1) I was close friends with Clifford for the last 10 years of his life. He was one of the kindest people I've ever known and the real deal. He was part of #UFO crash retrievals. He had the largest private collection of official gov. documents on this matter. #UFOtwitter #UFOX

I see the IO proposals as a package deal. But by all accounts I see most dreps only voting yes on a small selection of the 9. This is going to lead to some extremely lopsided, fragmented, and piecemeal results that will fall short of what we need on #Cardano $ADA.

@BunkerDwellerYT 90s D&D art was peak.

To add I think there's a distinct art style for medieval fantasy aesthetics pre-Millennium, compared to how it is now I've seen people attribute this to the LotR films though I'd be curious to know if there are any other influences Just a visual style that we don't have anymore

@KaiKai2492 It also should remain Xbox exclusive.

Yeah Halo is just cooked now. Not only do none of these games need remakes but they certainly don’t need remakes that miss half the game and look/play worse. Just let it die man. We got 5 peak games and had a good run, just let the series rest atp. It’s lost all passion, creativity and is just being milked for cash now.

If you see this in our ratings, pay attention. Parameter Authority measures who controls the levers: > collateral types > withdrawal limits > contract upgrades And more importantly: how quickly those levers can be pulled. > No multi-approval. > No timelock. > One privileged key. > Instant execution. April 2026 alone: → Drift — ~$285M Privileged access was used to whitelist fake collateral and drain real assets. → KelpDAO / rsETH — ~$290M+ A single-point-of-trust bridge setup turned into a systemic DeFi shock. → Wasabi — ~$5M An apparent deployer/admin-key compromise enabled malicious upgrades and cross-chain drains. > Different protocols. > Different mechanics. > Same pattern. The risk was not only in the code. It was in the control layer. > Who can change the system? > How many people need to approve it? > Is there a timelock? > Can users react before execution? That is exactly what Xerberus ratings are designed to expose. DeFi does not only fail when smart contracts break. Sometimes it fails because one key can move too fast.

@Solofunk Love what the @xerberus team is doing. There's nothing else in crypto quite like it and it's desperately needed in the industry now.

@elpetejones Their focus as a multichain project that seeks to rate everything, has been on integrating into ethereum where the capital/need is. There is a lot of interest in XER over there and are now being mentioned as an ecosystem project. x.com/Solofunk/statu…

What the fuck happened to the $XER token? Did they have a deal with Charlie, too?

@DanielMMcGinn @Rach4Patriarchy This was an AI response.

This is textbook manipulative rhetoric. Abusive men cherry-pick stats on minor, one-sided violence—like the 2007 Whitaker study on young adults (which is the source of this stat)—to gaslight women, downplay their own aggression, and make victims doubt reality.(Textbook). Portraying basic restraint as 'male benevolence,' while ignoring men's overwhelming role in severe injuries, hospitalizations, and intimate partner homicides, is a tired abuser tactic. Genuine victims often stay silent from fear, trauma bonding, economic dependence, and the abuser's deliberate isolation—convincing them no one else would want them or that they can't survive without their captor aka abuser. This selective narrative doesn't clarify; it conceals and enables. @Rach4Patriarchy

In relationships where there is one sided violence, the woman is the aggressor 70% of the time. This proves that MOST men are benevolent, and women know they are safe enough to feel comfortable doing this ALL THE TIME.

It hasn’t funded DeFi well. The vast majority of that money has gone into DeFi protocols that never even achieved a mainnet release (no fault of catalyst). DeFi protocols are responsible for nearly all of the onchain activity on Cardano, and thus all of the transaction fee revenue generated by the treasury. DeFi makes or breaks a blockchain ecosystem, if you don’t carve out a large enough share of the DeFi market to achieve sustainability then you are toast. We need to win in this market; the acquisition of all other markets depend on it. If you don’t have a sizable portion of the DeFi market, you cannot break into the enterprise market. The only exception to this is Bitcoin and competing with Bitcoin for the store-of-value market is a death sentence. We don’t have intent / solver markets on mainnet (ie. No cow swap equivalent) We don’t have liquid restaking / shared security markets (ie. No EigenLayer equivalent) We don’t have onchain insurance protocols (no nexus mutual) We don’t have flash-loan services (No AAVE flash loans; makes 99% of automated trading strategies in other ecosystems completely infeasible here) We don’t have cross-margin perp futures (no GMX) We have no blockspace supply-chain protocols. We have no programmable DEX pools (hook contracts) We have no linked savings accounts (no PoolTogether) We have no crowdfunding protocols (no juicebox) We have no token streaming protocols (no superfluid) We have no composable leverage (no Gearbox) We have no self-repaying loans (alchemix) We have a few DEXs and one serious lending protocol, and that’s it. Even if these were the best protocols in the world it wouldn’t matter, because DeFi relies on composability, on cross protocol looping strategies, on the presence of all the other defi primitives which serve as building blocks to facilitate meaningful financial activity. With just a DEX all you can do is swap; the vast majority of financial activity involves more than just trading one asset for another.

