No.Witness Labs will be there

Looking forward to seeing old and new friends again 🤝

[George Flerovsky @SwiftlyUnmoving]

I'm pleased that @nowitnesslabs's proposals are strongly supported by the community in the Catalyst vote.

(Lidonation's explorer says 4/6 proposals likely funded 🚀)

I wholeheartedly endorse their proposals (search "No Witness" to vote), so here's a little summary from me. 🧵⬇️

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

Thank you so much George for this great thread. It really does show all the strengths of No.Witness proposals.

"Firehose & Substreams Integration" will be key for multi-chain teams to start integrating Cardano into their apps.

Firehose/Substream are well-established blockchain indexing standards/techs outside of the Cardano "bubble", and it's high time we started supporting them!

[George Flerovsky @SwiftlyUnmoving]

Cataloguing Cardano's "common vulnerability patterns" is an important, often thankless job that @nowitnesslabs has stepped up to do.

There's so much security-practices folklore accumulated by experienced Cardano devs, and new devs need to know about them!

"Firehose & Substreams Integration" will be key for multi-chain teams to start integrating #Cardano into their apps.

I know we all what that, and that we all need that.

Please search for "No Witness" in the Catalyst voting app and support us by voting yes.

Thank you in advance 🙏

#Cardano has a security problem: many teams building don't know about common vulnerabilities

Right now, teams building on Cardano are not aware of common mistakes and vulnerabilities that keep getting repeated that auditors know about and we want to change that.

Our solution to this ⤵️

Common Vulnerabilities Patterns - Project Catalyts Proposal

With this proposal:

• Developers get practical, tested resources to avoid repeating old mistakes.
• Projects save huge costs by preventing security incidents instead of cleaning up after them.
• The ecosystem gains a structured, AI-ready knowledge base that can power real-time automated security tools in the future.

In other words, Cardano security gets a huge boost, teams have it easier when developing AND auditors have it easier while doing manual revision because more of them are aware of common pitfals.

#CardanoCommunity thank you for your attention and we hope to get your support for this extremely valuable proposal

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

Reminder that this proposal is desperately needed to get Cardano best practices out to everyone.

Search for "No Wittness" in the Catalyst voting app and please support us.

Thank you in advance

[No.Witness Labs @nowitnesslabs]

We received a few questions regarding this proposal.

It is not about letting AI doing the audit. That would be insane

It is about helping teams develop and avoid common pitfalls before the codebase is ready for the audit.

Here is how the audit process usually looks like:
• the audit team is getting familiar with the project: both codebase and the business logic
• questions are asked about certain parts that need further explanation
• manual revision starts, and what that means is that the team goes over each line of code and check if there are any mistakes, functions are checked and tested, math is double checked etc
• findings are reported to the client and the client explains the reasoning or acknowledges as starts working on the fix
• after those steps are done and the audit is finished the audit report is created

This proposal comes before all of that - to help teams avoid common mistakes, and have agents help them do the same.

This helps devs, investors, auditors and the ecosystem itself - to know publicly what to avoid. Ethereum eco has been doing that for years and that is the exact way how they got to best practices.

Thank you for your support everyone 🫡

Sabías que No Witness Labs tiene dos propuestas de Catalyst recomendadas por uno de los desarrolladores más respetados de nuestro ecosistema, @KtorZ?

Son:
• Firehose and Substreams Integration for Cardano – llevando indexadores estándar de la industria a Cardano.
• Ghost Codec, el Hardhat de Cardano – un entorno de desarrollo completo para desarrollar, probar y lanzar en testnet.

AI is more and more becoming a reality and if this works it is going to be great for the #Cardano ecosystem

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

Imagine a world where an AI agent can scan your #Cardano smart contract and instantly say:

“Here’s a known vulnerability.”

“Here’s the exploit that attackers could use.”

“Here’s the fix, with tested Aiken code.”

That is what we build with our "Common Vulnerabilities Patterns" Proposal

Search for "No Witness" in the Catalyst app to support.

Thank you so much 🦾

🚨 How to transform Cardano Dev Experience?

When creating our Catalyst proposals for F14 I also planned how to incorporate every tool into our transaction builder Evolution SDK.

And with your support after this round it will be exactly what Cardano deserves:
• build Hydra projects with ease
• have state of the art UTxO selection algo
• check for vulnerabilities while developing in real time
• teach AI how to build offchain code (ie transactions)
• build with templates, run unified tests and launch private testnets - all in one place

Let's get the word out there, we definitely need your support so please share this post and vote for No Witness proposals 🦾

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

I have spent the last 10 months working on Hydra and learned all the ins and outs.

Some parts were hard for me to use, at some parts the whole dev team kept getting stuck and we all wished there was a way to get this project done in an easier way.

Here I want to deliver to the community everything I have learned while working on Hydra for the Glacier Drop and everything we wished we had.

Please vote for our proposal and let's make developers lives easier.

Thank you for your support 🧑‍🔬

Do you know want do you really want?

Less friction, and more coverage for Cardano

Picture this: a multi-chain DEX aggregator can reuse its Substreams modules to index Cardano swaps and liquidity events with the same patterns used on other networks.

Presenting to you Catalyst proposals no.5

No Witness – Firehose & Substreams Integration for Cardano

The industry standard for blockchain data extraction called Substreams is missing on Cardano and that gap keeps multi-chain teams from adding Cardano and forces locals to maintain custom, fragmented pipelines.

What we’re building is a production-grade implementation of StreamingFast Firehose + Substreams for Cardano which developers can use the same proven tools they already use on other chains.

OPEN SOURCE FROM DAY ONE

If you want Cardano data to be first-class, multi-chain, and production-ready, this is a proposal worth supporting.

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

Time to bring back the memes. I completely forgot how many I posted in previous rounds 😅

No Witness – Firehose & Substreams Integration for Cardano

What this proposal does is:

• Multi-chain apps can add Cardano with familiar Substreams modules—no new stack required

• One code path for ETH/Polygon/Cardano data = less maintenance, faster shipping

• Cleaner, standardized access for analytics, BI, institutional platforms, and education

Please take some time to check out the proposal and vote for it is you think this would bring value to Cardano.

Thank you in advance 🤝

@solidsnakedev Ladies and gents, we have them back :)

[Jonathan @solidsnakedev]

Cardano is a modern marvel we completely take for granted

• 100% uptime since mainnet launch in 2017
• Lowest energy per transaction among major blockchains
• Most decentralized blockchain with over 3000 stake pools run by individual around the world

I am on a missing to make it even better with No.Witness Labs Catalyst proposals.

Today I want to share about our MACS coin selection proposals. It aims to:

• Integrate MACS (Multi-Asset Coin Selection) – a Cardano Foundation research algorithm
• Introduce smarter inputs = lower fees, less clutter, more efficient transactions
• Flexible API so devs can choose the right strategy per use case

And why it matters to you, you may ask?

Well it directly translates to:
• You savin on fees
• Your favorite dApps run smoother
• Research done by CF becomes a real tool – open source from day one that our developers can easily use to build better.

Please support this proposal and share this post if you think it aligns with your vision for Cardano
