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.

Improving Cardano’s Rewards Sharing Scheme benefits every ada holder.
I highly recommend tuning into this SPO Table Talk because this discussion matters for the future of staking on Cardano.
The Incentives Working Group believes they’ve found a way to:
🔹improve ADA staking rewards
🔹address one of Cardano’s longest-standing challenges: “sticky stake”
At the same time, not everyone agrees with the proposed approach, and maybe you won’t either.
And that’s exactly why it’s important to understand both sides of the argument.
If, after hearing the discussion, you support the proposed changes, engage with your SPOs / DReps and encourage them to vote accordingly.

Improving Cardano Reward Sharing Scheme - A Debate
Join us Monday, June 1 at 13:30 UTC for a dedicated SPO Table Talk as we dive into the Cardano Incentives Working Group's Ekklesia ballot.
After more than a year of weekly meetings, simulations, tooling, and deep community research, the Cardano Incentives Working Group has released its Ekklesia ballot. There are 5 items in total: 3 CIPs, two of which also include a vote on initial parameter values using Majority Judgment, a ranked-choice style voting method.
Here is a brief overview of what each proposal aims to address:
CIP-50 | Pledge Leverage Cap
Introduces a new parameter "L" that caps how much stake a pool can effectively use relative to its pledge, with the goal of strengthening Sybil resistance and encouraging better pledge alignment across the network.
CIP-163 | Time-Bound Delegation and Dynamic Rewards
Introduces a `delegatorInactivity` parameter measured in epochs. Wallets that have gone dormant would no longer earn rewards or contribute voting power until reactivated. Rather than returning unclaimed rewards to the reserve, the full rewards pot would be distributed among active participants.
CIP-23 | Fair Minimum Pool Fees
Proposes replacing the existing flat per-epoch `minPoolCost` with a `minPoolMargin` parameter, a minimum variable fee expressed as a percentage of rewards, with the aim of creating a more level playing field across pools of all sizes.
Note that in this ballot, DReps vote with voting power, SPOs vote with pledge.
Why this roundtable?
The ballot is already live, and it is not without controversy. Several No votes have already been cast, making it clear there are differing views in the community. This is the conversation we need to have openly. We will walk through the proposals, give voice to the counterarguments, take your questions live, and close with a call to action.
Joining will be:
@Cerkoryn | Incentives Working Group
@earncoinpool | Incentives Working Group
SPOs / DReps:
@nimuepool@Straightpool4@hix_coffeepool@C1cADA_Markus
Come ready to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and make your voice heard before the vote closes.

Let’s bring Cardano to Token2049
This is a unique opportunity to set stage among other leading projects in our industry.
Let’s put Cardano where it belongs!
EMURGO & Yoroi have voted "Yes" on the Cardano at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: Baseline 'Platinum' Sponsorship Proposal, and we want to be straightforward about what led us there.
Our initial intention was to ABSTAIN on this proposal, given we are the proposer. However, two meaningful updates have changed our position:
▪️ Zero economic gain: We have removed the 15% admin fee to ensure there is no financial benefit to EMURGO, aligning ourselves fully with the community’s interests.
▪️ Founder support: @IOHK_Charles has personally pledged his own resources to further amplify Cardano's presence.
Because we believe so strongly in the need for Cardano to be on a global stage like TOKEN2049, we are voting YES to show our unwavering support for the community.
This is for the builders who have been building on Cardano, bear or bull, the projects that deserve a platform in front of a global audience, and an ecosystem that has earned its place at TOKEN2049.
One Week. One Cardano. Singapore 2026 is the moment for the entire ecosystem to show up together, and EMURGO intends to be part of making that happen.
Cardano is better together, and this proposal can only pass with the support of the community.
The proposal deadline is today.
I am excited to join @IOHK_Charles and the ecosystem on the world stage at Cardano Summit 2026.
If you haven’t voted yet, I urge you to cast your vote for the revised Cardano Summit proposal: https://t.co/g24GrQiuAD
I hope to see you all in Singapore.
🤔 Did you know our Incentives Working Group has accomplished all this in about a year without any funding?
-2 CPSs
-8 CIPs
-2 PCPs, one of which was finally approved by the parameter committee. (Reduce pool min fee to 75 ADA and K to be discussed this week.)
-1 whitepaper
-2 tools for modeling incentives (https://t.co/JD25W9QPvP and https://t.co/XMvOj8Fe50)
-An update to the RSS Simulation engine at the University of Edinburgh Blockchain Technology Lab.
-An Ekklesia ballot to let the community vote on everything.

🤔 CIP-163 creates a proof of life for delegators.
Did you know we have a proof of life for dReps and SPOs but not delegators?
dReps and SPO can vote right now on this CIP and it's initial values.

Roundtable Talk – DRep Participation in Focus: Power Is One Thing, Participation Is Another
📅 May 4, 2026 - 14:00 UTC
Participation, consistency, and accountability remain key themes in recent discussions around DReps. Questions around engagement levels, voting rationale's, and DRep fatigue point to a broader challenge - one needing a public debate.
This Roundtable Talk creates space for open, constructive dialogue.
We’ll explore what healthy participation looks like, how accountability can be strengthened, and what’s needed to support DRePs over time.
The goal is simple, better understand what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to evolve to strengthen DRep participation as intended by design.
