Actually insane. Not voting on a few proposals is one thing but to not vote on so many is crazy. Tons of Dreps should just retire at this point tbh.
15 of the current live proposals are expiring within the next 10 days. The voting participation across the DReps remains very low; Only about 17% of the DReps are actively voting on the proposals.

Following ratification, enactment will now take place on July 18, 2026 at 21:45 UTC. This is a final call to action for anyone yet to update their infrastructure to a hard fork compatible version to do so as soon as possible.

AI on Cardano Update
Last week we had our first ever "AI on Cardano" call for everyone interested in this topic.
The goal of this forum is to
- Establish a platform to talk about AI developments, discuss standards, form working groups and present work
- Establish Cardano as en it comes to AI development
- Foster more collaboration
In the first call we mostly went over whats currently happening on other chains, what this forum should be used for and a brief introduction.

one of the pervasive lies of cardano is that it has great tech and lags because of bad marketing.
in reality cardano lacks fundamental features of blockchains (and are basically impossible to properly add):
1. events are missing
2. ABIs are missing
3. data-heavy use-cases like L2s are infeasible
4. privacy / crypto-heavy use-cases are basically blocked
5. compute-heavy use-cases can't be atomic
6. state channels are missing features to really deliver
7. composition is so limited at the protocol level that most dApps live in isolation

I'm serious and sincere. I think I'm missing something. Indexers seem to be the obvious answer here. Pretty sure Cardano has a bunch of them. Some easier to extend than others. Whats missing?

This is a critical moment for all the proposers of the affected actions, no question. What needs to be done is also in their hands and Cardano as a Community can help.

Trying to ratify the affected proposals before the HF is an option. Sorting them out after the HF applies is also.
Sure it will be cumbersome post HF but we need to keep in mind that WE, DReps, SPOs, governance action authors and everybody holding ADA now make the calls!

🧵1/3 Calling all single pool SPOs. @realfi_co is preparing its launch in Cardano and we are exploring a Single Pool Accelerator with selected single pool operators.
This may be the help you’ve been looking for. For anyone new to it, RealFi connects on-chain capital to real-world markets through a stablecoin designed to be backed by US Treasuries, money market funds, and private credit.
If you’re a single pool operator with roughly 1M to 12M ADA delegated, please register an expression of interest via the form I’ll link in the thread below. This is research, not an offer.
If you think single pool SPOs should help shape the RealFi launch in Cardano, please RT and share.

Most of us interact with Cardano through an indexer or an API.
Let's go one layer down: open a raw socket to a mainnet relay and pull a block straight off the wire — in ~25 lines of Rust with Pallas. 🦀
No node, no indexer. Just you and the protocol. 🧵👇

> the block we want: a (slot, header hash) point
How come it always is a slot+hash combination in most cardano libs I see. Isn't the hash enough?

Wir haben super viele deutsche Cardano Startups, darüber habt ihr noch nie geschrieben. Statt dessen wenn's mal Drama gibt direkt aus den Löchern kriechen. Unglaublich echt.

Great news!
We updated our Diffusion Staking Basket UI to also reflect additional NIGHT and ATMA token rewards!
If you hover over the APY, you'll get a breakdown of the full APY details.
Based on current token valuations, you're earning around 4% staking APY with Diffusion! 🔥

Cardano community: "UTxO are foundametally parallel design, that is why Cardano is superior"
So called devs designing an extremely simple application: "why don't we force actions that have literally 0 ( ZERO ) contention to be executed sequentially"
These are the same people a feature and not a bug btw

Sure, UTXOs don't lock each other out but in the context of a validator I can imagine the case where you would want existing UTXOs to be interacted with in a specific order. What's wrong with business or legal reasons being encoded in a smart contract? Isn't that what they exist?
