I'm sad to see the developer ecosystem challenge did not make the cut in the project catalyst. Cardano has one of the most developer challenging and unfriendly environment and I think it is critical to change that.
Cardano mainnet launched about 4 years ago, but just in the last 3 months, the storage taken by the db synced chain has doubled from 30G to 60G. Just saying.

Incentivized Testnet network wallet Daedalus is going to be released in the next few hours. Delegating your funds is very easy, just few clicks, takes no more than a minute to complete, as you can see in this animation.
Looking forward to build this tool stack for developers with Cardano Foundation and Emurgo! Making the Cardano ecosystem developer friendly is our mission.

NFT Maker is one of the most critical ecosystems to drive the adoption of Cardano. I'm very excited to be able to help and advise this incredible skilled team on its awesome journey. 💚

I'm really amazed with , a new wallet with DEX integration on Cardano (among others). But don't take my word for it, go to and try it for yourself with some testnet tokens. Also check out their roadmap for 2022.

RECAP time!
Last Saturday, we held the first official PoA meet-up in Nigeria. Attendees learned everything about stakepools, and how to launch one successfully.
Besides, during February we will be running MULTIPLE nodes from Nigeria to participate in the Cardano ITN.
Intensive focus group workshop organized by

with
@CardanoStiftung
and several stake pool operators in London. Mostly focused on ITN retrospective and the future of Shelley. It was a pleasure to be part of it.
In light of the recent controversy regarding

testnet beta staking pool did run for 26 straight days with no downtime, producing almost 1500 blocks for the network. Now, it's time for the (almost) real thing.

I'm sharing a first draft of the Sundae v3 whitepaper with a few people whose opinion I value and trust today, with permission to tweet their honest impressions (even if they're negative), provided they don't share any specific details. Keep an eye out for those reactions. :)
Two years already, doing everything in our power to stay independent and still provide bootstrap to many projects building on Cardano.
I'm very proud of my team.

@SebastienGllmt
Haha I remember that Twitter space the week before Alfonso when someone asked you when defi Dapps would launch. And you replied 3-4 months. 30 seconds of stunned silence followed 😂
LION, FRGL1, HRBR, ACL, COOL, CALM... just few of the malicious pools. They are harming the network and causing rewards losses for all participants. Until this is fixed by the software, do not delegate to these pools anymore. Check the full list at .
Testnet under adversary attack! Can we defend the cheating stakepools bad behaviour? Should delegators reconsider their delegation to one of the identified pools listed on
There is a change we might take Cardano Stack Exchange out of beta really soon. But we need help! Developers, please comment, vote and most importantly answer unanswered questions!
Finally, NFTs without the ugly timelock hack are now easy. This is the proper way how NFTs should have been on Cardano. Hopefully it is not too late.
Good job Alessandro, it is refreshing to see that someone is actually pushing the possibilities of this chain forward.
I released a few months ago an NFT contract, where you can release a series of NFTs without time constraints and have the option to burn these NFTs at any point (similar to the ERC-721). Yet the time locking policy is pretty much the only policy being used.

After a lot of pressure, LION and LION4 are almost the only stake pools behaving in a harmful way to the network. Well done, community, I'm proud of all delegators that moved to honest pools.
This time we were lucky, but what the next time? Yes, cardano-db-sync is part of the critical infrastructure and needs to be treated that way, but we as a community need to build alternative tools, as that is decentralization too.
Very sad to see Cardano Foundation ignoring open source wallets in this list.
Compromising security for user experience is troublesome. Cardano is the only major crypto ecosystem that constantly promotes closed source signing software.
Today, removed Daedalus to prevent new users from being persuaded to believe that a full node is the best solution for them, which could lead to a horrible user experience + complaints about a 75 GB download.

After a week? Probably very few. But it is clear a large number of these will be just noise. Just to compare, there are more than 350k tokens on Ethereum, hard to say how many of these are "real" projects.
Dear Cardano community, we are very grateful for your trust in our team and the project. Almost all of our catalyst proposals has been funded. We will not let you down. Thank you.🎉
Important announcement: We launched a v2 market place which uses a new contract.
There are two reasons why we did that and we want to be fully tranparent here:👇
Cardano developers! I'm very existed to announce our latest product, we spent a lot of hours working on it and we will continue to make it better. Give it a try and provide your feedback! 😎
🔥Introducing ! An instant, public and freely accessible API that removes the obstacles for developers, so that everyone can start building apps on Cardano.
Looks like the Polkadot chain has been down for more than an hour today and most of the services are still stuck. Lessons to be learned, I hope Cardano's community will develop an alternative node clients sooner than later.
Iagon's response to the claim that them being vendor locking is dangerous for end users:
Yes, it is but others are doing it as well!
They are missing the point, this whole ecosystem was created not to make money to investors, but to build a more fair and free way of doing
@CardanoNoodz
The same can be said for Amazon or any other closed source software that we use in our daily lives.
If Amazon all the sudden was shutdown by the government, what would happen to all the websites on earth?

As you probably know, the ITN rewards are over. StakeNuts pools have distributed almost 6 millions of ITN ADA rewards to our delegators, by creating more than 7 000 blocks. Thank you for your trust, see you on the mainnet!

We don't charge for this, but a new guy on our side has sent out an invoice by mistake. That's our fault and we made it clear in the email. Feel free to read the emails between CMC and ERG to know more. It's not about fees, it's that we can't remove the historical price data.

, we are a company doing 100% Cardano development, full time, for over two years and we are powering much of the everyday Cardano ecosystem.
The SEC failed to mention companies like dcSpark (

I don't see how entities that received treasury funds are less "official" than IOG or CF
In which case there are literally thousands of official Cardano entities
We, as so many, also need your support, in this Fund 10.💡How are we different?
🎯 Providing free access since day one - if you have used Cardano, you have used Blockfrost
🎯 No vendor locking, you can just run your own as many institutions and banks are already doing it
🎯 No
