Roundtable Talk – DRep Participation in Focus: Power Is One Thing, Participation Is Another 📅 May 4, 2026 - 14:00 UTC Participation, consistency, and accountability remain key themes in recent discussions around DReps. Questions around engagement levels, voting rationale's, and DRep fatigue point to a broader challenge - one needing a public debate. This Roundtable Talk creates space for open, constructive dialogue. We’ll explore what healthy participation looks like, how accountability can be strengthened, and what’s needed to support DRePs over time. The goal is simple, better understand what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to evolve to strengthen DRep participation as intended by design. Joining the Roundtable: - @hix_coffeepool - @RodrigoPacini - @NicolasC3rny - @bhra_freezy - @Lo_Ponch - @kenerik - @tsnnst

Cardano Node 10.7.1 is mainnet ready! This is expected to be the last version before 11.0. 11.0 is expected to have no user facing changes, so we recommend everyone updating to this release in preparation for 11.0 hard fork! github.com/IntersectMBO/c…

Dolos v1.1 is out 🚀 The goal of this release was simple: drive down the cost of running a Cardano backend. Result: 3 GB of RAM. Indexed, queryable, live sync👇🧵

Stripe just retweeted us! 💥💥💥 MPP Masumi Integration coming next after x402 :)

New V2 trading volume all time high with almost half the day yet to go 🔥 Already at $520,000 👀 V2 has seen nonstop growth and still less than a month old First $1M day loading… Thanks for the support 🫡

🎥 We want to share with the Cardano ecosystem the different talks that took place during Buidler Fest v3, so here we go! Same order as presented during the event 👇🧵

Daedalus 8.0.0 is live. Now with Mithril bootstrap. New installs can sync in minutes instead of hours. Lower memory usage. Faster sync. Native Apple Silicon support. This release makes running a full node more accessible and more efficient. Upgrade recommended.

Hydra v2 (alpha) is here! This release simplifies the Hydra Head protocol by removing the commit phase entirely: heads now open directly, and funds are added incrementally via deposits. This eliminates collectCom and abort transactions, resolves the long-standing "non-abortable head" issue, and reduces lifecycle costs for most use cases. More details: github.com/cardano-scalin… Please try it out and give us feedback!
