Please redelegate to another new stake pool. Ozzy-pool is retiring!! #CardanoCommunity #cardano

🚨 @ozzy_pool delegators, OZZY pool has issued its retirement certificate and will retire at the end of this epoch. Please move to another pool. You haven't been earning rewards for a while now at 100% margin but this is a definitive call to move. HEPHY would be grateful for your consideration. Supporting additional services including: - Mithril - @blockfrost_io Icebreakers - SanchoNet #Cardano #CardanoCommunity $ADA

Met OZZY pool at my first IRL #Cardano meetup in London. If delegators are looking for a fellow UK-based pool HEPHY would be happy to have you. An active pool, running over 3 years on mainnet, ADA holder since 2018. Mithril Signer and Blockfrost Icebreaker too #CardanoCommunity

📢 @ozzy_pool wants to retire and has set pool margin to 100% if you are an OZZY delegator please move your stake to another pool! Good candidates would be SPEC and any pool in the singlepoolalliance.net/ @CardanoSPA

A reminder to all ozzy delegators. We aim to retire the pool, so please can you redelegate to another stake pool. There are many incredible pools within the ecosystem. @IOHK_Charles would you mind sharing this please.

🚨 PSA: OZZY delegators you are no longer receiving rewards. 1044 delegators and ~8,579,532 ₳. The pool has increased its margin to 100% and they have expressed their desire to retire. It's been a month since their last post so here's a reminder #Cardano $ADA #CardanoCommunity

Ozzy have increased margin fees to 100% to encourage all delegators to redelegate to other pools prior to us retiring. Please redelagate!

📢 Remember @ozzy_pool is retiring. They moved their margin to 100% to encourage delegators to redelegate to other pools. Please support single pool operators when you redelegate 🙏

Ozzy will be retiring as of this week, please can all delegators redelegate to another pool. Thank you for everyone's support over the past few years, it's been an incredible journey and we will be forever greatful. #cardano

First of all we would like to thank each and every ozzy delegator for your incredible support over the past 4 years. It's honestly been the most amazing adventure. Sadly, ozzy will be winding down as an operator over the next few months. We will gradually increase pool margin over the next few epochs to encourage people to move on. Please continue to support community driven pools where possible. We will still be in the community and continue to support projects that are driving innovation in the space. This decision wasn't easy, but as a family it's right for us at this time. We will update you all prior to retiring the pool, as we don't want delegtors to miss out on rewards. Thank you all.

Looks like the CF account got hacked. Try harder hackers

Aiken is a modern programming language and toolchain for developing smart contracts on #Cardano. It draws inspiration from various modern languages, like Gleam, Rust, and Elm, renowned for their friendly error messages and an overall excellent developer experience. Input | Output CEO @IOHK_Charles shares his thoughts on how Aiken fits into the family of languages now available for the #CardanoCommunity in this #RareEvo24 panel discussion with @giozzi, CTO at @Cardano_CF, and moderated by @jj_siler, Input | Output Chief of Staff.

Hello, Chang. 🎉A new era is here. Learn more: iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2024/0… #Cardano

"With blockchains, we don’t have leaders; instead, we all come together as a community and decide on doing things." @IOHK_Charles #Cardano's latest upgrade, Chang, marks the beginning of a transformative era—Voltaire. This is more than just a hard fork, it’s the next evolution of a decentralized governance system powered by collective intelligence. 🧵

The results are in... After completing audits we are excited to confirm the interim Constitutional Committee 🙌 See the results ➡️ bit.ly/3zleViJ Thank you once again to all 21 candidates for standing and putting yourself forward, and congratulations to the winners.

It looks like June will be the month that Cardano Node will reach 9.0. This means that Cardano is Chang fork ready and waiting for 70 percent of the SPOs to install the new node. Then, a hard fork can occur pushing Cardano into the Age of Voltaire. It's the most significant milestone in the history of Cardano and for the industry as a whole. Cardano will be a decentralized civilization spanning the entire world with millions of residents. We'll have the most advanced blockchain governance system, annual budgets, a treasury, and the wisdom of our entire community to guide us. It's been nearly ten years for some of us on this remarkable journey. I can't believe that in a single decade, we built a nation. I'm proud of all of you. Cardano gives me hope for our industry and the world. Let's spend the next decade making a big dent in the universe.

We are thrilled to announce that Dquadrant has been entrusted with the critical task of conducting the Cardano Chang Hard Fork testing. This assignment underscores our commitment to ensuring the highest quality of work, building on our success with previous major hard fork tests. We extend our gratitude to Intersect and IOI for their continued trust, inspired by our track record and the detailed execution plan presented. Our mission is to verify that all required functionalities are in place and performing as expected, including those from earlier versions of Plutus. This extensive testing process includes: - Plutus V3 cost plan testing (new primitives introduced for Chang) - Plutus V3 regression testing (back to V1, covering CIPs and signatures, reference script uplifting) - Benchmarking V2 vs V3 (transaction size, memory requirements and performance) - Hardware and software wallet testing (governance actions, ensuring no disruption to existing wallet functionalities) - Cardano Ledger API testing - Load testing for governance actions (committee, DRep, voting, and delegation) - DReps, votes, and delegation testing (including negative scenarios) - DApp testing (simulating concurrent users) - Mass testing "delegate-to-abstain" - Guardrails testing - And much more ... Additionally, we have introduced three new proposals for Catalyst Fund 12, aimed at advancing the Cardano ecosystem: 1. A scalable multi-sig/DAO on Plutus V3 cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea… 2. Extending Cardano Mempool Explorer for user-level analytics cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea… 3. KuberIDE 2.0 audit readiness module, preparing your smart contract for audit cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea… We invite you to support our initiatives by voting for our proposals or staking with the JUNO stake pool. Your support helps us continue to contribute to the growth and stability of the Cardano network. Thank you for your support, team Dquadrant @InputOutputHK @Cardano_CF @IOHK_Charles @timbharrison @benohanlon @cardano_whale @InputEndorsers

IOG continues turning academic research into practical benefits. The latest example is Ouroboros Genesis, a series of enhancements to the already robust Ouroboros consensus protocol, with countermeasures to protect a network node when it is new or returning after an extended absence.
