People massively underestimate demand for non margin loans. The pawn market alone is ~$40B despite terrible infrastructure and high costs. What most people in DeFi miss: Borrowers care more about lower payments than max LTVs. By offering lower LTVs, borrowers can negotiate lower interest rates while avoiding liquidation risk entirely. As Rusty Shapiro (@__fallen_icarus) explains, DeFi solved leveraged trading, not lending. Read the blog ↓ iog.io/news/non-margi…

📢 Liqwid governance temperature check is live We’re proposing to make Liqwid V2 core smart contracts source-available under BUSL 1.1 (4-year term), covering oracle, lending markets, and governance infrastructure. I’m extremely proud of this one. This is a moment that many in the Cardano ecosystem, as well as users, partners, and integrators, have been waiting on for a long time. It reflects a shift toward greater transparency and composability for Liqwid, while still protecting the protocol as it continues to scale.

@strikeperps 💡

We’re excited to introduce the next level of composable DeFi: LP assets can soon be used as collateral on Strike 🔥 You can take your LP tokens from the USDCx/USDM pair and deposit them into Strike to fund your account for trading or supplying liquidity. This is the largest stablecoin pool on Cardano and people will be able to: 1. earn money from the dex liquidity pool 2. earn money from the Strike vault Double yield, because everyone makes money on Strike. Launching next week 🗓️

@SundialProtocol @hackenclub So how is the btc held & transfered

No, there is no wrapped BTC in any form here ☀️ The product audited was our BTC Yield locker, which is used for Custodial BTC Yield. While it is not our flagship non-custodial yield product (which is also separate from any form of wrapped BTC), it is our first product tailored for Bitcoin HODLers.

Sundial Audit Complete☀️ @hackenclub has completed its audit of the Sundial Testnet and our BTC Yield Lockers. Only 11 vulnerabilities were identified, with the highest-severity issue rated Medium. All issues have now been resolved. This is a key milestone as Sundial continues building secure, institutionally ready BTC yield infrastructure! Check out the full audit here: hacken.io/audits/sundial… Stay tuned for our X Space with the Hacken team coming next week on 19 May 11:00 EST🎙️: x.com/i/spaces/1mGPa…

@wmchain How can we get $WMTX @wmchain Cardano native pair listed on @Ledger , @Ledger_Support ?? Only tge ticker was changed ? Why desist from ledger live? @MrTelecoms

billions of people already carry the hardware the usage already exists the infrastructure is already needed some projects are still searching for a use case $WMTX is plugging into one

The foundation doesn't build itself. IO's 2026 maintenance proposal keeps Cardano's node, ledger, and infrastructure running at 99.99% uptime - while Ethereum and Solana spend 2–4x more to do the same. We asked for less. We're delivering more.

a lot of crypto is still trying to manufacture activity World Mobile Chain is connected to telecom usage at global scale 3.1M daily active users on Token Terminal show the network

@MauroAndreoliA @lace_io @IOGroup @IOHK_Charles @alejandromr @LucasMacchia2 @jj_siler @FedeWeill @blockenfy @gcba @MinswapIntern The browser wallet design was a big disappointment.. how can one create a beautiful mobile wallet yet awful browser wallet? 1. Charts are unreadable 2.Remove wallet from side bar. 3.Make objects visible 4.Make text readable @lace_io

Focus Group on Lace Mobile 🟣 The community is extremely important, and ultimately, they are the first end users. Their feedback is truly invaluable. That is why, together with the Lace Mobile engineering team in Argentina, we will be bringing the community together on June 17th at the Input Output offices to collaboratively gather ideas, suggestions, and improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience, while also evaluating the impact and feasibility of each proposal. Listening to users is, ultimately, a fundamental principle that must continue to drive innovation forward. We look forward to hearing your ideas and implementing them.

@pogun_io There is a strong desire for @pogun_io to operate entirely for the benefit of the community, implying that any community funds utilized would be community-owned and strategically deployed to advance the Cardano ecosystem through cross-chain integrations.

One objection is that private capital should fund this instead. Private capital has had years to build non-margin Bitcoin credit infrastructure on Cardano. It hasn't. Treasury funding creates ecosystem alignment. Pogun brings external Bitcoin capital onto Cardano, grows TVL, and returns revenue to the Treasury. Which in turn helps to fund other projects. Private capital cannot replicate that alignment. This is precisely the kind of investment a sovereign treasury exists to make.

If you're still wondering ”why yes?” about the Pogun Treasury request. This thread’s for you. 🫵 The Pogun proposal is not a grant. It is a decision about consequential infrastructure for Cardano, and here's why it matters.

NEWS: NEW U.S. CRYPTO BILL APPEARS TO FAVOR CARDANO STYLE NETWORKS 😱😱😱 The proposed U.S. crypto market structure framework reportedly excludes decentralized network tokens from being classified as securities under federal law. The bill strongly emphasizes: Decentralized governance Open-source infrastructure Non-custodial staking Distributed validator participation Cardano aligns closely with each of these principles.

Why are you still paying extra to farm on Cardano? 🤔 Every DEX just copy-pasted the same model and they're slowly bleeding you over time with unnecessary TXs. VYFI didn’t. Built using Cardano’s strengths → 1 transaction. Instant farming. Drop the tribalism. Farm smarter.

@paulosnaja @lace_io They also need to switch from coin gecko

Bro ... Just fire whoever is responsible for @lace_io UX UI How is it possible for this upgrade to be so bad ??

@paulosnaja @lace_io I also said this°°° They all getting paid top dollars adjust the come and ruin user experience @lace_io .. all they needed to do was change the colour scheme.. I have remove it from my computer

@FireblocksHQ @IagonOfficial Institutions bringing infrastructure to cardano @FireblocksHQ finally working onchain

Two layers, one stack. Fireblocks RAW signing + @IagonOfficial's Cardano nodes and Insights API now give approved customers an operational path for ADA and CNTs.

@Padierfind Really need it!!

I really hope that with Leios we can reduce transaction fees as well. We need to reduce transaction fees, it's extremely important. And we need to reduce MinUTXO. These two are probably the biggest blockers right now.

Leios is already showing what Cardano looks like under serious load. Carlos demoed a local prototype where Leios kicks in when the mempool gets packed and starts clearing transactions fast. The quote that stood out: “20x the current capacity of Cardano.” Prototype demo. Not final production. But it shows the direction clearly. Is Leios being underestimated? *Not a paid promotion

🟠 Introducing BTC Karma - Public Sale May 15th Bridgeless Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano. • Why BTC Karma exists • How Bitcoin staking & Enlightenment Levels work • The long-term RWA and DeFi strategy • Public sale details and launch timeline Bitcoin users should not need to understand Cardano to benefit from Cardano infrastructure. We believe BTC Karma can become a major gateway for Bitcoin capital to enter composable DeFi and real-world asset opportunities through Cardano. 📑Read here: @cswapdex/introducing-bitcoin-karma-2bb4687de4b7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@cswapdex/intr…

@earthquakeNode @wmchain love what you are doing!

EarthNode stretch goal of 10 achieved while on a vacation cruise from Nova Scotia to Bermuda! Very excited and blessed to represent 1% of the greatest Real World Assets on the greatest DePIN chain: @wmchain. Not just the greatest DePIN chain. Soon to be the largest by DAUs.

What direction do you think they’re building toward? ⬜ Perp infra ⬜ Leverage loops ⬜ Financing for market neutral / basis trade strategies
