Last week taught us that being a Cardano SPO is no walk in the park — managing infra is complex. What happens when we add 10 partner-chains Midgard Hydra bridges oracles? How do we unify operations without compromising decentralization? Enter: SuperNode 🧵👇

To all Cardano dReps, Thank you for participating in the Intersect 2026 governance budget process. We know this was a huge amount of work. Reviewing dozens of proposals, understanding the trade-offs, and casting informed votes takes serious time and dedication. We're grateful to every single one of you, regardless of how you chose to vote. The process only works because dReps show up and engage thoughtfully. We're very happy with the results so far. We still need to wait for the on-chain phase, but the support we've seen already makes the entire TxPipe team incredibly proud and more energized than ever to keep building for the ecosystem. Thank you again 🙏

@txpipe_tools came by our office yesterday and we talked a lot about ZK and the future of web3. Always great to exchange ideas with like-minded builders Thanks for stopping by, guys!

Santiago Carmuega (@santicarmuega) joins us for a technical deep dive into Dolos, a lightweight Cardano data node alternative built completely in Rust. 🚀 This Developers Office Hour breaks down TxPipe's design philosophy and architecture for optimizing ledger data access: • The Data Node Role: Bypassing heavy consensus validation to optimize for fast, resource-efficient ledger queries. • Rust Infrastructure: Leveraging a modern performance-first tech stack built on top of Cardano open protocols. • Lightweight Use Cases: Overcoming standard node hardware limitations for client-side applications and indexers. Check out the documentation and open-source repositories mentioned in the session: 🔹 Dolos Docs: docs.txpipe.io/dolos 🔹 GitHub Repository: github.com/txpipe/dolos 🔹 Subscribe to the calendar: addevent.com/calendar/TG8072…

Dolos might just be the most important Cardano infra software that no one talks about.

Assuming the item was linked to an NFT, both @nmkr_io and @AnvilDevAgency have APIs to both issue the tokens and update the metadata of said token. If the token itself is not majorly critical because you are not actually transferring the ownership of the token from person to person, you could accomplish similar with a registered address datum or metadata format and just update the on-chain record. Tx3 by @txpipe_tools could help here as it makes it relatively trivial to describe what actions you're taking in close to "plain language" while obfuscating a lot of the UTxO complexity
