@mr_cata @NaVi_GaT0R @matiwinnetou Everytime I use dex through @lace_io it tries to make me set collateral over again and attempts to charge me an additional 0.18 everytime. What gives?

Primary Eternl user here and Vesper on mobile... I disagree on "better". I see Eternl for more intermediate/advanced users - we need wallets with less going on for beginners as well. If onboarding, I prefer to show people to Lace wallet on desktop, if only due to ease of use. Different targets imo. Plus, Lace has implemented some features I consider key to spreading out distribution of stake as well (split spo delegates). I'd like to see that added to governance delegation as well at some point (if they haven't already added it).

This a dig at IOG not Robert. IOG's mandate is NOT products, spreading themselves thin is an IOG problem not a Cardano problem. Stop building against your own ecosystem and start focusing on your mandate.

@OzDefi Having done LP providing, CDPs, loans and the likes unfortunately its not worth it right now. The incentives are just not there. Most CNTs are down 50% plus. So unless they are paying more than that im out. Try bitcoin mining backed LP incentives then well talk

So I asked grok what percentage of crypto holders use defi, 20-30% Then I asked what percentage of $ADA holders us defi? less than 5%. You guys disgust me USE THE CHAIN!! You have the safest contracts sitting on the safest chain and you all are content in earning 2.5% staking rewards? Don't you get it? Your 2.5% isn't going to save your value if $ADA goes down in price. Activity and TVL drives more interest in the chain, more developers, more investors. The price of $ADA only goes up if you use it, otherwise it is a slow death. USE THE CHAIN!! #cardano

@CryptoWendyO @IOHK_Charles Ask him about his glow in the dark plants!!! And have him detail his latest mushroom trip lol

I’m interviewing @IOHK_Charles today. What should I ask him?

@astroboysoup Now if u r talking about making professional tutorials and running a website like learncardano then thats a different story. But specifically just social media content creation should be unpaid and thus forcibly genuine

Putting out a temp check to see what the community think about this idea. Can Cardano Content Creators get funding from the Treasury? There is a lot of talk about Treasury withdrawal at the moment, what it should and shouldn’t be used for, how much should be spent and return on investment. I wanted to test and see if the community at large is interested in helping fund content creators in the Cardano ecosystem. X Space interviews, YouTube interviews, deep dives and so on. They all take time or run, organize, market, edit and produce. I’ve even Epochs end is taking a break to recalibrate. I know its a bear market but there aren’t many of us left. We do burn out. Sometimes I do feel like I’m the last one standing. Is it possible for Cardano Content Creators to get funded? forum.cardano.org/t/how-do-you-f…

@astroboysoup I prefer real honest passionate content creation which inevitably must be unpaid. The second money is involved, it becomes less genuine. Just my take

@TrinityCaptain @yutazzz @JaromirTesar Preparing booths. That speakers heavy bro

@yutazzz @JaromirTesar $200k for manning booths for one event 🧐

With the cancellation of TOKEN2049 Dubai confirmed, demand is expected to concentrate in Singapore, and I can see the value in Cardano having a presence there. That said, given the scale of spending requested and the strong opposition voiced by the Cardano community — including the Japanese community — I believe the rationale for proceeding with this proposal as-is deserves careful scrutiny. As the majority of my delegation comes from the Japanese community, I cannot ignore their sentiment. For me, the central concern in making this judgment is the regression in outcome metrics and the verifiability of the 2025 results. The 2025 proposal included an outcome metric of 15–20% year-on-year growth in developer numbers. CF has honestly acknowledged that this was not achieved. The only concrete success case CF named in that context — hackathon silver medalist Ryan Williams — was someone already deeply involved in Cardano's core standard-setting well before the Summit, and was not onboarded through it. Therefore, the number of cases that concretely demonstrate the 2025 proposal's goal of "acquiring and retaining new developers" stands at zero. This was particularly disappointing to me, as it was the primary reason I voted YES on the 2025 Cardano Summit and booth proposals. On enterprise partnerships as well, while participation from J&J, Volvo, Mastercard, and others was reported, no follow-through has been shown — no PoC, no production deployment, no MOU. The impact on on-chain activity similarly remains unexamined. The 2026 proposal was an opportunity to address these shortcomings, but instead the developer retention metric has been removed entirely, replaced only with output indicators such as "booth contacts," "media coverage," and "wallet sign-ups." For a proposal of ₳14,076,539, what is needed is first a demonstration of what the 2025 investment actually brought to the ecosystem, and then a clear account of how 2026 will improve upon it. Just to be clear, I am genuinely open to supporting this event itself, and I try not to place as much weight on the Genesis ADA question as some other DReps do. The issue for me is that, given this level of spending and the degree of community opposition, I want to be able to feel confident in the outcomes — whether that comes from KPIs that genuinely measure ecosystem impact, a track record from the previous year that demonstrates real results, or, if that track record fell short, a clear account of what is being done differently this time. That is what I am trying to understand. cardanofoundation.org/blog/cardano-s…

@phillip_pon Btw im saying this not to attack you, but to force self reflection and realize that you are in a position of great power in a community of hard working people. Perhaps u do have a regular job. Good. I hope u prove me wrong. Thats the point

