If Bitcoin is digital gold, ADA is digital oil. Gold may have been the bedrock upon which economies formed, but oil (with its many uses) allowed them to thrive.
@cashpognft The part we should talk about is how crypto disregards free float in MC. The more supply is held by insiders, the further MC deviates from reality. The DJI and S&P both use free float mkt cap in their calc. Crypto MCs are glaringly inconsistent with the rest of finance.
Reminiscing about Cardano. Back in the Shelley days, setting up the CCV stake pools was so exciting. We literally grew this ecosystem together.
I know it feels rough out there in crypto these days, but it's not over, and it's not over for Cardano.
There have been upgrades since the Shelley days, but maybe none as monumental as what is happening right now.
Cardano just opened the Musashi Dojo, which is the public testnet for Ouroboros Leios, the largest throughput upgrade since that Shelley era.
This IS NOT a layer 2 or a sidechain. It's a change to the consensus layer itself.
Leios runs as an overlay on top of Praos rather than replacing it. Think of this like a capacity increase on a highway, Leios adds lanes...it doesn't just raise the speed limit.
It adds a second block type that runs alongside the existing Praos blocks.
Leios targets 100–1,000+ TPS (potentially 10x–65x improvement), while preserving Praos’s core security and decentralization properties.
Same security model that's held strong since Shelley, with a realistic path to a projected 5–20x throughput increase at mainnet.
It runs in five phases: Validation, parameter tuning, real load, adversarial stress, and mainnet prep.
If you run a pool, this is the phase to get involved!

@bendee983 on everything I love, fable 5 was worse than 4.8 in my experience. I nearly voluntarily switched back before they switched it off for me lol I don't understand the hype. everyone calling this some revolutionary advance is either a grifter or an idiot
@WOLF_Financial Hate him all you want, he's right. We have a spending problem, not an income problem. Any tax policy conversation that doesn't start with this framing, isn't even worth having.
Cardano is primed to succeed in the DeFi market where risk-weighted yield is valued above all else.
We need to lock in, focus on preserving the economic safety of LPs. The golden rule, the LP is king. We need financial instruments like RealFi, Liqwid, SundaeSwap LinearSwap pools where the rule of thumb is "LPs must never lose money". We need dApp interoperability, LP tokens from each dApp must be able to be swapped, used as collateral, or provided as liquidity, on other dApps.
@theo Little late to the party, but better late then never. Been a max plan sub for 7 months. It's gonna take a RADICAL 360 to get me back at this point.
We have big news to share:
Today the x402 foundation has officially merged the Pull Request to add a Cardano Specification of x402 into the repository.
This means Cardano is now officially an x402 chain.
And even better: They have also accepted the Masumi Smart Contract and potentially other Smart Contracts as an optional addition to the standard.
This now makes x402 on Cardano more powerful than x402 on most other chains because it supports:
1) Identity
2) Refunds & Disputes
3) Decision Logging
4) Registry
and more.
We want to give a big shoutout to Fabian from the Cardano Foundation who has spearheaded this 6+ month effort the whole way, improving the Pull Request & talking to Coinbase and the x402 Foundation.
Additionally we want to shoutout Karsten Siebert who has built the first x402 integration on Cardano and was vital in the discussions around the standard.
JUST IN: UK challenger bank Monument to tokenize up to £250M in retail deposits on @MidnightNtwrk, marking the first time a UK-regulated bank has tokenized deposits on a public blockchain while keeping them FSCS-protected and interest-bearing.
Hey David, how did we arrive at a place where the Big Banks have a veto over the business practices of their more innovative new competitors?
I’m frankly not interested in whether the Big Banks like yield on stablecoins or not.
Unlike the Big Banks’ fractional reserve model, stablecoin issuers must retain 100% high-quality, liquid reserves under the GENIUS Act.
The fractional reserve banks introduce systemic risk, stablecoin issuers do not.
The Big Banks are permitted to pay interest on deposits.
Stablecoin issuers should likewise be permitted to pay yield to their customers.
There is no logical counter argument.
The idea of barring yield on stablecoins is transparently nothing more than pure protection for legacy banks from competition.
That’s unAmerican and anti-capitalism.
What am I missing?
@TypicalGamer@TimSweeneyEpic@jogo We're all praying you can make this happen, the community is devastated and wants ballistic to get the love it deserves. Would be a shame to see it go to waste along with our communities. 🙏🙏
The future is here.
We’re excited to announce Strike V2 mainnet is now live.
Low fees, lightning fast speed, and an advanced orderbook model.
Happy trading everyone 🔥
