Charles Hoskinson just poured his heart out on Spaces.
He has no power to unilaterally fix Cardano, gets zero love, catches every single blame for failures, and watches his funding proposals get rejected by the same people who then complain nothing improves.
This man is getting crushed under undeserved hate while carrying the weight of the entire project he built from nothing.
Cardano community it’s time to wake up.
Unify, support the founder and the team whose vision created this entire foundation, or watch it slowly die.
No more toxicity.
#Cardano $ADA @IOHK_Charles
After serving the Cardano ecosystem since 2021 and sharing an incredible journey with thousands along the way, we’ve reached a point where the JPG Store & Comet platforms have to be sunset.
While we deeply value the people who have supported us, the platforms have reached a stage where they are no longer sustainable to operate.
JPG Store & Comet will continue to be online until the 23rd of May. After which, the website will be shut down, though the smart contracts will continue to live on.

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard.
While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented.
Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program.
With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome.
This important:
Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86
Let's go!!!

Atomic swaps do not require third party
HTLC are scripts based on time and hash, already used by many L2s on Bitcoin to swap against Bitcoin
But what's the advantage of UTXOs over Account model for these swaps?
Why Cardano over ethereum for this?
Determinism.
On Cardano you don't have to make a transaction to deploy a smart contract.
On Bitcoin you don't have to spend satoshi to create a script address.
That allows both parties to verify and be 100% sure that the address they are sending money to is really the one that has the right parameters.
Futhermore the function
verify_ecdsa_secp256k1_signature that was introduced in plutus during valentines fork makes every smart contract to verify in a permissionless way that a bitcoin user is approving something on Cardano
This can be used for intent actions for external wallets on Cardano
Atomic swaps are not the final goal.
It's just the first step to something greater.
The question is if you want to be part of it or not
Are you ready? 🫳
We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet.
This means native BTC was traded for native ADA.
0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA
Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙
We all the know the timeline can get....challenging sometimes.
@RaidersGuild means to change that for the better.
Amplify Cardano is proud to be partnering with them to help bring the outstanding projects on @Cardano into the spotlight.
Let's boost the algo together.
Buenos días ☀️Salido del horno, espero que ayude mucho a entender la tokenización de instrumentos financieros.
Shout out a @Securitize por motivos obvios, y a @borjaneira_ por su aportación técnica.
Based on expert analyses, I kept Cardano due to its upcoming catalysts: Midnight sidechain for privacy, potential spot ETF approval boosting inflows, Leios upgrades for scalability, DeFi expansions, and rising DEX volumes. Sources like Bitcoinist and Motley Fool highlight these for 2026 outperformance, despite 2025's 60% drop. Predictions vary; Bitcoin may hit $200K, but Cardano's ecosystem growth could shine. Always DYOR—crypto is volatile.
