van Rossem hard fork update 🍴
The Cardano PreProd testnet has ratified the hard fork action on June 5, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.
This means that PreProd will hard fork to Protocol Version 11 on June 10, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.
Another major milestone on the road to Mainnet!

The fight back for ADA and BTC begins now. ⚔️
We at @SundialProtocol and @CharmsDev are partnering to turn the tides for our ecosystem.
I call on you to join! 🫵
Let's build the infrastructure and products that move the market to Cardano + Bitcoin.
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
Supporting IO core development of the Cardano protocol, partner chains, security, stability, and growth.
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.
The Leios roadmap to solving the blockchain trilemma
Leios is moving from research to testnet – taking the first steps to scaling Cardano’s L1. Decoupling transaction diffusion from sequencing builds the foundation for later integration of advanced scaling techniques such as SNARKs, data availability sampling, and UTXO sharding.

We are happy to announce a Cardano x Draper Dragon x Bitcoin side event to Token2049.
Funded by Cardano Foundation and Draper Dragon.
We look forward to sharing more details soon.
Thanks for the X space Draper @OrionFund team!
VIA Labs is officially live on BOTH @MidnightNtwrk testnet and @Cardano testnet!
Moneta's @USDMOfficial is the first token you can natively transfer between the two.
Try it yourself: https://t.co/4MK1VRhX3d
Open beta — try it, break it, transfer it.
ADA's near a five year low. No point pretending otherwise.
But the chart and the network are two different things.
Cardano is still one of the most decentralized chains running.
It has thousands of independent stake pools, one of the longest uptimes in crypto.
Cardano is the blockchain built right from the ground up.
That's true whether $ADA is at $3 or 20 cents.
Conditions like these are rough on projects, builders and also the community.
We must remember the Cardano mission and keep building, improving and working on brining new people in.
Red candles often result in negativity and pointing fingers. This doesn't solve anything.
Let's build through it.
After years of service, @TapTools announcement is a loss for the entire Cardano community. But it's not quite a surprise.
Being in #Cardano data all day, this picture has been forming for more than a year. Most projects are in the same boat: user counts are at all-time lows, engagement is often negligible, and many apps and protocols struggle to reach even double-digit daily active users. Some projects with millions of $ADA in marketcap generate 0 ADA in daily swap volume, sometimes even weekly swap volume. Here's hoping for a short bear market.
Take @cardanzo_tools as an example. NO connection to projects/entities, NO Catalyst funding, NO Treasury, NO VC. After almost 1 Year: less than 500 followers and less than 3,000 $ADA in "funding", despite the fact that it's a nice tool, imho.
But, this started as a fun personal project (out of TapTools' shortcomings actualy, the inability to track some basic token data like liquidity pools paired with assets other than $ADA, token-to-token swaps, or wallets with DeFi positions - and all data that derive from this) and not to make $$$ and has been sustained entirely out of pocket. Who does that, right?
Hence the name that many people dislike 🙂. At the time, the data was more important than a rebrand, and the name simply stuck. Not trying to be offensive!
But I'm quite confident that @TapTools will NOT shut down, someone will step in and continue the project. Quite certain of it.
The stablecoin market cap on @Cardano is up by ~200% YoY.
The growth has been driven by Circle's USDC, Moneta's USDM, and Anzens' USDA.
