This is the kind of Hydra story I like seeing — more teams building on L2, using the tooling in production, and then clearly showing why maintaining that tooling matters.
Appreciate you breaking down how Scalus actually enables Gummiworm. Illustration of a grounded progress the ecosystem needs more of.
Scalus is a platform for building smart contracts + decentralized applications (dApps) on the Cardano blockchain.
Let's you write both on-chain smart contracts (validators) and off-chain logic in Scala 3, then compiles it to Untyped Plutus Core

When @Scalus3 announced their 2026 treasury proposal, I quote-reposted it with my strong endorsement.
In this thread, I'll give you more details about how exactly Scalus is helping us deliver our ambitious vision in the Gummiworm project and its applications. 🧵
The more you look at BIFROST, the more everything makes sense 😤
→ It uses Cardano SPOs
→ It gives dApps free integration and a new $BTC asset to build with
→ It opens a path for Bitcoin liquidity to move into Cardano DeFi
Built by FluidTokens and @Lantr_io, but designed for Cardano itself.
Our Evolution SDK library integrates Scalus evaluator and cost-calculation components, making them part of tx building and script cost estimation for everyone using it.
We’re also integrating an in-memory L1 node emulator to make tx and scenario testing much more efficient 🦾
Together we are becoming a real powerhouse!
Check out the Scalus proposal, focused on maintenance and readiness for the next hard fork
Link to the proposal is in the first comment
Join us tomorrow for some of the best banter and then we are joined by guests from @FluidTokens & @lantr_io to talk about the Bifrost Bitcoin bridge and @BeatriceAnihiri & @stakenuts to talk about @blockfrost_io's proposal to turn non-profit 🔥

Join us tomorrow, together with the @lantr_io team to talk about why a Bitcoin <> Cardano bridge should be a Cardano public good.
We’ll be joining the @coc_space at 1.30 PM UTC on Thursday 9th of July.
Tell your dRep to be there and bring some questions 💙

Great guests lined up for tomorrow! We'll learn more about the Bifrost Bitcoin bridge proposal from @FluidTokens & @lantr_io.
Followed up by @BeatriceAnihiri of @blockfrost_io talking about their latest proposal to turn non-profit.

MeshJS ships with Scalus under the hood: its script evaluator, cost calculation, and in-memory Cardano node emulator run inside the SDK, so builders get an effective local testing environment to validate transactions and scenarios without extra infrastructure.
The Dijkstra hard fork changes Plutus evaluation (V4, new builtins, nested txs), and those components have to be updated or every downstream tool feels it. The revised Scalus proposal funds exactly that maintenance. 👇
@ecatxvc@0xMetamatt@Indigo_protocol Bifrost extends dApps’ reach directly to the Bitcoin community.
You could build an interface for Bitcoin users (and have Bifrost behind it), attract BTC liquidity, sponsor bridge fees, and more.
Are there any Cardano digital artists that want to help with a paid project with a tight turnaround?
Looking to have 4-8 small illustrations done by next week.
Will share more details to those who reach out with some portfolio pieces. DM me or email at [email protected]
gm, today we’re joining @coc_space to talk about Scalus: what we’ve achieved, the traction so far, and what’s next
would be great to hear your thoughts
