Idea for @Cardano_CF: I'm hearing/seeing that you already paid deposits on your space for the dates and times you told us the summit would be held, this year, in Singapore, around the time of Token 2049 (Oct 5-6 iirc). Do it. Charge for booths, get sponsors, charge for tickets. Provide sufficient proof of both spend, attendance, sponsorship, and at least some outcomes... Then ask us to reimburse you the difference. If a $1M USD/day event is truly worth it, then surely you are well capitalized enough to prove it to the community and get reimbursed on the backside, just like all FEs ask people attending conferences and events on their behalf to pay for their own airfare, hotels, and lodging and get reimbursed afterwards.

Two layers, one stack.

Fireblocks RAW signing + @IagonOfficial's Cardano nodes and Insights API now give approved customers an operational path for ADA and CNTs.

I feel someone needs to Tell IOG enough is enough.
Treasury is not there to pay salary to IOG employees.
Treasury is just there to compensate for your Cardano work only if it is important and if you produce receipt of your work along with the rate you are charging for that work.

I guess this message is needed because I understand why some people are emotional right now. When someone with influence attacks a project, some panic and the current chart makes it look far worse than the underlying reality.

But Charles does not build Iagon. Charles does not control our enterprise pipeline. Charles does not control our revenue strategy. Charles does not control whether we ship, commercialize or deliver royalties to stakers - That responsibility is on us.

Our target market is not dependent on Cardano retail sentiment. We are focused on Web2, enterprise adoption, storage, compute, compliance and real commercial use cases. The Würth work is one example of that direction.

So people need to decide what they believe in - a temporary public argument or the fundamentals of what @IagonOfficial is building.

If holders let fear define the project, then yes, people with influence can damage any builder with a few posts. But if the community looks at execution, revenue, partnerships, product delivery and long-term adoption, then outside noise does not decide our future.

I cannot tell anyone what to do. Everyone has to make their own decision. But I can say this clearly - the team is still here, the work is still happening, announcements will come when ready and the best response to this situation is EXECUTION $IAG

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.

Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.”

And told Americans directly — call Congress.

End this war.

To ensure the ceasefire is successful we must first ensure that we restrain the Israelis.

**Was it Worth it Liqwid?

My father worked his entire life as a salesman. One day he said something I’ll never forget: “Son, for every ten customers who walk away happy, all it takes is one rotten one to burn the whole thing down. Ten handshakes, ten promises kept, ten reputations built—wiped out by a single liar who never intended to honor his word.”

Today that lesson hit Cardano like a freight train.

For years, visionaries like @cardano_whale and @IOHK_Charles poured their souls into this ecosystem. They built trust brick by brick—transparent governance, peer-reviewed science, a promise that this time blockchain would be different. No hype, no scams, no “move fast and break things.” Just honest, methodical work that attracted real builders and real believers.

Then one single leadership team decided the rules no longer applied to them.

They orchestrated a vote that the DAO rubber-stamped, and in a single afternoon they torched more prestige, more value, and more hard-earned reputation than any rug-pull artist ever managed with a liquidity drain and a tweet. At least a rug pull is honest in its dishonesty—you know the thief is a thief. This was dressed up as “community governance.” This was the community itself handing the keys to the safe and then acting shocked when the safe was emptied.

The LQ team didn’t just get away with it; the DAO voted to let them. That’s not a bug in the system. That’s the system working exactly as the worst actors designed it. One proposal, one snapshot, one collective shrug—and years of “we’re not like the others” evaporated.

And the message this sends to the outside world is crystal clear:

To VCs: “Come in, we’ll let the mob rewrite the terms whenever it’s convenient.”
To banks and institutions: “Our ‘immutable’ ledger can be immutably rewritten by whoever shouts loudest on Discord.”
To every serious builder watching from the sidelines: “Cardano is now just another casino where the house always wins—except the house is the DAO and the dealers are the same people who swore they’d never deal from the bottom of the deck.”

Was it worth it?

Was destroying the one thing Cardano had that no other chain could claim—earned credibility—worth whatever short-term gain this “victory” delivered? Was it worth watching the very people who sacrificed the most for this project now stare at the wreckage and wonder why they bothered?

Because from where I’m sitting, the answer is a resounding, gut-wrenching no.

One bad actor. One complicit vote. Ten years of trust gone.

But here’s the part my father never had to teach me, because Cardano taught it instead: real communities don’t just complain—they act.

Cardano holders still have a choice. We can sit here fuming while the damage spreads, or show the entire broader crypto community we are not helpless, we are not complicit, that we still have spines and principles.

It starts with the only vote that still matters: **our liquidity**.

Remove it. **Now.**

Pull every last drop of capital out of the protocol and teams that enabled or excused this betrayal. Move it to the builders who still respect the original Cardano ethos—who build the proper way, with transparency, accountability, and actual skin in the game.

Shift your liquidity to:

- @FluidTokens
- @levvyfinance
- @Indigo_protocol
- and every other honest project still grinding to deliver real utility without rewriting the rules mid-game.

When the numbers bleed red on the screens of the guilty, when TVL craters and the excuses dry up—that’s when the broader crypto world will finally see: Cardano isn’t broken. Cardano holders are awake, and we police our own house.

We root out the evil. We don’t vote for it. We don’t fund it. We starve it.

My father would tell you the same thing he told every shady customer who tried to cheat him: “You don’t get to keep the benefit of my trust after you’ve abused it.”

Time to send that message—loud, expensive, and unmistakable.

Move your liquidity now!

Community wants less control by the founding entities not more.

We have seen how you manage funds in the past, there has been a lot of waste. Building competitive dapps against the ecosystem, instead of supporting the the ones that are already exist and have better traction.

It is becoming more and more clear that control is what is wanted here not advancement of the ecosystem. The governance vote is already centralized.

Taking a certain token allocation for funds is actually a decent idea - only if the tokenomics make sense for the project (I don't think 10-30% is feasible for most projects). I'm wondering why we haven't taken equity in the companies making profits from the treasury? I'm there are net + revenue companies still getting money from the treasury. Why wasn't this thought out before?
