Cardano (ADA)

Building on Cardano makes sense when the product depends on reliability, resilience and security. Those qualities come from the architecture, the consensus design and the discipline used to upgrade the protocol without compromising the integrity of the ledger. That is why Cardano remains a strong foundation for systems built to last.

#Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has reassured the community that a major announcement involving #Midnight is still on the way. His comments came after rumors emerged that the highly anticipated Japanese partnership he teased in June had collapsed following a partnership between Japanese financial giant SBI Group and the Solana Foundation. As previously reported, SBI Group partnered with the Solana Foundation as part of efforts to position Japan as a leading hub for institutional on-chain finance in Asia. Consequently, some Cardano community members questioned whether SBI was the same company Hoskinson had referenced several weeks earlier. One community member suggested that the newly announced SBI–Solana partnership could have been the deal Hoskinson had previously hinted at, arguing that the agreement may have fallen through before SBI ultimately chose Solana. However, Hoskinson swiftly dismissed the rumors and made it clear that the SBI–Solana partnership is unrelated to Midnight. According to the Cardano founder, the SBI collaboration had “nothing to do” with the agreement he has been discussing. He also stressed that the anticipated announcement is “still pending,” indicating that the rollout remains ongoing rather than being canceled. https://t.co/snojRt8WNG

I just voted YES with 71.38 million ADA on the treasury withdrawal: Strike Finance V2 Treasury Deployment Proposal On behalf of all of my delegates. Rationale I am formally registering a YES vote on the Strike Finance V2 Treasury Deployment proposal. Each budget cycle demands a pragmatic balance between core infrastructure and ecosystem investment. I support this proposal because it offers productive returns when our viable yield-generation options are strictly limited. The perpetuals market is thriving globally, and anchoring this volume on Cardano is a strategic necessity. The Strike team has executed well—I have used the platform frequently in the past, though I hold no Strike tokens. Crucially, I strongly encourage the team to collaborate with L2 teams (like Hydra and Midgard) to ensure our scaling infrastructure is driven by genuine, high-volume market feedback rather than purely technical theories. Structurally, securing funds via an independent 3-of-3 multisig is a strong defense against collusion. However, future deployments of this magnitude must expand these committees to further decentralize control and eliminate single points of failure. While I ultimately advocate for a generic, ecosystem-wide stablecoin liquidity mechanism rather than protocol-specific applications, this proposal's strict drawdown limits and 12-month timeline make it a responsible, risk-managed deployment today. Thank you to the Strike team for building on Cardano. To all other projects, there is opportunity here, and we are watching and listening. Transaction https://t.co/lqjh2ufe9I

I appreciate @dannyribar reaching out and doing his upmost best to explain it professionally. I explained my side and he explained catalyst point of view. Just for clarity the email is not from Danny but he's doing his best to provide clarity. Thanks Daniel, you know my thoughts CF has done a great job at improving catalyst after taking over from IOG. Still a lot of work needed but I'm happy that they take the feedback on the chin
