Everybody laughed when some of us said top 10 would become difficult, and that eventually even top 15 would be at risk if Cardano kept spending without proper discipline.
Now look where we are.
This was never about being negative. It was about basic treasury management. Supply matters. Sell pressure matters. Incentives matter. Accountability matters.
ADA holders carry the cost when treasury ADA is spent. That cost is real, even when it is wrapped in good intentions or future promises.
At some point Cardano has to become more fiscally responsible. Or we can keep attacking the people who care about spending, while pretending the consequences are somehow unexpected. Strategic spend is essential.
The treasury is not infinite. Long term value needs discipline.
Cardano is about to drop out the top 15, are you listening yet?
Okay. For the sake of #Cardano and the overall situation, let's try something.
Since Charles blocked me he does not see my messages, so i NEED YOU, to do one thing please:
Tag Charles by creating a post with the message between START/END:
--- START ---
@IOHK_Charles, @HolgerCardano24 wants you to know the following:
I would like to invite you to a private 1-on-1 call with me. No BS, no fighting, no recordings - just two grown men having a constructive conversation for the sake of our ecosystem.
I will follow you for the next 24 hours. Unblock me, follow me back, and DM me. Then we can switch to another channel where we can talk privately.
It will be worth it. #Cardano is much bigger than both of us, and I sincerely hope you accept the offer to have an honest and constructive conversation.
Thanks!
--- END ---
Please EVERYONE create a post with that content.
Let's make it happen! Thank you!
Statur: First Look at Reputation in Action
We’re opening the curtain on Statur — a reputation model for the Cardano ecosystem designed to make positive participation more visible, measurable, and rewarding.
⭐️ Public profiles.
⭐️ Node operator insights.
⭐️ Delegation context.
⭐️ Reputation that can grow with real activity.
We’re building. We’re delivering. More to come.
WHAT MONSTER HAVE WE UNLEASHED? 🦖
Cardano’s Net Change Limit is 350,000,000 ADA. That's our limit to spend until mid next year.
Total requested?
🤯699,816,012 ADA.
That is basically DOUBLE the limit.
😲 358M via Ekklesia / Intersect.
😳 273M live on-chain.
😨 67.8M already ratified.
We cannot afford to spend like this.
At this pace, the 1.7B ADA treasury gets chewed through in a couple of years.
We should be spending WELL BELOW the NCL, not smashing through it.
Now we can only hope ADA goes up and these proposals return real value back to the treasury.
Because if not, this gets ugly fast.
DReps, get ready to take out your red markers and vote no! It's an unfortunate circumstance, but a lot of good research and development won't go through this year.

BREAKING: 🔮 Pyth PRO Oracle is now officially LIVE on Cardano $ADA mainnet.
This brings institutional-grade pricing layer to Cardano for perpetuals, synthetics, lending, and RWAs.
Cardano just got a huge upgrade for DeFi.
ONWARDS.
$IAG $500 investment now = $50K Tomorrow 💪😎
Fundamentals of price action:
🔷Higher Low after 3 corrective waves = ideal for ACCUMULATION
🔷Weekly MACD lowest levels since 2022 = ideal for ACCUMUALTION
Based on the LOG FIB levels from current price action the 1.0 is at $2.24 for the $IAGUSD pair for the next impulse to achieve (+7500% gain from current value) when the pattern completes!

Paid for by Iagon without raiding the Cardano Treasury.
For the benefit of ALL Cardano.
The antonym definition of grifting.
@IagonOfficial taking the helms and leading the way.
I won’t tag Charles, but we all know he’s pleased and impressed!
I guess this message is needed because I understand why some people are emotional right now. When someone with influence attacks a project, some panic and the current chart makes it look far worse than the underlying reality.
But Charles does not build Iagon. Charles does not control our enterprise pipeline. Charles does not control our revenue strategy. Charles does not control whether we ship, commercialize or deliver royalties to stakers - That responsibility is on us.
