From over 1,500+ applications to just 25 finalist teams in the heart of Uyo Sandbox’25 was nothing short of inspiring. As a mentor, it was a privilege to contribute what I know and support teams building real-world solutions with blockchain and AI. I came to share, but I left learning even more. My mission has always been to show how blockchain can redesign systems to be trustless, transparent, and resilient by design, systems that can’t be evil because they’re built differently from the ground up. Seeing the passion, collaboration, and innovation from each team reminded me why I believe so strongly in this space. To all the participants, you showed up, you built, and you inspired. Big congratulations to the winning team, and respect to everyone who took that stage. 🙌 At @UnifiedCardano we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible by leveraging the Cardano blockchain to create lasting impact. Sandbox’25 wasn’t just a hackathon, it was a glimpse into the builders shaping the future. Let’s keep pushing. 🔧🚀 @IOHK_Charles @CardanoBook @Cardano_CF @Catalyst_onX @RemoStart @aiken_eng @IagonOfficial @SenatorIhenyen @EseWilliams5 @lanremessan @UbioObu @nmkr_io @TheUnpopularEL @emurgo_io @snek ⬇️ O.P/in/S T Y L E 😎

Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks. Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services. The initiative begins with a target of £250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients. Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.

@IOGroup LFG.

@CoinDesk @MidnightNtwrk Real adoption begin.

Spark AirNodes didn’t just expand connectivity. They brought digital learning into classrooms where it wasn’t previously possible. In Lahore, a Spark AirNode helped connect a school to reliable internet. Students accessed interactive lessons. Teachers introduced digital content. Platforms like @GiggleAcademy became part of the learning experience. Because connectivity is only the beginning. What matters is what it enables. 130,000+ Spark AirNodes deployed. 3M+ users connected. $1.5M+ distributed to Operators. This is what the model proved. The Last Spark closes public access. What it enabled doesn’t stop. Secure yours. 📅 01.04.26.
