515.2M $NIGHT moved from Wanchain’s bridge to one Cardano wallet in 8 minutes.
Then it was sold on DEXs, used as Liqwid collateral, and the ADA was sent to a fresh vault and exchange deposit addresses.
I traced the wallet flow 🧵

Hey Cardano!
You are interested on Leios but don't feel technical enough to run a node or a stake pool on https://t.co/GtWYlYm0kk?
No problem, you can still follow what's going on, just visit and bookmark https://t.co/mQd3uFY4rJ by https://t.co/ZDBskvO6lH It's a lovely place to see Leios in action!
Hey Cardano!
If you run a Cardano node, especially in the cloud, give the LSM backend a try.
Memory footprint down from 15.9 GB to just 5.5 GB.
Mainnet, fully synced.
Same tip, a fraction of the RAM bill.
Yesterday the maybe most unexpected moment of my professional career so far happened.
I was invited to the German Parliament to speak at a panel about Agent-To-Agent Payments using Blockchain.
An absolutely unreal moment.
The room was packed with politician & businesses. I spoke about our work with Masumi, the work with Serviceplan, how companies are hiring & selling agents on our agent marketplace today already and why we chose to build on Cardano.
Big shout-out and thanks to Bundesblock and Member of Parliament Marvin Schulz.
We've built the first iteration of the Orion Fund dashboard to track key performance metrics, including TVL, on-chain activity, and portfolio distribution.
These metrics will be available for the entire community to monitor as the Fund progresses, and we'll keep improving the dashboard based on your feedback.

Cardano's front door hasn't been redesigned in years. So we redesigned it.

I appreciate that the Cardano Foundation and EMURGO+Yoroi abstained from the IO Research proposal.
Governance will become more legitimate if Pentad members do not approve each other's proposals.
Let's see whether the proposal can get approved without their direct support.
This week, many updates to creating bounties, funding escrow contracts, accepting stablecoins like USDM and USDCx, and submitting jobs to bounties. Lots of UX tweaks this week.
Next week, it's rewarding workflows, refunds and disputes.
People love to complain about Charles.
But they forget legendary moments like these.
Charles built Cardano from scratch.
He gave billions of $NIGHT to the community for free.
All those years, he dedicated his time, energy, and passion to Cardano and Midnight.
Instead of complaining, maybe it’s time to show some support and appreciation for everything he has done for this ecosystem.
Because after every bear market comes a bull market.
Don’t complain. Show some love.
Drop a 💙 to say: Thank you, Charles.
In difficult times we need to stick together. Focus on the mission and ignore the haters. What we’re learning is that while there are many benefits of a decentralized system; an executive function to set the parameters is needed especially in an industry sector that has not fully matured.
We welcome conversations with @IOHK_Charles@F_Gregaard@JBriggsLondon to perhaps revisit our current governance. I believe there is a place for the community, DReps and CCs but perhaps more focused in our asks or better incentivised. We have or will be reaching out to the FEs and Intersect to find a way forward.
And in all the doom and gloom; we do have some positive announcements in the pipeline for Cardano. Stay tuned.
As one of the official interim-CEOs of Cardano today, I have some announcements to make.
- The SPO call was full today with good participation. Everyone is preparing for the Van Rossem hardfork. SPOs are upgrading to 11.0.1 release to ensure they are ready.
- I have had 3 meetings with development teams and all are still building.
- I'm personally working on a demo wallet for @Shield_USD on Midnight. The guts are working and I'm on to the fun part of the UX. @iamwilco has some amazing designer skills.
