many crypto projects stop at “whales,” token demand, and vague utility. The projects that last know exactly who they serve, why users return, and how value is created beyond speculation. Blockchain can improve the product and unlock entirely new opportunities. It cannot replace the business model.

Hey Bankers! Another month, another rewards distribution! This has been a massive improvement over prior months with our RWA infrastructure generating a great bonus to rewards! Claim on the 15th of every month at bankerlabs.io

The Cardano Builder DAO isn't perfect, but I believe it's the kind of budget that can be vital for a few grassroots projects across the ecosystem. The vote is very close to passing at 66% (67% required), and I hope DReps will consider voting in favor. 16 hours left.

I hope people will vote for it. Especially that it's so close...

Hey crow please considering voting yes on the Builder DAO. The grassroots builders need you!

For DReps voting on the Intersect budget through Hydra, every vote matters. Especially on proposals that shape how builders and sustainable businesses are supported across Cardano. For Intersect specifically, not voting is counted the same as voting NO. The @builder__dao represents an important idea: Cardano needs more than infrastructure. It needs a resource layer where proven teams can receive support, stay accountable, and drive meaningful on-chain activity. The proposal is on the edge of acceptance, and support or intentional abstention could help strengthen Cardano’s business environment. intersect.ekklesia.vote/ball… Vote how you believe is right, but vote with intention. This is a pivotal moment for Cardano’s future. Make your voice heard. @BullishDumpling @tempo_vote @Pooltoolio @sidan_lab

We just gained our first Sentry! 🎉

@yutazzz Hi Yuta-san, I'm glad to see you're open to the idea that Cardano needs to fund business initiatives just as much as infrastructure and technology. What's the point of high-quality roads if nobody drives on them? We don't have much time, so this will probably be my final appeal to you, and I want to say I've genuinely enjoyed the debate on Hydra. We are one day away from deciding whether an ecosystem with 350M ADA to spend will choose to value the entrepreneurs and developers who (i) quit their jobs to build products and companies with Cardano as their backbone, (ii) have stayed despite below-market salaries, and (iii) have recently chosen to build on Cardano. Imagine being a new entrepreneur whose only funding route is going direct to the treasury. That will not attract new builders, most certainly not. From my perspective, the CB DAO is a business proposal. It's a coordination layer with one simple purpose: to fund and hold accountable businesses on Cardano. It lets dReps say, "Yes, we want builders taken care of, and we want to delegate the operations and accountability layer to sort through smaller proposals from proven Cardano builders." So, what is the CB DAO most likely to fund? The honest answer is that preselecting projects is not how good, fluid governance works. What we have instead is a mandate and a transparent, competitive process: one member, one vote, decided by an informed, domain-expert voter base, funding the products and teams that base believes are best for Cardano's KPIs and for bringing new users to the chain. And we run funding rounds more frequently than the treasury runs budget cycles, so capital moves at the speed builders actually need. Rather than tell you in the abstract, let me show you. Here are real proposals from our last governance round so you can judge the quality and nature of the work yourself: Masumi: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… Clarity: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… Delta DeFi: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… Anvil Development Agency: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… BankFi: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… Flux Point Studios: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… CSWAP: drive.tiny.cloud/1/1k7o5om77… There's more, but this should give you the idea. The Builder DAO needs your vote. We believe this kind of ultra-transparent, dRep-overseen, domain-specific coordination layer is an evolution in Cardano governance, and a necessary one if we want builders to stay and keep building the businesses that scale Cardano's KPIs.

The impact of the CB DAO on activity across Cardano cannot be overstated. After joining the CBDAO last round, and being funded, BankFi, in less than three months, has seen measurable growth in transactions, TVL, user activity, and new business opportunities that came directly from this integration with CBDAO. More importantly, it connected us with other builders who share the same goal: creating sustainable businesses that bring long-term value to Cardano. Infrastructure is essential, but infrastructure alone doesn't onboard users or create economic activity. Builders do. The CB DAO gives Cardano a way to coordinate, fund, and hold accountable the teams willing to take the risk of building companies on this ecosystem. We've experienced that value firsthand, and we believe Cardano will be stronger if more builders are given the same opportunity.