Our target market is not dependent on Cardano retail sentiment. We are focused on Web2, enterprise adoption, storage, compute, compliance and real commercial use cases. The Würth work is one example of that direction.
So people need to decide what they believe in - a temporary public argument or the fundamentals of what @IagonOfficial is building.
If holders let fear define the project, then yes, people with influence can damage any builder with a few posts. But if the community looks at execution, revenue, partnerships, product delivery and long-term adoption, then outside noise does not decide our future.
I cannot tell anyone what to do. Everyone has to make their own decision. But I can say this clearly - the team is still here, the work is still happening, announcements will come when ready and the best response to this situation is EXECUTION $IAG
Let me say it straight, no script…
@IagonOfficial dropped because of a public clash between the CEO and Charles. That’s it. And that was enough for the market to do what it always does — react emotionally.
But if you step back and actually look at what matters…
Iagon is still building decentralized storage infrastructure… yes.
Still operating in DePIN, one of the strongest narratives right now… yes.
Still aligned with something that isn’t going anywhere: data, AI, and storage demand… yes.
Still has real enterprise potential beyond retail hype… yes.
Still actively developing… yes.
So what actually changed?
The price. That’s it.
This happens all the time. People react to tweets, not fundamentals. Then they wonder why they buy late or sell at the worst moment.
If you’re serious about analyzing projects, you can’t evaluate a company based on a Twitter argument. You look at whether the product is still there, whether the team is still executing, whether the problem they solve still exists.
And in this case… all of that is still intact.
Markets are emotional in the short term.
But long term, fundamentals are what actually win.
This is a solid proposal overall. I'd ask other entities to pay attention to the level of detail that should be standard for larger asks.
It nicely structured and it actually tries to build a system
attention - proof - qualified leads. This is the right direction if Cardano wants to be taken seriously by enterprise.
I also like that it is not just selling vague awareness. It at least attempts to connect positioning, proof assets, vertical messaging and lead routing into something that can be repeated and scaled.
That said, there are still areas where it should improve.
$ADA pricing basis should be updated to reflect the current market price or at time of withdrawal. Treasury asks should be grounded in a market-relevant conversion basis. The current buffer is way to high imo.
Proposal should improve the parts on accountability -
- what exactly counts as a qualified lead
- how leads are routed into the ecosystem
- who owns follow-up
- what success looks like at 30/90/180 days
- how the wider ecosystem benefits
I'd also like to see Serviceplan provide a more detailed expenditure breakdown, rather than a generic rundown of broad categories.For a proposal of this size, more sub-categories would help the community properly assess cost efficiency, agency fees, media spend, production and deliver
These improvements would make this even stronger
You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.
Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.
NO.
@OzDefi I buy ADA, trade for IAG, I stake IAG.
Rinse and repeat.
Don’t feel comfortable playing with DeFi on a daily basis, and I assume most feel this way. Just as most people aren’t day trading stocks. Key is to attract institutional investors who will use DeFi platforms daily.
I'm voting NO on this treasury proposal. Not because Summit or TOKEN2049 are bad ideas.
I'm voting No because this proposal asks the ecosystem to fund a premium visibility strategy without giving enough clarity, accountability or direct ecosystem return for the size of the ask
Another strategic milestone for Iagon’s global brand presence.
The Iagon trademark has been officially published in the United States 🇺🇸 by the USPTO.
As we continue building enterprise-ready decentralized cloud infrastructure, securing and strengthening the Iagon brand in key global markets remains a core priority.
Words have more impact if you actually act the way you preach.
"If you are really here for Cardano, then don’t be an asshole to the projects that are investing in our ecosystem."
Correct, Iagon was the first to help $Snek get listed on Kraken, https://t.co/Kp9DdYUPH6 and others. Iagon also brought the Fireblocks integration and paid out of it's own pocket
Hello @NintendoAmerica , I am confused and frightened. This video has made me unlikely to purchase one of your products ever again.
