Starting 2 years go, you don't lock a single ADA for collateral on SteelSwap. We sponsor it 🫡 We're the first dApp on Cardano to sponsor collateral for our users. No more 5 ADA frozen in your wallet. No more "no collateral found" errors. No setup. You just trade. Here's how it works: every smart contract transaction on Cardano needs a 5 ADA collateral, a kind of "safety deposit". Normally that comes from your wallet. Instead, we keep a pool of ready-made collateral UTxOs on our side and plug one in for you automatically, then recycle it after each trade. One of Cardano's most notorious onboarding papercuts, gone ⏩

Make a better SteelSwap algorithm. Make no mistakes.

He was never a wizard.

There it is, next to Dingo. Elder is vibing.

What matters long term is not short-term market sentiment, but whether an ecosystem continues to build meaningful infrastructure and attract real adoption. Cardano today has: Decentralized Governance operating at scale through CIP-1694 and on-chain voting One of the strongest open-source communities in the industry, with contributors building across research, protocol development, tooling, and applications worldwide Institutional Transparency anchored directly on-chain, where governance actions, treasury activity, and ecosystem operations are publicly verifiable Growing DeFi initiatives including Bifrost by Fluid Tokens Pogun by IOG Sundial Protocol Charms BTC Karma Expanding RWA and digital identity infrastructure through projects like Veridian and tokenization initiatives across multiple regions Global public/private sector collaborations spanning education, telecommunications, digital identity, and blockchain infrastructure Examples of transparent on-chain activity already visible today include: DRep registrations and governance actions Treasury withdrawals and constitutional committee activity Ecosystem and partner network activity Native asset issuance and RWA directly on London Stock Exchange 20.000 farmers in India combining satellite data, identity, education and industry Everything verifiable. Everything auditable. Built in public. The work continues.

Never let someone with an empty contribution graph tell you how to participate.

After three years of building for Cardano, today we have difficult news to share. Most of you know and love SteelSwap for being the most advanced aggregator on Cardano with the cheapest fees. We have been in continuous operations and kept alive on conviction and love of the ecosystem. Thus, we would like to announce that we are not going anywhere. Times are tough, but we are tougher. Instead, we are doubling down. We are actively working on new products and features. Keep an eye out for the new things we are building.

Earlier today, the SteelSwap Aggregator experienced no issues affecting orders routed through Splash. Splash changed its batcher fee (from 1 ADA to 2 ADA). We were not aware of the change beforehand, but this had no impact on SteelSwap operations because SteelSwap bypasses Splash batchers, so you only pay transaction fees. Since there was no issue: ✅ SteelSwap had no downtime ✅ Your funds are safe as usual ✅ No orders were lost If you have a pending Splash order, we recommend using SteelSwap for all your future swaps so you are not caught in this position ever again. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This should be a warning sign.

SteelSwap DeFi / DEX Aggregator Cardano's advanced DEX aggregator, users can swap tokens with optimal routing across multiple DEXs/pools for best prices and low fees (0-1 ADA, no fees for single-DEX routes), view detailed swap previews, split large trades (e.g., stablecoins via multiple paths like USDM → ADA direct USDM → USDA → ADA) to minimize slippage/fees, and save on batcher costs by combining routes in one transaction. @SteelSwap steelswap.io/swap

Compounding in this market is a skill, not a meme. 💎 Over the next 2 weeks I am sharing real trades and real screenshots on Cardano so anyone can learn how to rotate and compound step by step 💎 Phase 1 is USDM to ADA and ADA to USDM 💎 Phase 2 expands into USDM to NIGHT and NIGHT to ADA How I run it: 💎 I use ChatGPT with live price screenshots so I can calculate true cost basis, fees, and net edge before I click confirm 💎 I route swaps through @SteelSwap because execution matters and low fees plus strong routing increases your margin 💎 I use @DeltaDeFi for orderbook style execution so you can see price and size clearly before you take the fill, what you see is what you get The goal is simple: 💎 Teach regular users how to use solid Cardano dapps plus an LLM to level up understanding and confidence 💎 Show how to think in clips, depth, and discipline so you do not get wrecked by size Educational only, not financial advice. Risk is real. Start small and stay disciplined. @SteelSwap @DeltaDeFi #Cardano #USDM #ADA #NIGHT #DeFi

