After all the drama, who is ready for some excitement? Introducing Bullet! Bullet is an intention-based account abstraction tool for Cardano. I know that sounds like a word salad so let me just tell you the important details you care about.

The "constrained" workflows (not necessarily ultracode) that companies use to produce working products with models is as valuable as the models themselves. These workflows aren't necessarily hands off no one views the code. They are tight, repeatable units of work.

look, they had a nice run, killed hundreds of millions of people, but it's time to gene drive mosquitoes out of existence. fuck it, ticks too.

Mithril needs to be included in the node itself, with an optional configuration you can explicit set to disable participation. There should be no concept of Mithril adoption, no work / effort to onboard SPOs to participate, no work to figure out an economic incentivization mechanism for participation, all of which would be the case if we ship it inside the next node release.

@Cardano_CF Please reconsider the NO vote on the Plutus proposal. After reading the rationale, I think several points misunderstand the scope and impact of the work: The proposed features are strictly additive. Existing languages and tooling can continue operating on the current Plutus version without immediate changes. This is not forced breakage for downstream compilers; a significant amount of engineering effort goes into preserving that compatibility. Most proposed builtins are performance-oriented. The community has consistently asked for cheaper execution, better script efficiency, and higher-throughput smart contracts. Several of these proposals also originate from community-driven CIP discussions, which reflects clear ecosystem demand for the capabilities these builtins provide. Plinth is not just “one language’s tooling.” It also serves as a reference implementation for Plutus. Improvements there help clarify semantics, surface edge cases, and provide guidance that other ecosystem tools can rely on. ZK builtins are not feature bloat. Without them, many ZK applications are either impossible or only feasible in a very limited form on Cardano. If we want Cardano to support serious zero-knowledge cryptographic applications, these builtins are necessary. Budget transparency and downstream coordination may be worth discussing, but they should not be conflated with the technical value of the proposal itself. This proposal strengthens the foundations of Plutus and expands what developers can realistically build on Cardano, which I believe is essential if Cardano is going to remain competitive with smart contract environments of other blockchains.

All Dreps, I ask you to vote YES on this proposal! It might seem like a boring proposal, but the ROI after this is delivered is immediate. The past improvements showed this. For those who voted NO, please reconsider your vote. Plutus is not done; we can improve so much more.
~1M Plutus scripts run on-chain every month. The Plutus proposal targets a ~30% avg cost reduction for Plutus users, while expanding language capabilities, improving security, correctness, conformance, and developer tooling. Vote for the proposal: iog.io/news/enhancing-plutus

Call to action, DReps! Please consider voting yes for the IO Plutus proposal. Whether you voted already or not, reading this thread is kindly appreciated 🙇 (and worth it 😉). In my opinion, this proposal is vital and of high impact/ROI. I'll explain it with examples! 🧵 (1/10)

We are using Blaster for formal verification of the Midnight governance contracts on Cardano. Make sure to vote for the IO proposals

CIP 42: serialiseData built-in The need for this built-in came from Hydra, as it needed to hash plutus data on-chain for its fanout, but many projects use it today for weird tricks (@MicroProofs can show you 😉). Credits to both @_KtorZ_ and @ch1bo_ on this!👏 (4/10)

In this day and age, a LLMs worth is not in features or apps it can one shot nor in the plans it can generate. It's in the questions it uses to interview you. Everything else, from the understanding you have to the plan it makes, is downstream of what a LLM asked you.

Literally how I saw Dave framing it over and over. A way bridge only so that fees for going back to Cardano could gouge bridgers. So I fired back with what I'm working on. I was ignored anyway by the mob lol
For the third time now because people are purposely moving the goal post, The implication was not we would start with a one-way bridge. The implication was there would only ever be a one-way bridge and this was done as a business decision to harm Cardano. It was then used as justification to begin an investigation of midnight.

What you posted was not a concern or question, it was a statement, if you posted a question or concern that would be fine, they could clarify it, it wouldn’t cause drama and cause the community to grab their pitchforks and crucify Midnight, and no one would be upset. Instead we see a string of posts about how you hate Midnight and you’re here for Cardano only all with the subtext that Midnight isn’t a project on Cardano and is instead some competitor.

This needs repeating for all the people that are trying to farm drama off news instead of building. I build on both Cardano and Midnight what about you?

It will be operational as soon as it's ready and audited?? If you are so confused why are you making bold statements without actually talking to people involved. Instead you proclaim it's unidirectional as a fact, ignoring the current stream of work I'm doing.

Some guys want to be right so bad, get that haha I got you moment, that they say things in direct contradiction to the contracts I have written and the ongoing coordination I have with others at Shielded to make it so that when you bridge from midnight to Cardano you have the
I think it's fairly correct, it boils down to, there will be a trustless bridge to Midnight but not from Midnight. To move assets from Midnight we will need to use a third party provider and trust them and likely pay the large fee they ask. This is in the white paper too.

Option of taking Midnight state and creating a valid transaction interacting with a smart contract to withdraw your own Night funds.
