Another protocol in the Tx3 registry to check out: Strike Staking.
@strikeperps is a decentralized derivatives platform. STRIKE is its governance token, and you can stake it on Cardano to earn a cut of trading fees.
A quick look at the protocol 🧵

Tx3's value proposition is simple: let devs interact with UTxO protocols as if they were simple APIs.
Let's take a look at a concrete example.
Let's integrate calls to @BodegaCardano. 🧵👇
Ethereum has its ABI. Web2 has OpenAPI. Cardano needs a way to describe how to interact with its dApp ecosystem in a programmatic / composable way.
Adoption won't come from humans clicking on 10 different frontends.
We need to embed Cardano into existing workflows.
Every dev who's re-implemented Cardano ledger primitives has felt the pain, especially during hardfork season.
A shared protobuf schema + codegen collapses that into a trivial CLI one-liner.
Talking to a Cardano node shouldn't be hard. It's the biggest hurdle for new devs.
UTxO RPC is a developer-friendly alternative: standard gRPC, auto-generated SDKs, and a rich query surface.
A quick tour 🧵👇
Blockfrost has rightfully earned its position as the lingua franca for Cardano data — most dApp, wallet, and tx builder speaks it.
Dolos serves a subset of the official API via its Mini-Blockfrost endpoint — so existing SDKs and tx builders just work.
Quick start 👇🧵
Built with love for Cardano, and powered by https://t.co/4CdNyNjEGt I definitely recommend checking them out if you are building something on Cardano and need scalable and reliable infra resources.

Ghost chain? No devs? We'll see about that!
Cardano Buidler Fest 2026 registration opened a few days ago. Each time a ticket is purchased, one of these ghosts 👻 turns into a Cardano nerd 🤓.

This is awesome. Tx3 already appears in the developer ecosystem survey after just a few months of existence and while still in beta.
@txpipe_tools hasn't shared much yet, but v1 is coming, and it's going to be everything I ever wanted for Cardano DevEx 🫶
Now, more than ever, let's focus on building.
Cardano Buidler Fest #3 🧉🇦🇷 - Save the date!
📅 March 24-25, 2026
🌐 Buenos Aires, Argentina
🏨 Wyndham Nordelta Hotel
Registration info coming soon. Stay tuned.
Last week taught us that being a Cardano SPO is no walk in the park — managing infra is complex.
What happens when we add 10+ partner-chains + Midgard + Hydra + bridges + oracles? How do we unify operations without compromising decentralization?
Enter: SuperNode 🧵👇
Every now and then, I get to introduce the Cardano stack to a new dev. The perplexity on their faces is unmistakable.
It makes me wonder:
- Are we just masochists who like it rough?
- Is the UTxO model to blame?
- What does it have to do with Monkey Island?
Let me explain🧵👇
