Aiming to decentralized clean energy. Leading ALBA, Ada labs for blockchain applications at UTN.Pool ONE1. Organizer of Cardano Summit & Cardano Tech Week

[ADA Solar @CardanoSolar]

Cardano Tech Summit Buenos Aires 2025 and the regional LATAM Hackathon were much more than an event , they were a celebration of the samurai spirit of the Cardano community in LATAM 🥷⚔️

We want to express our deep gratitude to @Cardano_CF ,the @InputOutputHK , and @IntersectMBO for making this LATAM regional event possible and for supporting education and ecosystem growth in our region.

We were honored to host key leaders, institutions, and projects from across the region and the global ecosystem, including representatives from @UNDP, @UBAuniversidad (Dean @WillyDuran65), @frbautn (Dean @ingoliveto), the CEO of @blockchain_rio, @labitconf, @rafaelfraga_f, @JBriggsLondon, @primetimeindy, @david1casey, @CardanoFeed, @Funintecvzla, @Gov_Chain, @DanielaHubBr, @_khyron, @jsierrax, @carloslodelar, @santicarmuega, @FedeWeill, @RiveroMartinOK, @modp_, @CointelegraphEE, as well as projects and organizations such as @lace_io, @midnightfdn, @txpipe_tools, @FairGateLabs, @Tokenmithr, @Sead_world,@GameChangerOk, @ExuraLabs, @eddalabs_io, @kwarxs, @jotapippo, De Desciquark a Synthum, Potion Tools Collective, @SenseiNode, @FundingCommons, among many others who contributed with content, workshops, presentations and community energy.
Highlights included a simultaneous chess exhibition led by a female Olympic player, 3 HYDRA machines running live, MANDALORIAN for midnight privacy, workshops about MIDNIGHT, Intersect VISION 2030, Txpipe , and 7 technical talks, and the inauguration of the Laboratory of Decentralized Computing and Digital Trust by IO Research , with an academic track on verifiable computation, zkVMs, private verifiable computation and MPC mythbusting.

The entire event was designed around a Japanese theme, honoring Cardano’s origins in Japan and the warrior spirit of the builders who completed the IOG-led course and hackathon :Hackathon prizes of 10,000 USD, awarded together with katanas in three categories: black, red, and white 🥷
• Taiko performances, Kendo demonstrations, and a Japanese food experience with Dorayaki (traditional Japanese sweet) and sushi for attendees
• Special merch: a Japanese-style mate, symbolizing the cultural bridge between Japan, Argentina, and LATAM

We want to thank @IOHK_Charles and @jj_siler for making the inauguration of the Laboratory of Decentralized Computing and Digital Trust at the Summit possible.

Huge thanks as well to the four instructors of the Hackathon and Developers course – @roberm, @kdchaires, @jarturomora and @antonioiglez – and to @adadogpool and @ChileStakepo, who did an amazing job as Masters of Ceremony for the Summit.

Finally, a very special thank you to Cardano Foundation’s Marketing Director @Laura_Mattiucci and Elis Moormaa for their constant support and attention to every detail of the event. 🙌

To every participant, speaker, volunteer, sponsor, and project:
thank you for making this possible – this video is just a glimpse of what Cardano in LATAM is becoming. 🚀

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 Hoskinson just said he has no governance keys, no treasury access, and no control over where Cardano goes next.

I wanted to share context for many who have no idea what is happening on Cardano.

The Genesis keys that created Cardano are burned. Everything now runs through community proposals and votes.

We're seeing projects like TapTools close. The economics are brutal when bond yields beat holding ADA.

Governance is hard, and as a community, I think we can fix things and turn things around.

Daedalus is moving to specialist hands.
@se7en_labs is taking ownership of Daedalus wallet development. Built by the team behind @dripdropz_io, they bring deep ecosystem roots, a proven Cardano track record, and the focused capability the wallet needs to reach its next chapter.
This is decentralization extending into who builds Cardano, not just how it runs. The same principle driving the Daedalus proposal applies here: specialist ownership produces better outcomes than generalist delivery.
Same wallet. Sharper ownership. More capability.

Imagine a different Cardano mindset for builders and community sovereignty that borned on this far-away paradise and not even know about it

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!

Fireside Dev Hang: Building with Midnight Expert | June 3rd, 2026 https://t.co/dRH244AGJU

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]

Great work from @VIA_Labs and @USDMOfficial.

