🚨 Attention Cardano 🚨
We’ll be submitting our treasury proposal onchain within the next 24 hours.
This gives the Cardano treasury sustainable yield while providing one of the ecosystem’s leading protocols with the necessary liquidity to compete on a global stage.
Why this matters:
- Perpetual futures account for roughly 75% of on-chain trading activity across crypto.
- We’ve done over $1 billion in trading volume and paid out more than $3M to liquidity providers
- We believe we’ve demonstrated strong product market fit and a proven ability to generate activity
Additional liquidity would give us:
- deeper markets
- better executing and tighter spreads
- greater capacity for users
- the ability for a Cardano product to compete more effectively in one of the industry’s largest sectors
We believe growing treasury capital while supporting our largest protocols should be a key priority as Cardano focuses on growth and long-term sustainability.

Privacy works best with UTXOs.
Intents work best with UTXOs.
Formal verification works best with UTXOs.
There has quite literally never been a better time to be a UTXO chain
Crypto's next phase will not be won by isolated ecosystems.
The largest interoperability deployment in Cardano's history is coming. Earlier this year, we announced that all of crypto would be connected to Cardano via LayerZero, creating a path for over 800 tokens to natively expand into the Cardano ecosystem.
The complex technical work will roll out in phases, from testnet and mainnet endpoints, to Stargate, to developer tooling that makes it easy for anyone to deploy, to product integrations across the entire LayerZero stack. By the end of this year, any asset will be able to deploy on Cardano.
While this work is in flight, we'll be teaming up with the Cardano teams to share more behind the scenes: a detailed roadmap, a deep dive on our partnership, and co-hosted digital and IRL events for the community.
We're excited for what this work means for both LayerZero and Cardano, and can't wait to share more in the coming weeks.
A connected Cardano. Done right.

GEMMA 4 + HERMES TURNS YOUR LAPTOP INTO A FREE AGENT OS
And the part people miss is this: it still works when your Wi-Fi disappears.
The Setup:
→ Hermes is the body that runs the agent OS
→ Gemma 4 is the free local brain you plug into it
→ The dashboard lets you manage models, skills, sessions, logs, and scheduled jobs from one screen
The Smart Workflow:
✓ Use a big model as your main brain
✓ Use Gemma 4 as the fast helper brain
✓ Let the helper brain handle small jobs while the big model does harder thinking
What It Can Run:
→ 7 a.m. morning briefs
→ Inbox triage for leads
→ Weekly Obsidian note reviews
→ Research for content ideas
→ Mini apps, tools, games, animations, and landing pages
The Big Advantage:
✓ Free to run locally
✓ Works offline
✓ Keeps your files on your own machine
✓ Can run all day without burning through tokens
Normal chat gives you words.
Hermes + Gemma 4 inside an agent OS gives you finished work.
Using Yoroi Wallet?
Here’s what’s changing:
Yoroi Wallet is evolving into SecondFi, a self-custodial neofinance platform that expands beyond being just a traditional crypto wallet.
If you're already using Yoroi, all you need to do is update your app. There's no need to migrate your funds, and your wallets, stake pool delegations, and DRep delegations remain unchanged.
One of the biggest additions is multichain support. SecondFi gives you access to 10,000+ assets across:
🔹 Cardano 🔹 Bitcoin 🔹 Ethereum 🔹 BNB Chain 🔹 Solana 🔹 Base 🔹 Avalanche 🔹 Tron
...with more networks planned in the future.
Beyond simply storing your assets, you'll be able to spend, send, stake, and swap from within the platform while remaining self-custodial.
SecondFi is rolling out in phases, with additional features planned over time, including:
🔹 More blockchain networks 🔹 Stablecoin yield opportunities 🔹 RWA exposure 🔹 Additional financial tools and utility
Another major addition is the SecondFi Card.
Users in supported countries can apply for a self-custodial crypto card, something many Cardano users have been asking for since the original Cardano Card.
The card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted and currently has no minimum funding requirement.
If you're using Yoroi, make sure to update your app through the App Store or Google Play.
And as always: keep your seed phrase safe.
Happy exploring, and welcome to SecondFi.
On Cardano, native assets are part of the ledger.
That means ADA, tokens, and NFTs can live together in the same wallet without every asset needing its own smart contract.
👇🧵
Markets move in cycles. Building doesn't stop.
The largest interoperability deployment in Cardano's history is underway. LayerZero connects Cardano to the broader crypto economy, bringing over 800 tokens and every major chain into one unified network.
It rolls out in phases: testnet, mainnet, Stargate, and developer tooling, culminating in one simple truth: by end of year, any asset deploys on Cardano.
The barriers are coming down, more soon.

A dead chain doesnt have online protestors professing its dead so people will look away. Cardano has competitors, afraid of its 0 hacks, 0 downtime, interoperability with a selective privacy partner chain that mints its own gas with throughput expansions and quantum proofiing coming.
Strike Finance just shipped
Credit Line 💳
Your USDCx/USDM LP is now collateral — borrow USD at 0% interest against it and put it to work.
Deposit your SundaeSwap LP → borrow at 0% → deploy into a Strike vault.
Largest stablecoin pool on Cardano, so your money works twice:
• your LP keeps earning DEX fees
• the borrowed USD earns vault yield
Double yield. Everyone makes money on Strike.
And we're flying — approaching $75M volume (468M ADA) and 100,000 trades this week. Faster 🏎️
