COSD Cardano Stake Pool

@henhen789 @tsnnst @StakeWithPride @hix_coffeepool @IdealStake @TosiDrop I think a *true* AI would rather pay 10 cents on #Cardano for a single computation-heavy data-rich transaction — with 💯 assurance it will go through — than to submit thousands of transactions on #Solana, each at negligible cost, without any assurance that any of it went through.

@tsnnst @StakeWithPride @COSDpool @hix_coffeepool @IdealStake @TosiDrop Thoughts on AI agents using Cardano? Eutxo allows for parallelization, predictable pricing and execution so shouldn't focus/narrative for Cardano be being the place AI agents interact?

Cardano has a lot of visible work: launches, announcements, debates, big ideas. But a healthy ecosystem also depends on the unglamorous work that almost nobody sees, the editing, review cycles, cleanup, coordination, and relentless attention to detail that turns rough drafts into something the community can actually build on. This year, a huge amount of that load has been carried by Robert Phair (@rphair). He’s spent countless hours moving the CIP process forward: editing, reviewing, nudging, fixing typos, making commits, and doing whatever was needed to keep proposals progressing. It’s thankless work, and most people won’t even know his name; yet it is the foundation of the entire ecosystem. If you care about Cardano maturing, you should care about the people doing this kind of stewardship. Robert is one of those rare contributors who shows up consistently, does the hard parts, and rarely asks for anything. He deserves real recognition for the impact he’s had.

@phil_uplc 😊 and thank *you* Phil for being one of the key developers who's taken the time to support the CIP process. 🙏 5½ years ago it seemed like a good idea to separate my personal (@rxphair) and #cardano (@COSDpool) identities... and it may seem sensible again someday, but not now 😅

Thanks @__fallen_icarus to your trust and cooperation I've known long in advance that this would happen someday 😇 ... but still the confirmation is exhilarating & empowering: a long awaited market that can't really be duplicated outside #cardano 😍

@DenicioBernier @MadOrkestra @InputEndorsers @YoroiWallet @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @Cardano_CF @IOHK_Charles Just finding this: was sick Xmas to New Year's 🥲 but happy to see this moving again. We can create a CIP-0013 discussion channel on CIP Discord server & maybe use Editor Meetings voice channel for working group meetings: PM me on Telegram? 🤓 @Ryun1_ @perturbing101 @IntersectMBO

@MadOrkestra @InputEndorsers @YoroiWallet @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @Cardano_CF @IOHK_Charles Did someone mentioned, Roundtable? Hey @MadOrkestra, I’d be more than happy to work with you on organizing this. Dropping you a DM shortly. Let’s make it happen!

Eh Cardano, can we please have a wallet roundtable in January, so we can get proper CIP-13 payment link integration in all wallets? Nobody can build user friendly POS payment systems on Cardano right now. @YoroiWallet @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @Cardano_CF @IOHK_Charles

@CHGPool @Cardano Good suggestion for the CLI section of Builder Tools on the #Cardano Developer Portal (cc @boraonchain @adatainment) 🤔 developers.cardano.org/tools/?tags=cli

@Cardano @COSDpool @COSDpool here is some documentation that could use some love github.com/input-output-h…

Meet Robert Phair (@COSDpool), one of the newest Ambassadors to join the Cardano Ambassador Program. Robert brings decades of experience and a strong belief in open-source, and this comes through clearly in his long-standing work on Cardano’s CIPs and documentation. Few people have contributed as much to shaping the ecosystem’s written standards and helping preserve its long-term memory. He’s committed to helping Cardano grow through clarity, good documentation, and accessible standards that everyone can build on. His message to the community: “Stay generous with your ideas. What you give, you get back many-fold.”

Thanks to @Cardano_CF, @DenicioBernier, and the #Cardano Ambassador team for this feature and the recognition for our founder @rxphair 🤩 forum.cardano.org/t/ambassador-s…

Getting excited for the first in-person CIP Editors meeting in 2 weeks at Day-0 of the 2025 Cardano Summit by @Cardano_CF! Who else will be joining us in Berlin on Nov 11-13? 🤠♥️🇩🇪🍻 @Ryun1_ @COSDpool @perturbing101

@Ryun1_ This is the result of a long time discussion by governance metadata experts of how to deal with that particular impostor problem: 😎 github.com/cardano-founda…

and a second step towards improving things I have published a new CIP, which extends the existing governance metadata standards adding a property which allows tools to verify if governance metadata is likely being replayed id appreciate feedback: github.com/cardano-founda…

@MadOrkestra @Catalyst_onX @dannyribar @InputOutputHK @krissbaird My guess is that other posted thresholds would have applied: e.g. the requirement that a project achieves at least 1% of the voted funds. Compressing the voting power could have reduced a far greater number of proposals below this eligibility limit or others. 🤔

@Catalyst_onX @dannyribar @InputOutputHK @krissbaird couldn't all of this have been tested with F1 to F13 in great depth? also, why would only a small number of projects have been funded? you fund the number of top ranking projects per category until the overall funds of that category are depleted? makes no sense to me at all tbh.

