Actually insane. Not voting on a few proposals is one thing but to not vote on so many is crazy. Tons of Dreps should just retire at this point tbh.

The hard fork initiation action was ratified at the epoch boundary on July 13, 2026 at 21:45 UTC.

Following ratification, enactment will now take place on July 18, 2026 at 21:45 UTC. This is a final call to action for anyone yet to update their infrastructure to a hard fork compatible version to do so as soon as possible.

AI on Cardano Update

Last week we had our first ever "AI on Cardano" call for everyone interested in this topic.

The goal of this forum is to

- Establish a platform to talk about AI developments, discuss standards, form working groups and present work

- Establish Cardano as the Nr. 1 Blockchain when it comes to AI development

- Foster more collaboration

In the first call we mostly went over whats currently happening on other chains, what this forum should be used for and a brief introduction.

@masatoalexander I'm serious and sincere. I think I'm missing something. Indexers seem to be the obvious answer here. Pretty sure Cardano has a bunch of them. Some easier to extend than others. Whats missing?

3/3
Trying to ratify the affected proposals before the HF is an option. Sorting them out after the HF applies is also.

Sure it will be cumbersome post HF but we need to keep in mind that WE, DReps, SPOs, governance action authors and everybody holding ADA now make the calls!

> Treat the submission date as part of the proposal itself, not as an administrative detail added at the end.

True. We are learning a lot of things with this hard fork. But this is not a blocker (1/3)

This is a critical moment for all the proposers of the affected actions, no question. What needs to be done is also in their hands and Cardano as a Community can help.

SPEC voted Yes for the van Rossem Hard Fork. We have passed the 51% Mark for now. Lets do this!

> we have secured approximately 129 million ADA as part of our broader containment and asset protection response.

Can somebody knowledgeable with secondfi's wallet architecture explain to me how a Blockchain Wallet author can do that? Are they just bruteforcing the exploit?

🧵1/3 Calling all single pool SPOs. @realfi_co is preparing its launch in Cardano and we are exploring a Single Pool Accelerator with selected single pool operators.

This may be the help you’ve been looking for. For anyone new to it, RealFi connects on-chain capital to real-world markets through a stablecoin designed to be backed by US Treasuries, money market funds, and private credit.

If you’re a single pool operator with roughly 1M to 12M ADA delegated, please register an expression of interest via the form I’ll link in the thread below. This is research, not an offer.

If you think single pool SPOs should help shape the RealFi launch in Cardano, please RT and share.

@txpipe_tools > the block we want: a (slot, header hash) point

How come it always is a slot+hash combination in most cardano libs I see. Isn't the hash enough?

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

@FurkanCCTV @sunnydecree Wir haben super viele deutsche Cardano Startups, darüber habt ihr noch nie geschrieben. Statt dessen wenn's mal Drama gibt direkt aus den Löchern kriechen. Unglaublich echt.

Great news!

@MicheleHarmonic Sure, UTXOs don't lock each other out but in the context of a validator I can imagine the case where you would want existing UTXOs to be interacted with in a specific order. What's wrong with business or legal reasons being encoded in a smart contract? Isn't that what they exist?
