Cardano sees nearly 50% activity surge, as Aptos traction increases
Both the @Aptos and @Cardano blockchains have experienced a significant jump in the past 24 hours. This includes both price and blockchain activity.
Aptos recorded an 11.2% daily jump in transaction volume, processing 11.1M txns within a single 24-hour period.
Meanwhile, Cardano processed 24K transactions yesterday, its highest daily throughput in the past 7 days.
The Cardano Java ecosystem keeps growing.
In this Developers Office Hour, Satya Ranjan (@satran004) walks through the latest Java tools: Cardano Client Lib for script-based transactions, TX Plan, Flow and Stream for transaction management, the Yaci indexer, and Yano, a Java data node with Blockfrost-compatible APIs.

‼️@Cardano is set to shock the entire market.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) recently dropped a massive reality check on what it will actually take to onboard the next billion people into Web3:
"If we want to bring $10 trillion in and billions of people in, we need a new narrative for cryptocurrencies. We need the narrative that it's with you in life wherever you take it, and it makes life simpler, safer, more private, and easier for everybody."
This profound shift in perspective is exactly why we proudly support Cardano.
When it comes to building a platform truly capable of safely onboarding millions of new everyday users, Cardano is in a league of its own. It wasn't built for short-term hype; it was engineered from day one with peer-reviewed security, flawless uptime, and true decentralization to handle real-world demands.
From digital identity to private, secure micro-transactions, Cardano is designing the exact infrastructure needed to make Web3 invisible, intuitive, and incredibly safe for the average person.
We firmly believe in this vision and the strength of the cardano:native ecosystem. Despite the daily noise of the market, the underlying technology has never been stronger. The foundation is rock-solid, the community is unmatched, and we are confident that the future for Cardano is absolutely brilliant. The real adoption phase is just getting started, and Cardano is perfectly positioned to lead the way.
Cardano $ADA has multiple important catalysts ahead.
But two stand out to me: one technological, one focused on usage.
• Ouroboros Leios: Cardano's upcoming scaling upgrade designed to dramatically increase network throughput, targeting 1,000+ TPS while maintaining security and decentralization.
• Cardano PRIME: AlphaGrowth's 12-month, community-overseen program backed by ₳120M from the treasury to improve DeFi readiness, activate incentives, and grow liquidity across to Cardano.
Both could be major steps forward for Cardano.
Leios by improving its scalability and the other by bringing more activity and liquidity to the ecosystem.
Good times ahead for Cardano.
🛡 Before You Migrate: What to Prepare
The wallet migration tool will be released once the updated SecondFi app has been approved by Apple’s App Store and Google Play. In the meantime, you can take the following steps so that you are ready when the tool becomes available.
You will need a destination wallet. Create a new, Cardano-compatible wallet with a reputable provider of your choice and have its receiving address ready. The wallet must be one that you control. Do not use an exchange deposit address, as exchange addresses may, among other potential issues, lead to delays, lack of access or permanent loss of assets.
For additional security, consider using a hardware wallet, which keeps your private keys offline. Setting up your destination wallet now is the most useful step you can take before launch.
The migration tool will move ADA, Cardano native tokens, and Cardano NFTs only. Other assets will not be migrated and you must transfer them separately to a wallet that you control and that supports the relevant network and asset.
If your SecondFi wallet is connected to a hardware wallet, you will not use the in-app migration process. Instead, connect the hardware device to another compatible Cardano wallet provider and follow the provider’s official instructions.
Never enter or disclose your recovery phrase unless you are following verified recovery instructions from the hardware-wallet manufacturer. SecondFi will never ask for your recovery phrase, private key, password, or verification code.
Wallets must be migrated one at a time. If you have more than one wallet, repeat the process for each wallet. The app will identify wallets that still hold a balance.
The migration tool will be included in an updated version of the existing SecondFi app. There is no separate migration app and no migration website. When the tool becomes available, update the SecondFi app directly through Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
We will announce here when the updated app is available. Be cautious of unsolicited messages, links, websites, or applications claiming to provide access to the migration tool.
Before confirming any migration, carefully verify the destination-wallet address. Blockchain transactions are irreversible.
🛡 The Wallet Migration Tool is Now Live.
The wallet migration tool is available in the SecondFi app.
This tool is for users who still hold Cardano assets in SecondFi. It moves what you currently hold out to your newly created Cardano wallet destination address. We encourage everyone with a remaining Cardano balance to migrate, whether or not you were affected by the incident, because SecondFi is winding down.
If your wallet was emptied in the incident, the tool you are waiting for is the asset recovery tool, and we expect it to be available in September. Migrating does not affect your claim.
About the migration tool:
- It moves your entire Cardano balance (including all ADA, native tokens, and NFTs) from your current wallet to the destination address of a newly created Cardano wallet from a provider of your choice. The tool has been audited by @Bitdefender.
Before you start:
- Create a new Cardano wallet with a provider of your choice and have the destination address ready. We recommend using a hardware wallet.
How it works:
- The tool handles the technical steps automatically.
- If your ADA is currently staked, the tool will unstake it so the full amount can be included in the transfer.
- This also means your DRep delegation will no longer be active, so you will need to delegate to a DRep again from your new wallet to continue participating in Cardano governance.
- You will need to migrate one wallet at a time.
Important reminders:
- Blockchain transfers cannot be reversed once signed and submitted.
- Check your destination address carefully. Only send to a Cardano wallet you control, never to an exchange deposit address.
- The migration tool moves Cardano assets only. Non-Cardano assets will need to be moved separately.
- Please do not delete your original wallet from SecondFi or the application itself, as it may be needed for the asset recovery process.

🛡 Security Notice: Wallet Migration
Migrating your Cardano wallet does not require topping it up or funding it with ADA. There is no scenario where this process needs you to add funds first.
If your wallet balance is not sufficient for network fees, do not add funds to it. Simply wait for the next version of the wallet migration which will support these wallets.
Migration takes place within an updated version of the official SecondFi application you already have installed. There is no separate migration application, no standalone migration website, and no new application to install.

Cardano Foundation spent three days training IT educators at a Brazilian technology institute
The @Cardano_CF team worked with educators and R&D researchers at SENAI CIMATEC in Salvador on development practices and use cases, including how blockchain could support work in automotive and agritech. The Foundation said every new builder starts with someone who showed them how.
No formal partnership, curriculum placement or follow-up program was announced. SENAI CIMATEC is part of Brazil's national industrial training network. cardano:native
Charles Hoskinson: "Before the end of the year, Midnight City is gonna turn on agentic trading."
"You'll be able to have wallets for your agents & trade on any platform you want."
And because it's private, agents can even trade strategies without seeing the underlying strategy.
