I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.
Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.
Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.
Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.
Love you all! ❤️
After talking with @F_Gregaard at PBW 2026…
I don’t think most people understand what Cardano is really building yet.
And honestly, that’s probably the opportunity!

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!
