I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

[LayerZero @LayerZero_Core]

Crypto's next phase will not be won by isolated ecosystems.

The largest interoperability deployment in Cardano's history is coming. Earlier this year, we announced that all of crypto would be connected to Cardano via LayerZero, creating a path for over 800 tokens to natively expand into the Cardano ecosystem.

The complex technical work will roll out in phases, from testnet and mainnet endpoints, to Stargate, to developer tooling that makes it easy for anyone to deploy, to product integrations across the entire LayerZero stack. By the end of this year, any asset will be able to deploy on Cardano.

While this work is in flight, we'll be teaming up with the Cardano teams to share more behind the scenes: a detailed roadmap, a deep dive on our partnership, and co-hosted digital and IRL events for the community.

We're excited for what this work means for both LayerZero and Cardano, and can't wait to share more in the coming weeks.

A connected Cardano. Done right.

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

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.

UN Launches Blockchain Advisory Group With Sui, Avalanche, Cardano

The United Nations Development Programme has launched a Blockchain Advisory Group featuring Ethereum, Cardano (@Cardano), Stellar (@StellarOrg), Sui (@SuiNetwork), Avalanche (@avax) and other industry leaders.

The initiative will explore blockchain's role in financial inclusion and digital public infrastructure.

The first discussions focused on payments, digital identity and interoperability challenges.

🔥 WHY DON’T THEY LIKE CARDANO? 🔥

Why do some people spend so much time attacking $ADA ?

The answer is simple 👇

1️⃣ They can’t control it.

2️⃣ They aren’t positioned in it.

3️⃣ They can’t pressure it.

4️⃣ They can’t manipulate it.

5️⃣ They can’t force the community to follow their narrative.

6️⃣ It’s too resilient.

7️⃣ It’s more secure than many of the projects they promote.

8️⃣ It’s built on research, not hype.

9️⃣ It still has one of the strongest and most loyal communities in crypto.

🔟 They know Cardano’s biggest chapter may still be ahead of us.

For years they laughed.

For years they underestimated it.

For years they said it would disappear.

Yet Cardano is still here.

Still building.

Still growing.

Still securing billions in value.

Still backed by a community that refuses to quit.

The funny thing is that the louder the attacks become, the more it feels like we’re getting closer.

⏳ We are close.

🚀 Very close.

💙 Cardano’s time is coming.

[YUTA-Cardano/CPA(DMは全て詐欺) @yutazzz]

I'm changing my vote on "Cardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO Research" to YES.
I had been requesting that this proposal be split. However, with the price decline, this proposal—originally premised on $7.9M—is now worth $5.4M. That is a 31% reduction in USD terms, and there is no buffer left in it.
Realistically speaking, even if the proposal were split and resubmitted now, it would quite likely come back at a higher amount.
I don't like changing my position on a proposal at the last minute, but realistically, under these price conditions, demanding a split is likely no longer logically justifiable.
In addition, many of my delegators have expressed a desire to place trust in IOG.
Going forward, I will try to avoid changing my votes at the last minute as much as possible, but there will be cases like this where I respond flexibly to price movements. I don't believe this significantly contradicts the logic behind my original request for a split—rather, in the current market conditions, the rationale for demanding a split itself has diminished, and doing so could even be counterproductive.

[Jason Appleton (Crypto Crow) @jasonappleton]

A dead chain doesnt have online protestors professing its dead so people will look away. Cardano has competitors, afraid of its 0 hacks, 0 downtime, interoperability with a selective privacy partner chain that mints its own gas with throughput expansions and quantum proofiing coming.

[ajay @1meajay]

which woman don go talk nonsense again?😂😭

[Sssebi🦁 @Sssebi]

To all those spreading lies and FUD about Cardano.

These are all DeFi projects on Cardano and they are all performing extremely well.

Please do some research before spreading lies🫡

crypto is the youngest frontier industry

chains didn't even scale until 2.5y ago and were borderline unusable at high traffic. not anymore

either the industry is over forever, or you're emotional and outsourced your brain to a chart

we get 10x bigger from here

[Buddhist Prodigy @ADAProdigy]

People keep talking about how Cardano is a scam and Charles is a scam but I use the network. I highly value Cardano's security with some of the best dapps in the industry. The chain not only works but its better than most. It has gotten so much better with time and will continue to get better. Cardano won't be going anywhere.

[Umed Saidov, CFA @RealSaidov]

When #Cardano embraced formal verification, everyone and their dog called it “innovation at the pace of academia”

You gotta give credit when it’s due.

In hindsight, this was a genius investment.

cardano:native is built like a tank.
