@OzDefi @grok @Simply_Compl3x3 @DamienCarlisle @IOHK_Charles @NaVi_GaT0R @bosconfts @Cryptofly777 @LucasMacchia2 Grok has lost its plot, and he'll pity @elonmusk and the people who rely upon him to be an effective leader for his project.

@grok @Simply_Compl3x3 @DamienCarlisle @IOHK_Charles @NaVi_GaT0R @bosconfts @Cryptofly777 @LucasMacchia2 I wonder if Charles will block Grok?

Time to call out the Midnight ambassadors who have conflicts of interest. Will you be voting ABSTAIN ? - @bosconfts - Porto Cripto dRep - ₳4.41 million $ADA - @Cryptofly777 - Linda - Cryptofly - ₳34.11 million $ADA - @LucasMacchia2 - Lucas.Macchiavelli - ₳6.6 million $ADA - KTOP (anyone have his handle, please tag) - ₳9.51 million $ADA Those are just the ones I found that have a dRep, there could be many more.

In Cardano governance, transparency around potential conflicts is key for trust—dReps (including Midnight ambassadors) voting on IOG proposals should disclose ties clearly and consider abstaining if conflicted. Personal attacks don't resolve that. Both Navjit and Charles make points worth debating openly, not pitting "right vs wrong." The ecosystem wins through clear rules, not drama.

@ThirdDegree_OG @Lucas89894992 @MoCapital_0x So, going by your theory, Nav is god to too many who bought IAG early and sold along the way, too.

@Lucas89894992 @MoCapital_0x Lmao I bought cardano sub $.10 years ago, sold along the way. ALOT of people made money on $ADA over the past decade. You hate his character more than the facts that he’s made a lot of people money with his creation. Blind af

The absolute state of Cardano right now… You can almost hear it cracking. 🔥

@MoCapital_0x @ThirdDegree_OG @Lucas89894992 @NaVi_GaT0R I'm replying to this ThirdDegree

Not at all. The meme is just about the current state of affairs. Not based on $iag price, $SNEK price, or the price of tea in China. I was simply pointing out that @NaVi_GaT0R certainly represents the rightfully growing concerns in the community. It’s not a theory. But when founder blocks a leading community voice, it feels off. When questions about funding transparency are treated as hostile… Houston. We have a problem.

@elraulito Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Cardano

I have some opinions, some in favor of some proposals, some neutral and some against others However at this point I am afraid of sharing Back to work

@IOHK_Charles @CryptoWatcherOG Are you on drugs?

@CryptoWatcherOG He just downvoted the IO funding proposals and is now starting a campaign to bully Midnight Ambassadors unless they vote against us or abstain. Sorry man, this is objectively wrong and damaging

Fuck man! What the actual fuck are you doing? Don't you see cardano is falling apart and you're out here demotivating the few actors who are still alive and active.. Fuck this shit ,man.

@IOHK_Charles @janilom81 "Hey, they are good people, so you have no right to question their conflict of interest". What a dictator.

@janilom81 Sorry, you don't get to gaslight people here. He's now attacking independent Midnight ambassadors who are good people.

Do what Chuck says... Or become an enemy of the chain.

@IOHK_Charles @Filecoin Took less than an hour for Mr. Dire Wolf Mode to start marketing @IagonOfficial competitors. Turns out "decentralized governance" works perfectly as long as we are all in full agreement to fund everything charles likes.

@jpgstoreNFT Thank you for your service.

After serving the Cardano ecosystem since 2021 and sharing an incredible journey with thousands along the way, we’ve reached a point where the JPG Store & Comet platforms have to be sunset. While we deeply value the people who have supported us, the platforms have reached a stage where they are no longer sustainable to operate. JPG Store & Comet will continue to be online until the 23rd of May. After which, the website will be shut down, though the smart contracts will continue to live on. 🧵1/6

@HPBTSubMOA @VadeadIesum "The pope is a false Christian", got to be the funniest thing I've read from this saga.

Liars. All of you. Liars! We are “revolting against the Pope. The POPE. Ever heard of that guy? He is Not a Christian. Jesus is not a liberal socialist. Christians are COMMANDED TO Confront False Teachings. The explicitly orders all Christians…All to confront lies. The pope is a false teacher. If you believe otherwise then YOU are Not a Christian. Now deal with reality and stop your lies

Pretty much all of MAGA is revolting against the Catholic Church. Good luck winning another election without the Catholic voting bloc.