@phillip_pon Do you work full time on Cardano? maybe time to rejoin the regular labor force to remind yourself why we all joined crypto to begin with. I know a ton of people working regular jobs that do cardano on the side and they are way more passionate about it than you. Spoiled

A Message to the Cardano Community: Why Singapore 2026 is Our Strategic Inflection Point Community, I hear you. I’ve read many of the questions regarding our presence in Singapore, and I want to address them directly—not just as the CEO of EMURGO, but as a long-term stakeholder in this ecosystem. The skepticism regarding "internal parties" and the ROI of large booths is understandable. You want to see every ADA working toward the growth of the network. However, I want to clarify why Cardano Summit 2026 and Token2049 Singapore are not just "events"—they are a calculated counter-offensive in a global market that is currently in flux. 1. The World is Coming to Singapore The global crypto calendar has shifted. With the unfortunate cancellation of Token2049 Dubai, the industry's gravity has moved entirely to Singapore. This isn't just about "crypto people"—it is also F1 Singapore Weekend. This means every major financial institution, Tier-1 VC, and Family Office will be in the city. To be absent, or to have a "modest" presence, is to signal to the world's capital that Cardano is retreating. We are doing the opposite. We are showing up where the money is, at the exact moment the world is watching. 2. A Proven, KPI-Driven Strategy We are not spending blindly. Our approach is strictly KPI-driven, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability. It is important to note that both Cardano Summit 2025 and Unified Marketing 2025 met or exceeded every stated KPI—from developer sign-ups and media reach to institutional leads. In fact, we were one of the few projects to fully deliver on our commitments within last year's Net Change Limit (NCL) framework. We are bringing that same discipline and data-backed rigor to Singapore. 3. From "Booth" to "Infrastructure" There is a misconception that these summits are just for swag. Let’s look at the "Unified" approach at the last Token2049 Singapore. By standing together, the founding entities were able to negotiate and sign deals that brought critical core primitives to our ecosystem: 1. USDCx – A Tier-1 stablecoin asset. 2. Pyth Network – Institutional-grade pricing oracles. 3. LayerZero – Critical omni-chain interoperability. 4. Dune Analytics – Essential data transparency for our builders. These weren't "internal discussions"; they were high-level business developments—and there are more to come. @emurgo_io and the @Cardano_CF support this proposal because we act as the legal and commercial counterparties required to sign these contracts. @IOGroup stepped up (as they always do) to countersign as well. @IntersectMBO is maturing and over time will become the primary signer (in my opinion) but at present we are still needed. These entities require a professional, unified front before they commit to integrating with our tech stack. The funds are used to secure venues, sponsorships, and ensure efficient event execution. 4. Solving the "Enterprise" and "Booth" Perception We are evolving how we showcase Cardano: Beyond Retail: Enterprise adoption is a "back-room" game. The Industry Day is designed to get our builders in front of the institutional players who are in town for the F1 and Token2049. Institutional Ready: It has been highlighted that we are predominantly retail, but in my estimation, Cardano is institutional-ready given the significant infrastructure investments we have made and delivered—in large part thanks to @IOGroup and @IOHK_Charles's leadership. @MidnightNtwrk has brought the spotlight back to our ecosystem. Like it or not, we live in an economy of attention, and right now, the attention needs to be on us. Unifying the Best: Most importantly, this summit provides a world-class platform for our top ecosystem projects. We are giving our most promising DApps an audience of tens of thousands that they could never reach individually. As smaller projects, they could not scale this on their own or would be relegated to the back corners of Token2049. That would be precious money wasted—money they cannot afford to risk as individual projects. An Invitation to Our Builders We want this to be the most inclusive representation of Cardano to date. We welcome all Cardano projects to reach out to us regarding how you can be showcased at both the Cardano Summit and the Unified Community Day. This can be your global platform. Let us help you! We are building the "Operational Backbone" to showcase why we belong, why we are relevant, and why we are on the offense. Let’s show the world that Cardano is a global, professional network that offers superior institutional and enterprise infrastructure. Let’s show them what Cardano is made of. Together. Please vote "Yes" but our DMs are open, we have reached out to early voters to listen to their feedback. @Cardano @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io #pentad #strongertogether #unifiedcommunity

@SlimFlexington Delusional af

AAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA Him thinking that was him as a doctor somehow makes this EVEN WORSE!

@Epka_Epka @alxaex @Cardano_CF @alxaex plesse respond to this. @epka_epka has valid points. Last year, CF said they wouldn't be asking for more treasury funds for summit. What caused going back on your word? Thats the biggest thing urking the community rn. Why believe anything you say after crying wolf?

