Thinking out loud: what a Web3 utopia stack could look like. ICP/Arweave = Web3 hosting + permanent storage Flux = DePIN cloud compute (AI, nodes, heavy workloads) Cardano = settlement & coordination hub Midnight = privacy/policy/control plane SOL/Zcash/ETH/BTC/EVMs/etc.. = specialized L1 components Enterprise killer: finance/healthcare/AI/DePIN/supply chain What do y'all think? @dfinity @ArweaveEco @Cardano @MidnightNtwrk @IOHK_Charles @dominic_w @RunOnFlux @cypherpunkX

@planetmaaz @planetmaaz now now,let's behave 🤣

teams funded by the 2025 Cardano NCL will deliver on all of their contractual obligations denominated in ada without asking for a top up bc market conditions they willfully signed contracts & they would’ve obviously returned any upside to the treasury bc they’re Cardano First

@Raph_Bloch @EthCC They definitely do at Cardano and Midnight

I had coffee with a banker attending his first @EthCC. He was surprised by how little some crypto builders understand TradFi: "They’re very strong on tech. But they don’t really understand finance - how it works, why it exists. You can’t replace or improve a system you don’t understand." And the problem is, he’s right.

@planetmaaz I find that most Dreps and serious supporters will not lash out and resort to insults and abuse when someone shares their opinions.

cardano is the people's chain as i scroll through votes & rationales of votes of different dreps, many of which i interact with regularly, some are friends... i realise there are over 1000 dreps from all over - people like you and i, companies, etc. - deciding on the future of this ecosystem this is cardano's usp. digital sovereignty epic. cardano, the people's chain

No, Midnight does not settle on Cardano. It is a fully independent Layer 1 partner chain with its own consensus, settlement, and transaction finality. Midnight is a dual‑state ledger (public on‑chain state + local private state via ZK proofs) and it has its own consensus mechanism.

@planetmaaz Does midnight settle on Cardano?

A privacy layer for Ethereum how can Aztec make this claim? it settles on Ethereum

@planetmaaz Everyone is a lil extra busy since Midnight 🤣

@Sssebi @solana

I would like to announce that from now on I will only be posting Solana content. I have signed a 1 year contract with @solana to be their ambassador and talk about this amazing chain. Thank you everyone that has supported me on this journey🫡

@CryptoGnojek Cardano is bullish on you

Who still bullish on Cardano? 👀🩵

@Zforever97 @chief_000000 ICP doesn't need AWS to my knowledge. AWS can still be used for non-core pieces like monitoring, CI/CD, developer tooling, mirrors, or as part of a hybrid deployment strategy, but that is an infrastructure choice, not a protocol requirement.

@chief_000000 They are saying that Aws is using icp, they don’t understand that we are using their services, that’s my point

I thought $ICP people were smart but this guys clearly don’t understand how their investment works.

@CryptoGnojek Let's as the CF

Wen stablecoin injection? Wen scaling? Wen marketing? These are a MUST for Cardano $ADA to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. 🐦‍🔥

@iagadanight @HMResearchX These posts are all bait. The entirety of the crypto market is in the sh*tree.

@HMResearchX Bro sell it all with proof or stfu man tf up I'm willing to bet$100 your single all the male cry baby shit you do on here

Never would I thought $ADA would crumble like it has. It just keeps getting worse. Underperforming every single day. Either the founding entities wake up and realize price matters or it’s over. ADA will drop out of the top 10 forever.

I actually hold both projects. But If your question is “what chain best matches a future where AI, oracle data, and execution are tightly integrated,” then Qubic is a strong candidate. If your question is “what chain is already best for app UX and multi-chain orchestration,” ICP is still the cleaner app layer, and Qubic would fit better as the compute/oracle backend. So as far as my knowledge goes, they're solving for different layers.

@CryptoXDaPlug Qubic is beyond that .. and not saying icp is that bad

$ICP is powerful no doubt. But it’s still trapped in the “build apps, hope users come” loop. $Qubic flips that entirely. It doesn’t wait for demand… It creates demand through compute that earns. AI training. Hashpower. External revenue streams. While $ICP spends cycles to maintain a system, $Qubic turns every cycle into value extraction from outside markets. One is a closed economy. The other is plugged into real world cash flow. That’s the edge.

@ICPLEGEND1966 @PierreSamaties @zucaro_mar83047 @RunOnFlux @dfinity Oh I definitely see a world in which that is the reality. Hence I shared these thoughts x.com/i/status/20244… Have a look

@CryptoXDaPlug @PierreSamaties @zucaro_mar83047 @RunOnFlux @dfinity All blockchains will run on $ICP or through $ICP by @dfinity just give it some time and all roads will lead to $ICP ♾️ 👌

Cloud Engines are loading [██████████░░░░░░░░░░] 42% Booting sovereign compute... Spinning up cloud engines over AWS, GCP... Initializing tamperproof infrastructure...