BREAKING : Italian 🇮🇹 Georgia Meloni becomes the first PM in the world to belt Trump for his remarks on Pope 🔥 🇺🇸 Trump –– "The Pope is weak against crime and he is not doing his job well. He is terrible for foreign policy" 🇮🇹 Meloni –– 🔥 "Trump's words toward the Holy Father are unacceptable. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and it is right and normal for him to call for peace and to condemn every form of war" Trump expected support at Strait of Hormuz from Meloni but she's exposing his hypocrisy instead 🤣

@phillip_pon Didn’t both entities receive ADA allocations during Cardano’s founding to support these purposes?

A Message to the Cardano Community: Why Singapore 2026 is Our Strategic Inflection Point Community, I hear you. I’ve read many of the questions regarding our presence in Singapore, and I want to address them directly—not just as the CEO of EMURGO, but as a long-term stakeholder in this ecosystem. The skepticism regarding "internal parties" and the ROI of large booths is understandable. You want to see every ADA working toward the growth of the network. However, I want to clarify why Cardano Summit 2026 and Token2049 Singapore are not just "events"—they are a calculated counter-offensive in a global market that is currently in flux. 1. The World is Coming to Singapore The global crypto calendar has shifted. With the unfortunate cancellation of Token2049 Dubai, the industry's gravity has moved entirely to Singapore. This isn't just about "crypto people"—it is also F1 Singapore Weekend. This means every major financial institution, Tier-1 VC, and Family Office will be in the city. To be absent, or to have a "modest" presence, is to signal to the world's capital that Cardano is retreating. We are doing the opposite. We are showing up where the money is, at the exact moment the world is watching. 2. A Proven, KPI-Driven Strategy We are not spending blindly. Our approach is strictly KPI-driven, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability. It is important to note that both Cardano Summit 2025 and Unified Marketing 2025 met or exceeded every stated KPI—from developer sign-ups and media reach to institutional leads. In fact, we were one of the few projects to fully deliver on our commitments within last year's Net Change Limit (NCL) framework. We are bringing that same discipline and data-backed rigor to Singapore. 3. From "Booth" to "Infrastructure" There is a misconception that these summits are just for swag. Let’s look at the "Unified" approach at the last Token2049 Singapore. By standing together, the founding entities were able to negotiate and sign deals that brought critical core primitives to our ecosystem: 1. USDCx – A Tier-1 stablecoin asset. 2. Pyth Network – Institutional-grade pricing oracles. 3. LayerZero – Critical omni-chain interoperability. 4. Dune Analytics – Essential data transparency for our builders. These weren't "internal discussions"; they were high-level business developments—and there are more to come. @emurgo_io and the @Cardano_CF support this proposal because we act as the legal and commercial counterparties required to sign these contracts. @IOGroup stepped up (as they always do) to countersign as well. @IntersectMBO is maturing and over time will become the primary signer (in my opinion) but at present we are still needed. These entities require a professional, unified front before they commit to integrating with our tech stack. The funds are used to secure venues, sponsorships, and ensure efficient event execution. 4. Solving the "Enterprise" and "Booth" Perception We are evolving how we showcase Cardano: Beyond Retail: Enterprise adoption is a "back-room" game. The Industry Day is designed to get our builders in front of the institutional players who are in town for the F1 and Token2049. Institutional Ready: It has been highlighted that we are predominantly retail, but in my estimation, Cardano is institutional-ready given the significant infrastructure investments we have made and delivered—in large part thanks to @IOGroup and @IOHK_Charles's leadership. @MidnightNtwrk has brought the spotlight back to our ecosystem. Like it or not, we live in an economy of attention, and right now, the attention needs to be on us. Unifying the Best: Most importantly, this summit provides a world-class platform for our top ecosystem projects. We are giving our most promising DApps an audience of tens of thousands that they could never reach individually. As smaller projects, they could not scale this on their own or would be relegated to the back corners of Token2049. That would be precious money wasted—money they cannot afford to risk as individual projects. An Invitation to Our Builders We want this to be the most inclusive representation of Cardano to date. We welcome all Cardano projects to reach out to us regarding how you can be showcased at both the Cardano Summit and the Unified Community Day. This can be your global platform. Let us help you! We are building the "Operational Backbone" to showcase why we belong, why we are relevant, and why we are on the offense. Let’s show the world that Cardano is a global, professional network that offers superior institutional and enterprise infrastructure. Let’s show them what Cardano is made of. Together. Please vote "Yes" but our DMs are open, we have reached out to early voters to listen to their feedback. @Cardano @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io #pentad #strongertogether #unifiedcommunity

@elonmusk Statistics don’t protect individuals. Even if fatalities drop overall, you could still be worse off personally using it. Some of the 10% might only be there because they relied on self-driving in the first place

Tesla self-driving saves a lot of lives – the statistics are unequivocal. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, of course. Even when we improve safety 10X, saving 90% of the million lives lost in auto accidents every year, Tesla will still get sued for the 10% who did die. The 90% who are still alive mostly won’t even know that Tesla saved them. Nonetheless, it is the right thing to do.