OnlyFans girls are more honest. They sell sex outright. “Traditional” wives sell the illusion of purity, then weaponize it for leverage, security, and control inside marriage. At least the digital ones don’t pretend it’s love.

@RickMcCracken @RealSaidov Tbh, I see them all as a package deal at this point. But because it was requested to be piecemeal this time the results will be deeply lopsided as each drep picks a few yeses and nos. It'll be a mess. The only I feel is not essential is blockfrost. The one I want most is Pogun.

My top three picks are: 1. IO: Cardano High Assurance to maximize smart contract and infrastructure security. 2. IO: Consensus Initiative to maximize TPS 3. Indigo Innovation Proposal that’s in the Intersect voting package - drives users, adoption, and revenues. Other proposals have merit, some proposals are not necessary, but I see these three as need-to-have.

Cardano DReps, pls vote YES on IO: Consensus Initiative. This is Leios 💪 Cardano has previously led industry adoption in 2021-2022 with secure, research-driven foundation and solid decentralization. Today, as many other chains set the pace in TradFi adoption and RWAs, Leios is our opportunity to catch up and even surpass. It massively boosts TPS and enables much lower fees, while retaining Cardano's core security. We need to provide what the market and industry have chosen as important qualities, and keep that momentum to surge ahead. Let’s fckn GOOOO! 🚀🚀🚀

The Pogun treasury proposal is live, but we are already building to make Cardano the home of Bitcoin DeFi. Our credit market is currently being audited by @txpipe_tools and we look forward to the results from everyone’s hard work. 🤝 Read more on our proposal: pogun.io/treasury-propo…

@saniyafatma1278 Rao's is the only acceptable choice.

160 startups. 4 layers. 19 sub-categories. @Solofunk and @serotonin_hq mapped the entire onchain credit stack. Risk Analysis: 7 players. Every $ flowing through the other 153 needs us to do our job. Serotonin’s own words: “Risk Management is most critical to onchain credit’s next phase of growth.” Time to make DeFi safer App.xerberus.io

@rvcas @goofy_crisp @tweagio Yeah I know the differences. Leios alone introduces a modestly longer base finality window of roughly 3–5 minutes though as i understand it. Like a couple extra minutes or so, hence the "need" or pairing with peras. So that was my frane of reference.

@EdnStuff @goofy_crisp @tweagio not really, one is throughout and the other finality. They are complementary but not dependent

Our 2026 Cardano treasury proposal is live. 9 projects, 17 work packages, built around one goal: getting Peras and the infrastructure around it safely to mainnet. Read the full proposal and if you have any questions please reach out. adastat.net/governances/af…

@blinklabs_io @RickMcCracken @TheRealWeb3Kat @UtxoSaint Isn't peras also essential to be paired with leios?

It's the only solution on any table that I am aware of trying to solve the "accept enough transactions/fees on L1 to cover SPO costs" problem, which must be solved. Leios is what we have. I don't think we have an option. We've been working with IO on Leios, paid (prior by IO), then for free, and now paid again via the Dingo treasury proposal, so there's obviously bias. We're adopting Leios technology but would be significantly hindered if IO doesn't get funded for Consensus Initiative. They're doing 99% of the work.

It's a grave error for Cardano to continue to withdraw significant amounts of ADA from the Treasury at these prices for non-critical development and infrastructure. ADA is down -65% in the last year and current chain revenues are abysmal. How can we justify continuing to allocate Treasury resources to the same areas we have been, and if you're in favor of that, can you explain how that spending will improve Cardano's economic activity in the next 12-24 months?

@rvcas @goofy_crisp @tweagio Peras is essential for Leios though is it not?

@goofy_crisp @tweagio what's odd is basically no one is working with Tweag anymore as far as I know, so this proposal is just random

@Grummz I liked the games that followed like V and VI but the classic formula is hard to beat. I am friends with the composer Paul Romero! I wish we would see a revisit to the might and magic core RPGs too.

Did you know Heroes of Might and Magic is back? I had no idea, but Olden Era is in early access and has already sold 250,000 copies with 50k+ concurrent players. I haven't played this since the early days of HoM 1 and 2! I missed 3, which was supposed to be the best. Early reviews are Very Positive.

Sheer insanity. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta collectively are spending more money than the Manhattan Project *every single month*. More than 12x the Manhattan Project every year. And what they have got to show for it? None are making major profits on AI; none has a technical moat; a massive price war is inevitable. And few of their customers are seeing major returns on investment. Greatest capital misallocation in history.

The team @pogun_io is bringing Bitcoin DeFi to Cardano. Led by @omerh_ the proposal delivers a full BTC liquidity and credit engine: a non-margin credit market in Q2, a yield DApp in Q3, and a BitVM-powered trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge in Q4. The goal is to turn idle BTC into productive capital on Cardano, with mainnet launches planned through 2026. Read the proposal here: momentum.cardano.iog.io/proposals/pogun
