Nine years ago today, Cardano minted its first block. A global community has been building this blockchain ever since. Some are in this video, and many more are reading this. This celebration is yours. Happy 9th birthday, Cardano.

Earlier this year, the SEC classified $ADA as a digital commodity, not a security. However, this classification only appears in the explanation of the new crypto rules, not in the rules themselves. Six blockchain organizations have asked the SEC to write it into the rules. We co-signed the letter, alongside @StellarOrg, @Hedera, @AptosLabs, @AvaLabs and @Chainlink.

More regulation doesn’t mean better regulation. We just released a response to the EU’s MiCA review consultation, where we call for greater regulatory clarity and to improve the existing framework rather than expanding it. Read our response: cardanofoundation.org/blog/m…

Introducing the Cardano Research Exchange #1 The Cardano Research Exchange is a series of live, interactive sessions that brings research happening across the Cardano ecosystem into the spotlight. The aim is to make ongoing research more visible, give researchers a platform to share their work, and create opportunities for the community to contribute feedback and help shape what gets explored next. The series welcomes research initiatives from across the ecosystem, including other research teams. Researchers can share ongoing work, discuss their findings, and gather input from the community, while participants get a better understanding of the research taking place across Cardano and the opportunity to contribute their own perspectives. In this first episode, led by @manv_sc and Juan Ignacio Beccuti Vázquez, we take a high-level look at the @Cardano_CF's research initiatives. This session serves as part 1 of a 3-part series, with the following two sessions taking a closer look at research related to "The Effect of Parameter Changes on SPO and Delegator Incentives." Topics covered in Episode #1: 00:01 - Introduction to the Cardano Research Exchange 03:57 - Core Research Focus Areas 05:54 - Overview of Research Streams & Publications 08:35 - Ongoing Research Initiatives 13:22 - Upcoming Sessions: Parameter Changes, Incentives & Monetary Policy

Let Gio know what you think or do different regarding cardano-dev-skills. 👇 xitter.cf/CryptoJoe101/status/21…
📢 cardano-dev-skills v2 is taking shape. v1 helped AI agents write better Cardano code, faster. v2 takes you from the first line of code to production: nodes, pools and indexers, without overpaying for infra. What would you improve, or like to see done differently? 👇

This week, the focus is on making CIPs work for the people using them. Existing tokens, real-world NFT data and node software details are all on the table in the latest snapshot from @COSDpool (Robert Phair). 🧵

Active Review: this period focuses primarily on ecosystem issues for existing CIPs. CIP-0113: Separate programmable custody from issuance - supports existing CNTs and external mint/burn workflows, or any standardised process for tokens like USDM and USDA to achieve regulatory compliance through the newly launched “programmable tokens” standard. github.com/cardano-foundatio… CIP-0068: Possible new version - in response to a CF survey of real-world NFT data published to Cardano over the last several years, considering: github.com/cardano-foundatio… URI schemes: Arweave is allowed, Iagon is not. github.com/cardano-foundatio… Allow NFTs without an image. github.com/cardano-foundatio… Plutus constructors in metadata. github.com/cardano-foundatio…
