每個生態都在喊著要「引進新血」，但真正為新人把門打開的，到底有幾個🤔

學生與新人缺的從來不是熱情，而是缺少那個「能真正通往下一步」的起跑點。這一次，我們不聊高大上的空話，直接把實戰經驗拆開來談：

．青年人才進入 Web3 的真實卡關點在哪裡？
．從內容創作、實習，到長期貢獻的清晰路徑
．為什麼項目方應該釋出更多實習名額？
．如果你是正在看的學生，最快入場的突破口是什麼？

🎙 主講： @CardanoLeo (TW) × @NealSIDAN (HK)

🗣 語言：中文為主

無論你是正在找尋方向的學生，還是希望能為生態留住人才的項目方，歡迎這週一晚上上來跟我們聊聊，一起把這扇門開得更大！

把時間記下來，我們 Space 見👇🏻

🎙 Cardano in Asia · EP 05 Talent × Pipeline

Every ecosystem says it wants new blood. Few open an actual door. Students aren't short on interest; they're short on a first step that leads somewhere.

In this episode, we talk about building that step.

What's on the table:
· Where young talent actually gets stuck
· Content → internship → long-term contribution
· Why projects should open more internship seats
· The easiest way in, if you're a student reading this

Bring in new blood.
Open more internships. Keep the talent.

Great to see builders, community members & enthusiasts coming together to connect, share ideas, and explore what’s next for the ecosystem.

@NealSIDAN from SIDAN Lab shared an overview of Cardano’s upcoming events across different regions, key ecosystem developments, and the new Catalyst Pilot Scheme. Giving aspiring builders more direction to explore and turn new ideas into projects.

We also had:
🔹@CardanoLeo from TW @hizz_io sharing their startup journey & products
🔹@newt6611 from TW @strikeperps sharing their latest direction

Education is where innovation begins.

Today, we kicked off the Experience Summer Learning Program, introducing university students to AI, @Cardano , and @MidnightNtwrk .

Rather than focusing only on the technology itself, students were encouraged to think about real challenges in finance and insurance from smarter claims processing and fraud detection to digital identity, privacy, and customer experience.

It was inspiring to see so many creative discussions and early business ideas emerge.

Huge thanks to @Chubb for supporting this program and helping bridge emerging technologies with real industry challenges.

Now the real challenge begins

It’s crazy how fast this year flew by. This kid took a gap year, joined the tean, and absolutely made the most of it. Thanks for everything you’ve done this past year.

I’m really glad we met in Vegas @RareEvo. We’ve learned from each other, grown together, and kept pushing each other every step of the way.

You’re honestly one of the best interns I’ve ever worked with, and I’m proud of everything you’ve achieved. I know this is just the beginning for you.

All the best with your studies, bro. Keep doing your thing, and I’m sure our paths will cross again soon. ❤️

[🪏Blockjock-James Dont Hate Just Create @blockjock2017]

In light of the latest withdrawals from @Cryptofly777 and @astroboysoup and @bigpey as dreps I ask all those delegated to consider other dreps like myself, @Cerkoryn @mr_cata @sidan_lab we would appreciate any delegation. My drep ID is in the quoted post.

I think I'm gonna draft a CIP asking that we pretty please stop refering to everything in #Cardano tech as "CIP-X addresses", "CIP-Y NFTs", ...

I know they are reference definitions but, at a distance, this is just like legal-speak (shooting article numbers). I really don't think it's that good for our Dev Experience and Community onboarding and relating to our tech. We could do better.

The CIPs themselves could propose an adjective/name for what they are defining, like [this-kind-of] addess, or [that-kind-of] NFTs. In last resort just take the @sidan_lab approach and name things after drinks and cocktails. 😁🍹

🎙 Neon Pulse EP 03

Treasury debates have been everywhere across Cardano lately. The Chinese-speaking community has plenty to say too, across Telegram, X, and group chats. But scattered voices stay scattered. So we're putting two of them in one room.

Are Treasury Proposals Driving Real Impact?
🟢 PRO vs 🔴 CON

No verdict. No vote count. Just the conversation governance needs.

[Project Catalyst @Catalyst_onX]

Hundreds of projects have gone through Catalyst, and more reach their completion milestones each week.

That’s worth celebrating.

Today, we’re shining a light on several projects who have graduated from Catalyst. All fully done, all active and moving Cardano forward.

🔗 Amaru component by @txpipe_tools
Adds a new Rust library to implement peer-to-peer networking compatible with Cardano; can be used not just by Amaru’s node infrastructure but also by any other Rust-based application that requires it.

🌐 cDNSd
@blinklabs_io brings decentralized name resolution and web-infrastructure interoperability to Cardano via trustless Handshake DNS integration.

🥃 Whisky V2 by @sidan_lab
A Rust SDK to lower integration friction and provide faster support for new features added to SIDAN’s open source tooling solutions.

🌎 LATAM Outreach Program
@LatamCardano is accelerating Cardano adoption across Latin America by focusing on incubator programs done in collaboration with universities and regional networks.

Congratulations to all projects, and thank you again for making sure Cardano is an ecosystem where more people can build great ideas.

Throughout 2026, we’re contacting all active projects from funds 11 to 14 so they can acknowledge their intention to complete their milestones. Here are the acknowledgements deadlines for each fund:

✔️Fund 11 - 1 June 2026
✔️Fund 12 - 1 June 2026
✔️Fund 13 - 1 July 2026
✔️Fund 14 - 1 August 2026

Please make sure to reply within the deadlines.

We really can’t wait to continue supporting and showcasing the great work done across the Cardano ecosystem!

[Neal.ada @NealSIDAN]

Market’s been cold lately, but it’s great seeing people still building and supporting the community

Really happy to see all of you today. Great discussions on the new users' onboarding pain points, regional approaches, and what users care about most

Let’s keep pushing Cardano forward together

Bullish on Cardano 🚀
