Seeing lots of discussion surrounding stable liquidity. While being approach-agnostic at the moment, i want to set some reference for the community.

Let's compare 3 approaches, says deploying 20k and we check +- 1% slippage range.

👶 A typical AMM 👉 ~$50.
🧑 A 30% range AMM 👉 ~$422 (8x improvement!)
☠️ CLOB + professional MM 👉 $5242 (105x)

Let alone the CLOB approach is the only one that we have full control on how much risky asset exposure we want to take, even MM is done at both side (you can have 0 exposure on ADA while market making ADAUSD).

Liquidity issue is not merely about bumping money, but also use it smartly. This is also something the financial market has SOLVED years ago.

Prove me any initiatives can spend / utilize money wisely.

ps. The CLOB one isn't a theoretical number, the 5k +- 1% is currently live at DeltaDeFi.

I promise cardano community that we will persist building with resilience no matter how harsh the feedback is.

Start analyzing all the voting rationales on our first info action GA (can't express how im grateful for all dreps voting with rationales, no matter yes or no🫡).
wn on governance, we are not merely building another proposal viewer tool. Giving a preview on how we can btw progress cardano governance and its participation. With only 1 prompt in claude connected with cgov-mcp, i can gather voting results and rationale analysis in a structure way.

Wonder whats the preliminary result and want to express interest to try it out? comment below to lmk🔥

Anyone ever wonder why we can maintain such a close spread on ADAUSDM even at launch? We are running an extremely lean team with about 25k USD liquidity deployed in market making, and we are utilizing 10-20% currently to start the market

Yes, that means we are only using 2.5-5k r ~200USD liquidity with <0.2% all cost included (spread + fee we charged). That sounds little, but if we want to have equivalent slippage on a swap, that requires ~100K USD liquidity provided to a pool, ignoring all the fees (L1 + protocol related).

What's the magic behind an order book DEX running such a capital efficiency? We are indeed not bumping liquidity merely through the capital we deployed, but we bridge liquidity from CEXs through market making. All the tight spread limit orders you see in DeltaDeFi are actually legitimate profit-generating attempts, when you are enjoying <0.2% cost, the market making efforts are profiting about 0.03% each trade, by taking slight software latency risks.

But here's the key: this is only possible when value can frictionlessly transfer in-and-out of CEXs and DEXs in a cost-efficient way. And this is exactly why continued progress on stablecoin infrastructure matters, whether that's the work USDM has been doing or the arrival of USDCx

It is still early to comment on whether USDCx will be the superior option for every use case, but without a doubt, its arrival marks another milestone for the Cardano ecosystem, improving the breadth of stable conversion options that capital-efficient models like ours depend on.

Proud to be part of Cardano seeing this unfold. We might be slow, but we are executing with precision steadily. Good vibes for Cardano in 2026🔥
Hello from Japan. Just signed the integration agreement for USDCx on Cardano. Welcome to Cardano Circle! We are all excited about the possibilities.

The governance action has been onchain for 10+ days. As first time proposer, here is some of my thoughts.

🔹Dis-information floods around the internet, and it is hard to explain. Some mentioned Hydra hasn’t launched, some think DeltaDeFi can only serves single digit users as ad. None of these are true, but I can’t explain them all.

🔹Cardano governance has certainly improved since the 39 proposals time, on average DReps vote with better quality rationale.

And I have received some questions on motivation, here I would explain some of our thoughts.

🔸Why GA, why Treasury?

We believe DeltaDeFi, and its development is community good. More resources of building DeltaDeFi is spent in open source than DeltaDeFi itself. In the journey of building DeltaDeFi, we left our footprint in open source all-around - we contributed significantly to MeshJS feature complete, built the entire SIDAN Lab open source suite, and now pushing PR to Hydra.

We are an extremely efficient team. We believe we can generate more value than we consume for Cardano ecosystem regardless the pathway, as one of our old friends mentioned.

🔸What does the GA actually mean?

The high level idea of the GA is to ship DeltaDeFi, and make sure it is not just another unused adopted DApp around. A direct consequence is to contribute to the Cardano Vision 2030 so we prove Cardano is not a ghost chain.

Funding is important, but more importantly is the symbolic meaning. its representing a force of adoption, which believes it requires extra-ordinary active efforts to make Cardano widely adopted, to a scale of as a go-to location to develop new blockchain use cases.

There is no right or wrong of whether in the team of adoption, but it is a gesture shown to builders who care, who will in turn come and go.

🔸So why should ecosystem fund private initiative?

In long term we want to position DeltaDeFi as an ecosystem centric project. We can certainly commit for a payback for the proposal. And ironically, it was indeed included in the first draft of this GA, just we thought it might complicate the administration for a relatively small proposal (it is indeed just 600k with current ADA price). We’d happy to see the treasury succeeds before us.

