YoAda is now officially registered as Drep on #Cardano : drep1y26sfka2km0p4xw073ujdq406wxxczhdyfh9vw7yxpfselchzkdjn

Eternl is our best wallet, we have to fund it. #cardano

It’s official. @DraperDragon $80m @OrionFund is open for business. And Draper University is leading the programs that help find and uplift the earliest builders. The fund is built to turn Cardano's technical leadership into global, venture-scaled growth. We are searching for the founders who will drive the next $3b in TVL. > tier 1 first VC check (up to $90k) > elite programming > investor networking > free housing in Silicon Valley > leverage the massive Draper ecosystem in web3 Applications for our first cohort are now open. Link below 👇. @Cardano_CF @Cardano

Four major engineering feats Cardano accomplished in the blockchain space: ✅ Layer 2 scaling capable of 1 MILLION TPS ✅ Proof of Stake self healing Nakamoto Consensus ✅ Full on-chain governance by the Ada Holders ✅ Privacy with selective disclosure Huge thanks to @IOGroup 🫡

$ADA is now included in the new @Nasdaq and @CMEGroup crypto index futures, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other market leaders. The Cardano ecosystem keeps maturing, and Wall Street is noticing.

When #Cardano embraced formal verification, everyone and their dog called it “innovation at the pace of academia” You gotta give credit when it’s due. In hindsight, this was a genius investment. cardano:native is built like a tank.

Cardano is built like a tank 💪

REPOST but to Cardano: Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with @IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement); @emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision. EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself @phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon at Intersect. The community will and must be involved. 2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and @IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met. @Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects. 3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and @FireblocksHQ. 4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk @F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces. @emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts. There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider. Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.

Cardano has used formal verification from Day 1

When times are rough, it's always good to refocus on higher yield! After the successful governance vote, the Diffusion Staking Basket will optimise for higher staking yield, using single SPOs! Currently offering a combined ADA NIGHT annual staking yield of 4%! 🔥

Great Cardano SPO Call today - Notes for June 4th 1. Van Rossem Hard Fork Preparations - Things are looking GREEN for the hard fork - node 11.0.1: SPOs need to upgrade now - Pre-view cost model has worked, Pre-prod in progress - Plutus Cost model is on main net: DReps and CC need to vote - 72% of blocks on main net are now protocol v11 - Ogmios and Kupo are hard fork ready - Hard fork proposal will go on main net after Pre-prod completes successfully - Go / No Go in on June 15th 2. Ouroboros Leois - DevNet is generating a large amount of simulated traffic for testing - Working on improving the mempool to increase throughput - @SundaeSwap is helping put transaction load on the DevNet - High confidence track to deploy Leios to main net eventually, still working on establishing high criteria in security and liveness in preparation for main net. - Need early involvement from community on TSC, Civics committees etc… alignment for eventual main net. Date TBD. - Will take some time to get production ready for mainnet as it is a major protocol upgrade. - Public SPO testnet will launch the last week of June 3. Ensurable Systems Intro @ensurablesys Kevin Hammond - CEO Phillip Kant, Tim Richmond, Duncan Couttes on the team Supporting IO core development of the Cardano protocol, partner chains, security, stability, and growth. Ouroboros Tachys, STAG Red Team. 4. Mithril - Terragone Factory @TeragoneFactory has been involved from the beginning and is still advancing the Mithril protocol as an IO partner. Further developing SPO set up for Mithril providing Cardano state. Working toward availability with IPFS. Setting up an X space to discuss the future vision of Mithril TPD announced later today. 5. Post Quantum from IOR proposal is part of the IO Research. DReps sure to vote to get this approved. CIP-50 and other ballots are on Ekklesia: CIP-163 Time bound delegation discussion CIP-23 Min margin: setting an initial value SPO voting with Calidus Keys DRep voting is in progress.

We are the leaders. 🔥

The fight back for ADA and BTC begins now. ⚔️ We at @SundialProtocol and @CharmsDev are partnering to turn the tides for our ecosystem. I call on you to join! 🫵 Let's build the infrastructure and products that move the market to Cardano Bitcoin.

This will be interesting! Thanks @atriumlab

This is cardano !

We are Cardano. We are going to change the world.

We need Gravity !

Bitcoin keeps its native role across Poguns system. It pays fees on Cardano through a flash loan against the bridged position. It earns yield as collateral in the credit market through the yield layer. It serves as collateral itself, anchored to the specific UTxO, not as a derivative or synthetic. At no step does Bitcoin become something else. That requirement runs through every component. The bridge preserves the locked UTxO as a non-fungible 1:1 representation on Cardano, which can be held by institutions or escrowed for a fungible token without leaving the asset's provenance behind. The credit market accepts either form as collateral directly. The trustless atomic swap layer settles the fungible form back to native Bitcoin peer-to-peer, with cryptographic atomicity. The components were designed against the same requirement, so they fit each other rather than integrate with each other. The bridge's outputs are what the credit market is built to accept. The fungible form produced through escrow is what the trustless atomic swap layer is built to settle. The connections are structural, not glue. The same principle extends outward. The credit market's collateral surface is not limited to assets the bridge produces; it accepts any Cardano native token, including wrapped BTC from other bridges, stablecoins from all issuers, and cross-chain liquidity routed in through protocols like Circle's CCTP. The trustless atomic swap layer is not limited to the fungible token from the middle layer; it works with any wrapped BTC representation on Cardano, including those from federated or multisig bridges. The architecture is open by construction. Every role in the system, from lender to operator, is open to anyone willing to fulfill it. A user moves Bitcoin into Cardano through the bridge, holds it as the collateral form they need, borrows stablecoins against it in the credit market, and exits back to native Bitcoin through the trustless atomic swap layer. No custodian. No federation. No relayer. The cycle closes back to Bitcoin.

I've begun a comprehensive governance review of over 11,000 DAOs and a decade of literature in and out of our space to study executive function, roadmap, and strategy setting. The goal will be to propose some ideas to add new features to Cardano's governance via the constitution and new technology that will resolve much of the conflict we are facing. I'm considering if it is prudent at this point to become a Drep and to host a new mini-convention to get it done in time for the 2027 process. More on this later. #CardanoUnityAndClarity

6 hours and 2.68% to go. Am I witnessing a miracle? 🥹Please, go vote YES on my proposal! We're so close!! adastat.net/governances/73e1…

Il faut souffrir pour la bonne cause 🔥
