Cardano (ADA)

An update on our engagement with @Mastercard. While Cardano was not included in the initial cohort of 85 launch partners, @emurgo_io has been actively engaging with their APAC team to change that and ensure our ecosystem is represented. Following a leadership transition at Mastercard APAC —where our primary contact moved to EY — we have successfully connected with his successors. They were excited to speak with us and I am pleased to share we are now in the Qualification Stage for the Global Crypto Partner Program. With the continued support of the Cardano community, I am confident in a positive outcome. This important: Please like and share to show @Mastercard the strength of our ecosystem. Mastercard is a global firm.. we need to show them that our inclusion into their Partner Program will make a difference to them. Surely this is an initiative the entire Cardano ecosystem can support! #cardano86 Let's go!!! #cardano #mastercard @Cardano_CF @Cardano @IOGroup @midnightfdn

New technical writing blog from IOG DeFi Product Consultant Rusty (@__fallen_icarus) The Seed of DeFi: Why the Future of Finance Must be Planted, Not Built Rusty designed both the non margin credit market and the order book, and created prototypes for each to demonstrate they work. Rusty’s core idea is simple. DeFi does not need more features. It needs the right foundation. Start with three primitives: • payments • a non margin credit market • an order book exchange Blockchains already provide payments. The DeFi Kernel adds the missing pieces: the credit market and the order book. Rusty believes this could become the killer dApp Cardano has been waiting for.

Grok agrees. It doesn’t take much knowledge in business and finance to understand this. I strongly urge @Cardano_CF to reconsider where they park this liquidity. https://t.co/g6yMLhuuMq

It’s 8 figures in ADA, not USD, and in my opinion, spreading it over multiple stablecoins won’t solve the issue. This is a drop in the bucket of what is needed, and we’ll still have a number of illiquid stablecoins instead of focusing on one single coin to provide deep liquidity.

Data for @Cardano is now available on Dune! Complete on-chain coverage spanning transactions, staking, smart contracts, governance, stablecoins, and DeFi protocol activity, all queryable and ready for analysis.

Huge news!!! Let’s make some noise to get Cardano represented in the first cohort of 85 launch partners with @Mastercard For those of you who aren’t sure what this is about, here’s the deal and it could be massive for Cardano: https://t.co/2DsfsXWLkx
