Sundae Labs is proud to have worked on Acropolis!
With our contribution over the last 9 months, Acropolis was able to reach a key threshold of usefulness. Acropolis right now makes a lot of sense as a framework to build customizable data pipelines integrating with the Cardano node-to-node protocols.
Case in point:
- We've been able to use it as the foundation for a ground up rewrite of the "Scooper" software run by each of the sundae scoopers to execute orders on the sundae protocol.
- Our team has helped pilot a proof of concept built with acropolis for those running midnight nodes that replaces Cardano DB sync. On mainnet this could lead to savings of up to 70% on the cost to operate a midnight node effectively!
That being said, we also agree that now is the right time for IO to reevaluate priorities and applaud the return of funds to the Treasury.
Acropolis is at a useful checkpoint that other builders can benefit from, and the "last mile of node diversity" is now being responsibly tackled by several other teams (@Amaru_Cardano, @blinklabs_io, @hlabs_tech, and more).

We’re changing course to prioritize Cardano’s growth. We are ceasing development on Acropolis to focus on chain abstraction and cancelling Tiered Pricing to align with the Leios roadmap. This decision returns ₳4.1M to the Treasury. We’re putting resources where they deliver the most value for the community. Full update: spr.ly/6016B6QhFG
