Cardano is very close to hitting 13 million blocks and is just over 200GB in size.

Engineering excellence.

[TapTools @TapTools]

Most of the Cardano community has been here for years.

We were here before smart contracts.

Many of us held $ADA from $3.00 down to $0.25.

We’ve endured countless waves of FUD.

And yet, we’re still here.

Still building. Still holding.

Cardano is built on resilience.

The $1T/year crypto trade automation landscape

Surge is a web-based Cardano trade automation platform. It enables users to run bots that execute strategic trades across Cardano DEXs without using code.

There are similar platforms in other crypto venues:

Hummingbot:
- Python framework to run automated trading strategies.
- Supports DEXs and CEXs
- Up to $34B in annual volume
- Requires technical setup

3commas
- Enables users to run DCA, grid, and signal bots
- Supports mostly CEXs, some DEX's
- Up to $225B in annual volume
- User friendly

Pionex
- Features 16+ built-in automated trading bots
- Supports mostly CEXs, some DEXs
- $720B in annual volume
- User friendly

Trade automation generates roughly $1 trillion in annual volume for the cryptocurrency industry. Surge brings the same infrastructure offered elsewhere to Cardano.

Congratulations to the @SurgeCardano team on going live on Cardano mainnet.

Non-custodial market-making is real infrastructure,
and Cardano needs more teams building at this layer.

Well executed.

Mainnet day 1 in the books 📕

Since our mainnet launch less than 24 hours ago, Surge has already begun facilitating on-chain trades and generating revenue.

Here are the stats so far:

▫️Over 1 Million ADA in DEX volume
▫️Over 1,000 ADA in Revenue
▫️Over 130 Unique Users
▫️Over 2,000 on-chain transactions

100% of this revenue will accumulate and be claimable by SURGE holders when our "holders page" goes live.

Since launch, community feedback has been valuable and is already being addressed.

We’re preparing expanded tutorials with in-depth guidance on common friction points, including strategy configuration, pair selection, and fund management.

Protocol updates begin rolling out tomorrow, including the following features and fixes:

▫️Wallet upload default file type (JSON vs CSV)
▫️Balance-aware min/max trade size hints
▫️Verified tokens and visible token IDs
▫️Bug fixes and performance improvements
▫️Full fee breakdown (Surge, DEX/chain, LP)
▫️Improved portfolio balance-over-time chart

Thanks everyone for the support and don't hesitate to keep the feedback rolling in.

Let's have a great rest of the week 🫡

I want to thank all the Jeets out there for their sacrifice. GG to your gains (most probable losses though). We going Higheeeeeor

Surge targets Cardano DEX volume and active users directly with the strongest resource-to-volume-generation mechanism to date by a wide margin.

Our Catalyst Fund 15 proposal, for example, proposes the use of 200k ADA to run spread and arbitrage strategies on Cardano DEXs that target maximum daily volume.

The goal is 50 to 100+ million in Cardano DEX volume over a 2 to 8 month span and 500-5000 monthly active wallets. This represents an expected 500x multiple of ADA resources in generated volume, which is considered the most critical factor on Cardano today for attracting investment and users.

Furthermore, the portion of this 200k ADA that is gradually absorbed by fees flows primarily to two beneficial places 1.) right back to the Cardano treasury (via chain fees), and 2.) to Cardano liquidity pools (via LP fees)

@F_Gregaard Sirs, give us USDC or USDT and leave the selfies aside. Our eco is drying up.

@bigpey 2025? Old news.. I look forward to 2026 and the answer is $SURGE . Look it up

🚨 CARDANO'S LIQUIDITY CRISIS IN ONE SCREENSHOT 🚨
Someone just sold 14.4M ADA (~$7.2M) on a Cardano DEX. He received: $847K
HE LOST $6.35 MILLION TO SLIPPAGE.
That's 88% slippage. On a top-10 blockchain. In 2025.
This isn't just bad execution. This is a market structure failure.Thin liquidity + no professional market makers = retail getting absolutely destroyed on every large trade.

This is why @SurgeCardano exists:
🌊 Automated market-making strategies that provide DEEP liquidity 🌊 Absorb large orders across multiple price levels
🌊 Bring institutional-grade execution to Cardano 🌊 Turn $7M trades into $7M exits, not $847K disasters
Cardano needs VOLUME. Surge makes it happen.
No more 88% slippage. No more liquidity deserts.

Currencies, Markets, and the Engine of Cardano Activity

The strength of any currency lies in its usage. Fungibility, the ability for one unit to hold identical value everywhere, depends on assets being continuously bought and sold for that currency. Without active use, even the most elegant currency design holds no value.

MAU, TVL, and transaction volume are seen by investors as the most important metrics for investment in the blockchain industry, and for good reason: they are the same fundamentals that have defined every successful currency throughout history.

Modes of Exchange

Economies operate through two forms of trade:

▫️Profit driven, where participants exchange primarily for financial return

▫️Utility driven, where trade fulfills a direct resource or distribution need

Globally, $10 to $15 trillion in profit driven trades occur daily, with the thinnest margins narrowing to as little as 0.001%. These trades exploit price inefficiencies in anything with monetary value: cars, real estate, manufacturing equipment, equities, and so on.

Why Surge Matters

On Cardano, utility driven exchange is still limited by the real world value represented on chain, making organic growth slower.

Profit driven exchange, however, holds existing opportunity and can be automated, and this is where Surge comes in.

Surge enables continuous, automated trading at scale for anyone.

Because on-chain activity has intrinsic value to Cardano, running strategies even at minimal profit margins creates meaningful value for the entire ecosystem.

As profit thresholds drop, transaction opportunities multiply, directly increasing network activity while keeping trades purposeful, stabilizing prices, maintaining pegs, and improving liquidity.

Surge becomes a mechanism not only for individual profit but for reinforcing Cardano’s core metrics, the ones that drive usage, investment, and visibility that benefit everyone.

By lowering the barrier to efficient trading, Surge unlocks the next phase of Cardano growth, converting untapped profit-based opportunities into a decentralized, self reinforcing system of on-chain activity.

Activity begets activity, and Surge targets a clear, scalable source of it.
