The new Cexplorer is now live for Cardano mainnet. 🔥 We've reworked the UI from the ground up for a better experience. Many pages stayed the same, many got better. This'll allow us to ship new features faster and keep making Cardano easier to read for everyone. 🫡

Replying to @InputEndorsers
Thank you, @InputEndorsers , for taking the time to review our proposal so carefully. We truly appreciate it, and we respect the questions you have raised. You are right that this was never only about technology. It is also about trust and political will. For many years, governments were reluctant to change decades old systems. Even when those systems were inefficient, they still worked, so there was little push to replace them. In recent years, this has changed. The Government of India has been very proactive in bringing digitisation to old legacy systems. But even with digitisation, one problem remained unsolved for the police department, and that problem is trust. Every time the integrity of evidence was questioned, cases dragged on, and the government spent a lot of money trying to resolve them. Today, we are seeing a real shift in mindset. Our previous project, the Forensic Management System (FMS), was the first step. When the government saw the real results FMS delivered, it changed how they look at technology in the justice system. That trust is what brought PFMS to this stage. FMS was the first step, and PFMS is the next big leap. The Cardano Treasury is not paying for one state’s software. It is funding an open source PFMS core, released under Apache 2.0, as a public good. Any state or country can reuse it without asking the Treasury to fund the core again. A conventional commercial contract where the government funds it does not solve this problem because it would defeat the purpose of this solution. If the police department builds and owns the system, it is still the same department proving that its own evidence was not changed. That is the conflict of interest you describe. The department does not want to carry the burden of proof itself. It wants a neutral system to carry it. That is why the government chose to use an open source core. Transparency is the core reason for this approach. With PFMS, the state pays 100% of Cardano transaction fees and for the infrastructure for deployment. None of the revenue generated by PFMS belongs to the government. 70% of the revenue goes to the Cardano Treasury, 20% to core Cardano library maintenance, and 10% to us. The government actively wants this change. Today, the burden of proof sits on the police. A small doubt can put the whole chain of evidence in question, cases take much longer, and the state spends a lot of money on these delays. PFMS solves these real problems. It proves that evidence has not been changed, quickly, and without anyone having to trust the department that holds it. It is one clear piece of the bigger problem, and these kinds of use cases are exactly where blockchain technology plays a vital role. FMS was only the beginning. It was the first real step toward proving that Cardano can help transform the public systems people depend on every day. Now, we stand at a far more important moment. We have the opportunity to move Cardano from proving what is possible to becoming a frontrunner in solving real, complex, human problems at scale. We’re very grateful for your time, consideration, and thoughtful questions, and we sincerely hope the additional context we’ve provided will encourage you to reconsider supporting this proposal. Thank you. 🙏

Last year, one Hydra head processed 3.5B NIGHT during @MidnightNtwrk’s Glacier Drop. It also exposed a few bugs along the way. We replayed 24,576 claims on Hydra v2. The result? ⚡ 1.9× more claims per second ⚡ 2.3× faster settlement And a much simpler way to run a head. 👇 iog.io/news/hydra-v2-glacier…

What we are achieving is truly extraordinary. 🔵 More and more businesses are joining the Cardano ecosystem. 🔵 Through the USDCx bridge, increasing amounts of stablecoin liquidity are flowing into the network. 🔵 We have created hundreds of new wallets, bringing more users into the ecosystem. 🔵 Cardano has reached an all-time high in transactions per epoch, surpassing every previous record in its history. Let’s keep pushing forward!

Daedalus 11.5.0 is LIVE! New features: Diagnostics: a new Copy button copies the full diagnostic report to the clipboard as a formatted text block, ready to paste into a bug report. Mithril: a partial sync no longer leaves gaps in the local blockchain. Previously the most recent local chunk could be kept incomplete, after which the node could reject blocks or stop at "Replaying ledger". Wallet import from a Daedalus key file is now supported on the preprod and preview networks. Linux: native system packages are now available for Debian (.deb), RPM-based (.rpm), Arch (.pkg.tar.zst), and NixOS distributions. The watchdog now acts as the OS-level entry point and manages the full process hierarchy. Bug fixes: Windows: on a computer whose name contains non-English characters, cardano-node could fail at startup or stop syncing with a broken pipe error. This has been fixed. Dependency upgrades: cardano-node bumped to 11.1.3 It is recommended that all Daedalus users upgrade to this version.

Whats improved in SteelSwap v2? We greatly expanded our atomic swap capabilities. What are atomic swaps? Its when you bypass batchers (no fees!) and directly trade against liquidity pools. Before we supported @splashprotocol and a few other protocols, but v2 brings support for @DanoFinance and @__fallen_icarus limit orders that are a part of his defi kernel. Thats right, we are the first protocol to support the defi kernel order book. Whats even better is that we compose routes between these protocols all within a single transaction, bringing you the best prices on Cardano.

Many people don’t realize just how significant this is. Due to strict regulatory compliance requirements, exchanges in japan are often reluctant to list assets associated with privacy-focused blockchains. That’s precisely what makes this achievement so impressive. It demonstrates the outstanding work being done and just how competitive Smart Compliance and Selective Disclosure are compared to other privacy solutions. Excellent work, everyone! 🇯🇵❤️
NIGHT will be available on @OKCoinJapan starting October 13, 2026. 🇯🇵 As a registered crypto-asset exchange in Japan, OKJ expands access to NIGHT in one of the world’s most established digital asset markets. Following our announcement with S.BLOX, this marks another step in Midnight’s growing presence in Japan, bringing NIGHT to more users looking to explore privacy-enhancing infrastructure.

If you understand Bitcoin and what Cardano is building to connect with it, you’ll understand why it’s time to have a serious conversation about $ADA. Bitcoin is more than a digital currency. It’s a payment network that operates without a central bank. Cardano is a separate blockchain built to support applications and financial services without relying on a central authority. The compelling part is Cardano’s work on Bitcoin connectivity. The goal is to make Bitcoin-based funds and assets usable within Cardano applications without modifying Bitcoin’s core software. Cardano’s architecture is built around eUTXO, a structured model for tracking how digital funds can be spent. It uses proof of stake, allowing participants to help secure the network by committing ADA. It also supports native assets and smart contracts, giving developers the tools to create tokens, applications, and financial products directly on-chain. That creates a foundation for decentralized applications and DeFi: lending, trading, borrowing, and other financial services delivered through blockchain-based programs rather than traditional institutions. Several developments deserve close attention: Cardano’s progress on Bitcoin connectivity, adoption of its applications, growth in DeFi and stablecoins, scaling initiatives such as Hydra, and governance upgrades that could give ADA holders a greater role in shaping the network. None of this guarantees that ADA will rise. Market conditions still matter, including Bitcoin’s performance, regulatory developments, and whether users actually adopt what’s being built. But that’s precisely the point. Cardano is more than a speculative ticker. Its protocol, architecture, Bitcoin strategy, applications, and potential growth this bull cycle all warrant a serious discussion. And while no outcome is guaranteed, I believe ADA could move far more aggressively than most people are prepared for. Anyway, I’m going to train, but give this a read and also do your research on this entire topic.
