Cardano has always been the harder path, but we are here because we chose to walk it. 😤
We chose to build where others saw limits, to keep going when progress felt slow, and to believe that infrastructure, decentralization, and community matter.
Now the path feels even harder.
So we do what our community has always done
We march on, regardless.
Because we care about this ecosystem, because we love what we build, and because this mission is still bigger than the market around us.
Cardano is not going anywhere. 💙
Fluid is not going anywhere. 💙
>In my view, Cardano’s strongest path to long-term success lies in institutional adoption and integration with governments and regulated financial systems.
You are wrong and are completely oblivious to the web3 market.
Capitulation to regulated financial systems gives up the core value proposition of blockchain solutions. The whole premise of blockchain was founded on the idea that existing financial systems and the regulation that accompanies them is inherently susceptible to corruption. The idea that we can do better, we can evolve "Don't be evil" systems into "Can't be evil" systems.
Look at Uniswap, Morpho, Ethena. Look at where all the tokenized security volume is happening, is it on regulated MiCA compliant platforms? No, it's on Hyperliquid.
Please, come to terms with the objective reality of the market. Algorand, Polkadot, and many others before them have hyper-specialized in "institutional adoption and integration with governments and regulated financial systems" and look where that brought them... a one-way ticket into irrelevance.
People love to complain about Charles.
But they forget legendary moments like these.
Charles built Cardano from scratch.
He gave billions of $NIGHT to the community for free.
All those years, he dedicated his time, energy, and passion to Cardano and Midnight.
Instead of complaining, maybe it’s time to show some support and appreciation for everything he has done for this ecosystem.
Because after every bear market comes a bull market.
Don’t complain. Show some love.
Drop a 💙 to say: Thank you, Charles.
Charles said today that we should prepare for many Cardano projects shutting down in the next few months, and for frequent news about shutdowns. I wrote down on paper 3 projects I would bet will 100% shut down in the next 2 to 3 months, end of story. 🤯 But I also wrote down one project that we will defend with our lives in the time ahead. That one is $SONG on Cardano.
That one is SongMarketCap. We have a profitable business model with @songoncardano. We have an incredible community that does not give up. We have chemistry. We have a handshake. We do not owe money to anyone. We have no VC players inside. We have no presale or private sale people inside. We only have a dream, and a group of crazy people who believe in that dream. And that is why there will be blood in the time ahead. Many will unfortunately fail, many that you know. But those who survive will write the history books.
We are staying LONG ON $SONG
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
#Cardano fam, a history lesson.
What happened to Solana.
FTX implosion.
Alameda implosion.
SBF goes to jail.
Gary Gensler
Op Chokepoint.
Silvergate bank collapse.
Inflation.
Gaza war.
Etc.. Etc…
$Sol falls to $8. Everyone was writing its eulogy. It’s done. No leadership. Directionless. Stained by criminals.
And then what happened. It had one of the best runs 2024-2025.
Crypto is a PysOps.
Cardano, as long as we make the right decisions and trust the right leaders has its best days ahead.

Lace Wallet becomes the official wallet of the UZH Blockchain Center at the University of Zurich 🟣
Through a new collaboration agreement, Lace Wallet (@lace_io) has been selected as the official wallet for students participating in the renowned “Deep Dive into Blockchain” program offered by the UZH Blockchain Center (@uzh_blockchain) and the University of Zurich.
This academic program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of distributed systems, consensus mechanisms, foundational research papers, and the economic and legal frameworks surrounding blockchain technology. As part of the curriculum, students explore the technical architecture of leading blockchain networks and gain hands-on experience with real-world infrastructure.
Cardano is one of the blockchain platforms studied within the program. A key component of the coursework requires students to learn how to operate a node within a Proof-of-Stake environment. To support this objective, students work on UZHCARDANO, the University’s dedicated Cardano-based testnet. All necessary integrations have now been completed, and students will use and download Lace Wallet as part of their academic activities. Upon completing their coursework, they will also be able to interact with the Cardano mainnet, bringing new users and transaction activity to the network.
This collaboration was established following discussions held during Universities Day in Buenos Aires, and was made possible through the joint efforts of Claudio J. Tessone, Chairman of the UZH Blockchain Center; the Lace Mobile engineering team, led by Alejandro Matias Ravasio; and the local Input Output Group Buenos Aires team.
@IOHK_Charles@CashAnvil@IOHK_Charles I can't imagine what it feels like to be attacked by a bunch of psycho's on a regular basis when you have poured your blood sweat and tears into everything you do not just crypto. I really hope you realize way more appreciate you.
@CashAnvil The money isn't going solely to IOG. It's an entire ecosystem of third-party companies. If we got defunded, you'd see the collapse of dozens of companies
You all need to follow @PrometheanActn and subscribe the their newsletter because THEY EXPLAIN HOW THE REAL WORLD OPERATES🫨! I have to say, I “thought” I was in the know, but IT TURNED OUT I DIDN’T KNOW 💩! The whole team have been mapping this out for DECADES🇺🇸

Midnight was designed as a multi-chain network from its inception. 🕛⚫️
The existence of CNIGHT on Cardano and BNIGHT on BNB Chain before the genesis block was ever mined was not a coincidence; it was a deliberate signal of the network’s long-term vision: building bridges across ecosystems rather than competing within silos.
One of the three pillars that define Midnight is “Abstraction”. This principle aims to allow end users to interact with the network seamlessly, regardless of their ecosystem of origin, giving them the freedom to engage with Midnight through the tools and experiences they are already familiar with.
That vision became tangible through initiatives such as the Glacier Drop, one of the largest cross-chain token distributions in the industry. Eligibility required holding at least $100 USD equivalent in native assets across any of eight supported blockchain ecosystems during the historical snapshot taken on June 11, 2025.
The resulting allocation of the 24 billion NIGHT token supply reflected the breadth of this approach:
• Cardano (ADA): 12.0 billion NIGHT (50.00%)
• Bitcoin (BTC): 4.8 billion NIGHT (20.00%)
• XRP Ledger (XRP): 2.623 billion NIGHT (10.93%)
• Ethereum (ETH): 2.305 billion NIGHT (9.61%)
• Solana (SOL): 1.429 billion NIGHT (5.95%)
• BNB Chain (BNB): 796.1 million NIGHT (3.32%)
• Avalanche (AVAX): 43.3 million NIGHT (0.18%)
• Basic Attention Token (BAT): 3.2 million NIGHT (0.013%)
By September 16, 2025, Glacier Drop participants had claimed more than 2.4 billion NIGHT tokens, representing over 10% of the total supply. The strong response from users across eight major blockchain ecosystems demonstrated a growing interest in a network built around privacy, interoperability, and collaboration from day one.
@MidnightNtwrk did not begin as a single-chain project seeking expansion.
It was conceived as a multi-chain ecosystem from the outset, and the Glacier Drop stands as one of the first large-scale demonstrations of that commitment.
