Eilert 🇳🇴

I commented on your post about funding the first Cardano Summit proposal. I actually said "It is not the right decision". Even if I still believe that, I do apologize for my wording. I should rather have asked what your thoughts about abandoning the sustainability path or similar that actually created a constructive dialogue. Governance is new to everyone, also delegators and direct voters. We all want what is best for Cardano, but sometimes emotions take the wheel for a moment. I do appreciate you, Jason 🙏

Say what you want about the open klout chasing nature of us Dreps on X, welcome to politics. Its dirty, feelings get hurt and everyone has their own personal agenda, but delegators get to vote for their reps and the reps can campaign their stances however they want. But it works. X is the CSpan of Cardano.

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever. Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote. But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for. It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever. So let me show up the way I should. I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard. To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward. I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

The Blockfrost Platform 1.0.0 is live 🥳 Cardano stake pools can now run it alongside their block-producing node, serving Blockfrost API traffic and earning ADA for what they handle. Here's what's new 👇

@DanielTetsuyama Congratulations 🎉

Call me Papa $PALM

every call now starts with me explaining that I'm in fact not an alcoholic

@totehmoon69 @Sssebi It is not public information. I'm pretty sure IO still holds $ADA, but we're still talking fractions of the genesis $ADA. CF still holds hundreds of millions of $ADA. I have no idea with Emurgo.

@Eilert @Sssebi So all the IO genesis ada is spend?

What's stopping the Cardano founding entities to use the funds they got allocated when the entities were created? Why does everything need to be funded with the Cardano Treasury. No blaming, I'm just trying to understand. Weren't those funds meant to help them continue dev?

@totehmoon69 @Sssebi IO had the same costs with researchers and developers between 2018 and 2021 when the price had an extra 0. If they didn't do anything this period, like the CF and Emurgo, there wouldn't be any chain and $ADA would have no value.

@Eilert @Sssebi Bruh, if they received the $ amount in ADA, and like you said the price of ADA was lower, wouldn't that mean they now have way more value in dollars

@MinswapIntern @Grayscale The clock is ticking. x.com/i/status/20527…

The @Grayscale Cardano $ADA ETF was filed months ago with no word from the SEC When $ADA ETF?🤔

@astroboysoup @midgardprotocol

@Eilert @midgardprotocol See if you can find the hidden easter egg surprise on the website.

I've put together a @midgardprotocol tracker. It shows git commit progress against milestones based on their original proposal. It's mostly automated, pulling data in via GitHub. Let me know if I got anything wrong.

@lilybrodi My grandfather once said: "Cardano is everywhere. You just have to open your eyes." True story.

@Eilert oops i missed cardano there

ICYMI ALGORAND HAS INSTANT FINALITY $ALGO

Grayscale is actively increasing their exposure to $ADA, but when will the Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF (GADA) go live? Short answer: Before 23 October, 2026. After the SEC approved the new generic listing standards last year, there is a streamlined process for spot ETFs: 1. Eligibility Gate: 6-month CME futures listing. 2. Filing: S-1 registration. 3. Review and launch (max. 75 days until trading starts). $ADA CME Futures launched in February and will reach 6 months on August 9. Grayscale filed the S-1 with the original application, so the SEC have maximum of 75 days from August 9.

@invalid_eutxo @willow_kit

Why is it that at events, people’s camera lenses are greasy af… @willow_kit did you use your phone for this?

@nimuepool Good grief😂

Thank you for the 1000 ada donation I guess...

@NaVi_GaT0R I agree.

Short story Large Institutional investor to me: "So much in-fighting in the community." Cardano community needs to realize that institutions and enterprises are watching

We were sick of all the drama around the empty booth picture that was taken after the hall was closed, so we got some help from @IOHK_Charles to help keep it manned today.