Alright @ESCOweb3 I did the work for ya by looking at all the onchain data involving use of @builder__dao funds. Feel free to form opinions using the actual facts: docsend.com/view/ji35fer8npm… It is so harmful to the community and builders for you to spread these lies and narratives. Am I saying we were perfect? No, but this is what transparency looks like. Before you come after my company's integrity, do your research and if you want, have a conversation with me. Or you can keep sowing malice in spaces and on the timeline with lies. Are other proposal providing you with this? Do other proposal track their KPI in a standardized way? Have you seen how we are constantly improving? Come to our calls man, your company is literally a member. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

Let me preface this statement by saying it comes from a place of pure passion and wanting to do better for Cardano. I am not trying to divide, just point out some serious realities I see facing our ecosystem. To Fred: I agree that the short term sentiment doesn’t matter for most things but it entirely matters for the group of people who decided to give up their real lives to be here. 2 huge projects/teams with platforms that people actually used just went down in the last month. I’m not saying that business shouldn’t have to business but why are the operations of few subsidized while the rest of the ecosystem is left to fend for itself? Is this really what we planned for? Is this the long term vision from the past? We have convinced the community that the only thing that matters is core work. This is a huge problem. All we have historically funded is core work, with few minor exclusions. Catalyst shut down at the worst possible time (it needed the overhaul so I get it) and there was no stop gap in place to help support builders. Cardano will never grow if we don’t start supporting enterprise adoption and outside opportunities. We had a huge head start here and I am seeing other blockchains do the things I wanted to see Cardano do. Partnerships that should have been us. I’m not sure but while these posts are encouraging, I don’t see anyone trying to fix the problem I mentioned above. And maybe no one will try, and we will exodus all of our current users and projects who have committed years of their life to this. Slowly we all leave. Then finally once all the OG builders leave, a new wave of businesses will come here, with no inclination of the past 5 years, and history will repeat itself again. I don’t see why we can’t work harder with what we have. Help businesses learn better practices. Teach them how to build a war chest. We (you) also need to create more business opportunities. CF should literally be lead generating for all of Cardano businesses yet it doesn’t. There’s no opportunity on Cardano besides the treasury right now Fred. It’s a serious problem, and seems like not many care to see all the businesses die. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t want your money, I want more opportunities in Cardano. -Concerned Cardano Business Owner

Hey Bankers! Round 2 of 4 of our 32k $NIGHT distributions is dropping June 10th! If you haven't connected your account yet, there's still time to get your share.

Cardano has been going through turbulence recently. Weak business models are breaking under pressure, sentiment is low, and frustration across the ecosystem is understandable. But moments like this are also what shape resilient ecosystems. Cardano needs ambition. Cardano needs stronger execution for sustainable initiatives. Cardano needs accountability for builders delivering real products with measurable results. The foundation is already here. We all want a better Cardano. Let's work together to build it!

A vote for the @builder__dao is a vote for: 1. The grassroots builders on Cardano. 2. A coordination layer that serves as an unapologetically transparent democratic, informed voter base. 3. A funding mechanism that actually tracks 2030 vision KPIs for everything it funds. 4. A smart contract governed execution layer that is showing delegated executive authority can be achieved in a decentralized domain-specific fashion with dRep oversight. 5. A constantly improving coordination layer that aligns itself with the dReps and the will of the community.

Happy June Bankers! In the spirit of governance season, we wanted to share a progress update for our community! Less than 3 months after receiving @builder__dao funding, BankFi has already delivered on measurable growth throughout our ecosystem. We have: - Launched Portfolio Ratings with Discord integrations & future incentive mechanisms slated for development! - Distributed 32k $NIGHT to holders with another drop planned soon! - Seen 14% MAU growth & 30% TVL growth - Launched 6 Cardano projects through @BankFiPillar, 2 of which being #BackedByBankFi Importantly, 0% of the funding was used for speculative expansion or unnecessary infrastructure. All our growth is due to our proven model, KPI-driven growth, and the support of our amazing community! There's always more being built, and the best is yet to come!
