IO Research: A proposal worth fighting for

From my earliest days in the ecosystem, I was captivated by the idea of paper-based research, a market differentiator that brought seriousness and professionalism to the industry and to Cardano. I was completely fascinated by concepts like liquid democracy. These are contributions to the history of humanity that will be studied for many, many years to come.

That is part of building a legacy. That is what we set out to do, and what I signed up for. Senior government executives and scholars praised the academic work built upon our foundations, work that made our structure and technology so solid and resilient.
These are researchers and PhDs, unmatched and immensely valuable talent that we cannot afford to let go.

And I agree with @IOHK_Charles that this research will be essential to meet the technological challenges ahead, to remain relevant and resilient. To give just one small example, consider the eventual arrival of quantum computing, or the question of scalability.

When the content of these papers is mentioned in universities, it conveys a feasibility and credibility that is beyond question among the most distinguished scholars.

The ink, the words, and the outcomes of those papers are where the engineering and the soundness are later built. Both their upkeep and our participation in them are part of our DNA.

It can often be difficult to process the sheer volume of information presented to us, but I invite you to read some of the content here and to be as amazed as I once was.

Sincerely and on a deeply personal level, without any benefit whatsoever to myself or those around me, I invite you to support the governance initiatives and proposals related to Cardano Vision 2026: Human-Centred, Scalable, Post-Quantum Secure, IO Research

NEWS

CARDANO AND MIDNIGHT ACHIEVE FIRST NATIVE TRANSFER😱😱😱

The first native asset transfer between Cardano and Midnight is now officially live on testnets.

The first transferable asset is $USDM, marking a major milestone for interoperability between the two ecosystems.

The integration was developed by @VIA_Labs .

Midnight is ready to enable privacy even in a post-quantum world 👇

@RickMcCracken @adamKDean @yeaookk @dannyribar The problem with lending is you start introducing risk into the process.

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

@RickMcCracken @adamKDean @yeaookk @dannyribar Cheers Rick. The point would be using funds as an ecosystem growth engine, or whatever initiatives the community/structure sees an ROI in pursuing. Hopefully the tax on a few pools would be negligible or even offset via increased activity on the long arc

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

@adamKDean @yeaookk @dannyribar @RickMcCracken Yes reserves* sorry. The model would need consultancy around what is funded and how etc, but it has potential.

I believe @RickMcCracken had also discussed something similar in CIP workshops and may be able to chime in and share his thoughts on it under the current landscape

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

I spoke to @dannyribar and @RickMcCracken about a similar model back in March 2024.

Essentially I suggested setting up a DeFi accelerator program run via dedicated and saturated pools at 100% margin using Treasury funds.

This type of funding could facilitate many different ventures, and now that Voltaire is out, it could be good timing to float this again.

@RickMcCracken Nice! But why are you eating salad? The cow already converted the salad into steak for you

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Leios is getting closer.

The first public SPO testnet remains on track for June 2026, and progress this week was significant:
• Treasury funding approved by the Cardano community with 88% support
• CIP-0164 update reduced Leios block certificates from ~8 kB to ~200 bytes — around 40× smaller
• The reference implementation was successfully rebased onto the upcoming Dijkstra era
• Piranha, a new adversarial testing tool, is now live for protocol attack simulation

A lot of deep engineering work is coming together behind the scenes and the first public testnet is getting closer!

Midnight will help enable rational privacy for every chain.

@Cardano_CF @timebrasil We love to see it 💪

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

Big news: we've partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (@timebrasil) to transform Olympic sport with public blockchain, IoT, and AI.

The three-year roadmap aims to position COB as the global benchmark in sports innovation.

The best part? It's all powered by Cardano. ⚡️

The best user experience is the one users never have to think about.

Midnight’s approach to tokenomics is designed around a simple idea: make powerful systems easier to use without asking users to become crypto experts.

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

@rmac_motorsport @MidnightNtwrk Quite the opposite, ADA is just starting to stretch its legs

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

Your friendly reminder that the upcoming @MidnightNtwrk hardfork is when partners like Monument bank will start building the next generation of financial services on mainnet🔥

$NIGHT

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

This is one of the largest deals we've ever done and could bring hundreds of millions to billions of TVL to the Midnight ecosystem. I'm extremely proud of @F_ZK_Now and his team at the @midnightfdn for the hard work they put into the negotiations with Monument.

Midnight is the home of Web 2.5 ventures.

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

@Cointelegraph He's talking about blowing up his revenue and banking monopoly

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]

Imagine a world without privacy. Would you want to live there?

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

@CardanoBiceps @IOHK_Charles @IOGroup @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn That it is my friend. The real fun starts soon

[Plutus @PlutusPool]

The upcoming hardfork will mark the end of the accumulation zone of a lifetime for $NIGHT

Midnight's summer of love is about to commence 🚀
