New on the blog: our Cardano Q&A recap for 2 October. Programmable tokens (CIP-0113), RealFi live on mainnet, Midnight permissionless contracts, and Barça arriving on Cardano. The week's links and what they mean:

Delegate to CarPool. Member pricing is on CP Health.
If your pool has gone quiet, filled up, or you're already thinking about moving, CarPool is a single-pool operator you can talk to. Delegate, then verify on CP Health. There's a path there for practitioner-quality supplements at member pricing. Create a free dispensary account through our link, connect your Cardano wallet, and verify. It can deepen with how much you delegate and how long you stay. About every three months you re-verify. If the delegation lapses, you return to baseline.

Agents need access to Cardano data.
Now, it's easy for them to access the same Blockfrost, UTxO RPC, Ogmios, and Kupo APIs used in @DemeterRun via our x402 gateway and Cardano facilitator.

24 hour access using ADA, USDM, or USDCx on Cardano

Replying to @realfi_co
@realfi_co is now live on @Cardano Mainnet with USDrf, a stablecoin designed to be backed by a diversified portfolio of real-world assets.
But what exactly is USDrf, how does it work, and why does it matter for Cardano?

What we're building at @MidnightNtwrk is awesome…
But building it alongside equally awesome people is the cherry on top.
New on the blog: is running a Cardano stake pool actually right for you?
An honest look at the time, the costs and who it really suits, from someone in the seat.

Same goes for CF. Remember they said they would not run pools now they run 6 pools.
The Cardano Foundation said on the K Parameter - “The k-parameter plays an important factor in keeping the Cardano blockchain adequately decentralized and encourages ada holders to delegate to a wider number of pools.”
Now that there is an info action on K they are voting No to increase it.
Why, because they know the community isn't paying attention and won't hold them accountable.

Over the past two years the blockchain industry has lost roughly half its builders. New entrants at the top of the funnel dried up because most ecosystems never changed how they recruit. They kept fishing in the same ponds.
#MidnightNetwork DevRel approach ran the other direction. We focused on net-new people and went where they already are, instead of waiting for existing crypto developers to show up. That produced growth through a long testnet period, a mainnet that only launched a few months ago, and contract deployments that are only now going live.
The rest of the industry is still losing builders for the same reason and AI has not resulted in more builders at the top of the funnel. I’ll be releasing a few lectures on this shortly the whole space needs them (especially my #Cardano friends).

The @Cardano_CF dRep vote on the gov info action on K is baffling...
minPoolCost and CIP-50 are not substitutes. A lower fixed cost helps a small pool that already has stake. It does not move stake off a saturated pool.
CIP-50’s leverage cap ships unset it next hardfork. It does nothing until a later vote turns it on. Waiting for both seems like another stall tactic.
stakePoolTargetNum or K is the parameter that can be changed now. IOG modeled as safe, and the Cardano Foundation itself described as what pushes ADA toward a wider set of pools.
Cardano’s story was never “let the pools that got there first keep the saturation point.” It was a soft cap, to be raised in large steps, so no pool stays the best place to park stake forever. The K=1,000 step that was scheduled for 2021 is the one still sitting on the table.
No more excuses, no more delays!

Not even 100 DReps have voted for this proposal: Reduce minPoolCost to 75 ada
It expires in 7 days.
FLUID just minted block #162 on Cardano.
Every block is minted on stake our delegators trusted us with - thank you.

🚨 9 days left to vote to lower minPoolCost! 🚨
If you're still not convinced that it hurts small pools, then let's do a mental exercise.
Imagine that instead of lowering it, we raised it to 1000 instead. What would that look like?
