Not sure why I am picking on this one, but that's a good opportunity to give a fair shot at: what has @Cardano_CF done in the past 12 months (give or take)? So, in no particular order: *inhale* - Organised the Cardano Summit 2025 in Berlin attended by ~1000 Cardano enthusiasts (and even more online). - Timely voted on every single governance proposals with clear rationale. - Sponsored the third Buidler Fest in Buenos Aires, with 10 builders from CF attending, 5 of which gave talks or organized discussions. - Continued improving and providing free access to a governance voting tool (voting.cardanofoundation.org) for all DReps and CC members alike. - Revamped, restructured and completed the developers portal (developers.cardano.org) to reduce barrier to entry for newcomers. - Assisted IOG and SPOs during the November incident, providing network monitoring data and tools instrumental to the recovery. - Sponsored and facilitated access to Antithesis (antithesis.com) an advanced platform for system-wide property-based testing. - Minted $1,000,000 USDA to support DeFi liquidity on Cardano. - Organised and hosted ~25 roundtables (youtube.com/watch?v=BQI_Je…) and ~4 SPO roundtables (youtube.com/watch?v=9IjDL4…) with community members to talk and debate about Cardano's burning topics. - Released the Veridian identity wallet into Android and iOS app stores. - Conducted the 4th annual Cardano Developer Ecosystem Survey (cardano-foundation.github.io/state-of-the-d…) compiling useful insights from a large sample of Cardano developers. - Developed and curated Cardano Events (cardano.org/events/) to make Cardano events more easily discoverable. - Actively participated in most Intersect committees, following community elections, such as: the Intersect Steering Committee, the Civics Committee, the Product Committee, the Technical Steering Committee, the Open Source Committee, the Budget Committee and the Growth and Marketing Committee. - Launched the Cardano Venture Hub (cardanofoundation.org/en/academy/ven…), with the first cohort going through an acceleration program *right now*. - Worked with DFX & BrickTowers to integrate ADA as a payment solution (cardanofoundation.org/blog/ada-accep…) in supermarket PoS. - Developed and deployed the necessary off-chain infrastructure for programmable tokens (CIP-113) while contributing to evolution of the underlying sub-standards (cardanofoundation.org/blog/programma…). - Continued the work on the IBC bridge (github.com/cardano-founda…) to connect Cardano to the Cosmos ecosystem (and to any IBC-compatible chain really). - Maintained and further developed a variety of Open Source projects, such as (but not limited to): Aiken, Yaci (store and devkit), Ogmios, Kupo, cardano-wallet, cardano-addresses, elm-cardano, Originate, Rosetta, - Published 'I Can Aiken' book on book.io (book.io/book/i-can-aik…), a complete/end-to-end course on Aiken. - Recorded various episodes of the 'Let's Talk Cardano' podcast (open.spotify.com/show/6bLMheFsI…). - Published 9 case studies (cardanofoundation.org/case-studies) of businesses integrating with Cardano. - Answered and defended Cardano to various regulators and institutions such as the SEC Crypto Task Force, the European Data Protection Board or the Financial Conduct Authority on the regulation of crypto-asset activities. - Initiated and supported the development of Konduit: an open source, trustless L2 protocol that connects Cardano and the Bitcoin Lightning network. (konduit.channel) - Attended crypto and blockchain events all along the year to ensure Cardano presence everywhere: Rare Evo, Paris Blockchain Week, Women-in-Tech summit, Azteca 2025, Blockchain Rio, Buidler Fest 2026, JCon, Digital Assets Forum, Teamz summit, ... - Supported the development of Amaru, an alternative Cardano node, by allocating 2 engineers to the project, improving Cardano's resilience and decentralisation. - Published a full financial report of the foundation's accounting directly on Cardano, while providing the tool and methodology to do so entirely as open source (cardano.org/news/2025-07-0…) - Assisted hundreds of exchanges in their Cardano onboarding or upgrades, especially when the network gets a little bumpy. - Kept running Cardano bootstrapping relays still (unfortunately) necessary to ensure Cardano's dynamic availability until the complete roll-out of Ouroboros Genesis. - Welcomed and on-boarded various Cardano ambassadors to the ambassador program. - Worked alongside IOG, EMURGO, Intersect and the Midnight Foundation as *the Pentad* to integrate top industry actors with the Cardano ecosystem such as: USDCx, Pyth or Layer 0. - Exposed ten of thousands of blockchain enthusiasts to Cardano through the Binance Academy course on fundamentals (binance.com/en/academy/tra…) - Helped hundred of builders get started or unstuck on Cardano through the various community channels (X, discord, Github, Reddit, ...) - Contributed and helped getting to "last check" three important CIPs such as CIP-0113 (Programmable token-like assets), CIP-0170 (KERI-backed metadata attestations) or CIP-0171 (On-chain Smart Contract Bytecode Verification). And... I'll stop here knowing very well I am forgetting many things (my apologies to the efforts I forgot), there's just too much.

Get this out to every Cardano dApp builder.

Midnight is live, and so is midnight.fun, and it's worth understanding what it actually is: - Explore live dapps and games - Track what's being built as the ecosystem expands - This is where you can start to experience privacy built directly into apps This is the first wave, not the full picture; more are coming. Explore what's already live: midnight.fun

Don’t sleep on this 1 node today Multi-client future loading… Not live yet, but this is where real resilience begins. 👇

@AdaBrooksie SOL 2018?

Cardano needs to stop spending so much and invest only in things that produce a return. Hook up with a pension fund for advice.

