Cardano smart contracts. Written in Java. ☕ https://t.co/CbFpBzNBAe

Meet JuLC: a Java → UPLC compiler with type-safe validators, and AI-native workflows.

Point Claude Code or Cursor at the docs + MCP and start building.

Not perfect yet, but ready to rock & roll on testnet🤘

You won’t hear this from the Cardano community, Cardano KOLs, or Cardano accounts, so I’ll say it myself... $SONG on Cardano has just reached a new ATH, with a market cap of over 20,000,000 $ADA ❤️
We continue to dream, we continue to build, even after 17 months of being ignored by the entire Cardano community... You can keep arguing 24/7 about proposals, Catalyst, and the treasury. We will keep building our dreams 24/7...

🤝 And soon, when we are ready, we will stand up and leave the house where we were never welcome...

WE ARE LONG ON $SONG 🏗️

Cardano DeFi is ready for prime time.

Today we’re introducing PRIME:

a 12-month AlphaGrowth-run program to help Cardano attract liquidity, deepen DeFi usage, and become a first-class destination for capital.

As I have seen current governance, I think Cardano is repeating a mistake from the 20th century.

The socialist calculation debate concluded that "central committees cannot replace market price signals." All socialist nations failed to expand their economies in the 20th century. Yet our "Treasury governance" is making exactly this mistake.

Hayek's insight: prices compress the dispersed knowledge of millions of decision-makers. No committee, however expert, can process this information.

When DReps vote on marketing/commercial Treasury allocations, this is a political process replacing price discovery.

The irony: Cardano brands itself as "decentralization." But Treasury-based resource allocation, where political voting replaces market discovery, is structurally identical to central planning. Many DReps drawing from one central pool = Gosplan with a smiley face.

Public Choice theory also pointed out that bureaucrats who say "we serve the people" actually maximize their own budgets. "We need funding for the ecosystem" is the Cardano version of "we serve the workers."

We knew this type of economy always fails against free market capitalism. No one can be better than the invisible hand of the market. Commercial projects must be funded by profit-making entities with market expertise. DReps, on the other hand, are not directly responsible for outcomes of commercial/marketing projects. It's a wrong fit.

If we seriously want commercial/marketing success, don't be socialist. Let the economy be in the market's hands.

Stop repeating "Community, community, community."
We should think outside the box.

$ADA price weakening due to "high treasurie spending" is more of a narrative problem and a self fulfilling prophecy.

Did you know the sell pressure on the BTC Network to cover the mining cost: $10bn to $15bn depending on energy cost, hash rate, hardware efficiency and BTC price

JUST IN: Cardano $ADA named one of Fortune's 30 projects pushing the digital asset ecosystem forward 🇺🇸

Cardano is featured in the "Blockchains & Protocols" category.

Fortune is one of the world's most established business media brands, behind the iconic Fortune 500.

[Everstake @everstake_pool]

Cardano is going to surprise everyone this year!

We firmly believe that cardano:native is one of the most undervalued projects in the entire space and our support for this amazing ecosystem is unwavering.

We are seeing massive signs of dormant wallets awakening. There are huge spikes in the age consumed metric which means that older coins are finally starting to move in a big way. Historically this kind of movement from long term holders is a very strong signal for a major trend reversal.

The market might be distracted right now but the fundamentals are incredibly bullish. We are so proud to stand with this community and secure the network!

Cardano will win!

[TxPipe @txpipe_tools]

We usually describe Dolos as a "Data Node". Although accurate, it's easier to think about it as a DB-Sync alternative.

As with everything, each option has its trade-offs.

Here's a technical comparison between the two. 🧵

Privacy works best with UTXOs.
Intents work best with UTXOs.
Formal verification works best with UTXOs.

There has quite literally never been a better time to be a UTXO chain

[$cerkoryn | dRep @Cerkoryn]

Time for a change of perspective.

[$inputendorsers | Cardano DRep @InputEndorsers]

@cameron Cardano has formal verification for ages. You didn’t seem to care then.

Sounds like bag bias, tbh

Why choose a protocol with a massive hole discovered days ago that “will introduce” formal verification?

van Rossem hard fork update 🍴

The Cardano PreProd testnet has ratified the hard fork action on June 5, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.

This means that PreProd will hard fork to Protocol Version 11 on June 10, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.

Another major milestone on the road to Mainnet!

[Adam Dean @adamKDean]

In classic Cardano fashion, it sounds like we have no shortage of products (is this a decentralization? 🤣) similar to TapTools that may be able to fill the void: @BendingData @cardanzo_tools @hizz_io. Maybe the best path is to let it go and see if these others can fill the gaps? Maybe the domain could go to @Cardano_CF and they could do a landing page similar to the explorer options?

This won't be the last business that gets eaten by this market and we won't be able to save them all... Plan accordingly

I've upgraded the Hydra Demo to Hydra v2.0.0 Alpha 💪

I spent several hours talking with multiple developers about Hydra use cases this month. Two impressions:

1. It's genuinely hard to pin down what this is actually useful for.
2. Hydra itself isn't mature enough yet for that conversation to even be productive.

I was a strong Hydra fan a few years back, but:
・v1.0.0 (Oct 2025) shipped with a "Pre-release" tag on GitHub
・v1.0 → v2.0 alpha: 7+ BREAKING changes in 6 months
・v1.3.0 fixed a fee estimation bug that had been overcharging by ~4x
・v1.3.0 raised the default contestation period from 10 min to 12 hours "to align with Cardano's safe zone for mainnet safety"
・v2.0.0 alpha is where the "non-abortable head," "permanently stuck head," and "silently dropped deposit" bugs finally got fixed
・partial fanout: still unresolved 8 years after the 2018 paper, even v2.0.0 warns it's needed for full safety
・The hard-coded 100 ADA mainnet commit cap was also only removed in v2.0.0
And even if it does reach production — what are the actual use cases?
Hydra has architectural constraints: fixed party set + all parties must stay online and co-signing. New parties cannot join an open head — by design, not a bug. Browser/mobile use is also out: hydra-node is a Haskell daemon, so end users can't participate directly. They have to trust an operator, which collapses into a custodial structure.
What's left is enterprise B2B settlement, AI agent micropayments, internal DEX matching — known-party use cases. But does that really deliver a good ROI for the Cardano ecosystem?
