🚨 The second edition of the DRep Double-Espresso Dispatch just dropped! Catch up on 3 key X Spaces from @IntersectMBO, @Cardano_CF, @cryptstitution & @Amaru_Cardano.
Get the scoop on @emurgo_io, @phillip_pon, and CF's DRep delegation strategies. Plus — @EzeEsther_ and I made an infographic breaking down the budget vote rationales.
🗳️ Brewed especially for DReps:

📢Upcoming space: @PHOTREK_LLC team will be sharing last updates on the "DRep AI Agent" and gathering community feedback on @Cardano DReps needs and priorities
🗓️ Wednesday 26th, March

Don't miss your chance on shaping Cardano's Decentralized Governance 🎙️
While we were originally sponsored by @PHOTREK_LLC, we are now an independent entity with our own governance✨
Follow us to see how a community DRep can truly govern itself! 👊🏻
@Cryptofly777 I want to vote NO and then I’m gonna delegate to @lalkul_drep 😂 and my understanding is Lalkul is part of @PHOTREK_LLC which is an LLC so has limited liability 🤷♂️
🚨 Big News! 🚨
Lalkul kicks off 2025 with a fresh new look, thanks to the talented @wada_org Branding Team! 🎨✨
Our rebrand reflects our vision for inclusive governance & innovation in #cardano. Full story coming soon-stay tuned! 🌍
🎉Plomin Hard Fork’s going live, @Cardano entered into a new governance era where information and efficiency will be two key cornerstones.
Photrek introduces the “DRep AI-Powered Agent” project to enhance and reinforce DReps decision-making processes 👇

7/8 Plutus Updates: New cryptographic primitives & cost model adjustments align Plutus with evolving needs while safeguarding existing contracts. 📜
4/8 Inclusion: This hard fork enables DReps to fully engage in governance, including treasury withdrawals & staking reward policies (per CIP-1694). It’s a milestone for Cardano democracy. ⚖️
3/8 After careful review and community engagement, we’re confident Cardano’s ecosystem is ready. Tools, liquidity, and project awareness were assessed via GitHub, readiness sites, community sentiment, and @IntersectMBO discussions to ensure stability and a smooth transition.🌱
Plomin Hard Fork Protocol Version 10: A Lalkul DRep Perspective 🗳️
Although DReps were not part of this vote, Lalkul supports the community’s decision (voted by SPOs and Constitutional Committee) to move forward with the Plomin Hardfork. Some insight🧵
2/8 Participation Matters: While this vote targets ICC & SPO members, it reflects Lalkul’s decision-by-consent approach, emphasizing our dedication to Cardano governance.
@KenricNelson@ADAFrog_Pool This also makes a great case for a team based DRep model that takes all these factors into account and lays out the best decision on the consent of the group. Like @lalkul_drep
@InputOutputHK@Catalyst_onX@lalkul_drep By organizing the @lalkul_drep into peer-to-peer circles with clear roles and responsibilities, the sociocratic model offers a pathway for more democratic participation in governance while ensuring that decisions reflect the diverse needs and priorities of the Cardano community
With exciting updates on #Cardano-1M TPS, the constitutional convention in Buenos Aires-let’s not forget the vital role #dreps play. We’re committed to representing the community’s voice. Join our journey & delegate here: https://t.co/vLMfyIv8rQ #ADAforAll
The L∀LKUL DRep was launched as part of @PHOTREK_LLC Catalyst F11 project on Sociocratic DReps. In their 4th Qrt newsletter Dr. Nelson describes the broader scope of governance R&D Photrek is working on for #Cardano and #SingularityNET.

Thanks for bringing this to front of the line Caleb, I share your concerns.
I'm part of a team developing an AI powered DRep Agent on Cardano. The F12 proposal is funded, presently wrapping up Milestone 1, https://t.co/JoT2oQqdwQ
The AI agent is built upon decentralization principles and is designed to assist with team-based decision making around governance proposals/actions. Assistance comes in the form of the AI agent digesting CIPS, Cardano Constitution, Community Feedback, Cost Efficiency, etc. and offering useful outputs to the decision making process. At it's fullest maturity, the AI Agent will have full DRep circle member level input.
This project also overlaps with our @lalkul_drep initiative, specifically:
L∀LKUL DRep introduces a team-managed approach to delegated representation, using sociocratic principles to ensure inclusive, transparent, and efficient decision-making. By organizing the L∀LKUL DRep into peer-to-peer circles with clear roles and responsibilities, the model offers a pathway for more democratic participation in governance while ensuring that decisions reflect the diverse needs and priorities of the Cardano community.
We believe the LALKUL DRep brings a much needed model to the DRep governance model, particularly around broad skill requirements needed for such a large ecosystem together with optimizations for time efficiency.
I hope this helps you understand these initiatives. Happy to elaborate more. Thanks again for the great question!
