Cardano (ADA)

🚨HUGE: HOSKINSON WARNS OF CARDANO DEFI SHUTDOWNS IN H2 2026 Charles Hoskinson says more Cardano DeFi apps could close in the second half of 2026, citing funding, governance, and commercialization problems. He also floated an “extreme” reset through proof of burn if the ecosystem fails to change.

@blockjock2017 Strike did a great job, we need 10 more killer dApps like that on Cardano & Midnight

@rod_drmz @blockjock2017 Positive Cardano vibes, let’s go

JUST IN: Cardano Foundation CEO says "with Archax, we listed a reinsurance product on the Tier-1 London Stock Exchange, ensuring all investors can trust the data, and have access to the same asset classes that only professionals have. Hopefully next time it'll be the NYSE." $ADA

Our peeps in Cardano/Midnight/shielded are redic talented, pay special attention to the drummer for any of those who attended the Argentina workshop, he might look familiar;-) @USDMOfficial @MidnightNtwrk @Shield_USD VersOver LIVE - Bob and Jack https://t.co/AdAqbxGeDW via @YouTube

Getting most done in 84 days in Cardano is equivalent to walking on water (yes an exaggeration….slightly) each piece of the infrastructure puzzle (some glaringly missing for some time) are finally in place. Those involved like Mr Briggs as well @giozzi Ryan Davis (check me there) Fahmi from Midnight and Murasaki from emurgo, (im a little shaky especially on the last two) getting it done and well done. Please tag if you have the right member, I want props to goto the proper user acct they def deserve the recognition.

When in the middle of something as important as setting the foundation for a decentralized governance structure, where we had a shift out of the initial leadership into a interim leadership. I cant in good conscious recommend anyone else for panel review out of the pool of candidates, unless I have specific knowledge of the past experience (what companies/projects they actually worked for) currently all the info is in a general format. I have worked with and known Jack for quite sometime now and find him to have both the experience for the role and more importantly the leadership capabilities. This isnt something I hope he will do well at, this is based off of actual accomplishments thus far and his ability to lead a team, especially thru a very difficult time. That being said I will be voting for only one candidate to be considered for the "Panel Review" best of luck to the rest of the candidates applying and here is to the success of Cardano in the age of Voltaire.

Keeping the optimism light does not mean you are blindly going thru life constantly thinking about your own survival. If you stop to just read and hear what people in our eco are actually saying, you will also hear about lessons learned, insight from past experience and the understanding that not everything comes easy and you won't always succeed the first time no matter where you are in the Cardano food chain. "All that being said, I’m not losing sight of the fact that it’s great to see so much opportunity being brought forward for the ecosystem. Aside from the news on JPG Store, I’d rather have all this going on than not!" "Rejection shouldn’t always be seen negatively. It’s a decision point normally based on multiple reasons, and many DReps regularly say they would review revised submissions again" I am better for all my experiences here in Cardano after 7 years both good and bad, I am better as a human because of all the people around me and their actions both good and bad (the bad teaches you what not

The price of ADA is important because it affects literally everything in the ecosystem, from the profitability of SPOs, the ability to build, to the fair distribution of resources across the ecosystem. IO+Tweag+FEs will always require a minimum necessary budget in dollar terms. If the price of ADA is low next cycle, we will fund FE, and nothing will enter the ecosystem. This year, it will probably be like 70% infra + operations, 30% the rest. We can't afford for the ratio to be even worse next year.

There are business minded people in the space - as the chain started as a research & tech first, we need some transition and include also business frameworks - we see it now in the budget process. My focus and expertise is on enterprise adoption - which I believe it is a big opportunity for Cardano Three things to do better: 1. A Vertical Strategy 2. Lead Generation & Enterprise Onboarding 3. Business task force (Pentad style) We had some opportunities in the past and we failed to make them happen as we do not have the right frameworks to support them Here you can find some more thoughts: https://t.co/YtnxKR8vPj https://t.co/u5Hjpdd7M1 is an example of a vertical approach go to market, here is more details: https://t.co/O52zmWQ3WL This vertical alone can probably meet the vision 2030 KPIs - imagine if we work on 5...
