If #Cardano is really dead,
why does someone show up almost every day to explain that it’s dead?
Think about that for a moment.
People don’t run campaigns against irrelevant things.
They don’t write threads.
They don’t make videos.
They don’t spend years talking about them.
If something truly no longer matters,
the market simply forgets it.
REPOST but to Cardano:
Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with
@IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement);
@emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision.
EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself
@phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon
at Intersect. The community will and must be involved.
2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and
@IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met.
@Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io
maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects.
3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core
is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and
@FireblocksHQ.
4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk@F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces.
@emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts.
There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider.
Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.
Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
@the_c0nnector They think new leaders are on the streets and new engineering teams and experts can just start the project anytime and build in no time ! 🤣 like somehow all these will manifest from thin air .
Adding $ADA here, will add more if it dips another 10-15%. To increase the liquidity of our $ADA / $IAG pool
$IAG enterprise revenue surplus is looking good

@CardanoRami@adamKDean@strikeperps@BendingData Rami, can we have a campaign to educate people on how to use these platforms? I simply have no fking clue, I could put some of my Snek to work . If we all stop being passive and use the funds properly then all the better, no?
Very nice to see some real data.
I'll add a few points in case it's helpful.
The SLP has historically been in the green for liquidity providers since inception, however even if it were to break even - all added liquidity is a huge net positive for Cardano's growth. I trade on Strike very often and have voiced my feedback to the team that there is simply not enough liquidity on the platform for larger trades. Instead of doing 100 tx's a week which I do now, I would be doing 500 a week just myself personally, if there were more liquidity. At current liquidity levels, if I want to go long on $BTC or $ADA, the slippage is good for small trades but it's simply too high for larger trades. So only the small trades I want to do, happen on Strike. We are directly sending traders to competing platforms on other chains due to low liquidity. I am confident that with more liquidity regardless of the amount of profit that liquidity generates, would result in many more tx's settling on Cardano which results in more fees for the treasury - and in the end that should be our goal as an ecosystem.
The vault currently has roughly $1 million USD in liquidity. $5 million would be amazing as I'm certain the the increase in Tx activity would be enormous. But even doubling from $1 million to $2 million would be a huge step in the right direction as each bit helps reduce slippage - which encourages more trading.
Cheers 🫡
@F_Gregaard Fred, time to get yourself together man and start to do better, people are not happy! I belive you can do this right! Listen to the community and implement!
@ClubFak I think leadership built something good, secure and stable. Marketing and Defi prioritizing on the other hand... BUT this doesn't mean we can't change course! Less hate, more ++
@AlmaMater07@CryptoGnojek@amato_fam You make some points, and I love and think Snek team are awesome, but now you really are tripping hard. If anyone knows best Cardano and how it works is @IOHK_Charles and the engineering team, so stop this whole hate and let's focus on positives!
@HolgerCardano24@bajuzki Holger, respect you man! But let us focus on building and less hate . You have your points, but right now I am sick of all this shit on my feed for the past months .
