IO Research: A proposal worth fighting for

From my earliest days in the ecosystem, I was captivated by the idea of paper-based research, a market differentiator that brought seriousness and professionalism to the industry and to Cardano. I was completely fascinated by concepts like liquid democracy. These are contributions to the history of humanity that will be studied for many, many years to come.

That is part of building a legacy. That is what we set out to do, and what I signed up for. Senior government executives and scholars praised the academic work built upon our foundations, work that made our structure and technology so solid and resilient.
These are researchers and PhDs, unmatched and immensely valuable talent that we cannot afford to let go.

And I agree with @IOHK_Charles that this research will be essential to meet the technological challenges ahead, to remain relevant and resilient. To give just one small example, consider the eventual arrival of quantum computing, or the question of scalability.

When the content of these papers is mentioned in universities, it conveys a feasibility and credibility that is beyond question among the most distinguished scholars.

The ink, the words, and the outcomes of those papers are where the engineering and the soundness are later built. Both their upkeep and our participation in them are part of our DNA.

It can often be difficult to process the sheer volume of information presented to us, but I invite you to read some of the content here and to be as amazed as I once was.

Sincerely and on a deeply personal level, without any benefit whatsoever to myself or those around me, I invite you to support the governance initiatives and proposals related to Cardano Vision 2026: Human-Centred, Scalable, Post-Quantum Secure, IO Research

After talking with @F_Gregaard at PBW 2026…

I don’t think most people understand what Cardano is really building yet.

And honestly, that’s probably the opportunity!

Building with AI tools as a blockchain developer often means fighting hallucinations, broken code, and documentation gaps.

✨ Midnight Expert takes a different approach.

Built for Midnight developers, Midnight Expert is a suite of AI skills for Claude that understands Compact, the SDK, local devnets, testing workflows, and Midnight development patterns.

Instead of relying on confident guesses, it can verify outputs by actually compiling, running, type-checking, and inspecting code.

JPG Store has said goodbye. Now, TapTools has announced its sunset. This is a wake-up call for the ecosystem.

First of all, thank you to all the builders who have already made or are about to make similar decisions.

This bear market is hitting the entire crypto industry hard. I see similar announcements in other ecosystems, including Ethereum and Solana.

DappRadar was a broad, cross-chain data platform, and even that business could not sustain itself.

Teams can make business mistakes. They don’t have to be monetization experts. The reasons for closing a project vary, but they usually have the same reason.

No business is sustainable without users.

In an ideal world, there is competition that allows the best to win. In crypto, projects fight for survival even without significant competitors.

Catalyst had many flaws, but it allowed the community to grow, maintain non-profit projects, and initiate new ones.

Without an alternative to Catalyst, Cardano is facing hard times.

Many projects are quickly submitting on-chain withdrawals before the Intersect process proposals get there. Once the Intersect process is over, the budget will probably be exhausted until next year.

Several DReps offer a way to inject resources into the ecosystem. There is still time to support DAOs.

Now, in a bear market, it is the perfect time to start building new applications and prepare for a bull market.

We have Treasury, let's turn that into our advantage.

Many DReps reject DAOs with arguments that we do not understand. For example:

- DReps are not competent to make decisions.

- DReps only want rewards.

- DReps want to fund their proposals.

- We have on-chain governance. We do not need DAOs.

- Operation costs are too high.

- Etc.

Instead of funding solutions, we look for reasons why it is not possible now, or why we cannot do it. This mentality is unhealthy for the ecosystem.

Time is against us.

Once again: DAOs are open to everyone. You can join and make decisions. You can propose changes. Your voice will be heard.

Innovation & Growth DAO even has a budget for external experts.

Projects will naturally die out. JPG Store and TapTools may be just the beginning. This is healthy.

However, we need to enable their successors to emerge through grants and RFPs.

We need funding for non-profit projects. We can have multiple DAOs for that.

In my view, DReps must finally start coordinating decisions, discussing strategy, and prioritizing.

Governance was launched without this component.

DAOs are the answer to this need. It is natural for people to come together when they have a common goal. It is necessary to debate how best to achieve that goal.

DReps must unite. Otherwise, we make chaotic decisions on random proposals. No one is sure what will be approved and why.

Exclamations like "we invested too much in infra" may be true, but they come too late. DReps should have had a plan before the NCL was approved.

One more thing:

Stop referring to Charles. After the introduction of on-chain governance, DReps decide who gets funding.

Everyone can propose whatever they want. DReps are responsible for allocating ₳350M.

Trust me, many of them do it responsibly and with the best of conscience, even though it is an unpaid position.

It is not too late for DReps to support DAOs or start talking about alternative solutions. We have time until we run out of budget.

The double standard between this and J6 is too much to bear. Touching the bike rack was assault with a deadly weapon, theft of government property, interfering with law enforcement, and terrorist enhancement. Combined for decades in prison.

Leios is getting closer.

The first public SPO testnet remains on track for June 2026, and progress this week was significant:
• Treasury funding approved by the Cardano community with 88% support
• CIP-0164 update reduced Leios block certificates from ~8 kB to ~200 bytes — around 40× smaller
• The reference implementation was successfully rebased onto the upcoming Dijkstra era
• Piranha, a new adversarial testing tool, is now live for protocol attack simulation

A lot of deep engineering work is coming together behind the scenes and the first public testnet is getting closer!

Big news: we've partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (@timebrasil) to transform Olympic sport with public blockchain, IoT, and AI.

The three-year roadmap aims to position COB as the global benchmark in sports innovation.

The best part? It's all powered by Cardano. ⚡️

This is a really interesting idea. What do you guys think? Cardano Summit Globally on https://t.co/N2gfZpbmVR? We could treat it like the world's fair and build lots of special zones for each Dapp and project

Today we added another 266 Spark AirNodes to our holdings, totaling 2,757 @WorldMobileTeam AirNodes!

Our goal has always been simple:
build an ecosystem that continues becoming stronger over time. This expansion represents another step toward that goal.

As deployments continue increasing, so does the strength and reach of the ecosystem we’re building around $HSKN.

Appreciate everyone who has continued believing in the vision from the beginning.

We’re going to keep building!

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
