After talking with @F_Gregaard at PBW 2026…
I don’t think most people understand what Cardano is really building yet.
And honestly, that’s probably the opportunity!
#Cardano#ADA
Great Cardano SPO Call today - Notes for June 4th
1. Van Rossem Hard Fork Preparations
- Things are looking GREEN for the hard fork
- node 11.0.1: SPOs need to upgrade now
- Pre-view cost model has worked, Pre-prod in progress
- Plutus Cost model is on main net: DReps and CC need to vote
- 72% of blocks on main net are now protocol v11
- Ogmios and Kupo are hard fork ready
- Hard fork proposal will go on main net after Pre-prod completes successfully
- Go / No Go in on June 15th
2. Ouroboros Leois
- DevNet is generating a large amount of simulated traffic for testing
- Working on improving the mempool to increase throughput
- @SundaeSwap is helping put transaction load on the DevNet
- High confidence track to deploy Leios to main net eventually, still working on establishing high criteria in security and liveness in preparation for main net.
- Need early involvement from community on TSC, Civics committees etc… alignment for eventual main net. Date TBD.
- Will take some time to get production ready for mainnet as it is a major protocol upgrade.
- Public SPO testnet will launch the last week of June
3. Ensurable Systems Intro @ensurablesys
Kevin Hammond - CEO
Phillip Kant, Tim Richmond, Duncan Couttes on the team

Ouroboros Tachys, STAG Red Team.
4. Mithril - Terragone Factory @TeragoneFactory has been involved from the beginning and is still advancing the Mithril protocol as an IO partner.
Further developing SPO set up for Mithril providing Cardano state.
Working toward availability with IPFS.
Setting up an X space to discuss the future vision of Mithril TPD announced later today.
5. Post Quantum from IOR proposal is part of the IO Research. DReps sure to vote to get this approved.
CIP-50 and other ballots are on Ekklesia:
CIP-163 Time bound delegation discussion
CIP-23 Min margin: setting an initial value
SPO voting with Calidus Keys + DRep voting is in progress.
I'm personally tired of the bots and trolls crashing out on Charles. The market has been getting manipulated down for the past year. "They" want a reset before Clarity. It's the banks, institutions and politicians that have been orchestrating all of this. Retail had fun with the gimmicks, scams, imaginative use cases, internal manipulations etc, but that is coming to a close as the big boys come to play with Trillions of $$.
The only reason Charles gets the brunt of the anger, fear and frustrations of the ecosystem is because he opted to put himself out there in a transparent way with every thought, effort, goal and compromise he considers. What other ecosystem has its founder putting themselves out there the way Charles does?
Cardano isn't down because Cardano sucks, has failed, Charles is mean, or any of this nonsense. It's a risk on asset in a sea of assets being shaken out of retail hands before the real strengths of these chains are put to legitimate use by the very institutions funding the markets we trade in. The club has been built, the DJ is unloading his crate, the music is soon to begin and while the guys are suits are being let in through the back door, we aren't invited unless we are smart enough to have the foresight and understanding that to play with the big boys, you have to think like them, understand their plays and stop playing victim to the game.
When Clarity passes as the necessity that it is for the banks to survive the Quantum threat and the chains more advanced in their quantum proofing state take the lead, there is NO OTHER FUCKING CHAIN that has been designed, developed and continues to expand its reach and capabilities than Cardano and thats why IM NOT FUCKING SELLING! I'll work every job I can, take on as many AI clients as possible, grind my daily work, my content, whatever I have to to survive where we are. We've ALL been played. But I'm not a victim, I'm a fucking pioneer. I was of the first, I've been here ever since and I'm not going anywhere. The world HAS to change or everything collapses and it has to change to quantum proof blockchain rails or no bank account is safe. AI with Quantum computing access? HAH!
It really is time for everyone to get a grip. Whats done is done. It doesnt change where we have been, what we have accomplished or where we are going.
Tired of the bots and trolls? Block them all. The power they have is the power we give them through out engagement. Its time to clean house. If you shit on Cardano, Charles are just a senseless toxic shit stirrer, I'm blocking you. Period. I'm done with the drama and the negativity. Now is the time for UNITY under pressure with the focus being how we rise with the coming tide and it is coming, you can take that FROM the bank and put it onto any one of these legit blockchains. Most of these chains in the Top 50 will be used for different things.
When the market turns, its going to be hard and fast and likely at a moment you least expect it because they will wait until everyone last one of us has been shaken out before the flood waves drives uptrends that leave everyone wondering WTF is happening and your exit prices are blown away forcing you to buy back in higher than you sold and your disbelief and confusion keeps you from pushing the buy button. This is all by design and this time, this bear cycle, is very much diffferent...dont get caught off guard because you're too busy bickering about nonsense with others in your community. Its time to focus.

@policylaila I really do think Nigel and the rest of Reform, needs to give respect where it is due to @RupertLowe10 as nobody has done more, despite of resistance. There is a time politics and a time for unity and collaboration to what is the ultimate cause!
The rape gangs scandal is the greatest state failure in British history.
Public bodies and politicians aided and abetted the mass rape and sexual exploitation of children. Predominantly white working-class girls were brutalised by criminal gangs who were (and still are) disproportionately men of Pakistani nationality or heritage.
Inquiries and words are not enough. State-enabled child sexual exploitation continues to this day, including in Wigan and Makerfield.
For decades, politicians like Andy Burnham, local authorities, the police and the media engaged in a conspiracy of silence - institutional avoidance in the name of political correctness.
It is time for action.
A Reform government will redress the harms caused by public servants in so many Labour-run local authorities. Within our first 100 days, we will:
- Release all files held by public bodies relating to the grooming gangs, going back 40 years.
- Increase police and National Crime Agency taskforce funding by £300m, taking it to £400m, so they can adequately investigate the perpetrators and the complicit police officers, social workers and politicians who enabled them. They will be given every resource they require.
This is our plan to finally deliver justice for our girls.
