Here's the youtube of my keynote: youtube.com/watch?v=Iyrt2fNA…

If you haven't watched this entire thing, you have no idea whats coming to not only crypto, but the world. This is the most ground breaking system since smart contracts. Phones, Playstation, Xbox, etc all playing a role. Nightframes are going to get nuts. youtu.be/Iyrt2fNAWQ4

Cardanoscan is no longer the Cardanoscan you remember.
That is not an easy sentence to write.
We’ve moved beyond the old homepage.
Today, we’re unveiling a redesigned Home Page with DeFi, chain stats, network activity, and more.
New home. Same chain.

If someone were to look at 24 hour fee generation on @DefiLlama this is what they would find:
Cardano: $6.7K
Solana: $7.2M
Ethereum: $11.7M
I compared the 30 day top 7 fee generating protocols across the 3 chains. Here are my findings:
Solana monetizes activity. Its top fee generating protocols include trading apps, launchpads, DEX and liquid staking. Solana is a machine for speculation and high-frequency trading.
Ethereum monetizes capital. Its top fee generating protocols are lending, liquid staking and stablecoin infra. Users are parking capital, borrowing against it, earning yield, etc.
Cardano monetizes infrastructure. The majority of fees come from DEX and chain gas fees. Right now, there is no dominant commercial application generating outsized activity for the chain.
If we were to remove the chain names and simply look at the fee sources, this is what we would find:
Solana has figured out how to attract users.
Ethereum has figured out how to attract capital.
Cardano has figured out how to build infrastructure.
An interesting observation: Cardano's top fee generators are fragmented across several DEXs. Unlike Solana's Jupiter or Ethereum's dominant lending and staking protocols, we don't yet have a single application that defines the ecosystem or concentrates user activity.
I think for me the big takeaway is this: infrastructure alone doesn't create adoption. Cardano needs more products that people can't stop using. We need more products and businesses that people want (or need) to use every single day.
Thoughts?

If i was @IOHK_Charles i’d be annoyed AF that for like 10 years he been preaching superior tech and most of the industry been fudding him….
But than @VitalikButerin slowly and steadily pivots Ethereum into most of tech concepts Charles researched and implemented and is instead applauded like he is innovating.
Charles will get no apologies and no recognition Because the internet always wins.

The Draper fund of $80mil is now live and will fund future projects on Cardano that should drive over $3bil in TVL.
Now is the time to build on Cardano🚀
It’s official. @DraperDragon $80m @OrionFund is open for business. And Draper University is leading the programs that help find and uplift the earliest builders.
The fund is built to turn Cardano's technical leadership into global, venture-scaled growth.
We are searching for the founders who will drive the next $3b in TVL.
> tier 1 first VC check (up to $90k)
> elite programming
> investor networking
> free housing in Silicon Valley
> leverage the massive Draper ecosystem in web3
Applications for our first cohort are now open. Link below 👇.

Cardano is infrastructure, nothing else. The rescue you are waiting for, it will come only from people building on it and being successful. The deus ex-machina, the saviour you're waiting for... is you. Pick up a shovel, it's time.

introducing: ada wants
my attempt to see what the community actually wants
live now. post what you want. 1 ada. ada used for top community want

I have over 9 million ADA here, and I'm willing to personally allocate 2 million ADA as development rewards for the best and most versatile creators on Cardano. These rewards will be distributed in batches over six months, targeting new DApps.Everyone should supervise.

Claude Design is insane.
❤️🔥Just recorded a 18-min tutorial on how to build animated, award-winning websites with Claude Design + Opus 4.7!

Cardano has many unique selling points.
One of them is passionate, global stake pool operators situated across the world, all contributing to the Cardano blockchains operation, Cardano stake pools have the ability to validate other blockchains and Partner-chains, they offer decentralization as a service.
I created this so you can visualise Cardano blockchain validation in action. (yes I do build things despite what people say)

A lot of people in Cardano don't appreciate the open source infrastructure & tools that makes this ecosystem actually usable for new developers.
So here's my perspective after shipping a full SAP-Cardano integration over the last few months.
With my Catalyst proposal I wanted to use the most advanced, modern stack available for connecting SAP to Cardano. Native, fast, secure. On the SAP side, it was clear that TS was really the only option that made sense. But on Cardano?
Do i had to learn Haskell first?
No.
Because people in this ecosystem built tools and libraries that let developers from other ecosystems work with Cardano without starting from zero.
Since I went with TypeScript, the biggest shoutout goes to @MicheleHarmonic and the entire @hlabs_tech stack with plu-ts, cardano-ledger-ts, and especially Buildooor as a native TS transaction builder. Not sure what I would have done without it. 👷
Buildooor is significantly easier to use than CSL, by the way. If you've worked with both, you know.
@blockfrost_io and Koios for Cardano APIs. Reliable, well-documented, and they just work.
@blinklabs_io for a dockerized Cardano CLI that I could just pull and use for signing tests. No local node setup, no hours of syncing. Just works.
@_KtorZ_ for Ogmios and its TypeScript client for a live WebSocket connection directly against a Cardano node.
And these are exactly the tools & areas we need to keep developing and funding if we want Cardano to be useful and play a role in the future.
Not more marketing. Not more governance drama.
Better developer tooling, node diversity and infrastructure.
And yes. Now is exactly the right time.
Thank you for your attention.
