Max Weber (@maxalexweber) joins us to discuss ODATANO and how to bring #Cardano into enterprise SAP environments through standardized OData interfaces. 🚀 This Developers Office Hour breaks down the technical intersection of blockchain and enterprise systems: • Enterprise Gateway: An overview of the OData V4 architecture built specifically for Cardano. • Cloud Environments: Strategies for seamless integration into the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). • Core Integration: Transitioning from standard API queries to user-first enterprise data models.

Get ready for the 1st EVER 🥇 Parametric Insurance protocol on Cardano!! 🥳🎉🥂

This Cardano Seminar features Cardano Ambassador @YoramBenzvi and partners from the Syngenta Foundation and AI Quant discussing the 5am.earth initiative. The session covers the project's progress, approach, and the operational and technical framework behind the initiative. The stated goal is to onboard 3 million smallholder farmers to Cardano by 2030 and reduce the cost of market services through trusted, decentralized data. Topics covered include: 00:11 - Overview of 5am's goal to onboard 3m farmers. 05:40 - Agri-Entrepreneur model empowering rural youth. 13:29 - Technology framework using satellite oracles. 19:46 - Scaling from 200 pilots to 15,000 on-chain txs. 24:46 - 6-step roadmap for training farmers in rural areas. 31:52 - Security, privacy and Guardianship wallet model. 39:00 - Live on-chain validation via Cardano Scan. 40:58 - Future expansion to Kenya, Cambodia beyond.

What if Cardano became the backbone of global agriculture? The 5am earth proposal could bring: 2M monthly active users 7–10M monthly transactions Up to $1.2B in ecosystem contribution All driven by real farmers, real commodities, and real agriculture workflows on Cardano. This is what mainstream adoption looks like.

Cardano DeFi is finally getting insurance. Aegis from Flux Point Studios is the first one on the chain. Buy a policy and oracles trigger the payout automatically. Conditions met, money hits your wallet instantly from the pre-funded pool. No claims. No delays. Most people play it safe in DeFi because one crash can wreck everything. Aegis cuts that fear. More capital should start flowing into liquidity pools and lending. TVL stands to benefit big time. Even better, Aegis sends a cut of protocol fees back to the Cardano treasury. This kind of tool is exactly what the ecosystem needs right now. Shield up if you’re active on Cardano. Would you buy coverage for your LP positions or loans?

Congratulations to the Hackathon winners! Grand Prize Winner - 20,000 ADA "Quantix" by solo entry @maxalexweber QUANTIX is a B2B delivery settlement app for raw materials. Unlike regular RWA use cases, here it just tokenizes the needed facts about goods inventory, price, timestamp, signer set, and not the goods themselves. Conventional B2B delivery settlement runs on PDFs, EDI patchwork, and post-hoc reconciliation: ERP says one thing, the warehouse another, the price sheet is a day old, and disputes are settled by whoever has the better paperwork. QUANTIX replaces that with a single atomic Cardano transaction. Github Repo: github.com/maxalexweber1/QUA… Demo Video: youtube.com/watch?v=g3_FExeF… Best DeFi & Integrations - 5,000 ADA "Charli3 Perp" by team @AscendPerps - Charli3 Perp is a minimal implementation of perpetual trading using Charli3 oracle data. It connects verified on-chain ADA/USD price feed to pipeline executed with Midnight for orders, matching, and settlement. Best Real World Settlement - 5,000 ADA "AEGIS Parametric Insurance" by team @fluxpointstudio - Aegis is automated crypto insurance that pays out instantly when oracle-verified price conditions are met -- no claims process, no adjusters, no waiting. The oracle IS the claims adjuster. Best Oracle Tooling - 5,000 ADA "Charli3-js" by team @SyncAI_Network - Typescript charli3 SDK - Agent Integration pathway Community Choice Award - 5,000 ADA "Parametrix by team @lambdac_labs - Parametric risk settlement on Cardano (hedge against real world risks like rainfall or measurable events) Thank you very much to our sponsors for making this hackathon a reality: @Cardano_CF @Catalyst_onX @DraperDragon Big shout out to the @Oraclecharli3 team who volunteered their time to host the hackathon! And lastly, thank you for the incredible support from the community to make this event a success!

It’s a wrap! The Charli3 Oracle Hackathon concluded with 15 project submissions competing for 40,000 ADA and the opportunity to pitch @DraperDragon ! 5 will be selected in the next week. Public is welcome to join the closing ceremonies to see the finalists! Our team was absolutely blown away with the quality of the projects. These weren’t teams simply consuming a datapoint onchain. They built complex and robust MVPs that include and are not limited to: Insurance contracts for onchain and off chain activity, price volatility protection solutions, prediction markets, midnight integrations, real world integrations, real time ERP integrations, onchain funding mechanisms, and ways to automate and simplify oracle integrations… projects enhanced our solution along the way with typescript SDK… multiple feeds per validator… and more! 🙌🙌🙌 thank you for the amazing project teams for killing it! We will promote all the projects and make them available for public review because they are just that awesome. Last but not least, big shout out to our sponsors and judges! @orcfax @USDMOfficial @Cardano_CF @andamio_teams @Catalyst_onX Also give Talha who organized and planned the entire hackathon some love ❤️

Draper Associates (@DraperVC) company just replicated every YC startup in the latest batch using agentic founders. Incredible.

Since Q3 2025, Charli3 has been transitioning from managed service provider to core Cardano public infrastructure. We've been quietly working on moving code IP and governance to the community. This didn't happen overnight — it's been months in the making and still in progress. This is the biggest shift in our history. Here's where we are and what's coming 🧵

Join our team on Friday to learn about all of Charli3’s solutions and how to use our open source tooling! Spin up your own oracle networks and check under the hood of Charli3.

When we released Claude Opus 4.5, we knew future models would be close to our AI Safety Level 4 threshold for autonomous AI R&D. We therefore committed to writing sabotage risk reports for future frontier models. Today we’re delivering on that commitment for Claude Opus 4.6.
