Enjoyed this conversation with @NicolasC3rny during @Cardano governance hour . During governance hour, I spoke about the @builder__dao and how I believe we should evolve Cardano Governance with Delegated Responsibility through our grassroots efforts with Initiative DAOs.
For you Cardano believers, who came here with the same idea as me, the world needs decentralized blockchains and the future financial and identity markets will run on these systems, hang in there. Goverance can be very messy, discouraging, and full of emotion, but Cardano is a start up in itself, we are figuring it out. All we can do is fight for what we believe in and make sure we keep our conduct as a community professional.
@Jennycitalinda 350 mill shouldve been more then enough, we seem to lack conviction when it comes to comes to no voting things that can wait till next year
@ESCOweb3 Yea that we dont have a economy we have a grant program and about ten truly solvent dapps, those that are killing it are ignored while those who curry favor and hold ada sway continue to try sucking the life blood outta this eco.
Earlier today, the SteelSwap Aggregator experienced no issues affecting orders routed through Splash.
Splash changed its batcher fee (from 1 ADA to 2 ADA). We were not aware of the change beforehand, but this had no impact on SteelSwap operations because SteelSwap bypasses Splash batchers, so you only pay transaction fees.
Since there was no issue:
✅ SteelSwap had no downtime
✅ Your funds are safe as usual
✅ No orders were lost
If you have a pending Splash order, we recommend using SteelSwap for all your future swaps so you are not caught in this position ever again.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The market goes up and down, while Fluid stays growing 😤
debt, number of wallets and collateral have been soaring in the past 7 days!
This means fluid has now more liquidity, with more users and a higher utilisation.

Leadership isn’t just about being right. It’s about being responsible with your words, not sure what solves this as everyone can do what they want but some have a larger degree of impact then others. Do your words hurt the chain? Yes Undermine confidence? Yes Ruin business for thousands of people all at once? Yes
A 2-hour YouTube discussion becomes a 10-word headline.
Suddenly:
“Cardano Faces Shutdown Wave”
“ADA Falls as Projects Die”
The nuance is gone and the fear remains.
🔷 Builders hear uncertainty
🔷 Investors hear risk
🔷 Markets hear weakness
The reality is that every ecosystem loses projects during difficult markets.
The real question is whether we’re building enough commerce, customers, and enterprise adoption to replace them.
Words matter Context matters.
And leaders should always strive to mitigate problems and ensure you protect the chain and its teams working here.

Code of conduct isnt enforceable but is anyone above reproach here?
Recently abstained here, I believe we need to moderate our spend on research to ensure we have a chain left that people will want to read and utilize a research paper in subjects like quantum resistance and other important topics. I look forward to seeing this next tear in fiscal 27
Brazil's largest company is recording proof of attendance records on Cardano.
@Petrobras logs mandatory training attendance with NFC cards from @TapDano, signed at entry and exit.
The result? Up to 400% more verifiable data than manual methods.

Just an fyi those not voting on all props, will water down those they didnt bote as ince a drep votes on one that adds to the total delegated stake making it tougher on props to get too 67%. This in my mind needs to be changed before we hit the voting close date, it gives dreps a way to in essence down vote a proposal by ignoring it while voting on just specific props. This is very similar to the down vote that was removed in fund 9 for this very same reason, each dreps should be required to give yes or no on each prop.

Cardano has entered its post-subsidy phase.
It will be challenging; many will exit, but I believe it's the only way forward.
We can't continue subsidizing businesses with Treasury funds that lack a sustainable business model.
Relying on broad funding aka subsidizing every idea has failed; instead, we should focus on supporting builders who operate profitably or are clearly on the path to PMF.
This is the Way:-)
Well said and fostering a enviroment where companies use our blockchain is critical to success going forward, the large majority of whats left of 26 ncl and the future fiscal 27’s funding, should be geared towards those with profitable business models. This along with direct partnerships with large trad co’s looking to leverage a technically solid blockchain capable of supporting their needs to move into web 2.5 (web 3 without the crypto wrapper).
Yes we still continue infra/development funding and recurring maintenance costs but budget it in a typical business manner. We have a uber dependable blockchain that business would love to operate on, its up to us to create end to end solutions they will be satisfied with year end and year out.
@JaromrTesar comment “We lack a process that would allow us to agree on which categories we want to invest in and how much before the NCL is approved” can be a way for independent groups that give of their time to provide key insights that “guide” not “tell” which way to go will be very useful.
People here hate being told what to do, they do however gravitate towards those with experience and no direct financial benefit that always creates division. This is the way:-)
Most Cardano dApps still speak their own language.
Every protocol has its own SDK, its own quirks, its own way of doing things. That works fine if you're only touching one of them. The moment you want something that spans multiple protocols, like intent-based swaps, it falls apart.
@txpipe_tools TX3 is trying to fix exactly that.
One consistent layer that lets developers talk to Minswap, Strike, or anything else the same way.
I sat down with @santicarmuega to go through how it actually works and what it unlocks.
What do you reckon?
Is a unified SDK layer the missing piece for proper intent-based stuff on Cardano, or are we still too early?

Yea the business model was solid the market they are in here is not, its riddled with people who shot down other peoples ideas solely based on ensuring they get the approval not them, there are those who torpedo at every turn anything that doesn't directly benefit their side hustle. There are those at various positions of power that directly undermine others ability to get approval while building a duplicate model and selling it themselves. The economy here is very small so actually building something great and a sub par version comes out, people immediately go there and don't care about the superior project that TT is. Times are tough and I don't blame them for shuttering, hopefully at least they can sell the tech to someone else and let them run it either as a standalone or integrated into their current Dapp
After three years of building for Cardano, today we have difficult news to share.
Most of you know and love SteelSwap for being the most advanced aggregator on Cardano with the cheapest fees. We have been in continuous operations and kept alive on conviction and love of the ecosystem.
Thus, we would like to announce that we are not going anywhere. Times are tough, but we are tougher.
Instead, we are doubling down. We are actively working on new products and features. Keep an eye out for the new things we are building.
