Cardano (ADA)

Cardano Critical Integrations V2 has now been submitted on-chain! This proposal requests ₳23M to support the next phase of Cardano’s critical infrastructure, covering Year 2 contracted costs, maintenance, enhancements, and ongoing delivery for Circle (USDCx), LayerZero, Pyth, and Dune, alongside a native Fireblocks integration. The proposal has been brought collaboratively through the Pentad structure by @Cardano_CF @IOGroup @emurgo_io & @midnightfdn, with Intersect acting as Administrator and a non-voting member responsible for administration and execution. The proposal is now with the community to review and vote on! See on explorers: Adastat ➡️ https://t.co/uz5YceuFlT CardanoScan ➡️ https://t.co/3PeeWTVKCx

I believe all the IO proposals for #Cardano are needed. I appreciate that most of the $ADA community actually agrees. They just have issues with the cost. A huge part of what we can sell as our unique offering is our security, uptime, future proofing, and world class R&D👇. In a world with quantum computers, AI, constant hacks, security breeches, lackluster uptime, exploits etc, Cardano is an oasis that can be monetized. That DNA comes from our R&D built up over a decade. It would be foolish to throw that out. Of all the proposals that needs to pass it should be the one that keeps that alive. Vote YES on Cardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO Research https://t.co/lyr21sA8gI

We need more "hands on" proof of concept demos of how "regular" users can use Cardano that are easily portable to non-crypto trade shows and events. Proof of Onboarding is okay but still a lot of friction trying to explain which of 18 different wallets a user should use... What about IoT sensors that log the temperature of the room every X minutes and record the data on chain? Point of Sale (POS) demos, etc. Combo this with a screen showing something like https://t.co/ERKHDQlA7I so users can "see" the transaction happening in at-or-near real time
