🚨Cardano needeed this crysis in order to push to a new All Time High.

All FUDers and paper hands have now been flushed.

Only the strong and loyal community that will push it to new highs is left.

A new chapter begins.

🚨 UPDATE: $ADA drops below $0.16 for the first time since 2020 as Hoskinson announces a break, yet social dominance and on-chain activity hit historic highs, per Santiment.

[Cardano₳fterDark @CardanoAftrDark]

Charles Hoskinson just poured his heart out on Spaces.
He has no power to unilaterally fix Cardano, gets zero love, catches every single blame for failures, and watches his funding proposals get rejected by the same people who then complain nothing improves.
This man is getting crushed under undeserved hate while carrying the weight of the entire project he built from nothing.
Cardano community it’s time to wake up.
Unify, support the founder and the team whose vision created this entire foundation, or watch it slowly die.
No more toxicity.

Late at night last night, at the 3.5th node diversity workshop, I was able to get a Leios node working, connected to a private devnet, and submitting sundaeswap transactions. So far as @ch1bo_ knows, were the first people to execute smart contracts / a dApp on a real Leios testnet 😅

At the end of the day, this is a vanity milestone, but I'm always proud when Sundae is able to be on the bleeding edge in Cardano.

The private network is currently being pushed to 5 kilobytes worth of transactions per second, which is around 25 txs/s.

The testnet is just warming up: linear Leios is expected to do around 40x that throughout!

If you're curious, the main bottleneck right now is the mempool, which we had lots of interesting discussions about how to redesign to support the increased load of Leios.

All that is to say, Leios is very real, progressing fast, and very exciting.

Cardano continues to rank in the top 3 chains in terms of developer activity over the last 3 years!!

The builders here are always building and one day it will pay off 💙

🚨NEW- Charles Hoskinson says @Cardano_CF governance is real and fully community engaged, bullish for $ADA holders🚀🚀

[Minute Markets @minute_markets]

Everybody is talking about Cardano

Everybody is bullish on Cardano.

Are you? 😉

[Dave @ItsDave_ADA]

I've improved DaveGov so you can now dig much deeper into Cardano governance and DRep voting behaviour.

You can now see things like how much ADA your DRep has voted to spend historically, how much they have currently committed towards treasury withdrawals, how many proposals they have voted on, how many rationales they have provided, and broader voting behaviour across governance actions.

I've also added better analytics around treasury actions including enacted, pending, withdrawn and approved proposals, along with participation rates and pending yes vote inclusion tracking against treasury spend.

This morning I focused heavily on performance improvements as well. DRep search is now significantly faster, governance analytics are more responsive, and caching improvements mean the platform scales and feels better with every additional user.

There's also now historical comparison functionality, so you can compare how DReps voted during 2025 against current governance behaviour.

The goal is simple. Make Cardano governance more transparent, measurable and easier to understand at scale.

If you have any ideas, let me know and i'll try get them added, enjoy :)

[Dave @ItsDave_ADA]

This morning I've created a new dashboard on DaveGov, the goal is to showcase Cardanos largest DRep spenders, the DReps that have voted Yes on the most ADA withdrawals so far each year, this is configurable by year, so you can see this data also historically.

You can see the leaderboard total YES votes in ADA, and the amount withdrawn from the treasury so far.

I won't post the top spenders in the screenshot below, but feel free to have a browse, this is purely for awareness. Voting Yes for most proposals keeps you popular, but doesn't enforce fiscal responsibility or prove that you understand what you are voting for.

This page auto-updates. Hope you like it, feedback completely welcome!

"Cardano is alive. The community is engaged."

[Sssebi🦁 @Sssebi]

The Governance drama will pass.
The Cardano community will get back together.
All the funded proposals will be successful.
Cardano will be recognized as the greatest chain.

Everything will come together because it is done by people that care.

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

[Frederik Gregaard @F_Gregaard]

@IOHK_Charles Couldn't agree more @IOHK_Charles.

We would love to host you and the team in Switzerland for this purpose.

Cardano doesn't need more governance complexity or complete unity, but it does need everyone pulling in the same rough direction!

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

We’re just 0.5% away from this Treasury governance proposal passing. Cardano needs more builders — and this proposal tackles the blockers devs keep naming: fragmented tooling, scattered docs, weak onboarding and a steep learning curve. #Cardano