To be clear, nobody here is against events or summits. We like Cardano events and we want more of them. Last year, you promised that you wouldn’t be asking for funds from the treasury this year. So the simple question is, why are you going back on that? The Cardano Foundation has more than 100 employees and has had literally zero impact on the network for years. Maybe, just once, you could take a critical look at yourselves. Right now, it feels like we’re talking to a wall. You seem to be living in a bubble, people keep telling you that you’re not doing a good job, and your response is always, “No, we’re doing great.” The lack of self awareness is hard to understand. People are clearly dissatisfied, yet there’s no real accountability or oversight, and you continue to insist that everything is fine. Talking to you feels pointless, no arguments seem to get through. It comes across as if you simply refuse to listen to any criticism. At this point, many people are fed up with the foundation and how it operates. You just don’t want to listen to anyone. Your Swiss egos are beyond imagination. Your attitude over the years has turned everyone against you. YOU GUYS ARE THE PROBLEM AND YOU DON’T SEE IT AND YOU DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO ANYBODY Honestly, kindly fuck off from treasury money, you and your useless foundation.

Yes - the CARDANO SUMMIT is expensive No - it is not wasteful spending Yes - I work for @Cardano_CF No - Im not biased Paradox! Liar! Entitled Asshole! How dare you! F#k OFF! You only save your own salary! not quite... Let me start with a personal reason.... I attended around 50 crypto conferences in the last 10 years and was on stage at a few of them. I was at 4 out of 5 Cardano Summits, spoke at 3 of them and my first one (Lausanne) convinced me to dedicate 100% of my available time to the vision that Cardano has and all you amazing people reflect. I often say that the reason why Im here was the professional, non-hype driven energy of Lausanne. For comparison: I went to Bitcoin Miami just before Lausanne, in a period where I was looking for a new professional residence, and while I got 2 good job offers during this insane conference with the most influential people and companies present, it was Cardano Summit, and you lot, that made me choose - and find my residence. The Cardano Summit is an extraordinary event and your critiques are valuable, heck, necessary, but killing it does more damage than you realize. It is NOT a crypto party for the elite.. even if you wish it was to underline your arguments. I was at plenty of crypto conferences that were actually just big parties. If you have been at the Summit, you know - it is not one of those. But I dont judge you for believing that happens. 2.5m sure sounds like it. It is the only event in Cardanoland thats tailored towards the projects and companies that do not exist on X. "STF Alex! Those are pipe dreams. Institutional Adoption never comes. Better pump bags with DeFi!" Well... - Draper. The audience and the impression of Dubai made on them mattered. Tim Draper himself announced in Berlin they chose Cardano and its builders to build out their portfolio of valuable companies. - Service Plan and Würth Group had massively successful announcements. One of them is running one of the most successful projects ever on Cardano right now - and the users dont even know they are using Cardano. Masumi. - Freakin' Nasa presented space part supply chains on Cardano at the summit two years ago. I mean.. wtf. With a better administration, and more institutional tooling, mainnet and putting this in production isnt far away. - Don Tapscott is a regular since 3 years, I interviewed him in Berlin for a podcast, and he brought more eyes to Cardano with his reach than any million could ever buy. - Volvo, Novo Nordisk, Orange, Boston Consulting Group, State Street, United Nations, Women in Tech, and many many MANY more were there just last year - and they either already ran projects on Cardano, or were strategically there to get an impression. I talked with 12 people in my little podcast studio, and backstage with a lot of speakers - all unilaterally had one thing to say: This crypto conference is different... for the better. The Cardano Summit is NOT for Cardano. Thats what Rare Evo, the Buidler Fest, Cardano Africa, and all the other amazing events in locations like IOs Buenos Aires office are for. They are valuable - but those dont attract many outsiders. Its cooking in our own kitchen. Comfortable, well known, but it tastes the same. The Cardano Summit is for those companies that seek professional residence - like i once did and having it just before Token 2049 (in fact, next door), which draws in 25'000 people outside of our ecosystem, will spill over to the summit. Holy shit. Epic. "yeah thats cool and all. still f#ck you CF. You are rich as f#k, dont deliver on your shit and are supposed to pay. you are just acting in your interest to survive." Dont worry, CF spends 45m every year and is on track to not exist anymore in about 5 years - we are extincting ourselves soon enough. and btw.. CFs internal cost to organize the event arent included in the budget. Everything we do is public: #page=27" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">…financialreport.cardanofoundation.org/#page=27

@JaromirTesar @planetmaaz Being that cardano is heavily research driven, wouldnit be possible to create marketing with education industry as the target audience? Perhaps investing into universited and early collegevhigh school programs to get them to teach cardano?

@planetmaaz Do you mean influencers, or profi marketing agencies?

Polkadot spent $45–60M on outreach in 2024 (incl. marketing, PR, events). Total lifetime marketing is estimated to be $70–120M. ₳4M is worth about $1M. Even $45M might not move the needle. Do we want to invest in marketing? Does it drive adoption, developers, and real usage?

That being said, yall literally dont even know the half of it. Whats out there doesnt even begin to scratch the surface. And i like it that way. You want the realest shit youve ever heard, gonna have to catch me at a show one day and live it with me in the moment.

Thing is, most of what ive created is unreleased and will most likely remain so. Why pour my soul into a system aka "the music industry" designed by soulless demons seeking extraction. Many ancient people wrote music in the moment with the intent of it never reaching the public.

Been making music for over 25 years. Cost me way more than ive ever made. But i don't do it for praise or fortune. The songs I make are like itches that need to be scratched. They eat away at me until release. And I will never stop. Its just how I am built.
