Hey dReps ! Please support the proposal from the Eternl Team to help them on there way to self sustainability. As we just witnessed with TapTools, we have to help our main ecosystem builders thru those difficult times during this bear market. So its our responsibility as dReps to step in and i would be really happy if we can get the Eternl Team more YES votes! 🙏

[Eternl @eternlwallet]

Hey Team Cardano,

Half-time for our proposal.

To every DRep who has voted so far: Thank you. 🙏

Meanwhile, we keep pushing towards Eternl v2.1. and Hard Fork readiness. 🛠️

@Padierfind @TapTools okay yea, maybe you can dm them. would be a shame if the platform dies. 🙏

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@Padierfind @TapTools can NMKR step in? @Padierfind

at least a one-time real life face2face conversation and handshake is what most people really need. a year long online meeting does not have that impact. once you have met a person in real life, also the online conversation changes to more respectful behavior in my experience. lets bring back the original cardano spirit!

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@DemetriusAvs Well, we all have said the same thing about 4 years ago. Then it was decided that governance is the most important thing to do.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

I love Cardano, but developing it further just because of developing til the chain is dead is the wrong way imo!

We need to focus on Marketing - NOW - not i one year, not in one month, NOW!

Cardano must show its features on every important show that is coming up. I am a dev too, but i am not an ignorant dev maxi that is closing his eyes and not see the reality we have right now.

Cardano had a good momentum, but than "we" decided to make governance the most important task. Pure out of fear from regulators. Just to turn out it was all hot air. Meanwhile other chains continued to build momentum.

So, we now have all the great tech on our chain. Lets bring it to the enduser - NOW!

As a dRep i will support any serious Marketing proposal, and yes, the Summit is also a piece of it. Showing unity withing the network.

Best regards, Martin

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@FrugalGamerNet yes, marketing it right now is the way to go. just waiting and waiting and waiting til "all" is finished will be too late.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@FrugalGamerNet but for that we have to "market" leios...

... just doing nothing will not do the job.

Was asked a couple months the ago about an alternative option for a Cardano event in Singapore for token2049 by a few people in
Community.

I said I wouldn’t do one by asking for treasury funding.

Having an event at token2049 week is a highly targeted and expensive endeavour.

I did share details about the below option with an FE a while back.

It’s an amazing location and would be unforgettable for all Attendees.

Have provided an option below for one and two days but I would suggest one day tbh. (Reasoning at the bottom)

Attendees: (no minimum needed)
✅ Day Tickets $150per day

Sponsor packages:

Gold Package: ($5,000 one day/$7,500 two day)

✅ table top display
✅ 15min presentation on stage per day
✅ 10 tickets per day

Platinum package ($7,500 one day/$10,000 two day)

✅ table top display
✅ 30 min speaker slot per day
✅ 10 tickets per day
✅ branding around the venue

Partner package ($15,000 one day/ $25,000 two day)

✅ table top display
✅ 30 min speaker slot
✅Opening and closing speech
✅ 25 tickets per day
✅ branding around the venue
✅ branding on stage

Would need to raise around $90k minimum from the sponsor packages for a one day event and $135k for a two day event to cover the fixed costs and branding etc.. and the associated ticket costs for the sponsor packages.

✅ Cocktail evening reception sponsor package available also.

The likely spread of sponsorship packages taken if successful Would probably something like:

Sponsors:
1 partner
2 platinum
10 Gold

Sponsors would be able to buy extra tickets in bundles of 10 at the cost price of $1,500 each per day.

It’s literally the cost price per attendee, so if a founding entity or project wants to subsidise the cost of tickets for some they can buy the bundles and provide the reduced price to community or hand out for free.

I personally think one day is the better option in terms of the context of the token2049 week tbh.

Token is Wednesday/Thursday and for those coming, I think one day at a Cardano event and one day at another event elsewhere would help attendees appreciate the Cardano event more and open their eyes to what the competition are doing.

Because of the type of person coming to token, it is best served for the Founding entities, the financial platforms where investors can deposit liquidity and make a good return, platforms that will be open to cross chain activities and have a platform already and looking for investment.

The founding entities, Strike/Bodega/Surf/Fluid/Dano/Masumi/Palmyra/Iagon/Ascend/USDA and USDM etc to name a few, are the most likely to have an ROI at such an event.

There are many reasons why I have not and will not submit a treasury proposal for this event, even though I think it is the perfect option for those that can and will capitalise on token2049 this year. I feel that doing it outside of direct treasury funding is a better option.

But as a comparison, if it were treasury funded, as a one day event, the total cost including tickets for up to 1,000 attendees would be approx $250k and $390k for two days.

Anyway…

If there is enough interest from FEs, projects and community to do it, I am more than happy to.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

I have voted YES on the "Eternl: Path to sustainability" proposal.

@lightbringer396 @Padierfind @lightbringer396 have you ever run a company? i am running mine for over 25 years now. marketing is essential to every successful business. if you dont know about the product, how would you be able to buy/compare it?

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

Yes, but "they" must understand that sometimes you have to invest first, before you are invested in.

Now that the Summit is canceled, smaller projects will have a much harder time to showcase on Token2049 instead. Different audience and more expensive overall. I guess most will simply cancel all now.

We need "marketing", or whatever you wanna call it, to connect the great Cardano tech to the "real world" with usecases/endusers.

Marketing is not about driving up the token price.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@nick1012_nick Why must an event that benefits the whole chain, projects, smaller cardano businesses... be self-funded/self-sustained? Sometimes you have to invest first before you are invested in.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

This is sad, because 1.8% decided that we cannot show our tech to all the devs/businesses/vcs with a dedicated event this year. As i have already booked my flight and hotel last year, i will still be around in Singapore for the Token2049 and Sideevents.

Who else is still in Singapore this year?

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

Governance requires not only participation, but also a commitment to accept collective decisions. The Cardano community has spoken and we respect the outcome.

Following the outcome of the Treasury proposal votes, the Cardano Foundation's proposed Cardano Summit 2026, will not take place this year. Despite this, we were heartened to see how close the vote came to being passed and how engaged the community was, and have read every bit of feedback left by the DReps who voted. We were also pleased to see that Emurgo’s TOKEN2049 proposal passed. Now, we will review all current commitments and commence winding down Summit execution.

The Foundation remains focused on the current roadmap and vision. We thank the DReps for their engagement throughout this process. Their thorough evaluation, feedback, and participation exemplify the thoughtful engagement that effective governance requires, and this level of governance remains one of the defining strengths of this ecosystem.

We deeply appreciate everyone who contributed to the discussion, and we look forward to continuing our work in service of the Cardano community.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@phillewisit yes and thats the real bummer - projects and smaller businesses that were able to showcase on the summit have not platform anymore. there only option is to go the higher cost route of token. but as you have said, the audience is different.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@juanma_calle_r not if nobody knows what tech we have

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

no its not about telling people tp buy the token. its about showcasing the cardano tech in detail, what we do different on out chain, what it can be used for. we need adoption. if you dont know about a product (cardano) or why its outstanding against others, you will never onboard users.

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

yes for sure

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

Would there be any appetite to scale up the booth at Token2049 and host an embedded MiniSummit with Token? We could do a hackathon with a large ada prize and have a stage for Cardano ventures to present. Subsidize some of the larger projects to attend?

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@IOHK_Charles yes for sure

[ATADA / ATAD2 Cardano StakePool Austria @ATADA_Stakepool]

@LordWotton83 @zormtar sure, thats the point we are loosing left and right 🙄
