Strike is single handedly carrying Cardano on its back. Has @IOHK_Charles ever said thank you to them? He should be worshipping at their feet, begging for them to never leave. News flash: Strike is already connected to Ethereum and Solana.

BREAKING NEWS 👀 @strikeperps introduces $STRIKE NEWS

This is a difficult one. No funding for @eternlwallet means the team will need around 5,000 users to purchase PRO subscriptions to sustain development for another year. If that support doesn’t materialise, the wallet won’t disappear, but development will be scaled back, and Eternl will enter maintenance mode until better times. Eternl reportedly has around 130,000 installations across browsers, iOS and Android. It remains one of Cardano’s most widely used wallets, yet its future development is now uncertain. The irony isn’t lost on me. I reluctantly abstained from their funding proposal while using Eternl to submit the vote. Many of you support my YT channel by buying me a coffee. When that time comes, you may also need to buy Marcel a few coffees.

Shamrock Pool fully upgraded ready for the Cardano hard fork

Not sure crashing out is what @bigpey and @astroboysoup are doing, I do get a power grab energy rather then a proof of community, proof of activity and proof of support “within” Cardano. @jasonappleton has a unique flare for the dramatic but because of his lack of involvement here in Cardano is off track here a bit. x.com/blockjock2017/status/2…

If you want a Drep that isn't going to crash out anytime soon, has been in Cardano since 2017 and genuinely cares about the mission of Cardano and Midnight, I'm here for you. Or, become a Drep yourself and get involved! drep1ytfwpmt2fvdnyvlswyjyggpf8alwkpm7ha6cua9nsak525ssmvm57

Going to hide behind Charles moderation skirts is not the answer. This is crypto. Be your own bank. Not your keys, not your crypto. When did we shift responsibility from self-moderation and control to asking Daddy to take care of it for us? Don't like the troll accounts? Block them and move on with your day. Every discord/forum/controlled point of conversation is littered with people who got banned/silenced/booted or otherwise moderated as soon as they said something that the moderation team found unacceptable. Shouldn't it be on us to decide which voices and channels we listen to or silence/mute? If moving to discord is the right place for Charles to interact because he needs that safe space for himself. Great. It's disingenuous to suggest that will be/is the "home" of the Cardano community and is the only place that "governance" and other discussions are allowed to happen under the threat of moderation. The Cardano community exists across the spectrum; there are already hundreds of Discords, Telegram, WhatsApp, Forums, YouTube, local and regional channels where people choose where to go to find and discuss information relative to Cardano.

This Aave integration enables a lot of things. Next week you will be able to deposit this into the vault to earn double yield. Soon after that a guaranteed baseline yield for everyone that deposit into the vault. After that we will allow people to earn yield everywhere on Strike.... No matter if they put it into the vault or not. More details soon......

I want to give a shout to some legends of the ecosystem. @blockjock2017 @W3i_CEO @iamwilco @eddie_d123 @phil_uplc @Quantumplation @ILikeCardano @rvcas @amw7 I hold you all in high regard.

Killer Dapp!!!!!!! Wow;-)

There has been a lot of discussion around treasury spending, sell pressure, Cardano going to zero, and comparisons to Polkadot. So let's look at what actually happened to Polkadot, what Cardano can learn from it, and where I think people are getting it wrong👇

Nerds assemble

#Cardano fam, this is extremely concerning! I’m literally only 1 of 3 DReps that has ADOPTION as my voting priority!! Combined the 3 of us have about 1.5% of voting power. NOTHING. This has to change. Building a technologically incredible blockchain that has ZERO use will serve no one. We need USERS and PURPOSE. Please take this to heart. The alarm bells are ringing. $ADA @CardanoFeed

Intent of the day is “Selfless Cooperation”

The first round of treasury approvals sends a clear message about the kind of ecosystem we want to build. These 11 approved proposals aren't just line items on a spreadsheet. They represent investments in the infrastructure, tooling, governance, and services that Cardano needs to thrive over the coming decades. 🔹 Stronger infrastructure through TxPipe, Mithril, and hardware wallet support 🔹 Better developer experiences that reduce friction and accelerate innovation 🔹 Real-world adoption through initiatives like Wirex and governance coordination 🔹 Long-term sustainability through milestone-based funding and accountability 🔹 Community empowerment through transparent stewardship of treasury resources Just as important is how we manage the treasury. A non-cyclical treasury philosophy means thinking in decades, not quarters. It means resisting boom-and-bust spending cycles and focusing on responsible capital allocation that maximizes impact over time. One approach worth exploring is the use of stable coins during the milestone process. By reducing volatility between approval and payment, we can protect purchasing power, improve budget certainty for builders, and ensure treasury resources go further. The goal isn't simply to spend treasury funds. The goal is to transform treasury resources into lasting public goods that strengthen Cardano for future generations. Responsibility today. Prosperity tomorrow. Legacy forever.

Here’s a concise Pro X post to go with the updated graphic: I voted in the CIWG — RSS v2 Parameter Signal ballot. These changes may sound technical, but they directly affect staking rewards, pool competitiveness, governance participation, and long-term decentralization. 🔷 CIP-50: YES Pledge should matter. This helps reduce under-pledged / split-pool advantages while supporting healthier decentralization. 🔷 Initial L parameter: 1000 This is the best balance in my view — meaningful pledge, but not a whale-only system. 🔷 CIP-163: YES Inactive wallets should not keep rewards and governance power forever. 🔷 delegator Inactivity preference: Less than 146 epochs / under 2 years A shorter proof-of-life window helps keep staking and governance participation current. 🔷 minPoolMargin preference: 1% A low variable fee floor is fairer for delegators and smaller pools, especially while minPoolCost still exists. 🔷 Why this matters to ADA holders: These settings help shape decentralization, fee fairness, reward distribution, and governance accuracy over time. Bottom line: 🔷 Make pledge matter 🔷 Keep fees fair 🔷 Reward active participation 🔷 Protect long-term decentralization @Cerkoryn @earncoinpool

The Rewards Sharing Scheme v2 ballot by the Cardano Incentives Working Group is now live on Ekklesia! If you are a dRep or SPO you are eligible to vote on these proposals. See the thread below for the link and for more information 👇🧵

Thanks @IOHK_Charles. We both agree there is a place for X but we also agree that moving to Discord where we can have proper discourse about the future of Cardano is the way forward. Cardano is and always will be a welcoming place but the community deserves our focus to be on building the future and not engaging on the relentless and endless re-litigation of passed decisions or actions that have little to no bearing on the forward direction. I’ve also spoken with @F_Gregaard who also welcomes this change of venue as we all believe it will result in a more coherent, transparent and aligned vision for Cardano. We look forward to seeing you there. More details to come. 🙂
