Cardano is setting up the narrative to have one of the most hated rallies in all of crypto rallies.

@Jennycitalinda You nailed it!

To all the people looking to fork the Yoroi wallet, beware: 🚨 ⚠️ Mantaining a wallet is not that simple. It's not a profitable business, requires a lot of maintenance, and nothing can prepare you for the toll on your mental health that comes with the customer support needs.

Thanks for the mention Mr. Cata! We are alive and building. Hardware wallet ✅ For individuals, DAOs, companies and institutions that need professional business operations around wallets and digital assets, we recommend our partner @BlockSign_io. Please have a look. Hardware @KeystoneWallet running ✅

We have plenty of other wallets deserving of our support. It’s time people moved on from Yoroi, as well as all associated DReps (Yoroi and Emurgo). @GeroWallet @vesprwallet @eternlwallet @lace_io @BeginWallet @TyphonWallet Daedalus. I believe all with hardware wallet support. @KeystoneWallet @Ledger

The hottest topic: Stablecoin Open USD 1. What is Open USD? Open USD, ticker OUSD, is a new U.S.-dollar stablecoin initiative by Open Standard. It was announced on June 30, 2026 and is expected to go live later in 2026. Open Standard describes it as a stablecoin for global money movement, built around three ideas: no mint/redeem fees for businesses, shared reserve economics, and collaborative governance through an independent company backed by partners. The important point: Open USD is not just another stablecoin. It is a distribution coalition. The official partner list includes payment networks, banks, fintechs, exchanges, wallets, infrastructure providers and blockchain ecosystems, including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, American Express, BlackRock, BNY, Standard Chartered, Google, Shopify, Coinbase, Fireblocks, MetaMask, Solana, Base, Stellar, Polygon, Aptos Labs, Plasma and Tempo. 2. Is it good for users? Potentially yes, but not automatically: For users, the positive development is more competition. If Open USD really creates cheaper, more open stablecoin infrastructure, users could benefit from better availability, faster payments, more wallet/exchange support and potentially lower costs. Reuters reports that Open USD is designed to let businesses mint and redeem without cost or volume limits, while reserve earnings are shared with partners after a management fee. But the user benefit depends on whether companies actually pass those advantages through. A stablecoin can be cheaper at the infrastructure level while the end user still pays fees through wallets, exchanges, payment apps or merchants. 3. Biggest pros The biggest pro is distribution. Open USD has a very strong partner network from day one. Stablecoins win not only through technology, but through where they are accepted, who integrates them, and whether merchants, banks, wallets and payment processors actually use them. The second pro is competition with USDT and USDC. Fortune describes Open USD as a serious challenge to Tether and Circle, and reports that Tether and Circle are not part of the consortium. That matters because the stablecoin market has been highly concentrated around those two issuers. The third pro is governance and shared economics. Open Standard positions Open USD as a stablecoin where governance and economics are shared with the businesses growing adoption, rather than controlled by one dominant issuer. That could be attractive to large institutions that do not want to depend entirely on Circle or Tether. 4. Biggest contras The biggest risk is that the launch details are still incomplete. Open USD is announced, but not live. Fortune reported that Open Standard had not disclosed which blockchain the stablecoin will operate on. The official partner list includes several chain ecosystems, but a partner listing is not the same as a confirmed technical deployment. The third risk is centralization by another name. Open USD may be more open than a single-issuer model, but it is still a consortium of very large financial and technology companies. That can be good for adoption, but it does not automatically mean neutral public infrastructure. This is a real positive fact: Cardano’s native-asset model is technically elegant for stablecoins. Cardano’s developer documentation explains that native tokens are tracked directly by the ledger, without a smart contract for basic transfers, reducing contract-execution risk for simple token movement. 5. How could BlockSign add Open USD? Open USD creates more stablecoin competition. More competition creates more need for trust infrastructure. That is BlockSign’s field. Our conclusion: Open USD is a positive market signal because it increases stablecoin competition and moves the discussion from “who issued the biggest coin?” to “who controls distribution, trust, governance and real-world usage?”

Just a reminder, you don’t need to trust our word you can verify.

@KeystoneWallet @eternlwallet @vesprwallet Do we support @KeystoneWallet at Begin? LADIES & GENTLEMEN, YES WE DO!

🚨 SecondFi (aka Yoroi) wallets are getting drained. If you've used it, assume your wallet is compromised. Do this immediately: 1. New wallet → @eternlwallet or @vesprwallet 2. Move funds now 3. Get a hardware wallet Your Cardano stack deserves cold wallet security 🛡️

Be safe out there and follow the official advice.

It’s like that! Be careful out there. Not every interview request serves a good purpose. Many just want your money. They steal your biometrics within the video call and your voice. This is no joke. This happens today, daily.

