We're about to start a new era in Cardano. One governed by the community DReps. This is your absolute last call to delegate to someone you trust or become a DRep before the Hard Fork. With the SPO threshold met and CC deliberating, this is going to come fast! You've been warned!
The secret about Ada is there is no endgame. We want to be the financial backbone of all blockchains and eventually governments and every individual on earth. The exit strategy doesn't exist.

🚨BREAKING: Charles Hoskinson has ties with the USA Government - Is $ADA the master plan? Leveraging Cardano to activate #Bitcoin #defi sounds like the SECRET end game 🤯🤯🤯
The media could not be played.
I have to preface with this is not the opinion of IOG, but I highly recommend anyone voting in Cardano Catalyst ecosystem to vote for Five Binaries open sourcing of Blockfrost. This is by in large the best API to the Cardano blockchain, and I'd really like to see it win!

Final transaction is in! All 7 keys accounted for a unanimous decision to fork into Chang (Conway era)!!! Thanks everyone for joining us on this long journey to governance! This is just the first step!
We have the community, we have the builders, we have the technology. All we're missing from flipping #Bitcoin is one big world player to dive in! #Argentina

I think we as a community should support paying and the ikigai folks back their deposit as a treasury withdrawal after the HF. What does everyone else think?

This is fixed in Chang+1 to prevent submission without a registered on-chain stake address. That being said, given that you were willing to be a pioneer on this stuff, I would support adding the first line to the budget withdrawal to give you your funds back.
Come learn about Leios progress folks! Take a break from the drama and learn about the future of scalability with Cardano!!!

Leios monthly update is usually on the last Wednesday of the Month. Due to the season holiday, we're doing it one week earlier this month. So, it's tomorrow (Wed, 17th Dec), 2GMT, and it's on an open google meet, here: meet.google.com/qhx-joxe-rmz
Since block 10770545 a few hours ago, the Hard Fork Combinator is certain that the hard fork to Conway will happen. One consequence of this is that the HFC started to answer time-related queries about the next epoch knowing the slot-length in the next epoch won't change!
Buenos Aires was amazing! So much energy with the community. Even when we had disagreements, everyone worked together to accomplish this amazing feat. For those that aren't 100% happy with the results, it's okay, this is just the start, and we have many opportunities ahead!
I credit joining for this major turnaround this year. He was amazing at a year ago, he did great things for his short time there and now we see blossoming into its full potential.

💯 We are on the verge of toppling the entire world economy. That's seriously threatening to a lot of big players and they're going to do everything they can to keep us down. We have the best tech, we have the best grassroots community. We will prevail!

The bigger question relevant to Cardano is actually whether a people run ecosystem stands a chance against corporate run ones. Most of the other discussions are meant to distract from this. It’s a sensitive question because answering no means crypto achieved nothing post Bitcoin
I like Nicolas. We have our disagreements, especially when it comes to governance and roles of founding entities in this new chapter. That being said, I strongly recommend watching his webinar. He produces good content. We don't have to agree on everything for me to promote this

I'm happy to announce we have SIGs in Intersect now! These are going to be low-process, mostly async, with occasionally optional presentations/AMAs. We need people to join these! More details below for how to get involved in the 4 we've setup!
Lots of folks can say they got a picture with but only a handful have had the privilege to get one with the wizard behind the curtains, Duncan!

We have an advantage ethereum doesn't: native tokens. Scaling on an L2 is much easier, locking some tokens in a script on Cardano, and then distributing them to the new owners after the activity on the L2 is done. The L2 is just an abstraction of the value held on L1.

At Cardano we have the chance to learn from other chains mistakes. We need to head to this warning about ETH, and we'll explode. x.com/nikzh/status/1…
My hope is this is the last fund that #opensource developers building things the community uses have to go to #Catalyst. We should have a separate funding source from the treasury maintaining the code people use and #Catalyst should be shrunk down to an innovation fund.

Spicy 🌶️: Project Catalyst’s public funds should only go to open source code. Public funds should benefit the public.
Please all #Daedalus users, find a #DRep and delegate to them! Lets get delegated ADA over 10 billion by January! We can do decentralize governance with your help!!!

Good job updating to 10.1.4 SPOs! Last epoch ending yesterday we were at 5.4% of blocks made using 10.1.4. This epoch, 39.7% of blocks have been made using 10.1.4! Thanks all for your quick upgrade efforts! Lets see if we can hit 50% by the end of this epoch!
