We propose to overhaul, refocus, and optimise the current Diffusion stake pool selection.

My laptop got hacked yesterday by someone claiming to be Pierre from the Cardano Foundation.
I have had a relationship with Pierre in the past, we've talked, we've video called.
He reached out to me for a new call, asking about Atrium.
I responded and setup a call for the next day. In the invite, there was a Microsoft Teams link to join.
I joined, I saw Pierres face, his voice, and two other CF members in the call.(I now think this was AI)
It was lagging a bit, and said my Teams software was out of date. It kicked me out and said that I needed to install the new Teams software through the Microsoft Terminal. I stupidly did this, but my laptop was dying so I shut it off immediately. I never use Teams so I thought this was normal.
I messaged him and told him let's just use Google Meets, created the call, and sent the link. He said he got busy and asked me to reschedule.
I have now realized that this was all fake, and a scam.
Moral of the story, be careful. Trust nothing, trust no one.
AI is making scamming more sophisticated, and as someone who is quite technical savvy, I just got cooked.

ADACT was next in line based on the community Diffusion vote.
Thank you to BRAVE for contributing to the Diffusion Staking Basket and Cardano blockchain security!
After around 4 months of back and forth with Pentad & Intersect. Pentad steering committee decided not to reimburse Iagon for the Fireblocks integration fee.
@IntersectMBO recommend it to be approved but Pentad committee decided against.
This integration is a necessary stop-gap solution in order to provide institutional custody solutions for Cardano. If it goes well, this will lead to native integration. This is the solution that was recommend by Fireblocks to show ARR.
We also made steps early on to contact a host of dApps, market makers, capital funds, that could benefit from this solution to see what type of features they would like to see within the integration.
We even invited CF's Global Head of Technical Integrations @michaeldotada to make sure the features were in alignment with the goals. Michiel also attended every meeting leading up to the commercial agreement with Fireblocks.
This is Cardano wide integration, helps every CNT and at the same time provides $ADA native staking and voting features.
It is worth noting that FB wanted to work with us on this stop-gap integration and not the pentad members. They had the option of working with others and choose not to. Prior to pentad formalizing, we were assured by many of their members that they would have no objection to this reimbursement. Our plan was to go to the treasury prior to their pentad proposal being proposed within the Cardano treasury. We waited because of these verbal assurances.
@IagonOfficial will still continue this integration for Cardano and pay for the full fee. We don't plan to go to the treasury for a refund. We hope you like what we deliver. Excited for the end result!
We've been informed by GAIA stake pool that they're retiring.
We'd like to sincerely thank GAIA for their participation and contribution to the Diffusion Staking Basket as one of the 5 small SPOs.
As a consequence, GAIA will be substituted by @BrockCardano BROCK pool. 👇
