Heading back from my second TOKEN2049. Cardano definitely leveled up again booth-wise (credit to @Cardano_CF for the execution), although anecdotally from my POV, foot traffic at the whole event felt lighter than last year. Most likely a reflection of market sentiment, but regardless TOKEN2049 still remains the biggest event on the crypto calendar.

It was also clear how much progress many of the Cardano teams presenting have made in recent months. There's also a lot more raising going on which makes for a positive signal. Overall the ecosystem feels more mature for it.

The privacy play remains a major opportunity for the Cardano ecosystem, and the keynotes from @F_ZK_Now and @IOHK_Charles were more substantive than ever.

Although this year I spent more time with the media (more TradFi outlets than the usual blockchain media), and the questions I got focused on post-quantum security, privacy, and the opportunities (and risks) of agentic AI. This was pretty much the main themes on the mind of publishers and all they wanted to cover.

The good news is Cardano has meaningful work underway in each of these areas, including the treasury-backed @IOGroup research into post-quantum cryptography, @MidnightNtwrk work on programmable privacy, and @MasumiNetwork work on agent identity and payments (to pick on one).

So my main takeaway - Cardano is well positioned based on the trends of the day, outside capital is coming in and teams are levelling up, but as usual there's still plenty to deliver. Upwards!

Congratulations to the winners and well done to all those that took part!

The winners of the @TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon are in, and...

The overall winner came out of the Cardano track.

Teams built agents that pay, get paid, and prove their work, on rails like x402 and Masumi.

Here are the winners. 🧵
