@decypher_xyz On point! 🫡

➡️ On the Cardano Summit Debate: 1. Yes, going to Token2049 in Singapore this year is a (very) significant presence for Cardano, as it will be the biggest crypto event of the year. 2. If the community wants Cardano to be able to make more connections and expand its horizons, events like this are great to connect builders, stakeholders, institutions and VCs 3. Feels like the Cardano Foundation should not be asking for basically the whole amount of money to make the Summit, but rather they should be the ones putting in their money - especially as they even had a profit from last year of 330k according the proposal deck 🤔 4. The community would gladly accept a middle ground proposal which reduced the request and expending to a reasonable basis Just my 2 cents on the matter. I haven’t read everything on the proposal, but it feels to me like this will be very divisive. Even if the proposal passes, it certainly won’t look good for the CF to not have a near unanimous result. This is the kind of stuff that NEEDS a wide consensus for it to be successful and positive for the community.

@CloverNodes @MNToken Wen airdrop to WMTx holders?

$MNTX is on 🔥

Not sure why I am picking on this one, but that's a good opportunity to give a fair shot at: what has @Cardano_CF done in the past 12 months (give or take)? So, in no particular order: *inhale* - Organised the Cardano Summit 2025 in Berlin attended by ~1000 Cardano enthusiasts (and even more online). - Timely voted on every single governance proposals with clear rationale. - Sponsored the third Buidler Fest in Buenos Aires, with 10 builders from CF attending, 5 of which gave talks or organized discussions. - Continued improving and providing free access to a governance voting tool (voting.cardanofoundation.org) for all DReps and CC members alike. - Revamped, restructured and completed the developers portal (developers.cardano.org) to reduce barrier to entry for newcomers. - Assisted IOG and SPOs during the November incident, providing network monitoring data and tools instrumental to the recovery. - Sponsored and facilitated access to Antithesis (antithesis.com) an advanced platform for system-wide property-based testing. - Minted $1,000,000 USDA to support DeFi liquidity on Cardano. - Organised and hosted ~25 roundtables (youtube.com/watch?v=BQI_Je…) and ~4 SPO roundtables (youtube.com/watch?v=9IjDL4…) with community members to talk and debate about Cardano's burning topics. - Released the Veridian identity wallet into Android and iOS app stores. - Conducted the 4th annual Cardano Developer Ecosystem Survey (cardano-foundation.github.io/state-of-the-d…) compiling useful insights from a large sample of Cardano developers. - Developed and curated Cardano Events (cardano.org/events/) to make Cardano events more easily discoverable. - Actively participated in most Intersect committees, following community elections, such as: the Intersect Steering Committee, the Civics Committee, the Product Committee, the Technical Steering Committee, the Open Source Committee, the Budget Committee and the Growth and Marketing Committee. - Launched the Cardano Venture Hub (cardanofoundation.org/en/academy/ven…), with the first cohort going through an acceleration program *right now*. - Worked with DFX & BrickTowers to integrate ADA as a payment solution (cardanofoundation.org/blog/ada-accep…) in supermarket PoS. - Developed and deployed the necessary off-chain infrastructure for programmable tokens (CIP-113) while contributing to evolution of the underlying sub-standards (cardanofoundation.org/blog/programma…). - Continued the work on the IBC bridge (github.com/cardano-founda…) to connect Cardano to the Cosmos ecosystem (and to any IBC-compatible chain really). - Maintained and further developed a variety of Open Source projects, such as (but not limited to): Aiken, Yaci (store and devkit), Ogmios, Kupo, cardano-wallet, cardano-addresses, elm-cardano, Originate, Rosetta, - Published 'I Can Aiken' book on book.io (book.io/book/i-can-aik…), a complete/end-to-end course on Aiken. - Recorded various episodes of the 'Let's Talk Cardano' podcast (open.spotify.com/show/6bLMheFsI…). - Published 9 case studies (cardanofoundation.org/case-studies) of businesses integrating with Cardano. - Answered and defended Cardano to various regulators and institutions such as the SEC Crypto Task Force, the European Data Protection Board or the Financial Conduct Authority on the regulation of crypto-asset activities. - Initiated and supported the development of Konduit: an open source, trustless L2 protocol that connects Cardano and the Bitcoin Lightning network. (konduit.channel) - Attended crypto and blockchain events all along the year to ensure Cardano presence everywhere: Rare Evo, Paris Blockchain Week, Women-in-Tech summit, Azteca 2025, Blockchain Rio, Buidler Fest 2026, JCon, Digital Assets Forum, Teamz summit, ... - Supported the development of Amaru, an alternative Cardano node, by allocating 2 engineers to the project, improving Cardano's resilience and decentralisation. - Published a full financial report of the foundation's accounting directly on Cardano, while providing the tool and methodology to do so entirely as open source (cardano.org/news/2025-07-0…) - Assisted hundreds of exchanges in their Cardano onboarding or upgrades, especially when the network gets a little bumpy. - Kept running Cardano bootstrapping relays still (unfortunately) necessary to ensure Cardano's dynamic availability until the complete roll-out of Ouroboros Genesis. - Welcomed and on-boarded various Cardano ambassadors to the ambassador program. - Worked alongside IOG, EMURGO, Intersect and the Midnight Foundation as *the Pentad* to integrate top industry actors with the Cardano ecosystem such as: USDCx, Pyth or Layer 0. - Exposed ten of thousands of blockchain enthusiasts to Cardano through the Binance Academy course on fundamentals (binance.com/en/academy/tra…) - Helped hundred of builders get started or unstuck on Cardano through the various community channels (X, discord, Github, Reddit, ...) - Contributed and helped getting to "last check" three important CIPs such as CIP-0113 (Programmable token-like assets), CIP-0170 (KERI-backed metadata attestations) or CIP-0171 (On-chain Smart Contract Bytecode Verification). And... I'll stop here knowing very well I am forgetting many things (my apologies to the efforts I forgot), there's just too much.

This will probably come off as insensitive, but honestly I don’t give AF. One of the reasons I’m on here less is because every time I open X lately it’s 90% concern trolling, rage bait, whining, and pearl-clutching. “Cardano was supposed to do this for me… do that for me…” "Cardano was supposed to get me a brand new pair of shoes!" Constructive criticism is fine. But if you’re just throwing out problems with no solutions, you’re not adding value — you’re just making noise. Here’s the reality: Cardano is infrastructure. That’s it. It doesn’t owe you a living. It doesn’t owe you success. It’s like a highway — it exists so you can use it. It’s not supposed to magically levitate you to your destination. I care about my business, my customers, and the people invested in what we’re building. So no — I’m not engaging in pearl-clutching debates. We’re building. We’re building a bigger, stronger Palmyra. All I need from Cardano is solid infrastructure and the tools to do business. The rest is on us.

Situation: You (customer): have Ada (or any native assets) Merchant: Accepts Bitcoin lightning as payment solution, knows nothing about Cardano or ADA. You're buying something, merchant shows you a lightning invoice as a QR code, you scan it with your phone and pay with ADA. The merchant receives BTC. Everyone's happy.

@elraulito @scheff_matt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
