The uncomfortable conclusion is that net-zero rhetoric and animal welfare commitments are on a collision course. Sainsbury's is currently emphasising both, but they fundamentally pull in opposite directions. A supermarket that follows the carbon logic all the way to its conclusion ends up justifying exactly the factory farming conditions that consumers have spent decades pushing back against.
Contradiction that the industry hasn't resolved — and may not want to talk about openly.
It’s almost that time…
Privacy DEX and easily bridge between Cardano and Midnight
The industry still doesn’t have a dominant privacy L1
If Midnight grows as expected…
We should be able to do some damage
Are you ready? 👀
This is a major step forward for Hydra-powered apps! Previously it was slow/cumbersome to close a head with a large number of UTxO because you had to incrementally decommit single UTxO at a time until the final UTxO set was below the minimum threshold to perform fanout in a single action.
With this incremental partial fanout solution it is much easier for head operators to build systems that store value across many participants.
cardano:native L2 scaling continues to march forward
What if every farmer could finally be trusted by banks, buyers, and global markets?
That’s what 5AM Earth is building on Cardano.
Verified farmer IDs. Verified land. Verified crop data.
With 30,000+ agro-entrepreneurs connected to 3M+ farmers, the bridge to real adoption already exists.
Support the proposal. Link below.
We’re not just using AI to ship faster at Sundae Labs; we’re using it to build better, while protecting what matters most: ownership, quality, and team happiness.
Our CTO @Quantumplation shares the mindset:
- own every line of code
- use the time savings for deeper testing & stronger correctness
- raise the quality bar
- and turn extra capacity into real work-life balance.
Watch below 👇
Let's get back to our roots (get it?). Let's change the world. Please give this proposal serious consideration for the outsized -impact- it can make both in Cardano adoption + transforming real lives.
“Cardano is not a protocol. It's the people behind the protocol… We can even change the name if we want to. What we can't change is the people behind it.”

When you’re one bad day away from quitting this space forever…
and 99% of people feel exactly the same… the bottom is probably closer than everyone thinks.
New exploits are coming. Google has brought its post-quantum migration forward to 2029 – ahead of the NSA's 2031 and the US government's 2035 deadlines.⏰
The challenge for Cardano – post-quantum VRFs for Nakamoto-style leader election – is an open research problem. CV26 funds IOR to solve it:
🔬 Performance-optimized PQ VRFs
⚙️ Quantum-secure Ouroboros analysis
📜 A clear migration roadmap and CIP
Cardano is positioned to lead the migration now, not follow.

van Rossem hard fork update 🍴
The Cardano PreProd testnet has ratified the hard fork action on June 5, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.
This means that PreProd will hard fork to Protocol Version 11 on June 10, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.
Another major milestone on the road to Mainnet!

You see a transaction on the blockchain. You see the amount. Time. Wallet address.
You know someone exists. But you don't know exactly who.
And on the other side someone sees YOUR address. They know a transaction went out. They know you move in the network.
But they don't know who you are.
Exactly like the person behind frosted glass.
Blockchain works both ways:
🌐 Everyone sees that the network is alive. 🔐 No one knows that YOU are building it.
Midnight = transparency without identification.
You can see movement on the blockchain. You can see that someone exists. But you'll never know the true identity.
Behind the crypto glass everyone is anonymous. Behind the network glass everyone is pseudonymous.
🌙 Who's seeing your address tonight?

This Monday - I’m talking Mithril with @TeragoneFactory.
After working w/@IOGroup on core Mithril, popular in beta and prod-ready as of 1.0.0, Teragone is leading a proposal to extend Mithril as a seamless part of the Cardano experience 🧵

Congrats to @strikeperps on hitting #2 (impressive!)
Pretty cool that 3/4 top projects had their debut/breakout this bear market
Each in a different category as well (healthy!)
Judging by the growth of some of the other new projects, we might get to 5/6