🚨Fund14 Results Update Fund14 was another giant leap ⏩ Sometimes experiments don’t go as planned, we’re adapting to keep things fair, trusted and transparent.  F14 Voting itself worked really well The final tallying step in the process, introducing the quadratic formula, produced an outcome that just doesn't make any sense for Cardano right now. 📺 @krissbaird explains everything on the video below Thank you to everyone who voted 💙Catalyst only works because you do 🐈‍⬛

@My__X__Account @Ryun1_ @meshsdk yes, of course we'll revisit these suggestions the next time the issue is discussed. In the meantime, whenever constitution authors want to bring CIP commitments into their drafts, editors will always be available to respond about the practicality of these inclusions. 😇

@meshsdk To clarify: what we need most chronically are dev *reviewers* in the CIP process 🤓 since it's not the editors that create CIP equity, but expert *peer review* (though with regular repo maintenance & dev relations that do need to be provisioned somehow) ⭐ github.com/cardano-founda…

Speaking a lot with @COSDpool these days about CIP Editor thingies. A Key Issue is that there is currently definitely lack of dev capacity to keep the CIP machinery running, especially when measuring vs the importance of CIPs. (very little devs engage in editoring CIP process) So, starting to bring this topic a bit more up in public here, asking folks to feedback if we indeed should start with Mesh to help out at the CIP machinery.

@My__X__Account We never sought this since 1) CIPs are about technical, not human factors; 2) CIPs are not governance, but only support it; 3) use of CIPs is voluntary & so can't be required in a Constitution 🤓 but we'll revisit this in CIP working groups around the Summit. 🤔 @Ryun1_ @meshsdk

@meshsdk I just passed this along to all of my own working group who have been involved with the Midnight TGE & are getting their Catalyst vote lists together this weekend. 🤠

Mesh: Privacy-Enabled Smart Contracts and UI for Midnight Cardano Partnerchains are coming, and we want to make sure that devs can keep using mesh when starting to build on Midnight. This is our first proposal to work on the Cardano <> Midnight front, a first step into the right direction gov.meshjs.dev/proposal/midni…

Mesh at Catalyst Fund14. We have 5 Proposals at Mesh for Catalyst Fund14. A overview on all of them... - Mesh UTXOS x Mercuryo (MasterCard) x Checkpoint - Mesh: Tools & Docs for AI Models/Workflows - Mesh: Cross Chain production-ready wallet SDK - Mesh: New Tx Class for Mesh SDK - Mesh: Privacy-Enabled Smart Contracts and UI for Midnight

CIPs will continue even if this isn't funded... but your YES vote will help ensure the process is kept relevant to the Community: from devs & companies to casual observers 🤓 projectcatalyst.io/funds/14/carda… #Cardano @LidoNation @dannyribar @Ryun1_ @adamKDean @perturbing101 @NicolasC3rny

@adamKDean @Cardano @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @eternlwallet @Tokeo_io @YoroiWallet @Ryun1_ Thanks for the announcement @adamKDean 🤩 - I'm not regularly on X these days so saw just now. Wallet architects: this is the ideal time (maybe the *only* time, before implementations might diverge) to agree on these URI standards which will be a huge part of #Cardano equity 🤓

Paging @cardano @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @eternlwallet @Tokeo_io @YoroiWallet @Ryun1_ @COSDpool

It's 2025 and the state of deep-link enabled wallets on Cardano leaves room for improvement... Hopefully this will help nudge all wallet makers into fully supporting web+Cardano URIs and particularly deep linking for mobile wallets: npmjs.com/package/cardan…

@NicolasC3rny @phillewisit @IntersectMBO @AdamRusch @adamKDean @rickmccracken @hoskytoken @planetmaaz @benohanlon @Cardano_CF @yutazzz @emurgo_io @Ryun1_ @perturbing101 @NicolasC3rny it would make a great CIP-0100 extension and I'll be watching out for it 🤓— though I agree with @Quantumplation that it could be handled by an off-chain field definition, I think lodging as a CIP would provide better authenticity for the process & better adoption.

@phillewisit @IntersectMBO @AdamRusch @adamKDean @rickmccracken @hoskytoken @planetmaaz @benohanlon @Cardano_CF @yutazzz @emurgo_io An extension of CIP-0100 potentially 💯 What say you CIP editors? 🙏 @Ryun1_ @COSDpool @perturbing101

How can we verify that a treasury withdrawal governance action is tied to an approved Budget Info Action? Include the proposer’s public key in the BIA metadata and make it clear that every treasury withdrawal tied to that BIA will include a signature from the matching private key. A quick signature check provides DReps with proof that the entity proposing the budget is requesting funds. Thoughts?

@NicolasC3rny @adatainment I was taught by the best - @COSDpool 💪

its ada not ADA Ada is the currency, while ada indicates units of that currency (e.g. "Ada holders can accumulate more ada to increase their influence.") ADA is the trading symbol !!

Stake pool operators are vital to Cardano’s security and decentralization. 🌐 In this series, we regularly highlight their impact. This time, @rxphair’s work with COSD on governance, network resilience, and the CIP process takes the spotlight. Dive in: cardanofoundation.org/blog/spotlight…