🔸Final thought

We will address most valid feedback collected so far, draft a more pure ecosystem-centric proposal.

For the time being, we appreciate DReps continue voting on current proposal with rationale, so the entire ecosystem has a better understanding about where we are standing.

I deeply feel it indeed everytime looking at order filling logics at @DeltaDeFi😂 But as a tool builder, it is endency as every function seemingly reusuable i build kinda wanna help wider people /community save some hours. not sure what should i do about these.

Waking up seeing some red rings and @jackalSIDAN murmuring some spells from harry potter, a few moments later we are back to live🫨
Second day into our public testnet we run into a severe issue which leading to downtime in the trading platform. TLDR of the incident:

🌟We under-provision resources for the cloud instance running hydra node
🌟The hydra state partially corrupted in a recoverable way which requires manual resolution
🌟And we reosolved it! Everyone can continue testing in our alpha environment

The issue is indeed the best things we could hope for in running the testnet - exposing as much critical issues as possible so we could ensure the production launch is seamless. Final remarks:

🌟Reassure, nothing about fund safety is involved. There is clear pathway to recover all states, trades and funds even if it happens in mainnet
🌟We are creating an issue in hydra repository, to work with hydra team to generalize solutions for fellow projects developing on hydra experiencing same issue
🌟We are truely impressed by the quality of our first batch of testers! With only 45 accounts testing, there has been 72,211 transactions accumulated in a days (so busted our cloud services)

Cannot be more bullish, thanks everyone for breaking!

Have been grinding hard for @DeltaDeFi public testnet, been bit late, but these are my takeaways / thoughts in this Berlin trip.

On roundtable.

We discussed the an important topic which is also @Cardano_CF's mission - how to fill the blocks. I have been thinking about this g invitation to this roundtable.
I genuinely think that if we put more efforts into below areas, we could eventually filling the blocks:

🔹Dumb-proof UX

More focus should be put on make the product usable but not merely get the tech works. Minimize the barriers of Cardano community to try out Cardano DApps, and that of outsiders to try out Cardano.

🔹Invest in toolings, not only core tech

Cardano community has long been a little too much tech-supremacy. Leios is good, but it doesn’t matter much if developing on Cardano costs 10x than in other L1s. If we try to trace the history of Cardano, we have invested incredibly little into core toolings like @meshsdk empowering most DApps of Cardano. If we can improve this layer, not letting every single developer to learn about node errors plainly and bring 10x → 5x → and eventually at level playing field with other L1s, that’s the pivotal point of Cardano DApps start blossoming.

🔹Production-ready scaling technology

With the protocol parameters right now, Cardano's fee is not competitive at all. We are proud of ourselves having low tx fee in the community. However, in wider crypto community, most deem current Cardano tx fee is already too high, when there are more and more blockchain provides close to 0 fees. While most blockchain applications don’t care which blockchain they are living in, the only pathway to expand the possible opportunity set of building on Cardano is by shipping the L2 technology, no matters Hydra, midgard or @SundialProtocol. We are in urgent need of something production ready to again, back to the level playing field.

Even so, with current net change limit, filling the block doesnt mean Cardano economy is then sustainable. Tho I dont like to talk about price in general, but we still need ADA market cap to grow by a few Xs at least.

So i generally advocate any treasury withdraw request should explain how the spending would grow the value of our ecosystem as a whole but not that particular projects. And for @sidan_lab drep, my voice in our consortium would check against if proposals align with my framework above (ofcoz, always changing with new info)

---

It has been a wonderful trip so far, successfully map some more faces to twitter handles.

@SchlegelQuirin - thanks for picking me up at airport! Drop by Cardano community home and being served local dinner is always the best part i love working in Cardano💙

@planetmaaz - Guess we didnt come up with consensus yet - bring other projects to cardano? or we built our own? Been enjoyed the intellectual simulating discussion about these ideas. We should continue this topic somewhere🤙

@matiwinnetou - Learn so much more about CF engineering team. And would definitely reach out if we need any system scaling advice🫡

@C1cADA_Markus First time i have a holistic view about how CF approach community. Love the efforts & would certainly reach out for community event live-streaming🙌

And also many old friends, not try to list all haha.

See you guys soon in Rare and summit!
Roundtable Talk #15: Economic Sustainability of Cardano

During the Cardano Berlin Hackathon, we hosted our first in-person Roundtable Talk, gathering community members to discuss Cardano’s economic sustainability.

Big thanks to @C1cADA_Markus, @design_thyme, @HinsonSIDAN, insights on ensuring Cardano’s long-term sustainability.

To help you navigate the discussion, here are several key moments:
