WMTx holders, EarthNode Operators, AirNode Operators, Network Builders, Stakers, Affiliates, Subscribers, Partners, Resellers, Installers, Hosts, let me be clear.

You are not just appreciated.

Every single one of you is part of the master piece we are building together. Each role matters and each role moves us forward.

When it everything clicks, we all win big time.

That's what we're doing, together.

🚨 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗠𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽

Big theme: Connectivity is becoming one of the most important infrastructure layers of the AI economy.

As AI scales, devices multiply and data demand explodes, the team believes existing telecom infrastructure alone won't be enough. @WorldMobileTeam Stratospheric is being built to add a new layer between towers and satellites.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀:
- Richard Deacon (CEO) @CEOWMS, Kevin Bean (CTO) @WMSCTO, Gregory Gottlieb (Aerial platform technology specialist for World Mobile) @WMGregoryG formally introduced to the community
- Team brings decades of aerospace, defense, air traffic management and unmanned systems experience
- Development of the platform has been underway for roughly a decade
- Focus remains on delivering direct-to-device connectivity from the stratosphere

𝗔𝗜 + 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆:
- AI was described as the next major driver of network demand
- Future AI systems require constant connectivity, bandwidth, and low latency
- The team believes connectivity is becoming just as important as compute
- Current telecom infrastructure was described as unprepared for the scale of future demand

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰?
- Designed to complement towers, fiber, AirNodes and satellites rather than replace them
- Targets areas where traditional infrastructure becomes too expensive or difficult to deploy
- Can provide coverage across rural regions, remote communities, transport corridors and disaster-prone areas
- Positioned as a new infrastructure layer that fills gaps between terrestrial and satellite networks

𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀:
- Each aircraft is designed to cover approximately 15,000 km²
- Equivalent geographic coverage of roughly 450 terrestrial towers
- Team claims connectivity costs can be reduced by up to 90% versus traditional approaches
- Multiple examples were shared where operators could potentially save billions in infrastructure deployment costs

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗗𝟮𝗗):
- No hardware modifications required on the handset
- Phones connect directly to the airborne network layer
- Designed for high bandwidth use cases, not just emergency messaging
- Goal is to support AI, IoT, agriculture, logistics, automation and future connected devices at scale

𝗟𝗘𝗢 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰:
- Team acknowledged LEO providers helped validate the D2D market
- View shared that satellites are excellent for global reach but face bandwidth and physics limitations
- Stratospheric platforms aim to provide significantly higher throughput and lower latency in regional deployments
- Described as a complementary layer rather than a direct replacement

𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗮:
- Considered one of the core technical moats of the platform
- 3m x 3m active electronically scanned array
- Capable of generating 400+ steerable beams
- Beams can dynamically adjust power, shape and coverage based on demand
- AI is being explored to optimize coverage in real time

𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁:
- Aircraft designed around liquid hydrogen propulsion
- Enables significantly longer endurance than solar-only alternatives
- Operates day and night rather than relying on constant sunlight
- Team views hydrogen as a key enabler for commercial viability

𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆:
- Growing demand from governments and regulators highlighted
- Architecture allows traffic to remain within national boundaries
- Presented as a major advantage over systems that route data through external infrastructure
- Increasingly becoming a key topic in discussions with potential customers and partners

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀:
- Previous demonstrations successfully achieved 4G and 5G direct-to-device connectivity from the stratosphere
- Testing confirmed strong signal performance both outdoors and indoors
- Technology has already moved through lab and tower-based validation phases
- Focus now shifts toward full operational demonstrations

𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽:
- Upcoming Islander aircraft trials are the next major milestone
- Goal is to demonstrate a complete telecom service operating from an aircraft
- Team emphasized that most core technical risks have already been addressed
- Current focus is integrating all components into a commercial service platform

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- Stratospheric is intended to work alongside AirNodes, EarthNodes, World Mobile Chain and the broader sharing economy model
- Described as a critical piece of the long-term mission to connect underserved populations
- Each platform is designed to extend coverage while maintaining privacy, sovereignty and affordability
- Team repeatedly emphasized this is infrastructure built for the next generation of connectivity

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
- This AMA was less about a product launch and more about introducing the team, technology and vision behind World Mobile Stratospheric
- The core message: AI may be driving demand, but connectivity remains the foundation
- World Mobile believes the stratosphere is the next major layer in global telecom infrastructure

I agree with @F_Gregaard - Let’s put Cardano where it belongs!
Cardano is better together, and I would be happy to join you and the community in Singapore for the 2026 Cardano Summit and Token 2049
If you have not voted yet, I encourage you to vote yes today for the revised Cardano Summit proposal
See you all in October in Singapore!

We’re just 0.5% away from this Treasury governance proposal passing. Cardano needs more builders — and this proposal tackles the blockers devs keep naming: fragmented tooling, scattered docs, weak onboarding and a steep learning curve. #Cardano

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

CARDANO TARGETS 60X THROUGHPUT BOOST WITH LEIOS 😱😱😱

Ouroboros Leios has seen 160+ updates this week, with the codebase now exceeding 698,000 lines of code.

@IOGroup Global is targeting a June testnet, aiming for up to 60x throughput gains, with early prototypes already achieving around 20x improvement

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

I've begun a comprehensive governance review of over 11,000 DAOs and a decade of literature in and out of our space to study executive function, roadmap, and strategy setting. The goal will be to propose some ideas to add new features to Cardano's governance via the constitution and new technology that will resolve much of the conflict we are facing.

I'm considering if it is prudent at this point to become a Drep and to host a new mini-convention to get it done in time for the 2027 process. More on this later. #CardanoUnityAndClarity

BIG NEWS 📰

I officially began my journey of using @WorldMobileTeam as my cellular provider 📱📶

Here’s why:
🟨 Traditional telecom giants have a long track record of selling user data, with repeated lawsuits tied to unethical practices and non-consensual data monetization

🟨 World Mobile operates with blockchain infrastructure under the hood, bringing transparency and a system that actually works (and is user-centric)

🟨 For the first time ever, I’m using a phone plan where I’m aligned with the network and can earn through participation

In a world driven by maximum extraction, it’s refreshing to see an alternative that challenges the status quo.

World Mobile isn’t just a carrier, it’s a project with a community built around decentralization and shared upside.

This video walks through my full journey and a deep dive into the Unlimited+ plan 💛

Part 2 coming soon, where I’ll break down the user dashboard and staking $WMTx 🥩
