🏆 Cardano Summit 2023 Awards 🎊 Congratulations to the winners in the category Developer or Developer Tools 👏 @txpipe_tools 👏 @StricaHQ #CardanoSummit2023 #CardanoCommunity

👀 Early support for Conway primitives in Pallas: github.com/txpipe/pallas/pul… A big step in the path for #Rust tooling and libraries that integrate with #Cardano governance actions. ♥️ contributors: @hrpr, lisicky (github)

Maestro placed 1st in the Battle of the Builders #cardanosummit2023 The competition was fierce. There were so many brilliant, innovative projects, and we were simply happy to take part. We are truly humbled by this experience and want to thank our fellow competitors.

Dear #Cardano community! We've submitted several proposals for Project Catalyst Fund 10! 🥳 Our mission is to usher Cardano into the mainstream by offering the most advanced dApp developer platform and empower YOU the community to build better, faster, and easier. #Fund10 🧵👇

Oura is an #OpenSource project built with the effort of several contributors from the #CardanoCommunity. This release includes contributions from: @skb64855314, 4TT1L4 (github), @rc_morano, @hrpr, @rvcas, @santicarmuega

Join me and @CanonicalLLC next week to talk about smart contract and Cardano security, as well as topics such as MEV, the mempool, batchers, bug bounty, opensource, etc...

Whitehat satya0x reported a critical vulnerability in @wormholecrypto on Feb 24 via Immunefi. The bug was quickly patched, no user funds were affected, and satya0x received a $10 million payout from Wormhole, the largest bounty payout on record. medium.com/immunefi/wormhole…

I'm proud to formally introduce @txpipe_tools, a small team committed to contribute to the #CardanoCommunity by building open source tools and infrastructure for developers. The new home for @Oura_project, Scrolls, Pallas and many more to come🤞 txpipe.io

It is a small coup that fairness is so associated with "fair ordering" / time based ordering There is no single notion of "fair." These protocols privilege a different set of actors and MEV extraction is a different "game" to play on them Disclaimer: personal views

There's no such thing as a "closed-source decentralised exchange". Interested to hear your thoughts - am I missing something? Here's mine: hrpr.uk/2022/02/10/closed-so… #Cardano #ADA

New write-up: Assuming Temporary Staking Control of Funds Sent from Cardano Validator Scripts (MuesliSwap, SpaceBudz Market, jpg(dot)store affected) medium.com/adamant-security/…

In reality SPOs have always full control over transaction ordering, not exposing the API of the tx management is just wishful thinking, in reality you can always patch the node, hook up debugger to it or find some other way, to order, prioritize, or exclude transactions in block.

I would rather buy on an open-source marketplace than on any closed source one. Reason one I can verify what is going to happen, reason two I know the dApp is contributing to the ecosystem with the open-source code (especially important in the early days now).