@CardanoG1 SOL didn't exist in 2018

This is pure manipulation and data cherry-picking, designed specifically to make Cardano look bad. Bitcoin NOV 2021 = 67700 USD MAR 2026 = 67700 USD Ethereum FEB 2021 = 2040 USD MAR 2026 = 2040 USD x.com/AdaBrooksie/st…

🔥HOSKINSON: CRYPTO HAS BEEN SOLVING THE WRONG PROBLEMS Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says crypto failed to break into the real-world economy and points to his $200M privacy-focused project Midnight that went live today, as the solution.

@CryptoWatcherOG @midnightfdn @MidnightNtwrk That’s an entry you may regret later.

@midnightfdn @MidnightNtwrk Congratulations

Midnight is live 🥳 Today marks the launch of the @MidnightNtwrk, a defining step forward in blockchain infrastructure and the realization of a fourth-generation architecture. Rather than forcing a trade-off between transparency and privacy, Midnight allows both to coexist. Developers can build applications where user data remains private, while key conditions can still be proven on-chain, unlocking entirely new design space across financial products, identity systems, and decentralized applications. Welcome to privacy by default, and disclosure by choice. Read the full announcement, including details on the network’s phased rollout designed to ensure stability, security, and long-term resilience as the ecosystem expands: x.com/MidnightNtwrk/…

@cryptorover Same guy who was promoting FTX?

💥BREAKING: Kevin O’Leary says Bitcoin and Ethereum capture 98% of crypto. Calls the rest of crypto “poo poo.”

🔖 NEW ARTICLE The walls between Cardano and Bitcoin are slowly coming down. This month two teams shared meaningful updates on connecting the blockchains together. Read about the Progress on Cardano-Bitcoin Interoperability in this article 👇 cexplorer.io/article/progre…

I disagree. It’s clear we have insufficient controls and are exposed to unnecessary risk. Taking a position of voting everything down if the submission is substandard will put more pressure on those seeking funds for clarity and creates a high standard with more transparency. If #Cardano is to improve in its development quicker, it needs to update its internal controls. Do it once, do it right.

@WylanCoffman Mastery of governance is the ability to distinguish between the necessary and the unnecessary. Voting NO to everything is an oversimplification that can only bring about the collapse of the ecosystem.

If you are a Cardano DRep, I highly suggest we take a break from funding BULLSHIT!

We are actively working on integrating Cardano into Fireblocks. The integration has been ready & publicly accessible since 3 weeks ago. It is open source. We are further optimizing the integration and looking forward to showcasing a demo video for you. You can check the link below: github.com/fireblocks/car…

Gosh, so much negativity in the Cardano timeline. Let’s clear the air here: Coinmarket rankings don’t matter. Not anymore. This is due to: 1. If you look at the top whatever, 2 of them are stables, and 4 are fake, centralized chains where the numbers are manipulated. Remove these and $ADA ‘s pretty much in the top 10. 2. If you’re worried retail won’t see Cardano because it’s not top 10, take note: retail is no longer relevant. Mcaps are too high for retail to ever leave a mark. 3. Institutions are now the name of the game. The ones with approriate capital do not look at rankings to decide. They’re not idiots. Instead, the metrics that matter are: 1. Look at the tech and its development. Cardano’s still undergoing scaling? Good. Governance, while annoying, is still pretty much working? We’re on the right track. 2. Government legislation is still underway to give clarity to all this. Soon you’ll find there will be 2 lists in coinmarketcap, one for securities and one for proper decentralized commodities. 3. Cardano still attracting devs and institutions? This one honestly is a bit weak at the moment. Thankfully, Midnight’s attracting the right attention, which has a halo effect to Cardano given it’s a CNT. 4. Are the Cardano ecosystem projects still going? Yup, at least the top ones are still humming alongz $SNEK $IAG $FLUID $SURF $STRIKE and many more are still building. Don’t bother with the rankings, they don’t matter anymore.

Change your mindset to better understand what you see. The tech is undervalued and it’s not priced in. Once other L2s like Midnight build on it… People need to be patient and play the long game with #Cardano Its still in its infancy, but the technical foundation as it is today is solid; it will naturally evolve over many years.

I was here the first time Cardano fell below the Top 10. It came back roaring. Before it dropped below again. The good thing is that crypto is very forgiving. The bad thing is that time is running out.

Something you see a lot in this industry is foundations handling everything from protocol development all the way to building end-user products and marketing them. This is especially common with Cosmos SDK-based chains and general-purpose L2s. The most ideal structure in this market is one where the foundation focuses solely on the protocol, and builders focus on products built on top of it. But achieving this kind of ecosystem is extremely difficult. It's really hard to attract builders who voluntarily build products and participate, and it's even harder to create a market where those builder-made products can actually survive and thrive. So when a foundation is doing everything from protocol development to shipping end-user products, that's not something to brag about. It means they're in a difficult position where they have no other choice. And the moment the foundation stops, the ecosystem collapses. Personally, I think that's less of a blockchain network and more of a single solution built entirely by the foundation from start to finish. L1s with this kind of structure aren't sustainable. And that's exactly why growing an ecosystem where many builders emerge and diverse dApps are born is such an incredibly difficult thing to pull off.

@dori_coin We’re currently experiencing some challenging times and some people dislike uncertainty during bear markets. We have exceptional technology and just need to adopt a long-term strategy similar to Bitcoin. I have total faith in #Cardano and its future.

@CardanoTruth yeah, spot on. I think cardano has the kind of L1 ecosystm I see as ideal.
