Today we’re launching Hodei Wallet (hodei.io)
A different kind of Cardano wallet: built for the user’s device, not the browser.
We think that’s where self-custody should be headed.
Browsers are powerful, but they were built for apps and content.
When it comes to wallet security, we think the better place to anchor trust is the personal device; being backed by the protections people already use every day.
Hodei takes a different path:
• keys stay on-device
• signing stays outside the dapps
• the dApp and wallet stay separate by design
That changes the trust model in a meaningful way.
The browser is where the app runs.
The device is where approval happens.
Hodei keeps those roles separate, so users are not being asked to trust the same environment with everything.
If you’re building on Cardano and want to explore Hodei, talk to us.
We’re looking to work with teams that want to implement wallet UX across different environments, while keeping signing and approval centered on the user’s device.

New technical writing blog from IOG DeFi Product Consultant Rusty (@__fallen_icarus) The Seed of DeFi: Why the Future of Finance Must be Planted, Not Built Rusty designed both the non margin credit market and the order book, and created prototypes for each to demonstrate they work. Rusty’s core idea is simple. DeFi does not need more features. It needs the right foundation. Start with three primitives: • payments • a non margin credit market • an order book exchange Blockchains already provide payments. The DeFi Kernel adds the missing pieces: the credit market and the order book. Rusty believes this could become the killer dApp Cardano has been waiting for.

Cardano 2025 was all about funding infrastructure, and the results will materialize hopefully soon. Cardano 2026 should focus more on funding the application layer and businesses that build on the strong infrastructure. Having the best roads is nice, but someone needs to use them before we think about adding more roads!

Dingo treasury proposal is now live! Links in 🧵👇 Why this matters? Cardano needs node diversity for resilience. Dingo adds a Go implementation, broadening developer access while reducing risk. Where Dingo is today: - 1,226 commits - 205,500 lines added - 48 releases - boots from genesis and Mithril snapshots - 314/314 conformance tests passed - supports Plutus V1/V2/V3, with V4 work underway What this proposal funds over 12 months: - mainnet block-production readiness - Dijkstra + Leios delivery readiness - independent external security audit - operator docs and production hardening Funding request: 6,900,000 ADA (USD basis: $2.07M, full cost breakdown in the repo) Accountability: - milestone based disbursements - funds converted to stablecoin after disbursement - independent oversight board - public transaction journal - monthly and quarterly reporting - unused funds returned to treasury at expiration If you’re an SPO, DRep or builder, we’d value your review and questions.
