🔥HOSKINSON ON SECONDFI EXPLOIT: “CARDANO IS NOT BROKEN” Charles Hoskinson says the issue is limited to one application, adding there is no problem with the Cardano protocol. “Cardano is not broken. Cardano, the network, was not hacked,” the founder said. SecondFi, a Cardano DeFi app, reportedly lost $2.4M $ADA, with SlowMist estimating total losses to exceed $20M.

THE POWER OF THE COMMUNITY 5am.earth proposal went through thank to the Cardano community. Members we met along the way, and many we never met, showed up for this proposal. It brought incredible energy and reminded us all of the reason we joined Cardano in the first place. The community reviewed the proposal, asked hard questions, pushed back on the numbers, and demanded clarity. We appreciate every piece of feedback and every concern raised, it makes us better. There are many people to thank. Every action counted. Every message reposted, every like, every rationale written, every space that gave us a platform, every hard question asked, every criticism offered. All of it mattered. We are grateful to each and every one of you. This was more than great teamwork. This was community work. And with that comes responsibility, ours. The responsibility to keep delivering. To bring real value back to the chain and to the people who backed us. To prove on the main stage that Cardano can lead in real-world adoption and help disrupt the industries that need disrupting. We have already come a long way. But this is just the beginning. Let's make things happen. 5am.earth p.s. I took this picture last year in the west of France (probably around 5am) - feeling grateful

I genuinely believe Cardano NEEDS this. Deep collaboration, innovative tech, transparent on-chain Bitcoin infrastructure + liquidity. Let's change the game! 🔵🤝🟠 Encourage your Drep to vote YES for Alchemy and to build the growth infrastructure Bitcoin needs here on Cardano

It 5AM WAKE UP CARDANO !! Infra is essential, but what the market shows us is that it is not enough. 5am.earth is part of the solution. @YoramBenzvi

Let's take another look at our latest product, Alchemy✨ Bitcoin has become the world's leading digital asset, but it still presents a challenge: for long-term holders, it isn't productive. Alchemy, in partnership with @CharmsDev, is designed to solve this by transforming a shared BTC reserve into two complementary assets tailored to different risk profiles. 🔥 FIRE (BTC+) - High-temperature Bitcoin FIRE concentrates Bitcoin's volatility into a single asset. As BTC appreciates, FIRE holders capture amplified upside. In return, FIRE absorbs downside volatility first during market declines. The result is a BTC-backed asset designed for users seeking greater exposure to Bitcoin's long-term growth potential. 🧊 ICE (BTC-) - Low-temperature Bitcoin ICE takes the opposite approach. By filtering out much of Bitcoin's short-term volatility, ICE provides more predictable, USD-denominated growth while remaining backed by the same underlying BTC reserve. The relationship between FIRE and ICE is what makes Alchemy unique. FIRE holders provide the volatility buffer that supports ICE's stability, while ICE holders enable FIRE's amplified exposure. The model draws inspiration from the growing demand for Bitcoin-backed credit products seen in traditional markets, but reimagines them as a transparent, blockchain-native system. Instead of relying on corporate issuers and intermediaries, FIRE and ICE are created through protocol rules and direct BTC redemption. The broader idea is simple: Not every Bitcoin holder wants the same thing - some want productivity, and some want predictability. Alchemy makes both possible from the same Bitcoin reserve.