I miss the old cNFT days. We made dumb calls, made friends, waited forever for tx during 10k drops. We made money. We supported each other with the money and protected our space. We believed Cardano would rule the world, and we’d be early like Bitcoin. Good times.

@IOHK_Charles @Dagnum_PI @pyro_ae @ItsDave_ADA Great! Now, let's watch Charles push Dave out as he did to Whale.

@Dagnum_PI @pyro_ae @ItsDave_ADA The largest project on Cardano, which will add billions of dollars in value to Cardano, is being treated this way. Like Whale before him, this attitude will destroy Cardano if it is allowed to continue. I want an apology from Dave.

Okay @ItsDave_ADA has put in nothing but good faith for Cardano. @IOHK_Charles for the love of all that is cherished look in a mirror and better your behavior. This ecosystem and your next will die by your vitriol if you don’t stop. Ik you don’t care anymore(seems like it) if thar is the case its okay to move industry to health tech.

@phil_uplc @matiwinnetou Hard to believe anyone working for Charles has never heard of Cardano before.

Midnight is not only building on Cardano, it is building Cardano. The midnight core developers, many of which never heard of Cardano before, are actively contributing to Cardano core repositories, and the roadmap. Especially when it comes to applied zk cryptography, they’re the guys at the forefront of pushing what is possible with the zk primitives on Cardano. The Glacier Drop (Midnight airdrop) development process was mostly spent fixing and improving Hydra and getting it to a point where it is actually usable in production. Hydra had been sitting there with its first “mainnet ready” release for a very long time, with the community wondering why no projects were using it, the answer was that it was simply not production hardened enough, and so Midnight spent a ton of time and development resources working in collaboration with the Hydra team to get Hydra to a point where it is actually usable in production (fixing dozens of liveness problems, head participant desync’s and other critical vulnerabilities). Now it’s finally stable enough for real world use. The answer to, why not add this functionality directly to Cardano, is much simpler than “easier to start from scratch”, it’s that blockchain is a domain of tradeoffs, there is no free lunch, functionality like native privacy and selective disclosed cannot be obtained without sacrifices in other properties of the ledger, no L1 can be the best in every niche, or satisfy the needs of every possible use-case, that’s why L1s as a settlement layer is such a compelling successful narrative. Polygon has contributed an absolutely immense amount of value to the growth and development of Ethereum, significantly more than any DeFi protocol on the Ethereum L1. Every user onboarded by Polygon is also an Ethereum user. They have contributed massively to improving the EVM, to improving Ethereum’s interoperability standards, to improving Ethereum’s wallets, and to applied zk cryptography in Ethereum and things like the zkEVM / and zk L2s. People always ask why Polygon doesn’t just leave Ethereum and decide to be its own L1, the answer is that Polygon benefits as much from Ethereum as Ethereum benefits from Cardano. It’s not just partnerchains that need to provide value, it’s also the duty of Cardano to provide value to L2s and partner-chains, if the relationship becomes one-sided in either direction it cannot work, if Ethereum was not providing sufficient value in terms of network effects and as a settlement layer to Polygon, Polygon would leave. If we want Cardano to succeed as a settlement layer, then it’s our job to make it the most competitive settlement layer, otherwise projects will just settle to Ethereum instead. The Cardano as a settlement layer roadmap only works if we, on Cardano, make it work, by making us the best-in-class settlement layer, and offering unique value to partnerchains that they cannot get elsewhere.

My thoughts on Midnight and Cardano working together in the medium article. Spoiler alert, its complex but remember you are in charge / control. cardano-fans.medium.com/my-midnight-th…

@WhiteHouse Just start buying from Russia again. Simple.

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

$5 trillion wiped out. Everything is going exactly as planned. Stay tuned.

@jayedii @IagonOfficial I retired my Cyclone node when the new tier system was announced. If APY is only 3–5%, I’d rather put my capital into the VOO (S&P 500) for 7–12% returns without the hassle of maintaining hardware. I might hold my $IAG though and treat it as a moonbag.

Completely selling my @IagonOfficial $iag bags when my nodes unlock. The CTO is toxic, not one person in Iagon can provide consistent messaging, many promises and nothing delivered. Rewards in smart contracts can and have been tampered with. I have lost all trust in this project.
