Some projects are just out delivering. I much prefer this to drama on X! Keep up the amazing work @IagonOfficial ! #Cardano $ADA
Our CEO @NaVi_GaT0R visited @WurthCanadaLtd's headquarters last week.
Würth is validating 3D printing IP protection on Iagon's network — and work like this is built in person, not just in production.
#CardanoCommunity what is everyone using now that TapTools is gone? I tried BendingAI and am not really a fan. What else is out there? $ADA #Cardano
Couldn’t agree more! Move your delegation to a dRep who actually cares, not exists by self serving default.
Users should really think about what this actually means. ⚠️
If you’re still delegating with Yoroi, you’re leaving your voting power with an organization that made a serious, preventable mistake that directly harmed its own users. You have the ability to move it. Use your ADA to support DReps who treat security and user protection like non-negotiables instead. 🛡️
Your delegation is your signal. Make it count. ➡️
Don’t fall for this phishing attempt!!

Well, our proposal with Sellout is officially live, direct to the treasury!
First and foremost, thank you to the immense amount of support we have had over the past week. Your positive messages and continued support of our proposal made this a clear path forward.
I want to second to directly thank @santicarmuega and the entire @txpipe_tools team for sponsoring our treasury withdrawal.
And to the other two parties who offered to help @wolf31o2 and @dankarda, I just want to thank you both for the gesture.
Shoutout to @Ryun1_ and Intersect for supporting us through this process.
This, to me, is what makes Cardano so special. There is no doubt this community, when united, boasts some of the best people on earth.
Secondly,
We have the ability to answer and address all feedback related to the proposal. This proposal is structured as a LOAN, with a permanent revenue share.
Thanks to feedback proposed during the intersect process, we made this adjustment to the proposal, adding a clear definition of the revenue share %.
Additionally, we decreased our peg to .22 ADA from .25. We are still committed to completing the entire contents of the proposal regardless of price movement.
Third and finally,
This means everything to our team. We have grinded hard to get here and sacrificed a lot, as many of you already know. We have worked hard to build a reputation and name for ourselves in this space. We value how the Cardano community sees us and our commitments in our proposal.
We know this opportunity is immensely valuable for Cardano. Hopefully the DReps who were on the fence see the value, and the commitment to do what is right by the community.
Please push your DRep to vote YES on this proposal.
cardanoscan.io/govAction/gov…
It's time to go all-in.
Let's make Cardano the ticketing chain of the world!!!
If you are using @secondfiapp you should change as soon as you can. And while you’re at it select a new dRep because @emurgo_io is literally scamming people now not just lying and gaslighting like usual.
🚨 An Important Security Update from the SecondFi Team
We identified a security issue impacting a small number of Cardano wallets on our platform. We have contained the issue and paused the affected functions. Our engineering teams are actively working to restore full functionality to the platform.
To protect our users, SecondFi has been temporarily placed into maintenance mode. All front-end interactions are paused.

Can someone explain to me since when doing every decision-making consensus off-chain became the "standard"?
I thought that's what permissionless blockchains were exactly for.
Taking decisions on the most decentralized and immutable database we have, where only the community has a say on matters being voted on through a proper liquid democracy.
The ledger is:
• The single and only place where nobody can trick the data.
• The only place where everything is transparent and publicly accessible.
• The only place where I don't have to ask anyone for permission before submitting a governance action or proposal.
• The only place where DReps, acting under the authority of the liquid voting power delegated to them by the community, can vote in the most decentralized way possible.
• The only place where consensus is measured objectively through votes recorded on an immutable database.
• The only place that is truly censorship-resistant (for those who understand what that means).
In such a system, not acquiring community consensus is not evidence of a flaw in the governance design.
It simply means the community does not support the proposal in its current form.
That's not a governance failure.
That's governance working exactly as intended.
If the community rejects a proposal, the answer is not to move the decision elsewhere, or redefine consensus.
The answer is to listen to the community, improve the proposal, address the concerns raised, and come back with something better.
No gatekeepers. No shortcuts. No exceptions.
Period.
C’mon @IOHK_Charles, time to bury the hatchet and move towards unity with @HolgerCardano24.
Alright #CardanoCommunity,
Let me quote Charles from one of his latest videos:
"And I want to get back to unity. And I want to get back to empathy. And I want to get back to productive conversations. And I want to get back to Let's solve problems and get things done."
That being said - i need YOUR (you! the one reading this!) help:
Please retweet this post and tag @IOHK_Charles, because I have a message for him:
Hey Charles,
If what you said in the video is true, I would like to invite you to a private call with me (no recordings, etc.).
Just the two of us having a constructive conversation about the ecosystem we both love!
You have ideas, I have ideas - let's sort things out, brainstorm, etc.
I really mean it - let's put the chaos aside and talk like grown men. It will be very beneficial for the Cardano ecosystem!
Unblock me, DM me on X, and then we will pick a channel for our call.
We may not have been aligned on everything in the past, and a lot of what we both said escalated really quickly.
Let us both be bigger than this, because we both know there is one thing in our hearts that is bigger than anything else... and that is #Cardano!

