ASY 🐱 | Cardano SPO | TSUNAGI

🚀 TSUNAGI Propagation Milestone Achieved Today our Zig-built node TSUNAGI successfully served a block to a live Cardano preview relay using the full Node-to-Node protocol stack. Handshake → ChainSync → RollForward → BlockFetch → BatchDone Logs confirm: • FindIntersect = found • BlockFetch RequestRange • StartBatch / BatchDone • served_header = true • served_block = true A Zig implementation acting as a real Cardano peer. Not a simulation. Not a parser. A node. Next phase: • continuous propagation • historical ancestry coverage • light-node mode • operator tooling (JP-friendly) #Cardano #Zig #Cardanonode #Tsunagi

@IOHK_Charles @KanaKemo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@KanaKemo 🦂 scorpions went into my ass, ants go on the hands

April 2025 charles hoskinson @iohk_charles used treasury funds to activate "wolf mode" by traveling to the brazilian amazon, smoke ketamine and let bullet ants crawl up his ass Charles insisted this would be beneficial for Cardano, however ADA price has dropped 80% since then.

@agustinenada that looks so much like the country side of Japan! ;)

😁great place to start my morning❣️

@IOHK_Charles thank you❣️

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever. Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote. But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for. It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever. So let me show up the way I should. I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard. To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward. I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

@LarryCosto @hix_coffeepool @ii_daisuke if it's recorded I will have to put 10filters🤣🤣🤣on me

@JureKaramarko thanks for coming and for the post, I had to be @_Night_Forge_ since i couldn't join from ASY account LOL. We will do this again! ;)

Dear Cardano community in Japan 🇯🇵 Since I’ve just heard some alarming information: - 90% of the Japanese Cardano community does not speak English 👀 - In WhatsApp and Telegram groups, 2–3 people selectively pass on information from the Cardano ecosystem to you 👀 - You have trusted those people to represent you in decision-making 👀 We have translated our Cardano News into Japanese. From now on, you can follow what is happening in the Cardano ecosystem every day in your own language. Delegate your $ADA to people who will represent the interests of #Cardano, not use you as their human shield… @hix_coffeepool @_Night_Forge_ @the_c0nnector @IOHK_Charles In the settings, change the language to Japanese 🇯🇵 and check what is really happening in the ecosystem. songmarketcap.com/cardanonews

@CardanoNoodz it was a fun day for Japan! ;)

Historic

‘JAPAN REPLIES TO CARDANO’ Thank you so much to everyone who joined yesterday’s SPACE. First of all, huge respect to @hix_coffeepool for hosting and carrying the conversation all the way through, and thank you as well to @Hardfork_OT for speaking about Catalyst GRAPH APP that you have made! Honestly… I never expected so many people from around the world to gather together like that. Before the SPACE started, there was a part of me wondering: “Will Japan’s voice really be heard?” “Does the global community even care what’s happening here?” But yesterday answered that clearly. People from all over the world came because they genuinely wanted to understand what is happening inside the Japanese Cardano community. That alone meant a lot. For some reason I couldn’t even join properly through @AshiyaPool and had to jump in through @_Night_Forge_ instead🤣 but honestly, that chaos somehow made the SPACE feel even more real. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t perfectly organized. There were disagreements, emotions, and tension at times. But that is exactly why it mattered. On X, people argue every day. Communities split apart. Different sides attack each other. Sometimes it feels impossible to have a real conversation anymore. But yesterday, people from completely different perspectives actually sat down and talked. That was powerful. And more than anything else, I was reminded how much love people still have for Cardano. The passion. The belief. The willingness to fight for the future of this ecosystem. Seeing that again made me realize something very important: Cardano is not finished. Not even close. If anything, this feels like the beginning of a new chapter. And having @IOHK_Charles come into the SPACE himself and speak directly and passionately also meant a lot. Whether people agreed or disagreed, the fact that both sides could speak openly in the same place was important. At the same time, Japan absolutely has problems we need to face honestly. There are divisions. Closed circles. Power structures. A lack of fresh participation. And serious manpower problems around the current DRep ecosystem. There is still a lot of “darkness” inside the Japanese Cardano scene that has not fully surfaced yet. But yesterday was not just about blaming people. It became a place where we could seriously ask: “How do we move closer to true decentralization?” And personally, I believe some of the current structures in Japan need to be broken apart completely. Not out of hate. Not to destroy Cardano. But because decentralization cannot survive if power, influence, and decision-making become stagnant. New builders need space. New voices need room to speak. People who are actually creating value need to be seen. Nobody gives us decentralization for free. We have to build it ourselves. That is why even without funding, even without treasury money, I continue building. We are still building nodes. Still building infrastructure. Still trying to push Cardano forward from Japan. Yesterday’s SPACE felt bigger than drama or controversy. It felt like the beginning of a new era for Cardano Japan. To everyone who spoke. Everyone who listened. Everyone who joined from around the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And trust me… this conversation is only getting started. There’s still a lot more to say. See you all in the next SPACE.

