After 1,306+ days of continuous uptime of our ADA/USD price feed across 3 iterations, we've decided to pause our services while we navigating our next chapter.

Thank you to @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io @IOGroup @Catalyst_onX and @IOHK_Charles for giving us the opportunity to build for 5 years on this amazing chain. Thank you to all our community members, ecosystem partners, customers, holders, and supporters.

The Blockfrost Platform 1.0.0 is live 🥳

Cardano stake pools can now run it alongside their block-producing node, serving Blockfrost API traffic and earning ADA for what they handle.

Here's what's new 👇

My aim as a DRep has always been clear in its description:

“Mainly to be a direct voter. Making it public as some have expressed a desire to delegate their voting power.”

Which is why I never advertised it.

But for a while now, I've felt that I can no longer think and vote objectively about proposals as I have too many @nftcdn_io customers and other projects connected in some way to some proposals, which clouds my judgment, consciously or not.

And I don't want my biases to affect delegated votes.

I have therefore decided to retire as a DRep and focus on my SPO and technical roles.

If you are part of the few delegated to me, please redelegate to someone who you believe will be able to evaluate the proposals as objectively as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@phil_uplc @KylixAfonso I’ve been into DeFi for a long time. Even submitted a DeFi-Kernel-like proposal 3 years ago with a full analysis of the state of DeFi in other ecosystem. https://t.co/D2Cg7GibwB

Unfortunately, nobody wanted it.

🧵Why aren't we pricing #crypto in gold yet? 🤔

It tells a very different story. One that may be hard for people to accept... 👇

@WatcherGuru Did the model detect Binance own frauds?

@Pirat_Nation So long, and thanks for all the fish.

@HolgerCardano24 I wasn't referring specifically to IO, but I think annual budgets instead of project/milestone budgets exacerbate the tendency to “ask for more money to finish what we've already been paid to do.”

[竜 SM₳UG @SmaugPool]

Is there a specific reason why all the proposals are for 12 months? Can't we have some projects committing from 2 to 5 years without coming back every year?

It looks like elections where half the term is spent preparing for the next one.

[竜 SM₳UG @SmaugPool]

@ensurablesys Well, the strategy has not worked well.

[竜 SM₳UG @SmaugPool]

@MladenLm Well, imagine if we founded projects at ADA=$1 or even $3.

5 years would have cost less than one year now.

And projects duration should be based on complexity and milestones. Only maintenance projects or consulting works per period in the industry.

Self-driving cars will only be considered a true reality when driver’s licenses are no longer required to operate them.

And yes, self-driving taxis are the first step.

Cardano is at a critical inflexion point. Turbulences ahead. Fasten your seat belt!

[竜 SM₳UG @SmaugPool]

Hmm, c'est censé être l'inverse.

Les citoyens et les entreprises investissent dans l'État et attendent un retour sur investissement (infrastructure, sécurité, éducation, santé, etc.). Ce n'est pas l'État qui a crée les citoyens, ce sont les citoyens qui ont crée l'État.

L'État n'a pas à bénificier d'un retour sur investissement, il a juste besoin d'être à l'équilibre.