@PierreSamaties @zucaro_mar83047 There is a massive potential and opportunities to have synergy/partnership between $ICP and $FLUX @RunOnFlux @dfinity

Once its open to the public you will be able to 1) add nodes to the cloud engine pool, if you are a node provider 2) create your own cloud engines over any node in the pool -> and switch if needed 3) run your own apps on your engine or monetize it by allowing others to deploy In the NNS you can see the first two pilot engines going live: Pakistan and a broader test for AWS, GCP, Azure

@ZannaKonda It's not unique to Cardano just look at CMC.

Honestly, I regret contributing so much to the Cardano ecosystem just to end up with a few thousand USD. Maybe that’s not a lot for some people, but I reinvested over 50k ADA back into the ecosystem (not even counting degen trades). I never saw real usage, never received funding, and spent 4 years building without any meaningful revenue. If I had just held and sold at $0.90, I would’ve walked away with ~$45k. Instead, I chose to believe in Cardano. Lesson learned: I was stupid enough to put belief over my own interests. Never again will I invest this much time and money without a clear, secured return. Still, I met great people along the way and that’s the only part I don’t regret. I’ll continue to support them.

Agreed, but do it responsibly — this can’t be a blind leap of faith. All‑in bets can succeed spectacularly, but they can also fail spectacularly. And failure is part of success — except you can’t rebuild a blockchain ecosystem by filing Chapter 11 and starting a new company. Treasury funds demand measured risk, not high‑stakes gambles. We can start by strengthening governance through: - Clear standards for proposals (KPIs, milestones, ROI framework) - DRep collaboration (roundtables, rationale sharing, peer review) - Concrete guidelines so everyone knows what “responsible” looks like And no, that's not bureaucracy, or centralisation — it’s basic risk management for public funds.

running a business is very similar to trading, except you can actively impact the outcome, whereas with trading, unless fraudulent, you have no say in what the outcome will be

If you asked me whether I’d hand over control of my company’s finances to someone who’s never successfully run a business, the answer is obvious: absolutely not. So why are we pretending it makes sense for the Cardano treasury? Asymmetric upside belongs to builders and professional risk-takers, NOT employees with no skin in the game (except for holding ADA) Until the community wakes up to this, ADA will likely continue to underperform

The real question shouldn’t be what Charles is doing — it should be what the organizations responsible for Cardano’s growth are doing. The handover point was always supposed to be about decentralized governance and roadmap delivery. That means execution, leadership, and follow-through matter more than personalities. To be blunt, at least from the outside, the Cardano Foundation does not always look like it has the same drive, business acumen, or urgency we see from other ecosystems like Solana.

Tell me again why were so butthurt about Charles "leaving" Cardano for Night? Let the dude go. First y'all say he's the problem. So he leaves and suddenly that's the issue. We gotta make up our minds guys. Is Cardano just Charles Hoskinson? Or is Cardano decentralized?

Do you have a dedicated cmc or coingheko app that only has 1 crypto project listed ? Have you seen the market for everyone else ? This is not a night issue it's clear market volatility from manipulation and sentiment. This pain isn't unique to a single asset or market, the stock market is also in turmoil

Night pumps, snek dumps. Night dumps, snek dumps harder. Fuck cardano, fuck night, fuck snek! It's all a fuckin scam

The chain belongs to the people and we vote independently to pass treasury withdrawals. Unless we say that he has enough voting power to sway decisions. Regardless if he is an active figure in the community or not, he will always be the founder of Cardano. You can't replace a founder. People should have the CF be more responsible for the state of the chain. Foundations in other successful chains are the backbone of commercial exposure, expansion etc.

@RTrixson @IOGroup How could you 'get rid of' the founder, or his company? He is free to play as he pleases, you just have to convince the crowd to stop giving him so much power. With no treasury, how can you fund things that are not directly profitable but e.g. improve system architecture?

I have a 3 step plan to get Cardano back in the game at #3 and $1. It's super simple. First, get rid of founder. He's useless, has a terrible appearance, and cries a lot. Bad incarnation. Secondly, kill those worthless entities like @IOGroup and burn all the ADA in the treasury. Lastly no more handouts. Those hand-held entrepreneurs will have to find 'real' utility ideas and haul ass to survive: added value guaranteed. You'll get in exchange a true trust-less system without grifters and holders will rejoice. Exactly what crypto was meant to be.

What do you think about a " DRep Round Table "? DRep Deep Roundtable idea: Example -Biweekly calls to interpret Vision 2030, stress-test big proposals, share voting heuristics. + Shared rationale library + optional peer review for high-impact asks. DReps vote independently. Just better inputs.

@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!
