I believe Cardano will do extremely well, but we need to focus more on the people who make Cardano what it is.
Right now, it is often easier for a significant contributor to leave than it is for them to stay. That needs to change.
In my own experience, I would love to contribute more. I have been offered opportunities on several occasions, but the financial commitment, governance responsibilities and need to protect my freedom of speech have made those opportunities difficult to consider.
Speaking openly about difficult issues is necessary, but it can become harder when the people being challenged also influence funding, opportunities and access across the ecosystem. That creates incentives which can discourage independence.
Cardano is built through core development, but it is also built by developers, stake pool operators, educators, governance participants, researchers and community contributors who consistently give their time and expertise.
We need to spend more time recognising those contributions, retaining talent and creating sustainable reasons for people to stay.
I would like to see a serious discussion around how we achieve this.
Cardano should be a place where talent is valued, independence is protected and meaningful contribution is recognised.
JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA's Ouroboros Leios saw 94 updates in the past week. Leios will uplift the Layer-1 from 10 TPS to 500 TPS in the first release, a 50x improvement, with a public testnet set for the end of Q2. IOG aims to release Leios in the Dijkstra hard fork this year.
Milestone moment: NIGHT is now live. 🕛
With today’s launch of NIGHT as a Cardano Native Asset (CNA), we’re officially kicking off the countdown to redemptions for the more than 4.5B tokens claimed during the Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases.
This marks the first step in bringing NIGHT to the community as we continue progressing toward a fully decentralized Midnight mainnet.
Redemption windows will open in phases (“thaws”). The redemption portal will launch shortly beforehand to allow people to preview their allocations and thawing schedules ahead of time.

Now, Cardano can leverage a new kind of solution that most smart contract chains including Ethereum simply can’t implement.

It’s more efficient, simpler, and incredibly fast.
Cardano is going to be the fastest!

Thank you to all the builders involved.
