CARDANO: Programmable tokens are now live on $ADA mainnet. 🔥
Issuers can control who holds, transfers and receives their tokens, which is perfect for stablecoins, funds and bonds.
Cardano is ready for tokenization.
JUST IN: Charles Hoskinson on Adam Back advising Ethereum to use UTXO in 2014, says "I did take your advice. We created EUTXO—you guys built Simplicity and Liquid." Did Ethereum already follow Cardano $ADA with Proof of Stake in 2022, and now again with UTXOs and formal methods?
🇸🇬 TOKEN2049: Charles Hoskinson says smart contracts are "pretty dumb" and pitches their successor, the "Night Frame," which combines zero-knowledge proofs, MPC and trusted execution on Midnight.
A major traditional finance signal just hit Cardano. 👀
T. Rowe Price added $ADA to an active U.S. crypto ETF, sending the token up 11% to $0.273.
It marks the first confirmed traditional finance allocation to $ADA, putting it alongside BTC and ETH in a registered U.S. fund.
Now I’m watching to see if institutional demand and on-chain activity can keep the momentum going.
NEW: Brazil's state oil giant @Petrobras tests @Cardano blockchain to track green fuel certificates, using $ADA to prevent double-counting of sustainable aviation fuel credits and trace renewable diesel through its supply chain.
I barely see anyone posting about this:
Cardano DeFi TVL: $65.33M
Cardano Stablecoin Market Cap: $64.53M
Stablecoin market cap is now almost surpassing TVL, just like on more mature ecosystems.
So where are all the people who kept saying Cardano DeFi wasn’t growing?
If it’s “not happening,” why is the liquidity clearly showing up?
Real growth, not bots. Real capital, not bots and real silence from the critics. cardano:native
Cardano governance can now govern the dApps built on Cardano.
We just proved something believed to be impossible.
A dApp can tie a smart-contract upgrade or parameter change to a Cardano L1 governance proposal. If that proposal passes and is enacted, the smart contract can verify the result on-chain and unlock exactly what was approved.
The authority can come from Cardano itself not a project admin key, multisig, or trusted oracle.
This opens a new path to decentralized dApp governance:
→ smart-contract upgrades
→ changing dApp parameters
→ treasury actions
→ emergency controls
Cardano governance can now become the authority behind how dApps evolve.
I first presented this design at UPLCfest in “Pushing the Limits of UPLC: Everything is Possible” a keynote about achieving things in Cardano’s execution layer that were considered impossible. It's really satisfying to see this finally validated.
We're excited to announce that we're expanding ChatterPay into the Cardano ecosystem.
Now +2B people can send ADA, USDCx, USDM, USDA directly on WhatsApp. No new apps.
Just send a voice or text message, and that's it.
The easiest way to onboard new people into Cardano!
We’re excited to share a major update with our community.
@realfi_co is coming to Cardano Mainnet on October 1st.
That’s right – get ready, make some noise.
Thanks to you all, we have a great base to build on. We got here because of you.
To date, more than 3,600 users, completing over 40,000 quest actions, took part in the Pioneer Season* – with the public Testnet giving us exactly what a testnet should: Real usage, real comments, and a clear list of what to work on before launch. Thank you.
Importantly, the Pioneer Season will continue until Mainnet; this decision is deliberate and not the result of any major issue or setback: We’re taking the additional time to assess what we’ve learned, incorporate community feedback, and ensure our full-blown launch receives the attention, preparation, and polish it deserves.
Our goal is simple: To make the transition to Mainnet as strong, smooth, and successful as possible.
We will share further launch week details, including what changes for our Pioneers at Mainnet, as October approaches.
We are only getting started,
The RealFi Team
1/4 In an internet flooded with AI content, proof that something was actually created by humans could become valuable itself.
@iamwill has an interesting idea for this: “.pol” — Proof of Life.
And it immediately made me think of #Cardano. 🧵👇
