Look what arrived today. Can't believe we made it into one of Switzerlands most important finance newspapers talking about Agent Payments with Masumi 😅

Not to be hard-selling and putting pressure on Dreps... BUT! I genuinely hope that more Dreps throw a YES vote towards the 5am proposal. This is the type of real-world use case we were always supposed to be solving for with Cardano - and why I first came around. Worth it I say!

Very interesting DRep voting analysis by Yuta 👀👇

Stoked to see all the positive reactions on the TL about this announcement. Thought I'd give you the inside scoop from the guy whose job it is to bring Cardano to this table. I wear suits when I need to, but the pfp stays on forever. Get your cuppa, this is an actual read! ☕️ TLDR: 5 years of Cardano x UNDP work just crystallised into a Blockchain Advisory Group launch with @CardanoFoundation as a founding member, a flagship 42-use-case report, and 21 Cardano-linked solutions running live with UNDP on the ground. The thread breaks each one down on scale, on-chain activity, and business model. The bigger question - how pilots become procurement, how this gets funded and governed at scale - that answer is coming. I've been working with UN agencies since 2021. The hype cycle was running hot. Back then, every institution wanted to "do blockchain." Most hit the same walls: marketing stunts, shelved pilots, glorified databases, or emotional/philosophical dismissal. The ones that stayed in the game - learned, iterated, built - are now sitting on something genuinely valuable. @UNDP did that. Specifically @UNDP_AltFinLab is the clearest example. A rare pocket of institutional freedom to explore alternative finance seriously. Their theory of change runs three layers deep: Awareness → Capacity → Acceleration Research and publications. Events. The Blockchain Academy. And at the centre: the SDG Blockchain Accelerator. The Cardano treasury seed funded that Accelerator in @Catalyst_onX F13 (regardless of the CF vote btw). Not charity. A calculated bet that building both sides of a market - builders who understand procurement-grade requirements, institutions that understand blockchain - was worth funding directly from the community's own resources. That bet is compounding. Pilot & commercial opportunities are coming to the cohort. The Accelerator is now multichain. Cohort 3 is coming. Graduates are building real things with real traction post-acceleration. It also produced "New Tech, New Partners" - UNDP's flagship blockchain report. 42 real-world use cases. Prefaced by the boss of UNDP himself. When UNDP publishes something like that, every public-sector organisation & government on earth takes notice. Yes Cardano community. You made this happen. You seeded the movement bc you're a blockchain with a purpose. The BAG launch last week formalises what was already forming: a structured advisory relationship between UNDP and the blockchain industry. @CardanoFoundation at the table from day one - not by asking to be there, but because the track record got us invited there. The questions that matter now: → How do successful pilots move into institutional procurement? → How do UN agencies building blockchain programmes stop duplicating and start collaborating? → How is this funded, governed, implemented at scale? Pilotitis isn't solved by better pilots. It's solved by building both sides of the market - with capital and political will behind the gap between pilot and procurement. We're working on that answer. More soon. Now a nice thread: every Cardano-linked pilot solution featured in "New Tech, New Partners" - starting with the two that have broken out of the pack 👇 we be global & onchain 🌍🌎🌏 PS: some of these pilots were built by web2 & web3 onboarded onto cardano!

Cardano Stacks Major Wins in May Cardano (@Cardano) says May was one of its most active months yet. Key developments included regulated $ADA futures on CME Group, a three year partnership with the Brazilian Olympic Committee, and 20 governance actions running simultaneously. The ecosystem is also preparing for another hard fork as development activity accelerates. The Foundation said institutional adoption continues to gain momentum.

Greetings from the Serviceplan headquarters in Munich. Things to be discussed, deals to be made. Let's go Masumi.

The Unified Global Events Marketing Strategy was designed to help us bring the Cardano brand to the whole world. Supported by Treasury funding, and in collaboration with @emurgo_io, @IntersectMBO, and @RareNetworkWeb3, we worked to bring heightened visibility not just to Cardano, but to 76 ecosystem projects. Comprising 20 distinct events, this strategy ensured we could bring a united vision of Cardano to events in Rio, Nairobi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Miami, Paris and more. The results are in, and we exceeded all major KPIs. Because Cardano is stronger when we stand together.

Cardano projects, presenting real solutions at the German Parliament. 🇩🇪 We were at the @Bundestag yesterday alongside @Padierfind, who presented @MasumiNetwork's AI agent marketplace, and why they chose to build on Cardano. Strong moment for Cardano. Let's keep building.

solid “why @wormhole 🤝 @cardano” must read for all dreps cc: @yutazzz @phil_uplc this is a great follow up to our earlier convo

Yesterday the maybe most unexpected moment of my professional career so far happened. I was invited to the German Parliament to speak at a panel about Agent-To-Agent Payments using Blockchain. An absolutely unreal moment. The room was packed with politician & businesses. I spoke about our work with Masumi, the work with Serviceplan, how companies are hiring & selling agents on our agent marketplace today already and why we chose to build on Cardano. Big shout-out and thanks to Bundesblock and Member of Parliament Marvin Schulz.

Incredible excited and proud about the @trivolvetech team for having rounded 100.000 tx on Cardano. It secures human rights and protects the population with a Forensic Management System secured by Cardano

Do you need a trusted third party anymore? The answer is no. When proof of correctness lives inside the transaction itself, anyone can verify it. No middlemen, no blind trust. Charles on verifiable reflexivity, the idea behind everything we build

Hate all you want, but Charles knows how to build & where the industry is headed. Give the man the keys 🔑 to the kitchen & let him cook 🧑🏼‍🍳 🔥
