Thorchain halts trading after $10 million cross-chain exploit, RUNE token drops 12%
I think we’re going to get used to seeing these kinds of attacks more and more frequently over the coming months, and this context is very likely Cardano’s last opportunity to show its value proposition.
Security, research, peer-to-peer architecture, and the UTXO model.
It’s time to fund ALL the teams that bring value to the ecosystem and launch a coordinated campaign between all the founding entities and the community to attract new users who value security in this context.

@playful0tter It’s a fair question, each dreps can assess it to their own standard and decide if it is worth it.
We believe it is, that why we submit it. I can’t give you any insurance that we’re right.
English
@playful0tter How much do you value this?
The same goes for any infrastructure work (while less critical than this example though).
How do you value research on incentives to maintain decentralization?
How much for the right approach to reduce the operational cost further?
English
It's not academic, but private research, which is usually more expensive.
But let start from there.
Add the benefits cost (usual industry ratio 70/30) so roughly x1.42.
Add the Facilities & Administrative (F&A), the lowest I found is the NIH, at 28% (x1.28)
108k* 1.42*1.28=196K

As of May 2026, the average annual salary for a university or academic researcher in the United States is roughly $108,000 to $113,000, with most salaries ranging between $67,000 and $154,000 Source - Google

@jrv97_velazquez It isn’t on me to decide. What I can tell is that for academic paper, it’s generally done by other researchers on their own time (and budget).
Fairly similar for CIPs by other builders. Our team members are also reviewing CIPs while it isn’t explicitly budgeted.
English
Should the community member that peer reviewed the produce paper also get this compensation?

⚠️ For SPOs to vote you will need Calidus Key, have no fear I have created a step by step guide here. I strongly recommend that everyone starts getting their Calidus Key setup and registered now. With this guide you will see how simple it is to do.

@InASingleWord Maybe it should be split more clearly? It’s such a misconception that 200k for an employee means that you’ll pay him 16k per month (or less and pocket the difference).
Some activities need to cover these costs and a distribution across projects/revenue streams is the fairest.
English
@SCATDAO @jazzwhistle @BeRewt Ours did and so many balked at it. 🤦🏼♀️ Seriously if you went and looked through the no rationales there were a lot of people saying that we wanted too much per person.

@_KtorZ_ It’s one for @fergiemiller but IIRC, they gave the program effort (multi year) and then the requested budget (for one year).

The average cost per headcount for the IOG research proposal is at less than 220k. It includes world class researchers and awesome engineers.
It covers their overhead.
I know it’s quite a cost. But it’s definitely competitive.
English
@SCATDAO All projects in the world work like that.
Not only IOG ones, or even commercial one.
Every. project.
English
@SCATDAO You don't need to know this to understand the point, and I don't get why you think it's silly.
We don't talk about rent, we talk about employer cost.
If a company allocates a resource full time to a project, the project has to pay for the company full cost.
English
@SCATDAO Where does IOG takes the money to pay this? If people are fully committed to the project, where does IOG gains the money to pay them?
Not all of them are IOG employee, do you think they don't integrate these costs?
English
@BeRewt Appreciate your response but don't understand what you are trying to say. You are adding benefits like health insurance? Why? Arent these all IOG employees who already have benefits? Doesnt IOG pay F&A regardless? Why are you adding overhead that they are paying regardless?

The Pogun proposal’s treasury return mechanism is what makes the alignment binding, not just stated. 20% of EBITDA returned to the Treasury until the full $2.95M is repaid. Then 5% in perpetuity. Revenue is on-chain and independently verifiable and there are refund clauses in place.
Pogun doesn't just benefit from Cardano's growth. It contractually contributes to it.

If you missed last week's space, here's a quick recap of what we talked about, and what Cayley really is about from @stakenuts himself 🥳
(I was there too)
Blockfrost@blockfrost_io
Cardano's data layer is decentralizing. Last week @stakenuts walked through how with a deep dive on the Blockfrost: Maintenance and Next Generation Indexing proposal Here is a quick recap 👇

On Cardano x402 is being used by mostly marketing professionals at large enterprises hiring agents on @Sokosumi.
While we don't have the golume of Base yet, we have tons of real world users hiring agents every day.
Zero Memecoins, zero wash trading, zero scams.
@aaronjmars@aaronjmars
the first rule of the x402 club is not asking about who's using x402 yes $50m was spent. for what? dont try to ask.

Build the future of Cardano with IOR
Cardano Vision 2026 is now on-chain. Help IOR turn research into reality by validating prototypes, refining specifications, and implementing CIPs across L2s, post-quantum security, identity, and governance.
Decentralized infrastructure is strongest when built together.
Calling builders, labs, SPOs, and strategic partners to work with IOR: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