Cardano governance needs changes. The founding entities and Intersect have opened that discussion, and I welcome it.
I hope DReps will be a part of this debate, and I hope one principle remains clear: the Treasury must stay in the community's hands.
We should be honest about the context. The current push to restructure governance comes after the FEs did not get everything they wanted from the Treasury.
I understand why this is frustrating. FEs may believe they know what Cardano needs most, and in many areas, they have deep expertise and a strong track record.
But the community and DReps may see things differently. That is not a failure of governance. That is governance.
No one knows with certainty how Treasury resources should be allocated in the best possible way. That is exactly why we need balance, checks, and open decision-making.
Treasury ADA should be equally accessible to everyone: FEs, ecosystem teams, and community builders.
Funding should be difficult to obtain. Public resources must face a high bar, and DReps should retain the final say.
FEs should not assume they have a priority right to funding. Of course, Cardano still depends on them in many important areas. But that does not mean every budget request should automatically be approved.
If Cardano introduces an execution function, we will also need stronger conflict-of-interest rules.
The Constitution should protect a simple principle: the actor who benefits from a decision should not also be the actor who controls that decision.
If FEs want to play an executive role, there must be clear boundaries, disclosure, and recusal rules. Execution and Treasury oversight should not be concentrated in the same hands.
What we need now is mutual respect between DReps and founding entities. We need better communication channels and better ways to share context before proposals reach the on-chain stage.
Many proposals were rejected because they were not sufficiently socialized, the context was missing, or important concerns were not addressed before submission.
This applies not only to FEs, but to many proposers across the ecosystem.
DReps have direct responsibility for the Treasury. It is their duty to ask questions, request changes, and vote NO when they believe a proposal is not ready.
That responsibility should be respected.
Many proposers try to ask DReps for feedback before submission, but often they do not receive it. Providing high-quality feedback often requires almost the same amount of work as reviewing an on-chain proposal.
Most DReps do not have the capacity for that.
Many have regular jobs, families, and other responsibilities. They may be able to handle a few proposals per month, but not dozens.
A few DReps are doing an enormous amount of work, and I appreciate that, but this system is not sustainable in the long term.
The low interest in CC positions is another signal that governance workload and incentives are not properly aligned.
FEs and other proposers need to understand that DRep work is largely voluntary.
DReps are expected to make decisions over hundreds of millions of ADA this cycle, while doing highly responsible work for free.
That may be acceptable for minimum viable governance, but then we must also be honest about the limits of quality, capacity, and speed.
My feeling is that this is not respected and is being used as an argument for change. That is not fair.
If we want better governance, we need to give DReps the time, structure, and incentives required to process a large number of proposals responsibly.
I am curious to see what changes will be proposed. I want to believe that DReps will be part of the discussion from the beginning, and that any proposal to change governance will have broad support before it is submitted on-chain.
Cardano needs stronger execution. But it must not come at the cost of community control over the Treasury.
Very well put and reflective of key concerns many in the community have @blockjock2017. We need to rethink how to proceed if such a plan is needed, as presented by @phillip_pon.
Expertise runs deep in the community, let’s formalize our seat at the table. It can’t be FEs only.
Since the capitulation is complete @phillip_pon and we have decided to kick the can down the road, does this mean there isnt an actual problem? What in your mind holds people accountable for their obvious missteps lately managing not only their companies but also Cardano?
We had one success outside of the sale of vouchers in Japan and the eventual listing of Ada on major exchanges creating value for the ada holder ( I know Charles there has been many technical successes) and that's the 84 days it took us to build the international airport to unlock inter-blockchain commerce with the Pentad and that wasn't with one person thankfully but instead a group together, who respected each other enough to not go out and publicly blow shit up when it wasn't going exactly as it was planned.
Will need a plan from @emurgo_io and the rest of the Pentad that will actually involve the governance side at Intersect in a real way. Problems I see currently in my limited vieew.
1. @JBriggsLondon is on the Pentad as a non voting member this is a problem, there is no accountability there, no checks and balances. When egos are involved it is never a good idea to allow 3 of the five to dominate and vote thru all the "Great " ideas you have. 7 members voting on the Pentads strategic moves are key to avoiding failures due to the lack of real oversight
Solution: make Jack the chair of the Pentad as he represents the MBO as ED, add 2 non FE employee voting members. We have a structure in place already so one person from the board and one person from the steering committee, since I am writing this I most likely need to recuse myself from being a member due to any smack of bias or desire for control.
2. Cardano governance is distributed across ada owners, DReps, SPOs, and the Constitutional Committee, with no single person or entity given unilateral authority.
Official Constitution link:
cardano.org/constitution/
We have one decentralized Cardano with a constitution which means there is no actual leader, this doesn't mean we don't have a singular voice when it comes to disseminating information to the ada holder (our actual boss/leader/precious resource). Unless directly authorized, no more reactive youtube videos making unilateral statements that appear to represent us all, when in fact it is the furthest thing from that. Yes he is a leader here, yes he has done many great things and been extraordinarily gracious with his time and financial support but its not a good idea when you have just gone thru the largest single business setback in your life and then o go onto youtube and speak your truth, no matter how much he is hurt or angry or sad he is at that very moment, its not respectful to all of us working here and totally unprofessional and quite frankly should be beneath him yet he still goes out and pulls the trigger to all of our proverbial heads in the process
3. Structurally the current governance structure for the Mbo needs to change and there need to be guardrails in place that keep people honest, have strong suggestions on whats acceptable when it comes to their role and responsibility as a voting member. Proper removal procedures that have teeth and keep people accountable, this isnt a social club its a 1st of its kind decentralized governance model and it requires dedicated people following policies that let them know their time is valuable to us, as well as holding those to their initial commitment when they applied for the voting seat (respect your peers and their time and the entire body flourishes.
Theres are more but the last thing we need is more of the same, the question is does anyone have the moxie to follow thru? Help me out here @phillip_pon @F_Gregaard @IOHK_Charles @F_ZK_Now let me know if I'm wrong here and I will shut up and stop talking. I have a great deal of respect for all of you but after 7 years I am tired of seeing us flounder, its frustrating as hell and is becoming a super difficult discussion with my wife on our financial exposure here if I'm being really honest

