15,000 farms are registered on Cardano with satellite-verified land and sustainability records. 🌱

A new case study shows how @SyngentaFndnInd turned fragmented agricultural data into trusted infrastructure that lenders, insurers, and traders can reuse.

Governance requires not only participation, but also a commitment to accept collective decisions. The Cardano community has spoken and we respect the outcome.

Following the outcome of the Treasury proposal votes, the Cardano Foundation's proposed Cardano Summit 2026, will not take place this year. Despite this, we were heartened to see how close the vote came to being passed and how engaged the community was, and have read every bit of feedback left by the DReps who voted. We were also pleased to see that Emurgo’s TOKEN2049 proposal passed. Now, we will review all current commitments and commence winding down Summit execution.

The Foundation remains focused on the current roadmap and vision. We thank the DReps for their engagement throughout this process. Their thorough evaluation, feedback, and participation exemplify the thoughtful engagement that effective governance requires, and this level of governance remains one of the defining strengths of this ecosystem.

We deeply appreciate everyone who contributed to the discussion, and we look forward to continuing our work in service of the Cardano community.

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

One Week. One Cardano.

The community decides the scale.

DRep votes will determine the path of this year's @CardanoSummit.

The Cardano Foundation has revised our proposal and shared the details of how we can make this Summit the best, most impactful yet.

We would love to deliver the 2026 Cardano Summit in Singapore this October and also maximize the Cardano TOKEN2049 presence.

Watch what 2025 looked like, then decide what 2026 becomes.

1. Today, we announce that we will forgo the 15% management fee for TOKEN2049 and refund it back to the treasury.

2. Any future Unified Event Proposal by EMURGO in this budget cycle will also exclude a management fee.

3. This means we are running TOKEN2049 and future unified events at the cheapest possible cost to the treasury.

Plastic recovery has a transparency problem. ♻️

@Plastiks_io is solving it with verified data on Cardano, and Armenia and El Salvador are already piloting it.

$1.7 trillion asset manager T. Rowe Price published the weight index of their crypto ETF yesterday and Cardano is obviously represented. Here is a link to the prospect https://t.co/AiOB29Khbo and a screen shot of the distribution. This is for me distribution to the people who is yet to discover the raw beauty of the blockchain and it is a about asset eligibility.

We ran an experiment on 2 UTXO chains, the results were incredible 👇

We’ve rewarded 50 Bitcoin users with $wDOG on Cardano.

Bitcoin users received a Bitcoin-native asset ($DOG on Bitcoin and $wDOG on Cardano) and used it without ever creating a Cardano wallet.

They could move it, swap it, sell it, or use it through Smart Accounts while only using their Bitcoin wallet.

This was a small test, but it showed something much bigger: interoperability gets real when users stop thinking about chains, wallets and fees, and simply use the assets they already have.

The vision is clear:

Bifrost brings Bitcoin assets to Cardano.
Smart Accounts remove the wallet barrier.
Babel Fees remove the fee barrier.

[Cardano Foundation @Cardano_CF]

Following community feedback, we have submitted a revised @CardanoSummit proposal with reduced costs and retained quality. Key changes to note:

• This proposal is decoupled from EMURGO’s TOKEN2049 sponsorship proposal.
• Budget is reduced by 22% or $550,000 while retaining the tier-one experience to showcase an L1 blockchain like Cardano.
• Achieved through reduction from three stages to two which lowers production, tech and onsite logistics costs.
• Increased the Cardano Foundation’s estimated internal resource contributions to $380,000 from $250,000 to reduce external vendor costs.

This leaner proposal remains focused on delivering impact and growth for Cardano and its builders, with full KPI transparency.

If passed, Cardano Summit 2026 will take place 5-6 October in Singapore. Strategically timed alongside TOKEN2049, we will position Cardano and its builders at the center of the world’s most active institutional and blockchain hub with 25,000 people expected in town.

All this at a moment when Cardano’s large technical and commercial integrations have reached a pivotal moment for mainstream finance.

Discounted tickets for the event will be available for community members based on their on-chain activity, as last year.

The community's input has directly shaped this proposal. We look forward to continuing the conversation in two separate AMAs today. Links in the thread below.
