TapTools

We got this one wrong.

We believed the sale could be a way for the community to support an attempt at bringing TapTools back. But we misread the moment, the sentiment, and how it would be received.

Everyone who participated has been refunded in full.

There’s no point in trying to spin it or force something that clearly didn’t resonate. You make decisions, sometimes you get them wrong, and the only thing you can do is own it, and learn from it.

We still care deeply about TapTools and what we built over the years. That hasn’t changed.

Live, learn, grow.

Onward.

@iamethernal Honestly not sure.

To be totally transparent I was not expecting the hate and animosity.

I have a lot of love and respect for the community and have nothing negative to say about anyone.

Going to go back to the drawing board and go from there.

I think there’s a misunderstanding about what’s happening here, so I want to explain my side.

I’m not the original founder of TapTools.

I joined later as a social media intern, and for years I worked unpaid because I genuinely believe in TapTools and cared about the Cardano ecosystem.

I was the one answering your DMs.
I was doing support.
I was shouting out other projects and trying to support the ecosystem.
I was the one pushing TapTools and Cardano every single day on socials.

I went far beyond what was ever expected of me as an intern because I believed in the mission.

Eventually, the founders left. The developer who built TapTools from the ground up left. TapTools went offline.

And when that happened, thousands of people reached out asking what they could do to help, how they could support us, and whether there was any way to turn TapTools back on.

Now I’m the one trying to turn the ship around.

I’m not a developer, and I don’t have the capital to rebuild something like TapTools alone.

And when I say there are no promises attached, that’s intentional.

I could easily promise utility, rewards, access, or whatever else people want to hear if the goal was simply to sell more.

I won’t.

Crypto has enough people making promises they can’t or won’t fulfill. I’m not going to promise something I can’t guarantee.

What I can promise is that I’m going to give this everything I have and try to turn this ship around.

Some endings aren’t really endings.

Sometimes, they show you who was still standing beside you.

Before anything else, thank you.

When TapTools went offline, thousands of you reached out. Many asked how to help, how to support, and what came next.

This is Phase One. 🛠️

After four years of building for Cardano, today we have difficult news to share.

Hi Yuta, thank you for taking the time to carefully review all 69 proposals and share your reasoning publicly.

We understand and respect the concerns around governance structure, accountability, and participation.

From our perspective, the ecosystem’s builder and tooling layer has reached a scale where more coordination and long-term support is needed, especially for infrastructure and technical contributors working across Cardano.

These discussions are important, and we appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