Connecting Midnight and @Cardano testnets is an important step toward interoperable infrastructure, with USDM becoming the first native asset to move between these environments.

Excited to see the groundwork being laid. Learn more 👇

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]

Building with AI tools as a blockchain developer often means fighting hallucinations, broken code, and documentation gaps.

✨ Midnight Expert takes a different approach.

Built for Midnight developers, Midnight Expert is a suite of AI skills for Claude that understands Compact, the SDK, local devnets, testing workflows, and Midnight development patterns.

Instead of relying on confident guesses, it can verify outputs by actually compiling, running, type-checking, and inspecting code.

IO Research: A proposal worth fighting for

From my earliest days in the ecosystem, I was captivated by the idea of paper-based research, a market differentiator that brought seriousness and professionalism to the industry and to Cardano. I was completely fascinated by concepts like liquid democracy. These are contributions to the history of humanity that will be studied for many, many years to come.

That is part of building a legacy. That is what we set out to do, and what I signed up for. Senior government executives and scholars praised the academic work built upon our foundations, work that made our structure and technology so solid and resilient.
These are researchers and PhDs, unmatched and immensely valuable talent that we cannot afford to let go.

And I agree with @IOHK_Charles that this research will be essential to meet the technological challenges ahead, to remain relevant and resilient. To give just one small example, consider the eventual arrival of quantum computing, or the question of scalability.

When the content of these papers is mentioned in universities, it conveys a feasibility and credibility that is beyond question among the most distinguished scholars.

The ink, the words, and the outcomes of those papers are where the engineering and the soundness are later built. Both their upkeep and our participation in them are part of our DNA.

It can often be difficult to process the sheer volume of information presented to us, but I invite you to read some of the content here and to be as amazed as I once was.

Sincerely and on a deeply personal level, without any benefit whatsoever to myself or those around me, I invite you to support the governance initiatives and proposals related to Cardano Vision 2026: Human-Centred, Scalable, Post-Quantum Secure, IO Research

[Cardano₳fterDark @CardanoAftrDark]

Charles Hoskinson just poured his heart out on Spaces.
He has no power to unilaterally fix Cardano, gets zero love, catches every single blame for failures, and watches his funding proposals get rejected by the same people who then complain nothing improves.
This man is getting crushed under undeserved hate while carrying the weight of the entire project he built from nothing.
Cardano community it’s time to wake up.
Unify, support the founder and the team whose vision created this entire foundation, or watch it slowly die.
No more toxicity.

Foundational research is how Cardano stays ahead of decisions, not behind them.

Execution sharding, or segmentation, remains an open problem – cross-shard coordination and interconnectivity are unresolved across blockchain systems. Ethereum, NEAR, and Polkadot are each advancing their own approaches.

Cardano's EUTXO model could enable a differentiated path. CV26 allocates 0.5 FTE to investigate the science now, before the decision becomes urgent.

📺 Matthias Fitzi, IO Research on the rationale:

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Last week saw strong progress across Cardano’s smart contract tooling stack!

• The High Assurance team finished work on the latest built-ins (arrays and values), reaching full compliance with the conformance test suite. The tool is now ready for upcoming hard fork changes and the next Plutus Core release.

• The community also approved funding for a consortium including Harmonic Labs, IO, Lantr, Midgard Labs, No.Witness Labs, SAIB, and TxPipe to extend Blaster and connect it with tools like Aiken, Pebble, Futura, and Scalus.

This work also improves the developer experience with easier setup, Visual Studio Code support, and shared safety checks for building smart contracts.

Steady progress on making development on Cardano simpler and more reliable.

I'm taking a break. TTYL

Midnight is ready to enable privacy even in a post-quantum world 👇

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Leios is getting closer.

The first public SPO testnet remains on track for June 2026, and progress this week was significant:
• Treasury funding approved by the Cardano community with 88% support
• CIP-0164 update reduced Leios block certificates from ~8 kB to ~200 bytes — around 40× smaller
• The reference implementation was successfully rebased onto the upcoming Dijkstra era
• Piranha, a new adversarial testing tool, is now live for protocol attack simulation

A lot of deep engineering work is coming together behind the scenes and the first public testnet is getting closer!

Cardano futures are now available for 24/7 trading on @CMEGroup.

Regulated, institutional access to $ADA is a meaningful signal of how far this ecosystem has come.
