van Rossem hard fork update 🍴

The Cardano PreProd testnet has ratified the hard fork action on June 5, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.

This means that PreProd will hard fork to Protocol Version 11 on June 10, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.

Another major milestone on the road to Mainnet!

Great Cardano SPO Call today - Notes for June 4th

1. Van Rossem Hard Fork Preparations
- Things are looking GREEN for the hard fork
- node 11.0.1: SPOs need to upgrade now
- Pre-view cost model has worked, Pre-prod in progress
- Plutus Cost model is on main net: DReps and CC need to vote
- 72% of blocks on main net are now protocol v11
- Ogmios and Kupo are hard fork ready
- Hard fork proposal will go on main net after Pre-prod completes successfully
- Go / No Go in on June 15th

2. Ouroboros Leois
- DevNet is generating a large amount of simulated traffic for testing
- Working on improving the mempool to increase throughput
- @SundaeSwap is helping put transaction load on the DevNet
- High confidence track to deploy Leios to main net eventually, still working on establishing high criteria in security and liveness in preparation for main net.
- Need early involvement from community on TSC, Civics committees etc… alignment for eventual main net. Date TBD.
- Will take some time to get production ready for mainnet as it is a major protocol upgrade.
- Public SPO testnet will launch the last week of June

3. Ensurable Systems Intro @ensurablesys
Kevin Hammond - CEO
Phillip Kant, Tim Richmond, Duncan Couttes on the team

Ouroboros Tachys, STAG Red Team.

4. Mithril - Terragone Factory @TeragoneFactory has been involved from the beginning and is still advancing the Mithril protocol as an IO partner.
Further developing SPO set up for Mithril providing Cardano state.
Working toward availability with IPFS.
Setting up an X space to discuss the future vision of Mithril TPD announced later today.

5. Post Quantum from IOR proposal is part of the IO Research. DReps sure to vote to get this approved.

CIP-50 and other ballots are on Ekklesia:
CIP-163 Time bound delegation discussion
CIP-23 Min margin: setting an initial value
SPO voting with Calidus Keys + DRep voting is in progress.

@Ledger @kurdopia @IntersectMBO Glad to see Ledger submitting these proposals.

[Ledger @Ledger]

We submitted 3 proposals to the @IntersectMBO Cardano 2026 Budget process, covering the work that keeps Cardano solid on Ledger devices:

– Cardano app maintenance
– Clear signing for Cardano's top dApps + Ledger button integration
– Full CIP-113 token standard support

100+ proposals are up for community review right now. If you're a DRep or part of the @Cardano community, we'd value your eyes on ours 👇

Drop your questions in the comments!

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Leios is getting closer.

The first public SPO testnet remains on track for June 2026, and progress this week was significant:
• Treasury funding approved by the Cardano community with 88% support
• CIP-0164 update reduced Leios block certificates from ~8 kB to ~200 bytes — around 40× smaller
• The reference implementation was successfully rebased onto the upcoming Dijkstra era
• Piranha, a new adversarial testing tool, is now live for protocol attack simulation

A lot of deep engineering work is coming together behind the scenes and the first public testnet is getting closer!

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.

People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.

I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.

Obama White House account got hit.

These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.

The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).

Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.

They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.

And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.

Point is even locked down accounts went down.

Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.

You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.

The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.

One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.

Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.

Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

[Token Terminal 📊 @tokenterminal]

🆕🤝 We’re excited to announce our Data Partnership with @Cardano!

Cardano is among the most researched blockchain networks, with 190+ peer-reviewed papers and a live L1 securing a growing onchain economy.

The roadmap includes Leios, post-quantum cryptography, and fast finality.

Full onchain data is now live on Token Terminal. 🧵👇

The Gummiworm specification is now publicly available.

This document outlines the architecture, communication protocols, and wire formats that underpin the project, and serves as a foundation for peer review, technical validation, and future development.

@phil_uplc @RareRandCorp You have my full support.

[pty_1982 @pty_1982]

@joshwoodward hi - is there a reason why Gemini doesn't allow Workspace account admins to set chat history deletion rules? Gemini for Workspace users quickly becomes a mess with tons of chats that can't be deleted. This is a super documented request on forums.

@pogun_io Looking forward to updates from the Pogun team!

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

I've begun a comprehensive governance review of over 11,000 DAOs and a decade of literature in and out of our space to study executive function, roadmap, and strategy setting. The goal will be to propose some ideas to add new features to Cardano's governance via the constitution and new technology that will resolve much of the conflict we are facing.

I'm considering if it is prudent at this point to become a Drep and to host a new mini-convention to get it done in time for the 2027 process. More on this later. #CardanoUnityAndClarity

[Phil 🪏 @phil_uplc]

Please vote 🗳️

[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

[Riley🪏 @ILikeCardano]

If you are a dRep who has not yet voted on the Plutus Core proposal, please take the time to review the proposal and consider voting yes to support further development of Cardano's UPLC smart contract platform.

Time to vote is ending in less than 12 hours!

[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!!!

[Pete | Beware of Scammers @astroboysoup]

📢Calling all Cardano projects: I want to work with you for a month, for free. I'm not charging.

The goal: drive real usage.

Sign-ups, MAU, TVL, downloads, wallet activity, growth.

I have a few in mind, but I want to hear what the community wants.

Looking for:
