Delegate to CarPool. Member pricing is on CP Health.
If your pool has gone quiet, filled up, or you're already thinking about moving, CarPool is a single-pool operator you can talk to. Delegate, then verify on CP Health. There's a path there for practitioner-quality supplements at member pricing. Create a free dispensary account through our link, connect your Cardano wallet, and verify. It can deepen with how much you delegate and how long you stay. About every three months you re-verify. If the delegation lapses, you return to baseline.

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…

I’m working on something for midnight, almost none of it was designed by me. It’s the magnum opus of my Halloween. 🎃 👻
I'm working on a concept that only midnight can bring to the cryptocurrency space that solves most of the problems. Almost have all of it designed conceptually. It's the magnum opus of my career

New on the blog: Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano. What is actually live, what is still a demo, and what the 2026 treasury vote decided. Short version: the voters funded the plumbing and turned down the headline product. pool.fluid7.com/blog/bitcoin…

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.

Midnight wallets can now start with an email or social sign-in. As of Oct 1, Dynamic, a Fireblocks company, supports Midnight in its wallet SDK. A new user signs in and gets an embedded non-custodial wallet, with no browser extension at the start. People who already have 1AM or Gero can connect through Midnight's official dApp connector. It handles all three of Midnight's wallet surfaces: the unshielded address for public transfers, the shielded address for private ones, and DUST for fees. Midnight says the keys use threshold signatures, so they never sit in one place. The privacy model is unchanged, and the first step now looks like a normal app login. Curious which Midnight dApp uses it first.

OKCoin Japan lists NIGHT on October 13, with order-book trading, the sales counter, recurring buys, and deposits and withdrawals on Cardano. It's the second registered Japanese exchange to carry NIGHT, after S.BLOX in August. OKJ says it's the first to offer $NIGHT on an order book in Japan. $ADA has traded on OKJ since 2022, with staking since 2024. Now the privacy layer built alongside Cardano trades under the same registration, Kanto Local Finance Bureau No. 00020. Japan registers every exchange and screens what it lists. Midnight's design is to prove what a rule requires and keep the rest private. Curious how Japanese users put it to work once the order book is open to everyone.
