[ATLAS | Stablecoin Perps DEX @ATLAS_DEFI_]

$ATLAS is now added on @FluidTokens!

You can now lend it, use it as collateral or create pools.

This is exactly the kind of thing we need for a broader ecosystem.

More DeFi integrations coming soon👀

@canisterog @DarloSince1883 @Steezehuman It is 30 days before you can buy the BTC back yes. Or you could always swap for WBTC so you still have exposure and still crystallise the capital loss as it’s a different asset with different risks attached. Double check with your accountant though as rules change ongoing.

@DexHunterIO Bitcoin :-)

[Project Catalyst @Catalyst_onX]

Reliable oracle data.
A wallet that connects to banks.
A DEX without batchers.
Perpetuals that cannot be front-run.

Four completed Catalyst projects to spotlight in this batch.

✅ Orcfax Architecture Audit by @orcfax
Independent audit and code fixes for the Orcfax oracle architecture, strengthening data integrity across Cardano DeFi.

✅ ZKPerps by @nucastIO
A perpetuals trading prototype on Cardano with anti-front-running protection, built on Midnight's zero-knowledge proofs.

✅ GeroWallet Bank API Integration by @GeroWallet
European bank API integration in GeroWallet, with daily crypto-to-fiat transactions and Gero Card on mainnet.

✅ Rapid DEX by @wingriderscom
A batcher-free DEX on Cardano mainnet, with zap in/out features for faster, more efficient swaps.

Thanks to the four teams. Each one made a piece of Cardano work better in the real world.

Throughout 2026, we are contacting all active projects from Funds 11 to 14 so they can acknowledge their intention to complete their milestones.

Please reply within the deadlines below:
📌 Fund 13 — 1 July 2026
📌 Fund 14 — 1 August 2026

More completed work to share next week.

Very sound advice from @UtxoSaint last year re. Cardano projects.

$SNEK $STRIKE & $IAG for the win
NFA DYOR 🥳

[Saint @UtxoSaint]

Your daily reminder #CNTs:

A good developer doesn’t automatically mean a good token! It takes a very good “team” to run a proper web3 company and uphold token value for its stakeholders. Don’t throw away your precious $ADA! #Cardano!

@SLFMR1 Did people decide to delegate to Emurgo and Yoroi or delegate by default without realising ?

@IAGONAUTMANNY How’s the Midnight Discord been going ?

[Candle Kid @kid_candle]

@84Sliffer @IAGONAUTMANNY Check out most videos on You Tube from Charles. Hard to find a negative comments. Noticeably different mood.

@CryptoTice_ @grok is Cardano a much safer proposition ?

@moninvestor What about QQQ buys on day 15 when it lists on NASDAQ100

Unpopular opinion. Bitcoin will never be the world reserve currency whilst @Strategy holds 4.21% of the circulating $BTC supply and more than US and China and Uk combined. Never in a million years

USA: 328,372 BTC → ~1.64% of circulating BTC
China: 190,000 BTC → ~0.95%
UK: 61,245 BTC → ~0.31%

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Elon Musk thinks coding dies this year.

Not evolves. Dies.

By December, AI won’t need programming languages. It generates machine code directly. Binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce. No translation. No compilation. Just pure execution.

Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.”

Code was never the point. It was friction. A tax we paid because machines didn’t speak human. AI just learned fluent human. The tax is gone.

Now plug that into Neuralink. No syntax. No keyboard. No screen.

Musk: “Imagination-to-software.”

Thought becomes executable. You imagine an outcome, the system architects and compiles it into reality instantly.

We’re not automating programming. We’re erasing it from existence.

The entire profession collapses into a thought. Decades of training reduced to irrelevance. The gap between idea and instantiation hits zero.

You don’t build anymore. You imagine, and it materializes.

Not incremental progress. Total phase shift. The way humans have created things for ten thousand years just became obsolete.

Welcome to a world where the limiting factor isn’t skill, resources, or time. It’s whether you can picture what you want clearly enough for a machine to birth it into existence.

[Strike | Onchain Perps @strikeperps]

We’re excited to announce our newest feature: Credit Line 💳

LP assets can now be used as collateral on Strike 🔥

Take your LP tokens from the USDCx/USDM pair and deposit them into Strike to fund your account for trading or supplying liquidity.

This is the largest stablecoin pool on Cardano and people will be able to:

1. earn money from the dex liquidity pool
2. earn money from the Strike vault

Double yield, because everyone makes money on Strike.

More pairs coming soon.

UTXO CHAIN ALERT. For those who think the crypto markets are rational and think that the low price of Cardano means it's all over. Spare a thought for the poor old Hathor token holders. Market cap has plummeted to $1.76M (you read that right). At the peak of the last bull market the token price was $2.45 now it is $0.0034 and to be fair to these guys, they have never stopped building. @HathorNetwork $HTR $ADA
