Markets go up.

Markets go down.

But the work has to continue.

We need to build.

We need to solve problems.

We need to support builders.

We need to bring new users into the ecosystem.

And for that, we need to continue delivering the message.

Because adoption doesn’t happen overnight.

People discover.

People learn.

People observe.

And when they’re finally ready to explore blockchain, Cardano needs to be one of the ecosystems they remember.

That’s why we don’t stop.

The @Explore_Cardano campaign has surpassed 50 million impressions.

That means that over the past few months, more than 50 million people have been exposed to a simple message:

Cardano is at the forefront of technology and innovation.

It has live products ready to be explored today across finance, AI, art, media, entertainment, gaming, social and governance systems, and much more.

And it is secure, decentralized, and built to last.

But the work cannot end with the message.

As an ecosystem, we must continue to demonstrate that we are what we say we are.

Trust is built through consistency.

Confidence is built through repeated exposure to the message and real-world experiences.

Thank you to everyone who helped amplify this campaign.

Thank you to the @Catalyst_onX voters and team for their support and for providing the resources to bring this project to life.

Thank you to the more than 300 community members who participated in our promotional challenges.

Special thanks to the creators who contributed their talents:
@LaPetiteADA
@astroboysoup
@LGC_Josh

Thank you to @Cardano for helping amplify the creatives.

And, of course, thank you to the team behind the scenes:
Nat, Ale, Mad, and AdaLink.

This campaign was not the work of a large organization with an unlimited budget.

It was the work of a small team of professionals who believe in Cardano and bring decades of experience in marketing and media production.

50 million impressions is not the finish line.

It is the beginning of a conversation.

Awareness creates opportunity, but trust is built through consistency.

As an ecosystem, we must continue showing up, shipping products, supporting builders, and delivering real value.

The message only matters if we continue proving it true.

We’ll continue doing our part to amplify, promote, and showcase everything Cardano has to offer. 🤝

¡Seguimos! 🚀

Calling all DReps! Vote yes on https://t.co/MrFZQqC1lf

This one is free (it's a parameter change, not a treasury withdrawal), and it prepares us for the future once the HF proposal hits later this month.

[Lido Nation @LidoNation]

yes, yes we did a thing! https://t.co/DCG0mqk7Tp

Still the only place on the internet to read the original CIP without clicking: https://t.co/F94qjGAnnL

We went for a pool pm style timeline. We were the first to let you register as a drep without knowing what github or ipfs is with your full metada.

We couldn't crack the delegator only soft polling feature. But we're still building.

Pushing commits monthly, if not weekly: https://t.co/CXM7XMaXse

Will be revisiting the soft polling thing and maybe looking to bring your polls from other platform.

Happy for more feedback. Big thanks to the likes of @Jennycitalinda , @BeatriceAnihiri @UnpopularEL for the at times brutal feedbacks so far. #building together through the #bear 🦾🦾🦾

ICYMI: Standardizing DApp interaction on Cardano.

In the 32nd Developer Office Hours, Santiago Carmuega (TXPipe) and Darlisa Consoni (Cardano Foundation) explored TX3 — a new declarative DSL built to abstract the complexities of the UTxO ledger. 🧵👇

[Samuel Leathers @therealdisasm]

Attention SPOs!!! We need you to update to 11.0.1. It has better performance, is hard fork ready and reduces chances of forks from larger blocks! Let's go folks! While there's still downstream tooling integrating, none of that affects block producers. Thanks all!!!

[Cardano Community @Cardano]

Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs) are how developers improve fundamental technologies and conventions on Cardano, just like BIPs for Bitcoin and EIPs for Ethereum. Open source, community-reviewed, and open to anyone with the knowledge and interest to contribute.

The votes are still coming in and we're down to the wire! Your vote could be the one to put the Dev Experience proposal over the line 💪

Africa isn’t waiting for the future we’re building it now. 🚀
Loved seeing how CATS26 highlighted African innovation, blockchain adoption, and real community impact. 🌍
