Hey Javier Just so you're aware. I feel like I'm in a position where I have to renounce all my ambassadorships and deregister as a DRep, be excluded from Catalyst or any future Treasury funds, to remain impartial and neutral in all debates. I prob shouldn't interview or talk to any projects either to remain neutral. So what Charles is doing by defending my ability to participate in the ecosystem is appreciated. I won't be too hasty and make a decision just yet. I'll give myself time to think it over, but the number of DMs, emails, and YouTube comments attacking me, calling me a scammer, paid shill that would sell my own mother, asking me to vote for this, to help them with that, or telling me not to vote for something is all getting to be too much. I came to Cardano for the tech and stayed for the people. But oh boy, the people at the moment are too much for me to handle. I do know this is all coming down to money. The price of ADA isn't helping. It brings out the worst in people, but I do hope it brings out the best, too. I'm going to go dark on X for a week and will be uncontactable. All my social posts are AI-generated, so if you see me post, it's all scheduled and automated.

We will be offering a new type of loan for @IagonOfficial The collateral? $IAG directly from the source. More details soon 😤

After around 4 months of back and forth with Pentad & Intersect. Pentad steering committee decided not to reimburse Iagon for the Fireblocks integration fee. @IntersectMBO recommend it to be approved but Pentad committee decided against. This integration is a necessary stop-gap solution in order to provide institutional custody solutions for Cardano. If it goes well, this will lead to native integration. This is the solution that was recommend by Fireblocks to show ARR. We also made steps early on to contact a host of dApps, market makers, capital funds, that could benefit from this solution to see what type of features they would like to see within the integration. We even invited CF's Global Head of Technical Integrations @michaeldotada to make sure the features were in alignment with the goals. Michiel also attended every meeting leading up to the commercial agreement with Fireblocks. This is Cardano wide integration, helps every CNT and at the same time provides $ADA native staking and voting features. It is worth noting that FB wanted to work with us on this stop-gap integration and not the pentad members. They had the option of working with others and choose not to. Prior to pentad formalizing, we were assured by many of their members that they would have no objection to this reimbursement. Our plan was to go to the treasury prior to their pentad proposal being proposed within the Cardano treasury. We waited because of these verbal assurances. @IagonOfficial will still continue this integration for Cardano and pay for the full fee. We don't plan to go to the treasury for a refund. We hope you like what we deliver. Excited for the end result!




AWS just learned the hard way: A missile can take down a data center. It can’t take down a decentralized network. @IagonOfficial distributes storage across nodes worldwide. No single building. No single point of failure. No single target. Centralization is a vulnerability. Decentralization is the answer.
