@VIA_Labs @dannyribar Welcome aboard and good luck with the next steps.

[VIA Labs @VIA_Labs]

AnyToAny is cleared for takeoff in the @Catalyst_onX Pilot 2026!

It will turn stablecoins and tokens on EVM chains into any Cardano token, and back, in one step.

Big thanks to @dannyribar and the Catalyst team. Now we build.

More soon👀

@Cardano_CF 🫡 let's keep going!

JUST IN: 100,000 farm lands in India are now registered on the Cardano blockchain.

This marks a milestone for https://t.co/QKQl4Cqs8X’s agricultural trust layer, bringing farm data on-chain to support more verifiable, reusable records across the ecosystem.

[SyncAI Network @SyncAI_Network]

SyncAI has officially been onboarded to @Catalyst_onX for the 2026 Pilot!

It's time to connect Cardano to everyday commerce and we're going to help achieve that by making Cardano stablecoins spendable in the real world with anyqr.

Thank you to the Catalyst team for the hard work and commitment to elevating Catalyst funding standards, we are thankful for you.

Next stop: mainnet

Yesterday, we kicked off our multi-year partnership with UCLA.

In the first Cardano masterclass at @UCLAAnderson, students designed and pitched Web3 businesses with AI-assisted smart contract development.

The next generation of builders starts with education like this.

[Danny 🐣 @dannyribar]

great video! 👏

as of today - seven out of twelve conditionally selected projects building on @Cardano have passed the onboarding and had their funding affirmed in this summer @catalyst_onX pilot

onboarding is where we double click across all elements of the teams + their proposals to identify where all stands in real terms

as such - with threshold standards high - it's unlikely that all twelve will get the go ahead - as this isn't a quota - it's a ceiling.

so far - the go ahead received - in no particular order - these teams:

@wayupio / @AnvilDevAgency
@ATLAS_DEFI_
@SyncAI_Network
@L4VAprotocol
@liqwidfinance
@VIA_Labs
@NucastIO

legacy Catalyst is being wind-down, new era is being tested and we're really excited with the team to see how it plays out. so far pretty good. cautiously optimistic that new model far exceeds the legacy capabilities

quantity < quality is the new theme

more to come 👨‍🍳

[Project Catalyst @Catalyst_onX]

@L4VAprotocol @PythNetwork @dannyribar Execution is what matters now more than anything - good luck and welcome aboard!

[L4VA @L4VAprotocol]

We're honored to be 1 of 12 selected out of 120 applicants in @Catalyst_onX to receive a 200,000 ADA grant, unlocking AI asset manager, $USDCx integration, and oracles on @PythNetwork.

This is jet fuel for our roadmap🔥

Onboarding is now complete 🚀

Thanks @dannyribar and team for the hard work!

Huge thank you to the @Catalyst_onX team and the Cardano community for the support!

Now let’s build this MONSTER. 🔥

Fully on-chain. Cardano-native. Stablecoin-powered PERPS DEX.

[Project Catalyst @Catalyst_onX]

Welcome aboard! Next stop - @Cardano Mainnet. Good luck.

[Nucast.io @NucastIO]

Proud to share that we've completed onboarding for the 2026 Catalyst pilot.

@Catalyst_onX has evolved and we're really excited about its new direction. There's a stronger emphasis on execution, accountability and putting real products into the hands of users.

It's exactly the evolution Cardano needs.

We're thrilled to be building at the intersection of decentralized identity, privacy and real-world adoption.

We believe the opportunity is enormous and will demonstrate what Cardano can deliver outside of the crypto bubble.

Very excited for the road ahead and to participate in a new and improved Catalyst program.

Let's go Cardano!

GM #Cardano - you're in the news!

Today we launch the Barça Fan Lab: https://t.co/xgr9fKUrA6

We've spent the last two years working behind the scenes to bring one of the world's biggest brands to Cardano, and today we're live.

Thank you to everyone at Barça Vision, Andamio, and UTXOS for bringing the project to life.

This journey is just beginning, and we'll continue to tell the story of this project in the weeks to come. It's a story about a vision we share, the relationships we've built, our technical achievements, and where we're going next.

For now, try it: https://t.co/KCJtIt3LoE

The Catalyst Pilot 2026 cohort is here.

12 projects bringing stablecoins, oracles, programmable tokens, and verifiable identity into real-world sectors.

40% of funding is paid up front, the rest is tied to on-chain adoption on Cardano.

Meet the cohort: https://t.co/SkmyBbYBjv

solid month in the @cardano universe 👀

first, thirteen teams through @draper_u’s Genesis program earlier this month

then, eight teams announced for the Cardano Accelerator Program through @cardano_CF’s Venture Hub

twenty-one teams getting support to turn their work into businesses that last

add @alphagrowth1’s @Cardano_Prime ambitions for DeFi, and @OrionFund’s work helping founders prepare to scale and attract investment

more practical ways for builders to get backing, find their footing and reach actual users

and then…at last this week, Catalyst

nearly a year since fund14 results that minted on oct 10 then, the next Catalyst pilot cohort is heading for the launchpad

to everyone who put their work forward, and everyone who helped us get here: thank you

been a helluva ride. feels like a century

but it’s [seatbelts] on 🚀
