Here's a live demo of the #HardwareWallet designed for live dApp services that we're building thanks to #ProjectCatalyst on #Cardano! Dexes, bridges, NFT mints, and others can secure their service's private keys in hardware. 👇 Details below 👇

🧵 Introducing multi-owner stake pool support in Cardano-TSS! Pool operators can now split cold keys & rewards stake keys among multiple parties using Shamir Secret Sharing — no single entity ever holds the complete signing key. 🐍⚡

🔐 The pool cold key is split into N shares with a configurable threshold (e.g. 2-of-3). Key holders cooperate to produce a single compact Ed25519 signature for opcert issuance & KES rotation — fully compatible with cardano-cli. No protocol changes. No bloated multisig scripts.

📖 Full step-by-step tutorial now live — cold key splitting, rewards stake key splitting, TSS opcert signing, and KES rotation. Open-source C library & CLI, zero toolchain changes required. 👇 Read it here: viperscience.gitlab.io/carda… #Cardano #StakePool #TSS #SPO

Onboarding got easier, builders gathered in Buenos Aires, students learned in Indonesia, and institutional wallets got safer. Four completed Catalyst projects this round, each finishing a different job. ✅ ZK Login by @eryxcoop OpenID-style Cardano login with zero-knowledge proofs, lowering onboarding friction for mainstream users. ✅ Buidler Fest Buenos Aires by @txpipe_tools A two-day Cardano builder gathering in Buenos Aires, with speaker sessions and project showcases. ✅ Catalyst School Indonesia by @c3eth Catalyst education for Indonesian students, with localized materials, workshops, and university curriculum at Gadjah Mada. ✅ Threshold Signatures by @viperscience Threshold-signature multi-party wallet signing for Cardano, strengthening security and making higher-value custody more practical. Thanks to the four teams! Each one removed a different barrier to using Cardano. Throughout 2026, we are contacting all active projects from Funds 11 to 14 so they can acknowledge their intention to complete their milestones. Please reply within the deadlines below: 📌 Fund 13 — 1 July 2026 📌 Fund 14 — 1 August 2026

We just setup a custom vcpkg registry to vend our modern C library libcardano as well as the Cardano fork of libsodium and a fantastic CBOR library. If you are using vcpkg CMake, this makes pulling in Cardano dependencies easy 😎 Check it out! gitlab.com/viperscience/vipe… @vcpkg_io

We just pushed a CMake wrapper for the Cardano-fork of libsodium. Now users can build and install Cardano libsodium with CMake or include it in projects with FetchContent! gitlab.com/viperscience/card…

For example an example use case, see the recent update to libcardano. gitlab.com/viperscience/libc…

Did you know that without complicated on-chain contracts you can have a Cardano wallet shared between any number of users and require only some threshold of those users to combine for a valid signature? The combination can be achieved off-chain with Threshold Signature Schemes!👇

Check out our new CLI tool currently under development that allows the user to create and send funds from shared wallets using key splitting technology! Research powered by #CardanoCommunity via @Catalyst_onX 🔥 viperscience.gitlab.io/carda…

👀 Just sent a transaction on the testnet from a shared wallet using our new Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) wallet tools! The sending wallet has no private key... What do you think about that? preprod.cardanoscan.io/trans…

Glad you were able to build on our ogmios-python project! Our work on this was funding by the #CardanoCommunity through Project Catalyst. @Catalyst_onX It always good to see Catalyst funds producing ROI!

Also Major shoutout to @viperscience for doing the heavy lifting, and @CardanoKoios and @ada_stat, whose reliable infrastructure we rely on. The Cardano ecosystem builders continue to impress us every day with their quality work and robust tools. 👏 5/6
