@MattJR63 This is an insane statement and exactly the problem.
They’re 10x overstaffed and they fight viciously, politically and unfairly.

Hey Cardano!
If you run a Cardano node, especially in the cloud, give the LSM backend a try.
Memory footprint down from 15.9 GB to just 5.5 GB.
Mainnet, fully synced.
Same tip, a fraction of the RAM bill.
It’s 2026 and the Founding entities of $ADA are making a discord server.
Honestly could be the most bearish thing i’ve ever heard.
Deep down I still really want to believe in cardano but holy shit is it a fucking hard effort.
We have quite literally used Cardano's Treasury to cover salary payments for years-old businesses that are not profitable.
In NO real-world business scenario would that fly.
It's reckless and dangerous spending.
If we want to create more sustainable spending conditions, that is one practice that must end yesterday.
Holy moly this thing did numbers
You think X messaging doesn’t matter? You can go to discord, you can go to WhatsApp, you can hide in a cave. None of that will matter unless you fix the external perception of Cardano at this point.
Hope you realize the more you fail to take control of the narrative and the people you are continually letting down, the worse and worse the narrative is going to be.
Saw holders reaching out I never even knew existed sharing similar sentiment.
Keep thinking the move is not listening to us…
Ethereum May Add Built In Private Transfers
Ethereum $ETH privacy proposal EIP 8182 has been formally proposed for inclusion in the upcoming Hegotá hard fork.
The proposal would introduce optional native privacy transfers directly at the Ethereum protocol layer.
It now enters the review process for approval by Ethereum core developers.
Discord groups have existed in this ecosystem for years.
In practice, they have often functioned less like public forums and more like caves: small groups talking among themselves, with decisions and narratives forming in isolation.
I think it is delusional to believe that people will simply change their social behavior, stop discussing things on X, and suddenly start organizing meaningful public debate inside specific Discord channels.
Cardano has hundreds of peer-reviewed papers, yet somehow basic concepts like network effects still seem to be ignored when convenient.
We have already had several attempts to create “proper” channels for discussion. The Cardano Forum has existed for years and is barely used by most of the community. At times, it feels less like a civic space and more like a graveyard of abandoned conversations.
Catalyst and Intersect Discord servers have also existed for years. They may be useful for coordination, but if the goal is to create an echo chamber where the same people talk to the same people, then yes, Discord is probably the perfect venue.
The issue is not that X is healthy. It obviously is not.
The issue is pretending that moving conversations into more controlled spaces automatically creates better discourse, broader legitimacy, or a more representative community.
It does not.
It mostly creates quieter rooms.
And in an ecosystem that claims to care about decentralization, public accountability, and open governance, confusing silence with alignment is a dangerous mistake.
The level of disconnection from reality in this ecosystem keeps growing.
Update on the L2 progress for y'all. We've pushed ahead with developing on top of @midgardprotocol and have an internal L2 deployment running.
Highest TPS (so far) = 800. We expect to be able to push that much higher as we harden & optimize.
Just so people appreciate the scale here: this appears to be a Bombardier Global 7500, one of the most expensive business jets in the world, with a new purchase price around $75–80 million.
This isn't chartering a flight once in a while. This is owning a flying headquarters.
If this aircraft is owned by Charles Hoskinson's for-profit company, it's fair to ask why a company would choose to spend that kind of money and what the economics look like. For most businesses, the tax treatment and depreciation benefits are a major part of the equation.
This proposal is THE ONE
If we don't support THIS PROPOSAL, Cardano is NGMI.
You should consider supporting THIS PROPOSAL, they know what they're doing!
THIS PROPOSAL is exactly what we need!!!!!
So many people claim to have the fix but somehow it always involves needing Treasury funds 🫠
A different, perhaps more respectable approach would be to come to the table with verifiable, measurable results and THEN ask for support from the Treasury.
Then we're rewarding results vs. promises.
Not saying its a perfect science, but, we've been funding IDEAS and OPTIMISM for years...and look where we are today 👀
@BrockCardano@adamKDean@earncoinpool@TheVirtualFlame Binance, with their whopping 74 (seventy-four) pledge recently stopped producing blocks in all 49 of their pools for a whole month.
And nobody even noticed until someone from our incentives working group sounded the alarm.
🚨 Attention Cardano 🚨
We’ll be submitting our treasury proposal onchain within the next 24 hours.
This gives the Cardano treasury sustainable yield while providing one of the ecosystem’s leading protocols with the necessary liquidity to compete on a global stage.
Why this matters:
- Perpetual futures account for roughly 75% of on-chain trading activity across crypto.
- We’ve done over $1 billion in trading volume and paid out more than $3M to liquidity providers
- We believe we’ve demonstrated strong product market fit and a proven ability to generate activity
Additional liquidity would give us:
- deeper markets
- better executing and tighter spreads
- greater capacity for users
- the ability for a Cardano product to compete more effectively in one of the industry’s largest sectors
We believe growing treasury capital while supporting our largest protocols should be a key priority as Cardano focuses on growth and long-term sustainability.

Confidential transfers are live in public beta on Sui Devnet.
Transfer amounts and balances are private, with controlled visibility for compliance and auditability.
What this means for finance workflows: 🧵
A May '25 tweet claims @IOHK_Charles sold ~1.5B ADA in the '21 hype cycle, plus 10x 20M payments to @gavofyork.
Rather than take its word, i wanted to check the chain.
Tracing funds is hard, but those x10 20M payments are a solid place to start:
