Cardano YOD₳

Introducing the MANDA Staking Pool After years of active involvement in the Cardano ecosystem, I’m launching my staking pool under the ticker MANDA. My journey with Cardano began in 2017, and since then, my engagement with the project has steadily deepened. With the…

Blockchain explorers are the user interface of Cardano. Everyone needs them to: ▪️View blocks and TXs ▪️View staking pools and DReps ▪️View delegations and rewards ▪️View epochs, traffic, treasury ▪️View governance actions ▪️And much more Support @cexplorer_io and @ada_stat.

NightSwap will be a new DEX on Midnight. Get ready for private swaps.

Thanks @builder__dao for the detailed response. It really helped clear up a lot of my concerns. I’m heading out on vacation now, but I’ll pick this back up once I return. I appreciate this dialogue. Thank you for the transparency.

US banks will issue their stablecoins. They will compete with each other. The Circle/Tether monopoly will end soon. They may want to try to address as many users as possible, including Cardano users.

Imagine that you want to unstake your coins and you have to wait 11 days. There is currently 644,330 ETH worth around $2.34 billion lined up to leave with an 11-day wait, according to ValidatorQueue. Cardano is built differently. You can always sell ADA and stake it again.

Midgard is the top-voted proposal with 118 YES votes (47.81%) and only 3 NO votes. It's not even a week since the proposals were submitted. Good job, DReps!

🚨This is concerning. EMURGO has shown limited interest in Cardano for years. Genesis ADA were invested elsewhere. With on-chain governance now in place, EMURGO together with Yoroi are dominant DReps voting for their proposals.

Minswap has launched a DEX Aggregator.

CardanoKit, an open-source library developed by Tokeo, will integrate Cardano with Apple products. The library allows devs to incorporate ADA into applications for wallets, payments, and Web3 features, making it easier for users to purchase $ADA via Apple Pay.

If DReps back key withdrawals, Cardano can scale efficiently, boost decentralization, improve UX, and even host BTC. Delegators should be interested in how their DReps vote and why. They should read their rationales.

Scalability goes beyond Ouroboros Leios—it also relies on second-layer solutions like Midgards, ZK rollups, and Hydra. I urge DReps to take these into account when casting votes on withdrawals.

🚨SEC has approved conversion of Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund into an ETF. ADA is included. A Cardano ETF is inevitable.

To all Cardano DReps and ADA holders! We urge you to support the ZK Bridge proposal by @eryxcoop – a critical step forward for Cardano’s ZK infrastructure. While Ethereum and other competing ecosystems are far ahead in zero-knowledge (ZK) development – making it the centerpiece…

You are asking me about The Cardano Builder DAO (CB DAO), which I voted NO for. This project deserves a longer rationale. The CB DAO is a member-led funding system focused on supporting live, high-impact apps that drive user adoption and on-chain activity. It fills the gap…

Cardano won this poll!
