@alxaex @Ryun1_ @Griffin_AI Thank you! I'm not able to send you a DM.

@RodrigoPacini @Ryun1_ @Griffin_AI Sure!👍🏻 DM me pls and we can organize a call

Before I spend too much time on it Would it be a benefit to people to have a CIP which lists the 'common' namings for protocol parameters? something like:

@alxaex @Ryun1_ @Griffin_AI Hello Alex, I'd like to know more about the development of Griffin's AI tool. Could you recommend someone I could contact?

Incidentally just recently had a conversation about this with @Griffin_AI, who trains an AI on Cardano governance (proposals), and we stumbled over an output of it where it assessed the tau (20->10) proposal and called it treasury cut in one sentence and treasury growth rate in another. No strong opinion on whether this should be a CIP, but a glossary of sorts, potentially in the same repo as the CIPs, might be of value.

Algorand Foundation lays off a quarter of its staff. The crypto industry is facing a difficult period. Many companies are pivoting to AI. GitHub commits are falling. With devs, users are leaving. Important context for Treasury spending. Maybe it's time to invest smartly.

💥 ADA just got listed as a Digital Commodity in the new SEC–CFTC crypto classification framework. Same category as BTC and ETH. After years of regulatory uncertainty, #Cardano is now formally recognized as a commodity asset. That reinforces Cardano’s position among major crypto assets.

Join us this Wednesday for a Cardano Over Coffee X Space to discuss the Orion Fund Proposal. The Draper Dragon team will join us to walk through the proposal and answer questions directly from the Cardano community. 📅 Wednesday, March 18 ⏰ 10:30 AM EST ⏰ 7:30 AM PST ⏰ 3:30 PM CET ⏰ 12:30 AM JST (3/19) Bring your questions and join the conversation.

@Shaggyz5150 Hey mate, I spend 90% of my time on X criticizing the ecosystem, I think a bit of good news every now and then is good for morale.

@RodrigoPacini Still not going to save that asset. The internal team of cardano is shooting themselves in the foot letting the dapp people run around robbing their community with impunity.

📢 GA: Approve Cardano Foundation as New Managing Entity of Project Catalyst 🎫 Type: InfoAction Abstract: The Cardano Foundation (CF), supported by Input Output Group (IOG), is requesting community approval to be appointed as the new managing entity for Project Catalyst. This will allow for full and effective transition of Catalyst operations and responsibilities from IOG to CF in accordance with the statutes of the Catalyst Foundation Company (CFC). This transition will ensure continuity of operations and minimise delays on milestone reviews and eligible payouts for teams delivering against projects in Funds 10-14. This approval request and Info Action is unrelated to Intersect’s role as the constitutionally mandated budget administrator for funds 14 to 16. This request is also unrelated to the already announced return to the Cardano Treasury of the previously approved allocations for Fund 15 and 16. This Info Action will be considered approved, if greater than 50% of the active DRep voting stake votes YES upon the action's expiration. 🔗 Details: cardanogov.cc/activity/gov_a… #Cardano #Governance #Vote

@justanOM @JaromirTesar So what's your solution then? Besides a vague idea about letting the community manage it?

@RodrigoPacini @JaromirTesar That's because there is no community. Lack of funding from people like CF is the reason we are even in this situation at all. I'd rather see Catalyst die than give more unearned $ADA to CF or Emurgo. All these teams might actually realize they have to market to win.

Should the Cardano Foundation get approval from DReps to become the new managing entity of Catalyst?

@justanOM @JaromirTesar Why don't you post with your main account?

@RodrigoPacini @JaromirTesar Good for you tho brother. Seriously. This is my alt account and my main is known throughout all of Cardano I've worked with some of the biggest teams and have managed the biggest communities I'm not speaking as a random person and I'm tired of everyone claiming they know more

Gm Cardano, The Beyond MVG team is running a working session on the governance metrics going into the State of Governance report. We will review selected metrics and insights, assess whether they actually reflect reality, and point out what’s missing. This isn’t a general discussion. It’s a structured review. If you’re a DRep, SPO, CC member, building tools, or actually paying attention to governance, you should be in this session. 24 March · 15:00 UTC Register here: luma.com/pi8vvo3q #Cardano

Join us tomorrow for another Roundtable Talk. Topic: Cardano Governance, A Debate on NCL & Constitutional Clarity We’ll explore the ongoing discussions around the NCL and how the Constitution is interpreted, particularly when it comes to whether a Constitutional Committee vote is required for a proposal to be considered valid. Participants: Community; @ElderM Delegated Representatives: @yutazzz @eternlwallet @NicolasC3rny (representing @Cardano_CF) Constitutional Committees: @KtorZ @phil_uplc @kenerik (representing @tingvard) @phillewisit (representing @EasternCardano) @blockjock2017 (representing @cardanocuria) @AdamRusch (representing @AceAlliance_CC) @shuwaku2 (representing Cardano Japan Council) More details below 👇

I've been involved with Catalyst for 6 years and I've read several people saying that the community should take on leadership. I was one of the biggest advocates for this, but in those 6 years, 0 people have come close to coordinating something like that. CF is the founding entity most open to improvements and openness for the community to take on part of the leadership and participate. I'm not going to wait for a miracle to happen with the community taking over something when in 6 years nobody has come close, it's an illusion.

@RodrigoPacini @JaromirTesar I already told you that it should be community operated or Catalyst should just disappear and CF can do their job for once in a decade. Asking them to control Catalyst after ruining the reputation of Cardano and not investing here is actually hilarious to me

@justanOM @JaromirTesar no

@RodrigoPacini @JaromirTesar Are you working for CF?

@justanOM @JaromirTesar I'm still waiting for your recommendation of another option besides CF.

@RodrigoPacini @JaromirTesar Sorry. CF is not competent. They have the worst track record of any company in this ecosystem. They should have bootstrapped this ecosystem back in 2020. They should have got us USDC back in 2018. Now they are the only team with money left from Genesis pretending to be smart.
