Sundae v4 is coming 🍨
Today we’re dropping the first details of the next major upgrade to the SundaeSwap protocol.
Read it here 👇 https://t.co/bfH5MGY1NW
@QCPOLstakepool Both are history! Plomin was voted under bootstrap rules (SPOs + interim CC, no DRep vote on hard forks yet). Van Rossem is the first with all three chambers: DReps, SPOs, and the elected Constitutional Committee. The set is complete tonight 🍀
History happens at tonight's Cardano upgrade: for the first time ever a hard fork proposed, voted on, and approved entirely by the community. DReps, stake pool operators, and the Constitutional Committee. No company decided this. We did. Together we're all the CEO of Cardano!
The SPOs who voted on the Ekklesia poll for CIP-50 collectively represented 1.46 BILLION ADA in stake with a whopping 98.6% of participating stake voting YES, marking it as one of the biggest landslide votes in Cardano history.
AND THIS WAS AN OFF-CHAIN VOTE 🔥
Grab your coffee, we go live in a couple of hours! ☕
Join Pi at 1 PM EST for a special livestream on Ouroboros Leios and Cardano's Musashi Dojo public testnet.
Let's talk scaling! 👇

Cardano has a path into the biggest stablecoin alliance in crypto
The @Cardano_CF says it is exploring integration with OpenUSD, the 140-company stablecoin consortium backed by Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, and Stripe. Its bridge is @brale_xyz, an OpenUSD launch partner that already works with the Foundation on compliant native stablecoin issuance.
The Foundation says more integration options are being explored, with details to come. OpenUSD is expected to launch in late 2026. $ADA
Sundae Labs has entered the Dojo. 🥋
They were first to get smart contracts running on Ouroboros Leios, and they've helped shape its design and simulation since the start.
Train with us on Leios: https://t.co/En56gVJ4dO 🧵
Cardano is the most secure blockchain in the space. Now we're equipping it with the throughput to become the operational layer for the world, scaling capacity by up to 65x.
It begins on the Leios testnet.

🛡 Recovery Process Status
The team remains on track against the estimated 2-week recovery timeline, with substantial progress continuing as engineering teams work through multiple technical approaches in parallel to determine the most secure recovery solution for affected users.
What Comes Next:
To help users safely prepare for the upcoming next steps, we will be releasing:
1. A suitable mechanism that will allow users to check whether their wallet has been affected by early next week
2. A secure process that will allow users to safely move assets out of the platform thereafter.
Our commitment remains unchanged: protecting users and ensuring assets are returned securely.
Important Security Reminder:
At this stage, NO recovery actions requiring user participation have begun.
Until official instructions are provided, wallets should remain untouched and users should continue to rely only on updates shared through official SecondFi channels.
SecondFi will NEVER request private keys, seed phrases, wallet credentials, or request asset transfers under any circumstances.
Should you have any questions, please submit a ticket only through our official support channel at: https://t.co/bKfl8SK9D2
We remain fully committed to completing this process safely and responsibly, and thank you for your continued support.
As usual in times like this with hot funds and private keys lost and a looming redemption period coming up, scammers will latch on and contact users to provide seed phrases only to be drained completely of all assets, not just Cardano related. This is a very dangerous time for victims of SecondFi and scammers know and exploit this, stay safe!
If you are impacted by SecondFi and wait on redemption, follow these 4 rules:
1. Remain calm, there will be plenty of time to redeem once the redeem window starts, probably years, or likely forever. Do not rush! When unsure, do not act!
2. Check that when a redeem option is given, this comes from the official SecondFi account. Do not trust any other account, especially no DM. Also double check anything posted by this account on plausibility. Any account associated with SecondFi is right now a prime target for hackers.
3. Triple check the official redemption portal once live. Do not rush to use it, wait on confirmation from multiple accounts you trust, before interacting.
Why?
You will most likely have to submit a zero knowledge proof of the most critical secret you have: Your seed phrase, once the official redemption portal is live.
In hot wallets which are affected by this, by definition you regularly have to enter your seed phrase on your online device to set up new wallet software. You should be kinda used to this. This step in itself is super dangerous. If you enter this in a fake wallet, your seed won't be encrypted and stored locally, but transmitted in plaintext to the scammers impersonating an official tool / wallet. If you enter this on a compromised computer a key logger or screen grabber will capture your seed and transmit this to scammers...
I hope and assume SecondFi will come up with a decent process for redemption where you can input your seed while your host is offline in some tool to construct the zero knowledge proof, then reboot, then go online, inspect the zero knowledge proof and only then submit this online.
4. If this process has stressed you, this is a great time to consider investing in a hardware wallet to redeem the hot wallet funds on a cold wallet, so you never have to worry about such software wallet bugs ever again.
We're proud to announce a strategic partnership with the University of Brasília (@unb_oficial), and the launch of the first Cardano Project Development Lab in Latin America.
Together, we're advancing blockchain research, education, and real-world applications across the region.

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard.
While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented.
Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program.
With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome.
This important:
Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86
Let's go!!!

USDCx on @Cardano, a USDC-backed stablecoin with seamless access to crosschain USDC liquidity, is now available via Circle xReserve.
With USDCx, enterprises and end users can power payments, lending, trading, borrowing, liquidity provision, and more using a highly liquid stablecoin.
Supported at launch by Cardano DeFi apps @liqwidfinance, @MinswapDEX, and @SundaeSwap.
Key benefits:
✅USDCx is 1:1 backed by USDC held in xReserve
✅Fully interoperable with USDC across supported chains
✅Trust minimized with no third-party bridges required
**For the first 10 days, IOG will be covering all costs for bridging USDC to USDCx on Cardano, helping early adopters get started without fees or friction.**
