Cardano DeFi is ready for prime time.
Today we’re introducing PRIME:
a 12-month AlphaGrowth-run program to help Cardano attract liquidity, deepen DeFi usage, and become a first-class destination for capital.
May was a big month for Cardano.
Regulated $ADA futures on @CMEGroup.
A three-year Olympic Committee partnership.
20 governance actions running at once.
An accelerator cohort forming.
A hard fork on the horizon.
And much more, all in our monthly update: https://t.co/dO3wcaoaHT
About to cook up something very special with @SebastienGllmt and @MidnightNtwrk and @wayupio
announcement of maybe an announcement, can't contain the excitement though
Max Weber (@maxalexweber) joins us to discuss ODATANO and how to bring #Cardano into enterprise SAP environments through standardized OData interfaces. 🚀
This Developers Office Hour breaks down the technical intersection of blockchain and enterprise systems:
• Enterprise Gateway: An overview of the OData V4 architecture built specifically for Cardano.
• Cloud Environments: Strategies for seamless integration into the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
• Core Integration: Transitioning from standard API queries to user-first enterprise data models.
Check out the documentation and resources mentioned in the session:

There's a lot of really cool people participating in the privacy narrative!
Many new faces. Many new opportunities
It's a lot of fun. I recommend if you're looking for positive vibes
NIGHT is looking good here 🔥
Now approaching $50M in daily trading volume and over $500M market cap
Plan is for NIGHT to become the leading privacy L1 and we become the #1 dapp… 🚢
The Zcash bug just exposed why "hope-based" crypto is dying. 🛑
A soundness flaw hidden since 2022 could’ve let attackers ghost-mint unlimited $ZEC. Worst part? On a privacy chain, we may never know for sure if it was exploited.
This is why the industry is shifting hard to Formal Verification and high-assurance engineering.
What some dismiss as “overkill” is now table stakes for real financial infrastructure.
In this breakdown, I cover:
📉 The brutal market reaction + hidden state risks
🛡️ Why Cardano’s security-first model is aging like fine wine
🌌 Midnight’s chain-agnostic privacy layer for the whole ecosystem
Stop betting on luck. Bet on math. 🧮
What’s your take— is formal verification the future, or still unnecessary complexity? 👇
[Link in first reply]
Privacy works best with UTXOs.
Intents work best with UTXOs.
Formal verification works best with UTXOs.
There has quite literally never been a better time to be a UTXO chain
🔥 CARDANO BOUNDARY PROGRAM IS LIVE!
$ADA flag on my head! 🌓
Joining the privacy revolution with $NIGHT.
Holding strong!
DCA on dips, long term belief 💪

Forget Midnight Privacy: Why Institutional Whales Are Buying NIGHT Right Now
Cardano’s Midnight sidechain is quietly positioning itself to become the foundational execution layer for a multi-trillion dollar digital industry expansion. As corporate AI commerce faces a massive design flaw where public blockchains expose sensitive proprietary algorithms, a shift toward selective disclosure and zero knowledge technology is becoming a structural requirement. Discover how the dual token ecosystem of dust and night balances network compute costs with enterprise stability to protect operational data.
This investigative look into the Midnight City interactive simulation details an impossible plan to catapult Cardano to the number one spot by 2030 through utility, efficiency, and security. Learn how autonomous AI agents simulate private economic activity and why building a secure private layer avoids the trapped data of centralized tech giants.

"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade."
Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently.
The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all.
"Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use."
We cover:
- Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model
- The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale
- Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions
- Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents
- The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters
- Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline
- What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto
- The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real
Thanks to Charles for coming on @new_era_finance.

Markets move in cycles. Building doesn't stop.
The largest interoperability deployment in Cardano's history is underway. LayerZero connects Cardano to the broader crypto economy, bringing over 800 tokens and every major chain into one unified network.
It rolls out in phases: testnet, mainnet, Stargate, and developer tooling, culminating in one simple truth: by end of year, any asset deploys on Cardano.
The barriers are coming down, more soon.

So many are saying the bear market has officially begun.
No. The bear market is almost over.
And I really think crypto is going to shock everyone this cycle.
I bet my entire life, 10yrs worth of research & entire net worth on this moment.
I’m warning you that life changing wealth is about to come.
The masses do not see this.
When I look at the business cycle… What the US dollar is doing…what Trump is doing…the stimulus that’s coming after years of prolonged draining…What metals are doing. The new FED chair…
Institutional interest in crypto. Retail distributing to big money. The Clarity Act, etc..
Understand that, and you beat 95% of investors.
You all deserve what’s about to happen.
If you still haven’t followed me, you’ll regret it.
We just added 3 more @MidnightNtwrk mainnet node operators!
💳 @MoneyGram - in 200+ countries
📈 @eToro - 35M users and listed $NIGHT
📡 Pairpoint by @VodafoneUK - IoT meets blockchain
That's now 7 operators including @GoogleCloud and @Blockdaemon.
Midnight mainnet is quickly approaching and every institutional player needs regulatory compliant privacy!
🚨 BITCOIN IS REPEATING A PATTERN THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Most people think Bitcoin is going to crash even further than it already has.
When you look closer, it's forming the exact same continuation pattern as it always does.
Right now, it's much larger than previously, but for obvious reasons.
We've been selling off much more compared to the pullbacks in the video.
This causes the structure to appear much larger.
No matter the size, the structure is the same.
The outcome will also be the same.
🚨GRAYSCALE INCREASES ADA HOLDINGS
Grayscale Investments raised ADA’s weighting in its Smart Contract Fund to 20.12%, up from 19.50%.
Another consecutive increase, signaling stronger conviction in Cardano.
