You will not hear any mention of #ADA price on this account. No BS, No FUD on other projects, No platitudes, No cringeworthy self promotions. I am here because I believe in the mission of #Cardano to move humanity forward and wanted to be a cog in the wheel.

Why Cardano is the only Ecosystem that can run the world https://t.co/tJd2sAvqjy

[Phillip Pon @phillip_pon]

REPOST but to Cardano:

Dear @Cardano, we have been in deep discussion with
@IOHK_Charles and how recent price declines will impact their budgeting needs / ability to deliver on IO proposals. Combine that with my sincere belief that we do require more structured leadership (in conjunction with constructive community involvement);

@emurgo_io will shift to a "Yes" vote for IOR. We are at an existential moment for @Cardano where actions we take now will reverberate through our ecosystem. Also make no mistake, that every chain, is facing the same decision.

EMURGO believes the following: 1. Leadership: At this time, I believe need an executive function that is led by Charles @IOHK_Charles, Fred @F_Gregaard and myself
@phillip_pon alongside Jack @JBriggsLondon
at Intersect. The community will and must be involved.

2. Infrastructure: We need to fund infrastructure and
@IOGroup and some specific protocols / projects remain best positioned to ensure core needs are met.
@Cardano_CF also does work on these matters, alongside @IntersectMBO. @emurgo_io
maintains libraries that are used by nearly all Cardano projects.

3. Commercial: Investments must also be prioritised but we must also accept that most will fail. It is the nature of early stage investment but we must try to create a thriving ecosystem that embraces a multi-chain future. Strike offers other chains too. @LayerZero_Core
is essential to this strategy as are @circle, @PythNetwork , @DuneAnaIytics and
@FireblocksHQ.

4. Marketing & Branding: Web3 is fighting for attention in the age of AI. @Cardano has a unique opportunity to rise above the fray alongside @MidnightNtwrk @F_ZK_Now. Having said that, I am not a proponent of parties, happy hours, or 'free drinks'. Marketing & Branding are serious efforts that need to be led by serious people. I was recently at a dinner with a VC, Regulator, Market Maker, and prominent project where more was done to advance Cardano's relevance than a glad handing party of the usual faces.
@emurgo_io will support serious Marketing and Branding efforts.

There is a lot more I want to say but I want to call upon all DRep to vote "Yes" to the IOR proposal and for those who have abstained or voted "No" to reconsider.

Price has changed, therefore, the value & importance of the proposal has increased.

What I'll miss the most about Daedalus is that amazing logo. Whoever came up with that is a creative genius.

[Andrew Westberg @amw7]

Community gets to decide the fate of Daedalus. I'm one of the new maintainers. If you choose to keep it going, I'll be grateful. If not, that's ok too. We can still be friends and celebrate it with nostalgia.

I don't know if you saw my post from earlier today that mentioned Perdix wallet for Midnight. Here's a little bit of the Lore and how it ties back to Daedalus. Enjoy.

[Phillip Pon @phillip_pon]

In difficult times we need to stick together. Focus on the mission and ignore the haters. What we’re learning is that while there are many benefits of a decentralized system; an executive function to set the parameters is needed especially in an industry sector that has not fully matured.

We welcome conversations with @IOHK_Charles @F_Gregaard @JBriggsLondon to perhaps revisit our current governance. I believe there is a place for the community, DReps and CCs but perhaps more focused in our asks or better incentivised. We have or will be reaching out to the FEs and Intersect to find a way forward.

And in all the doom and gloom; we do have some positive announcements in the pipeline for Cardano. Stay tuned.

[Daniel Friedman ₳Σ 🇺🇸🇯🇵⛩️ @DanielTetsuyama]

I keep seeing posts saying that Cardano needs a leader.

To some extent, I understand the feeling. Right now there is a lot of distraction in the ecosystem. People are constantly arguing over governance, the treasury, price action, personal beefs, and everything else. But I do not think the problem is a complete vacuum of leadership.

In reality, WE ALREADY HAVE LEADERS. You know who they are.

Some people want Charles to be the central leader of Cardano again like he was years ago. But if we truly want a decentralized system, we cannot still rely on one person to tell everyone what to do and expect them to magically solve our problems.

The truth is that leadership in Cardano is already distributed across the ecosystem. The real question is how much ownership people are willing to take.

Alex Chepurnoy said this directly about Ergo. He said to take as much ownership of Ergo as possible.

I think each of us needs to do the same for Cardano. Take as much ownership and responsibility as possible.

MOKSH is now on 11.0.1 🚀🚀

[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!!!

[MOKSH Stake Pool (Single Pool Operator) & DRep @MokshPool]

True leader 👏 Thank you Charles!!

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

[Everstake @everstake_pool]

Cardano has proven itself as one of the most resilient and well-designed blockchain ecosystems in the industry.

A focus on decentralization, stability, and long-term development continues to define its trajectory.

We’re excited and proud to support @Cardano and everything being built around it. This is only the beginning!

Big thanks to @Cardanians_io for the awesome video!

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]

ICYMI: @IOHK_Charles shares how Midnight will accomplish what the first three generations of blockchain couldn’t: privacy that works, identity that scales, and cooperation that accelerates adoption.

Hi @Cardano and @MidnightNtwrk

In my years in crypto, I’ve not seen another founder like @IOHK_Charles who has worked so tirelessly for the success of the projects that they have founded and built. It is imperative that we come together and recognise that we do not have a right to remain in the top10 (or higher). @MidnightNtwrk completes a missing and essential core primitive that was built as a partner chain to @Cardano in mind.

I understand that we are all feeling the pain of another crypto winter and it’s difficult to bear. But like all winters, it will end.

However, we will only emerge stronger if we put aside old grievances (that sincerely distract us from moving forward) and show institutions (who are deciding which L1s to adopt) that we have a strong and committed community.

We are not only stronger together (@Cardano x @MidnightNtwrk); but we are more relevant.

[MOKSH Stake Pool (Single Pool Operator) & DRep @MokshPool]

Awesome!!

[Phillip Pon @phillip_pon]

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!!!

We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet.

This means native BTC was traded for native ADA.

0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA

Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙

Xmas is in the air!🎄

📢But SPOs and DReps, before you start knocking back the egg nog - there are some important governance actions that still need your vote🎅

Including this one. To avoid delay, vote today!

SPOs: Please RT and tag your fellow favourite validators!

[MOKSH Stake Pool (Single Pool Operator) & DRep @MokshPool]

MOKSH has voted 'yes'!

[Ben 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇯🇵 @benohanlon]

GM SPOs – quick nudge to vote. Community momentum is behind upgrades like the integrations budget, but none of it moves until the Constitutional Committee is restored. Approving the new CC member gets Cardano unstuck.

Milestone moment: NIGHT is now live. 🕛

With today’s launch of NIGHT as a Cardano Native Asset (CNA), we’re officially kicking off the countdown to redemptions for the more than 4.5B tokens claimed during the Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases.

This marks the first step in bringing NIGHT to the community as we continue progressing toward a fully decentralized Midnight mainnet.

Redemption windows will open in phases (“thaws”). The redemption portal will launch shortly beforehand to allow people to preview their allocations and thawing schedules ahead of time.

What is fascinating about yesterday's event is how Cardano recovered from a minority chain and got rid of the symptom while preserving most of the history and progress since the incident.
