Good Morning Cardano

Serviceplan Group, the marketing agency who also works for companies like BMW, Netflix, Amazon, etc. has just submitted an official Marketing proposal for the Intersect Budget process.

After 1.5 years of building Masumi & becoming closer & closer to Cardano, they've decided that they want to become Cardanos official Marketing partner.

Some disclaimers first:

1) I am an unpaid advisor to this proposal. Yes, unpaid.

I do not get any money if it wins but I've decided to give some of my time & help Serviceplan with connections into the ecosystem because I believe that professional marketing like this is very much needed in Cardano.

2) This is a joint proposal coming from multiple different agencies from inside the Serviceplan Group. Serviceplan has around 6000+ employees.

The team working on this is a different team than the one working on Masumi.

3) This proposal is not a grant or some speculative investment or so. It's an actual proposal for very specific work package that will be carried out. It's the first time SP has ever done "public pitch" like this, normally they're used to pitching in front of marketing departments of large enterprises. 6 months of work went into drafting this proposal. So please be nice, even when you have criticism. :)

4) Serviceplan is the only entity that I know of from outside of Cardano that has invested a Multi-Million dollar amount into Cardano development in recent years. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say the exact number but let's just say this: If they win this proposal + the Catalyst proposals they've received for Masumi, it will still be less than what they've invested into Cardano so far.

That alone should be reason to take a very serious look at this.

Now about the proposal itself:

The goal of this proposal is to broadly "reposition" Cardano as the Blockchain for serious business.

It's specially built so it captures Leads & distributes them into the ecosystem.

The main pillars that the proposal focuses on are 1) DeFi and 2) Supply Chain.

Now I highly recommend everyone for read through the full proposal, I will put the link to the PDF into the comments.

@IOHK_Charles Perhaps the take down had less to do with the message on BIP 361 and more with the how and the doxxing in the how...? Anyone who uploads on YouTube got to accept the guidelines...or go elsewhere. Simple enough.

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard.

While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented.

Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program.

With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome.

This important:
Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86

Let's go!!!

@MagnusCarlsen Incredible. Grit determination and a cool head! Congratulations on the 20th title!

@VitalikButerin When we think of the real, offline world where bullying and scamming and hate becomes a criminal offence defined by laws for very good reasons, why can we not try to apply these rules to online spaces? Why should extreme behaviour be okay, just because it s happening online?

[Matti Mercury @mattimercury]

@DinaBelenkaya But...he did play the initial moves playing up to this position? So how did this continue?

The silence is deafening

As the days pass with little to no actions, I become more concerned that FIDE will be successful in it's attempt to sweep Danya's passing (and it's cause) under the rug. So far FIDE has made one statement: a call for an internal investigation. The CEO of FIDE has a message accusing Daniel's friends for his death still posted. Kramnik continues to post threats, denials, and accusations.

The silence from far too many of Danya's peers is deafening. I have attempted to reach out to multiple other players to discuss tangible ways to put pressure on FIDE moving forward and the response, in every single case, has been effectively the same "it's pointless unless Magnus joins, FIDE is too strong".

That isn't good enough. We, as a community, MUST do better to honor Danya and to prevent further tragedies. What Kramnik was allowed to do, directly under FIDE's supervision, must have repercussions. A 3rd party investigation must take place. Changes must be made for the future safety of all chess players.

We need players boycotting FIDE events until this investigation takes place and real changes are made. We need sponsors to make it clear they do not want to be associated with an organization that allows systematic failures related to harassment and abuse.

My platform is small and there is only so much I can do, if you see this tag/reach out to GM's, sponsors of upcoming tournaments, and related parties. Let your voice be heard. Let the players know that you will support them standing up to FIDE. We can not let them continue to move forward as if nothing happened.

[Srinath Narayanan @srinathchess]

As I go through my second sleepless night, I continue to process my emotions. I didn’t know Danya closely, but his loss feels deeply personal. Danya was a good person and a valued member of the chess family.

During this time, @akaNemsko, @NihalSarin, @GMHikaru, and many others have voiced what I too have felt — about Kramnik’s persistent cyberbullying.

I call upon @FIDE_chess to act. FIDE has a clear Ethics and Disciplinary Code, and it’s difficult to see how Kramnik’s conduct doesn’t violate multiple points, especially under Article 11(screenshots attached)

It’s too late to help Danya, but many of us continue to fear for players like David Navara and others whose mental health is under direct attack.

If the word ethics truly holds meaning in FIDE’s charter — and if Gens Una Sumus is more than just a slogan — FIDE must act.

I urge fellow members of the chess community who feel the same to join in calling on FIDE to take action.

@DanielRensch @chess24com Thank you for your beautifully written tribute Daniel. You can't please everyone, but you must love and continue to learn to love yourself and those around you who do. Let us all stick together and build a place where our support is stronger to stop negativity in its tracks.

@balajis "Meanwhile, the internet is global equality and uniform rule-of-code"
Statements like this do my head in given how heavily manipulated and rigged the Internet with its algorithms funneled by companies, bots, the loudest, greediest people is. A far cry from "uniform rule-of-code"

[Matti Mercury @mattimercury]

@Justin_Bons Which other L1s or even L2s could be rejigged by their respective leaderships the same way as EGLD? Onchain governance should be core to all chains, otherwise what is the point of blockchain in the first place? #eth #cardano

[Matti Mercury @mattimercury]

@Justin_Bons That s why we have onchain governance on @cardano. Great to see your concerns regarding Egld. A shame. Would be interesting to look back to see if this flawed L1 design could be applied on other chains too by their respective "leaderships"?

@IOHK_Charles Can you @iohk_charles please link your post on the consequences of cheering from when Paul Pelosi was brutally assaulted in his home? 🙏 😊