『JAPAN REPLIES TO CARDANO』 昨日のSPACE、本当にたくさんの方に集まっていただきありがとうございました。 まずはホストとして最後まで走り切ってくれた @hix_coffeepool さん、本当にお疲れ様でした。 そして @Hardfork_OT さんもCatalystや今のCardanoについてのリアルな話をありがとうございました。 正直、ここまで世界中から人が集まるとは思っていませんでした。 SPACEを開く前は、 「日本の声なんて届くのか」 「ちゃんと伝わるのか」 そんな不安もどこかにありました。 でも蓋を開けてみれば、 本当に世界中のCardanoコミュニティが “今、日本で何が起きているのか” を真剣に見ていた。 それを改めて強く実感しました。 僕自身、なぜか @AshiyaPool では入れなくなってしまい、 急遽 @_Night_Forge_ 側で参加するというハプニングまでありましたが（笑） 逆にそれも含めて、すごく「生っぽい」SPACEだった気がします。 綺麗事だけじゃない。 でも、だからこそ意味があった。 X上では日々いろんな意見が飛び交っています。 時には対立もあるし、 感情的になることもある。 でも昨日は、 普段ぶつかり合っている側の人達が、 ちゃんと同じ場所で話をすることができた。 それが本当に大きかったと思っています。 そして何より、 世界中から集まってくれた人達の“Cardano愛”が凄かった。 ここまで真剣に議論し、 ここまで熱量を持ち、 ここまで未来を信じている人達がまだこんなにいる。 それを見て、 「Cardanoはまだまだ終わっていない」 どころか、 「ここからまた始まる」 そう強く感じました。 さらに、 @IOHK_Charles さん本人が来て、 しっかり自分の言葉で熱く語ってくれたことも、 とても大きな意味があったと思います。 もちろん、 日本コミュニティには課題もあります。 閉鎖感、 分断、 情報格差、 一部の権力構造、 DRepのマンパワー問題。 まだまだ表に出ていない“日本の闇”もあると思っています。 でも昨日は、 ただ誰かを叩く場所ではなく、 「どうすれば本当のdecentralizedに近づけるのか」 をみんなで考える場所になった。 それが本当に嬉しかった。 そして僕は、 今の日本のDRep構造や、 固定化された空気感、 古い流れを、 本気で壊していかなければいけないと思っています。 壊すというのは、 ただ否定することじゃない。 新しい人が入れる空気を作ること。 本当に価値ある挑戦者が埋もれないようにすること。 そして、 “みんなのCardano” をちゃんと取り戻すこと。 decentralizedは、 誰かが与えてくれるものじゃない。 一人一人が、 声を上げ、 議論し、 動いて、 初めて作られていくものだと思っています。 僕自身、 Fundingも受けず、 泥臭く、 それでも信じてノードを作り続けています。 だからこそ、 理想論だけじゃなく、 実際に動く人間として、 これからも前に立っていきたい。 昨日のSPACEは、 単なる炎上や議論ではなく、 “Cardano Japanの新しい時代の始まり” だった気がしています。 改めて、 来てくださった全ての方、 聞いてくださった全ての方、 発言してくださった全ての方へ。 心からありがとうございました。 そしてこれは、 まだ始まりに過ぎません。 言いたいことはまだまだ山ほどあります。 続きは、また次回のSPACEで。 本当にありがとうございました。

@hix_coffeepool we will do this again! And next time please don't block the co-host🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was amazing space we never imagined before starting it☕️ Great people joining with great insight, passion, and dedication to our ecosystem. Let's do it again! See you for now, talk to you very soon👋☕️

@hix_coffeepool @Hardfork_OT something to add in the collection! ;)

Let's take a little break and listen to that song 😊☕️ Cardano's theme song ☕️ 👇 [Decentralized Caffeine - English Version] Lyrics by @Hardfork_OT ENG Lyrics by and Music by @AshiyaPool Song by 9rissc youtube.com/watch?v=uqQeOS…

@adamKDean we will have an interesting space today! ;) x.com/i/spaces/1jGXg…

I am seeing shameful personal attacks from both sides of the governance debate. Mud slinging is a tactic as old as politics but we need to endeavor to do better. Westerners invoking Japanese culture and customs that they learned from an anime to "bully and harass" members of the Japanese DRep community are the worst. (Note: I'm not talking about Charles here, who was respectful in his message even if some interpreted it negatively) Be better. The sky isn't falling one way or another. We must be able to disagree without being disagreeable. We must be able to discuss ideas without resulting in personal attacks. To the entire Japanese Cardano community, I am sorry you have been placed at the center of this. I've always known you to be respectful, patient, and fully supportive of Cardano's mission through the years. A fledgling government system is rough, but we will get through it together.

もうね、ADAはこれまで何度も危機を乗り越えてきたけど、 今回の @IOHK_Charles の日本に対する発言は、 本当に日本コミュニティのADA離れに繋がりかねない危機感を感じています。 自分はMidnight Ambassador Programにも関わっているし、 チャールズのことも今でも尊敬しています。 だからこそ、今回の流れはかなり残念でした。 確かに、日本コミュニティ側にも問題はあると思う。 まとまりが弱く、他責になったり、 Catalystの時だけ急に現れる人達がいたり、 DRep任せになってしまっている部分もある。 でも、日本はADA初期を支え、 実際に土台を作ってきた国の一つです。 そのフォローや対話が十分にできていない中で、 感情的に見える発信をしてしまうのは違うと思う。 そして制度設計そのものにも課題はある。 Treasuryの使い方、 資金の流れ、 コミュニティとの距離感、 全部含めて見直す時期に来ていると思う。 うちも今、一生懸命ノードを作っています。 でも1円もfundingは受けてない。 それでも、やろうと思えばできる。 だからこそ、ちゃんと価値あるものを世に出したい。 “NOT FUNDED”でも、 本気で積み上げている人達はいる。 明日はぜひ、 日本コミュニティとして、 感情論ではなく、 「日本を軽く見るな」 という意思をしっかり伝えてほしい。 参加してますけどw

I asked my German friend if he knew the square root of 81. He said “No”.