Cardano community, it’s time.
More than ever, we must stand as ONE.
We are one of the largest and most dedicated communities in crypto. Every project dreams of having what we have: a loyal army that shows up and supports. That is rare, and we should be incredibly proud of it.
We have a founder with a real vision, one that empowers the little guy and financial freedom. We have Midnight, upcoming Bitcoin DeFi, Leios on the horizon, and governance that no other chain can match.
Cardano isn’t just another blockchain. It’s on the path to become the backbone of the entire financial system.
Let’s be honest: those attacking us (@coinbureau and others) want to divide us so they can rule us. We only win if we stay united.
No more internal enemies. No more toxicity. Let the past stay in the past. We must be more tolerant, more supportive, and laser-focused on the future.
The world looks at us with envy because they wish they had a community like ours. This is our greatest strength our main commodity.
If we support our builders, our research, and our projects… if projects build real business models and their own communities instead of depending only on treasury… then nobody can stop us.
When we truly understand this, an era of expansion will begin that no other Web3 project can match.
#2 on CMC? Or even higher? It’s possible.
We have everything we need. Now we just have to put our egos aside and work together for Cardano.
United we stand. Divided we fall.
Let’s build. Let’s win. 💪

Cardano needs a killer app to remain relevant. Something so useful that people won’t care what chain it’s on.
Like Polymarket on Polygon, Hyperliquid on its own chain, or pumpfun on Solana.
Maybe Bitcoin DeFi will be it. Maybe something on Midnight. But we need a dApp that breaks out beyond the current Cardano bubble.
More support from the founding entities to incentivise and support builders and innovation would definitely help.
Yes! These are the rules of use cases many of us came here for! Great work @palmeconomy
What if Cardano became the backbone of global agriculture?
The 5am earth proposal could bring:
2M+ monthly active users
7–10M monthly transactions
Up to $1.2B in ecosystem contribution
All driven by real farmers, real commodities, and real agriculture workflows on Cardano.
This is what mainstream adoption looks like.