@IOGroup Really? Another Hannah? I‘m confused now! Is IOG a @Sokosumi user? …🤔

Building digital trust without being ISO 27001 certified is just a well-formatted promise. At BlockSign GmbH, we don't ask for trust, we get audited for it. ISO 27001 certified for a year now and just past our annual surveillance audit 🚀 Digital trust shouldn't a vibe. It should be audited year after year. A big shout out to our trust partners: @Swisscom Trust Services & @nbxcom. Please find more info regarding our ISO certification here:

@SyncAI_Network @Cerkoryn @TevoSaks @dRepWatch @CivitasExplorer @cardano_govtool @tempo_vote @CardanoCube You build a great tool so we therefore feel committed to integrating Cardano homegrown tools. Thanks for building such tools!

@Cerkoryn @TevoSaks @dRepWatch @CivitasExplorer @cardano_govtool @tempo_vote @CardanoCube @BeginWallet Absolutely. You're right. We actually built our entire platform around the principle of making governance tooling and features more accessible which will in turn help improve participation.

Thank you for the handful few who recognised what a small team and large newtork is trying to build and provide for Cardano Ecosystem. civitasexplorer.com/budget/69fc8c2… I'm in belief that Cardano needs new type of utility and way to engage with governance and treasury management.

Wallets & Asset Operation Platforms will be as essential as browsers! Nothing changed, just the users. B2B and B2C needs different wallets. That’s how we work with @BlockSign_io. We are the B2C division.

NO UNNECESSARY DOXXING! BlockSign Verify is modular by design: from captcha-style anti-bot protection and Proof of Human to stronger identity checks, KYC, or KYB where required. For light verification flows, data can stay within the browser session. For higher-assurance flows, only the required information is processed according to the chosen setup. Verify what you need. Protect what you don’t. That is how digital organizations can build trust without sacrificing privacy.

@io_tilia @jpecst @adamailme We‘re back! Sorry!

@jpecst @adamailme @BeginWallet Yeah, they've told me that already. At the time when they were still promoting it they said I'd get life long free access if I buy the top tier. I took it seriously 😆

Hello @adamailme , I can't login to your wallet. There's an error 500. Loging in with @BeginWallet doesn't work either. Please take a look.

@jpecst @io_tilia @adamailme We‘re back! Sorry!

@io_tilia @adamailme @BeginWallet Shame on us, i got the gold tier thingy and barely used it Lol

@francisluz @Padierfind @trivolvetech @NucastIO They are awesome! Thanks for the support!

@Padierfind @trivolvetech @NucastIO Yes, and you can pay with @BeginWallet

Not enough Cardano companies are using the huge marketing chance that having an agent live on Sokosumi gives them. This is from a Masumi Pitch Deck for a very very large client. As you can see NuAuth by @NucastIO is on there. We're actively pitching for other companies in front of the world largest companies daily.

Regarding point 4) …the first 4) Hope at least you remember that you have a great Beginner sports shirt from us! 🥹 Let’s see if we manage to open at least one POS in Germany together with @DFX_swiss! Cross your fingers, we are working on this already on the sidelines. …not toxity 🙏

1) You confuse Defi with Blockchain. Im glad that Defi works as usecase, but there is more to this beautiful tech than one thing which works great already. If not the CF, who else would try to find smth else that sticks. I for one am still dreaming about non-speculative usecases. If you prefer speculative ones, this is fine. Noone criticizes you either for that. Live and let live and no need to be toxic. 2) CF deployed capital into DeFi just a few months ago. It was a deliberate choice before to not meddle with the market, but yes, CF completely rewrote its strategy/is in the process of rewriting it about how to use its assets. Even you should recognize that going from 0 to 100 isnt happening overnight and wouldnt be healthy either. Noone would want CF to dominate Cardano's DeFi space either. 3) the case study you quote is about urble and their mother company. urble is a cool app. try it and create a challenge for me. ill send you my urble id. 4) because of that stupid non-Defi usecase, you can get your groceries in ada - directly from your vespr wallet. no institutional bullshit. And nope. CF didnt fund anything about that. 4) you are super welcome to join us in our office for a few weeks, see for yourself that we arent the evil swiss fucks you may think we are, and teach us a few things about DeFi. Collaboration! Not toxicity <3

CF Cardano accelerator program tracks: 1. Digital product passports: tracking the life of a product 2. Verified identity: proving who is who 3. Traceability: knowing where things come from 4. Responsible AI: connecting honest data to the world You know what all of the above have in common? Zero volume, zero monthly transactions, zero TVL, and they don't even show up on DefiLlama until you scroll for so long your hand breaks. I would not give you a single cent.

@jpecst @io_tilia @adamailme Hey @io_tilia and @jpecst, we're looking into it.
