🛠 While progress on the Cardano Lightning roadmap has been slower than planned, our commitment hasn’t wavered. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and 2025 is the year to pick up the pace.

🚀 While Cardano Lightning didn’t make it this time, we’re far from done. We’ll be back! 🤖
⚡️ Meanwhile, our work on the protocol continues, with more updates in January⚡️
🎄 And of course, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄
🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that one of our proposals was funded in #ProjectCatalyst! A huge thank you to the Cardano community for their support. 🙏
📢 More news coming in January—stay tuned!
Cardano Node takes ~90 seconds to load its ledger state of ~2.5 GB at startup. That’s >100x slower than the read throughput of modern SSDs. DT takes 7.
@IOHK_Charles, that’s how Cardano improves the user experience, right? Ensures that everyone has the time for a cup of coffee!
⏰ Less than 24 hours left to vote in #ProjectCatalyst!
🌟 The Cardano Foundation has picked and supports our Marlowe Oracle Protocol proposal.

🎙️ We’re going live on 𝕏 tomorrow!
Instead of our regular Discord developer meeting, we’re opening up the discussion in a Twitter Space:

Join us to chat about Marlowe 2025 - our F13 proposals, and what’s next for the ecosystem.
A two for one!! This post introduces our Marlowe proposal for which we'll be working with @thompson_si and @TomRybarczyk and the @marlowe_io team on... but it's the video of our voting power proposal ;)
Here's the video for Marlowe: https://t.co/Tg5bJ2I1dT
@_KtorZ_ DOOM + TPS stats don’t facilitate constructive discussion, IMHO.
Should we implement Pong through a Lightning channel to enter the conversation? I don't think so.
@gaffar_olamide From lightning? Quite far still I believe. There's no Hydra routing and it's not an easy problem. Although few teams were looking into it for some time already.
Yet, I don't see payment as a plausible use case for Hydra at this point. Happy to be proven wrong.
