Night token claims for air-gapped wallets Thanks @ATADA_Stakepool for cardano-signer! youtu.be/4Wx8kl19Biw

Yesterday I bought stickers using ADA through Konduit at a Bitcoin Lightning point of sale. The ability to spend ADA anywhere Bitcoin Lightning is accepted is a powerful example of how blockchain ecosystems can work together to create better user experiences. The future of payments won't be about one chain winning. It will be about making digital assets useful in everyday life.

Buiders, dApps, Protocols and SPOs are being onboarded to be BIFROST ready 😤 After only 2 days: → 1 Project has already applied → 22 SPOs will be securing the Bitcoin <> Cardano bridge Best part? They will get our help to integrate BIFROST into their dApp and smart contracts for FREE

Couldn't swipe to go back most of the time #NewXAndroidFeedback

We’re making sure that SPOs will earn additional rewards by participating in the BIFROST flow: → Additional rewards beyond standard staking → Help secure the Bitcoin<>Cardano bridge → We support you through the onboarding process Tag your SPO below and make sure they apply and create their social image here ⬇️ bifrost.fluidtokens.com/join

Took the weekend to think about the path forward and the team and I have come to a simple conclusion: We aren't ready to give up on Cardano. My post went viral and I had people from all chains and walks of life reaching out. My DMs were crazy. Most very positive. Some of it, madly inspiring. The main take away though was that people still believe in us, and Cardano. Huge thank you to everyone who reached out. We had multiple parties volunteer to front the 100k ADA for the direct treasury proposal. This is the Cardano I invested my life into. The Cardano of old, where people had each others backs and we were unified. I felt that again this weekend. This community is undeniable. Let's lock in our direction and find something we can all get excited about again. I ain't hear no bell 😤 Updated proposal dropping Soon™

After seeing some Cardano projects and KOLs stop I decided to relaunch my stake pool. The Dutch Stake Pool TDSP is back and here to stay. So if your ADA is looking for a new home stake to TDSP. I still believe in Cardano. 0% fees Mithril signer and Icebreaker node. Web site is undergoing some updated governance % are not correct.

We also submitted a PCP to the Parameters Committee to reduce min fee to 75 until it can be replaced by min margin in hardfork next year. The parameter committee approved and the gov action to reduce to 75 is coming soon, that's why it's not on the ballot

📢Attention SPOs and dReps only a couple days left to vote on Incentives Ballot. Voting ends June 15th app.ekklesia.vote

@EdnStuff How would you feel about instead of a huge wave of 90 proposals all at once, once per year, we had a slow trickle of roughly 1 proposal per epoch instead? When we designed governance, the idea was that delegators could redelegate if their dRep votes differently than they like. But if we force a vote on everything all at once then delegators lose the ability to pick and choose dReps by proposal. Additionally, we have a drepActivity parameter that will switch a dRep from implicit NO to implicit ABSTAIN if they haven't voted on anything for 20 epochs. However, if we don't have anything to vote on for 20 epochs then this will likely cause problems by marking dReps as inactive when they shouldn't be. And of course it should not be forgotten that voting on everything all at once causes extreme voting fatigue and likely lowers the actual quality of proposal reviews. A slow trickle of things to vote on one at a time would be much more manageable IMHO.

@LallyMcClay @HephyPool Is it possible now that the Intersect Budget ballot is over, to have Intersect put out a post about the Incentives Ballot? Voting for SPOs and dReps ends June 15th for the Incentives ballot. Thank you 🙏 app.ekklesia.vote/

📢 Time to vote on Incentive changes that could affect all SPOs and delegators, voting ends June 15th. So far only 7️⃣5️⃣ SPOs or dReps have voted, over 1.2 Billion in ADA If your SPO or dRep hasn't voted please ask them to vote app.ekklesia.vote/voter-dire…

SPO costs are the thing I kept coming back to in this @Tweagio conversation. Peras gets us faster finality, but a busier chain usually means heavier nodes. If observability tooling, history expiry, and rollout safety don't land at the same time, smaller pools end up paying for the upgrade in storage and ops time. The interesting move from Tweag is treating the whole rollout as one delivery pipeline rather than five separate research grants. Forces the dependencies to be planned together. Wonder how many DReps are weighing the operator side before they vote.

Cardano needs Peras. Midnight needs Peras. Future partner chains need Peras. @IOHK_Charles recently explained that without Peras, a bidirectional bridge could mean waiting around 12 hours for cross-chain transfers. With Peras, that will be reduced to minutes. This isn't just about Midnight, It's about giving Cardano the fast finality needed for a multi-chain future. @tweagio currently has a proposal live to bring Peras to mainnet. VOTE YES⬇️

Hey Cardano SPOs! 🚨 As part of our first homework assignment for the @midnightfdn Build Club, we need your voice. This is a very quick survey, but the insights you provide are incredibly valuable as we lay the groundwork for a truly decentralized, cross-chain ecosystem. Your input directly shapes how our networks will seamlessly collaborate and thrive together. Please take two minutes to fill it out, and please share this widely across the Cardano SPO ecosystem: 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… Your voice matters! Thank you for helping🙏 Let's build the future together! 🚀 #Cardano #BuildClub #NodeOperators #AliitFellowship #Midnight

Really sad to see this. The day @se7en_labs released the updated Daedalus - hard fork ready and with Mithril bootstrapping built-in (finally showcasing a Mithril use case to retail and axing setup times) was genuinely one of the biggest feel good events amongst all the negativity recently. Downvoting the only full node wallet we have and refusing to add custom tx submit api support into Yoroi/Secondfi after years of requesting it, is about as low on the Cypherpunk scale as you can get tbh.

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 👇🧵

In our weekly FLUID Pool Q&A, we discussed the current parameter ballots on Ekklesia. The major takeaway is that it is a privilege to have a voice in these things. Cardano is special! app.ekklesia.vote/.

GM Cardano Real mainnet tx, real impact, real delivery. This is what we all want right? Incredible strides transforming 000's of farmers industrial approaches, But to scale your support is needed Cardano DReps. If I was a DRep this is something I would be behind, all day long. Another of the @Catalyst_onX early success stories that now needs the next stage support to scale 👀@yutazzz @SIPO_Tokyo @btbfpark @ArmyofSpies @ItsDave_ADA @learncardano @JaromirTesar @Cardano_CF

Is this a brand new discord? There’s already Cardano discord - worth rejuvenating that space instead, if so?
