@phillip_pon @benohanlon @YoroiWallet Good job @phillip_pon and team!

I'd like to share a follow-up from my previous post about the changes to @YoroiWallet . The Yoroi mobile wallet update has been approved by the app stores and is now live on your device. We have removed Yoroi as a one-click option. Surprisingly, the Chrome extension is still pending review. We'll keep you posted. Thank you for your ongoing patience and rest assured our team is moving as quickly as possible. On a separate but related note, @JaromirTesar has invited me to join a discussion to discuss Cardano governance, and I want to acknowledge that publicly. It was a good-faith message and I appreciate it. @ItsDave_ADA and I also connected. These conversations should happen with an open mind and I am happy for them to be on the record. We will also extend the invitation to other active Dreps who care deeply about the ecosystem's direction and can contribute to the discussion. More details, including the outcomes of these forward-thinking discussions, will follow. See changes to the mobile app below.

Every serious DeFi chain eventually hits the same wall. Not a technical limit. A trust limit. @Cardano has had the peer-reviewed architecture, the eUTXO model, and the institutional-grade staking mechanics for years. What it didn't have was a stablecoin that capital allocators actually trust before they deploy. That gap has been doing real damage, quietly, for a long time. Think of institutional capital like water. It finds the path of least friction, and that path almost always requires a trusted dollar anchor on-chain before a single dollar of real allocation happens. No Circle-backed USDC? No serious capital routing. Cardano's TVL ceiling wasn't a tech problem. It was a stablecoin credibility problem. That bottleneck has now been removed with USDCx. — ➠ What is USDCx $USDCx is not a wrapped token. USDC is deposited into @circle's non-custodial xReserve smart contract. xReserve issues a cryptographic attestation. Cardano mints USDCx 1:1 against that attestation. Redemption reverses the same process. No external bridge validators. No synthetic backing. Trust surface is Circle itself. xReserve runs in tandem with Circle Gateway and CCTP, so USDCx holders can move assets across Circle-supported chains, and users can deposit directly from CEXs straight into Cardano's Wallet. ↪ DeFi-Native USDCx integrations → @liqwidfinance (lending) → @MinswapDEX (DEX) → @SundaeSwap (swaps). ↪ The 1st Week Data (Based on @DefiLlama | March 17, 2026) → Cardano TVL → ~$145M → Stablecoin supply jumped 42% in a week ($33M → $48.24M) → USDCx leads at $17.85M (~37.02%) → Stablecoins : TVL Ratio at 33%+ → There’s plenty of liquid capital ready to deploy. — ➠ Staged Fee Rollout To eliminate cold-start problem, @IOGroup didn’t run a one-time subsidy. They structured a three-stage fee rollout: → Days 1–100: Bridge fees fully subsidized. → Phase 2 : Partial subsidy, with fees below standard rates. → Phase 3: Standard fees return. Phase 1 is extended and Phase 2 begins immediately after. If you’re planning to bridge, now is the best time while fees are still fully subsidized. (NFA + DYOR) — ➠ Why This Actually Matters? → Institutional access unlocked Cardano now has a Circle-backed, redeemable stablecoin on-chain, clearing a major blocker for institutional allocators. → Higher DeFi ceiling Deep stablecoin liquidity enables stronger lending, tighter DEX markets, and steadier yields. USDCx expands what can be built. → Less bridge risk The attestation model avoids external validator sets and reduces the usual bridge attack surface. → Real-world rails enabled USDC unlocks rails for remittances, payroll, cross-border commerce, and RWA settlement on Cardano. — ➠ Wrap-Up Circle doesn't run xReserve for every chain that asks. USDCx is the prerequisite Cardano needed. The first-week data confirms real demand was waiting. The attestation model is the right trust architecture for 2026's institutional risk appetite.

Our first preview testnet block using Dingo has been accepted to the network. preview.cardanoscan.io/block/4119738

@eryxcoop @agustinenada See you there legends 🫡

An amazing week ahead for us ⚡ This Saturday and Sunday we’ll be at Pythathon, hosted at IOG Argentina’s offices. Then we’re heading to Builder’s Fest on March 24–25. Excited to keep building and pushing forward privacy and ZK in the Cardano ecosystem 🦝

Off to Argentina for @buidler_fest 🇦🇷 Excited to meet the #Cardano developer community, exchange, learn, and discuss new ideas! Join our session on advanced patterns & data structures. Want a preview? Check out our recent post on benchmarking authenticated collections👇

@txpipe_tools @LucasMacchia2 @MauroAndreoliA @agustinenada @buidler_fest Can we add some wine and alfajores, sir?

Buidler Fest #3 is 6 days away. 🇦🇷 120 builders. Buenos Aires. Deep technical sessions on Cardano, AI, Bitcoin DeFi, Midnight, and more. The swag's ready. The rooms are booked. The asado is already on. See you in BA! 🧉

@txpipe_tools @LucasMacchia2 @MauroAndreoliA @agustinenada @buidler_fest 🧉🥩🍷🇦🇷

All of crypto, connected to Cardano

The Pythathon started with a vision from @IOHK_Charles, but it turned into something special thanks to the dedication and hard work of @Ryun1_ and @JBriggsLondon from @IntersectMBO 🚀💪 HUGE thanks, guys . This is the kind of teamwork that makes Cardano stronger! 🙌 LATAM builders: come build with Pyth oracles on Cardano in Buenos Aires this March 21-22! Workshops, prizes, meals, and vibes included. Secure your spot: luma.com/4ss810sd Who's in? 👀👀👀👀 #Pythathon #Cardano

BREAKING NEWS: CARDANO BUILDERS HEAD TO BUENOS AIRES FOR BUILDLER FEST 😱😱😱 A 2-day gathering for Cardano developers will take place March 24–25, bringing builders together to collaborate and grow the ecosystem. What are you building on Cardano?

Breaking News Cardano (ADA) has now been formally detailed by the SEC as a digital commodity, not a security today. It is written directly into the Commission’s latest interpretive release. (Released Today) A digital commodity is an asset that derives its value from the programmatic operation of a functional crypto system, not from the expectation of profits driven by the efforts of others. ADA is listed alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum under that classification.

@Quantumplation @buidler_fest Happy to have you with us sir, see you soon 🫡

If you're going to be in Argentina in just under a week for @buidler_fest, I'll be giving a talk! I can't say why, but you might want to make sure you have a preview Cardano wallet with some ADA in it. For the rest of you, you won't have long to wait, I promise, but this one is Buidler Fest exclusive :)

We're working to integrate @MidnightNtwrk into the SuperNode platform. As a Cardano partner chain, Midnight is a natural fit. SuperNode already runs Cardano nodes. Adding Midnight support lets SPOs run both workloads under one roof while optimizing infrastructure. 👇🧵

The Cardano Foundation, supported by @IOGroup, is requesting community approval to become the new managing entity of Project Catalyst. This will ensure continuity of operations and minimize delays on milestone reviews and payouts. Explore the GA: adastat.net/governances/b5…

@Cardano_CF @MauroAndreoliA @IOGroup Nice call, count me in 🫡

Blink Labs CEO @wolf31o2 will be speaking at @buidler_fest in Argentina on March 24th. He'll explore how AI and agentic coding can accelerate innovation, improve velocity, and increase correctness, all framed around Cardano and Go. See you in Buenos Aires! Let's Go!

@DenicioBernier @Cardano Thank you Denicio, it's an honor to be accepted as an Ambassador 😃

@Cardano A Warm Welcome to You, @diegomac35 🙌🏾 Great having you being part of the Cardano Ambassador Program !
