The highlights of the days with Cardano friends🥹The year 2025 was started with a tremendous amount of research on Cardano. I had no idea where to find the people. No Cardano friends. But after pitching about our projects at DraperU, traveling all over continents, many people held our hands and offered us supports, I mean supports all among the community @YaadLabs @Cardano @Cardano_CF @Catalyst_onX @Waffle_Capital ...look at what we have. Today, we've got friends who we can send not USD through Venmo but ADA (using @adahandle) whenever & wherever we are. Friends in so many different countries in the world🌏 Isn't it amazing? #Cardano #DraperU
We’ve officially wrapped the Cardano X Draper University Founder Residency Program.
Over five weeks, founders didn’t just build—they lived, learned, and grew together in person. From sharing meals to late-night brainstorms, the energy in the room was electric. This is what makes Draper University programs different.
🔵 "You can’t build real relationships from home. The energy exchange at events and coffee meetings is irreplaceable."
🔵 "Being in-person created real momentum: the pace, focus, and energy were on a different level compared to remote programs. Quick feedback loops, spontaneous strategy sessions, and constant exposure to ambitious founders helped us level up fast."
🔵 “We did in afternoons what it would normally take months to coordinate.”
The Cardano X DraperU Founder Residency Program is proudly funded by the Cardano Community Treasury, made possible through a community-approved vote via Project Catalyst.
We wanted to thank the @Cardano, @Cardano_CF, @Catalyst_onX and @YaadLabs for their support.

Cardano x DraperU Founder Residency - Pitch Day Lookbook - PART 2/4
@crashr_io - Trade anything for anything.
Unlike conventional platforms that often restrict trades to specific asset pairs, Crashr's protocol allows users to trade any combination of digital assets—be it NFTs, stablecoins, or cryptocurrencies—in a single transaction. This flexibility is achieved through their advanced smart contract system, which consolidates listing and offer functionalities, simplifying user interactions and enhancing the trading experience.
@Cur8Labs - A home for everything you own on-chain.
Cur8 unifies over 1,200+ NFT projects across hundreds of protocols into one cross-chain platform—giving users a single place to discover, collect, and showcase digital assets. It’s also a launchpad for artists of all kinds to share and monetize their work, no matter where it lives on-chain.
@DeltaDeFi - Enabling high-frequency trading on-chain.
High-frequency trading (HFT) accounts for 50% of daily trade volume for equities markets. But crypto remains at less than 20%. Why? Latency, gas fees, and slow finality
DeltaDeFi is changing that. Built on Cardano Hydra, it enables HFT with off-chain order management, programmatic access, and zero cost until execution, bringing speed and scale to decentralized markets.
@DirectEdDev - Funding education for developing nations
DirectEd connects donors and investors to students in underserved regions through blockchain-powered Income Sharing Agreements. Students receive funding upfront and repay only when earning. Smart contracts ensure funds go directly to education—bringing transparency, accountability, and long-term impact to global learning.
@FluidTokens - Don’t Sell Your Assets— HODL & Leverage
FluidTokens is a Cardano-native DeFi platform unlocking liquidity from non-traditional assets—NFTs, native tokens, and real-world representations—without selling them. Users can borrow, lend, and pool capital using idle on-chain assets as collateral, expanding what’s possible in DeFi on eUTxO chains.
Excited to meet some of the startups on Demo Day? DM to apply for more details. Invite only.

there’s a reason everyone in crypto is building infrastructure and barely anyone is building actual apps.
it’s simple to raise millions selling the dream of building the base layer to onboard the the next hundred million users.
it’s much harder to build apps that anyone actually wants to use, so the easy way out is to just build another “x” infra layer **but this time mine is different and better**

There are no "bad" questions, but there are poorly formatted questions.
Learning how to format questions well will help you when interacting with both humans & AIs