Educational only, not financial advice. Start small, stay disciplined, and use screenshots to keep yourself honest. Price of Usdm at the time was .9576, if usdm is over 1.00 just do this in reverse to create the arb ending with more usdm at the end instead of ada. Compounding on Cardano is a skill, not a meme. 💎 Open @SteelSwap and set the pair ADA to USDM, then stop on the Preview screen 💎 From Preview, record 5 numbers: ADA pay gross, USDM receive, batcher fee in ADA, SteelSwap fee in ADA, deposit returned in ADA if shown 💎 Compute your true ADA cost basis: Net ADA spent = ADA pay gross batcher fee Steel Swap fee minus deposit returned 💎 Compute your Steel Swap cost basis price: Steel Swap buy price = USDM receive ÷ Net ADA spent 💎 Execute the SteelSwap swap 💎 Immediately open @DeltaDeFi ADAUSDM and read the order book depth before you do anything else 💎 Choose a clip size that fits inside the top few ask levels, if the ask ladder is thin do not recycle the full USDM at once 💎 On DeltaDeFi, use Buy ADA with USDM and set a limit cap for a quick fill: add up the red ask sizes from best ask upward until the total ADA covers your clip, then cap at the highest ask price you need to sweep for that clip 💎 Place the order and let it fill 💎 After fill, compute profit for that clip: ADA net received = ADA gross bought minus taker fee in ADA, ADA basis = USDM spent ÷ Steel Swap buy price, Profit ADA = ADA net received minus ADA basis, Profit percent = Profit ADA ÷ ADA basis ✅ Example from the graphic Steel Swap Preview: USDM received 3597.175183, ADA pay gross 10000, batcher fee 6.03 ADA, Steel Swap fee 1 ADA, deposit returned 8 ADA, Net ADA spent 10007.03, Steel Swap buy price 0.3594648 USDM per ADA ✅ Example loop on a 1000 ADA DeltaDeFi clip assuming 0.10% taker fee charged in ADA received: clip costs 351.9043 USDM, ADA net received 999.0, ADA basis 351.9043 ÷ 0.3594648 = 978.9673 ADA, Profit 20.0327 ADA, Profit percent 2.0463% ⚠️ Size is the boss: the edge is only real for the portion of the book you can buy back without sweeping too high and compressing the spread ⚠️ The safe method is multiple smaller DeltaDeFi clips sized to visible depth Note: I am not an expert, I used chat gpt pro ($20 a month) then took screen shots and fed it into gpt. Familiarize yourself with steelswap (always set to 0.1% slippage) Familiarize yourself with DeltaDefi on how the head works, moving in and out of the head via transfers, then if you have any questions please dm I will walk you thru the process from start to finish. this particular trade was done over a 24 hr period and netted over 2% (educational only) if you could do that 3 times a week for 52 weeks you would net 3120 ada. @SteelSwap @DeltaDeFi #Cardano #USDM #ADA #DeFi #Arbitrage

If you're looking to get more from your stablecoin trades, check out this hack. With @SundaeSwap new stableswap pools it works even better. If you want to buy or sell large amounts of a stablecoin, consider buying multiple stablecoins with ADA and then converting each one to the stablecoin of choice. For example, if you have 50k USDM, consider converting half of it to USDA and then to ADA. The low slippage of and fees of Sundaes new stableswap make the loss to slippage and fees nominal relative to the higher fees and slippage of directly swapping all USDM to ADA. Doing this, you would do the following: 1. 25k USDM -> ADA 2. 25k USDM -> USDA -> ADA If you do the above, you make an extra 1200 ADA, even accounting for fees. These effects are largely because of the commitment of Sundaes new stableswap pool to the original Curve idea of keeping stablecoin transactions at low slippage and low fees to encourage higher volumes.
