[TapTools @TapTools]

TapTools is coming up on 4 years of building on Cardano.

No VC backing.

No shortcuts.

Just a team that believed Cardano deserved better data, better visibility, and better infrastructure.

Since then, we’ve helped bring Cardano to the world:

Nearly 600 articles written.

Over 200M views generated on X.

The largest userbase of any Cardano project by a wide margin.

4 years of tracking the ecosystem.

4 years of highlighting builders.

4 years of showing up when Cardano needed more voices pushing it forward.

We started as a data platform.

Today, TapTools is one of Cardano’s largest distribution engines.

We aren't done yet.

With Solana down again, it’s a good reminder that the “D” in Solana stands for Decentralized and the “R” is for Reliable.

[ⓧ Jack Levin ⓧ X1 @mrJackLevin]

I can confirm Solana is at least partially down, validators having crash issues: my crashes with

`ERROR solana_accounts_db::accounts_hash] Failed to map the data file (size: 192): Cannot allocate memory (os error 12).`

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

Honestly, I can't overstate how impressive the work that @trivolvetech, @NucastIO, @cardanoscanio & @LovelaceClubNFT is doing in India is.

They've achieved things that no one else in Cardano has.

None of the founding entities are looking at India seriously at the moment.

There are barely any startups from Cardano building in India. It's completely left out of the discussions.

And yet a lot of the biggest achievements Cardano has are coming from there.

That's why I spent almost 4 months there in the last 12 months, with the
Trivolve/Nucast team at their house.

NMKR India soonTM.

It's the highest potential country we can focus on IMHO.

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

So... AP just released this. But for some reason people in Cardano and Crypto still don't know about it.

@trivolvetech is literally building a Forensic System for an Indian State Government ON CARDANO.

Probably the biggest project/partnership we had in a while.

Dear Patrick and Pierre,
Just a big Thank You for fighting the good fight.

2024 will be an amazing year.

Wish you all the best🌟🎊🥳

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

Can I just mention what a boss @CardanoPierre is?

I keep repeating myself on this, but he's literally on holiday right now. But instead of resting, he's active and keeps scheduling introductions to projects, trying to get to know everyone in the space & learn what he can do to help them.

We're so lucky to have people like Pierre working in the @Cardano_CF.
