1 more slot assigned next epoch too. The good run continues!
Consider staking with HEPHY.

Cardano Upgrade News π οΈ ποΈ
A public Dijkstra testnet is now available! SPOs can begin onboarding using Node 11.1.3 on pv11. Epochs are 1-day in length.
Timeline:
- Protocol version 11 (Conway) on node 11.1.3
- Node 11.2 Pre-Release
- Hard Fork Initiation action
- Hard fork for protocol version 12 (Dijkstra) using node 11.2
- Integration and testing against the Dijkstra feature set (minus Leios)
Resources available in the next post. Happy testing!

How does a global community decide what gets built next?
@JBriggsLondon, Executive Director of @IntersectMBO, sat down with @theblockopedia_ at TOKEN2049 Singapore to talk one member, one vote, funding for builders, and where AI agents and privacy are heading.
βItβs probably actually unique in the whole of the industry.β

Cardano governance action creators insisting on using GitHub links, permalinks and the "y" key are your friends.

Looks great. Keep going.
Few things like a leader log check showing a slot assigned next epoch on your birthday to lighten the mood after a rough day. First time that's ever happened I think. Thanks Ouroboros! π π₯³

It's that time of the year, we are hosting the second node diversity workshop of the year in London on the 12th & 13th of November π
But this time it won't just be node implementers together, we also want DReps, SPOs to orchestrate high value targets for Cardano node development β
Day 1 will be a conversation facilitated around two key themes: Mainnet readiness; Network upgrades
Day 2 will be an open forum to tackle topics with the people gathered in the room such as: Testing; CCRI; Documentation...
If you want to know more about it or bring something to the attention of the people there, use this π

β Receiving address not delegated to an SPO

Delegated to always_abstain
The Constitution has been around long enough at this point.
So have testnets.

Daedalus upgrading to cardano-node-11.1.3 before a number of SPOs on this app π
#Cardano #CardanoCommunity $ADA
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.

Running a stake pool means more than producing blocks.
Keeping infrastructure updated, monitoring network health and participating in testing are essential responsibilities.
Those who follow me know that I take this seriously and am taking care of it!
Reliability matters.
Update #132 is out to keep you up to date with Ecosytem news: intersectmbo.org/news/intersβ¦
π Programmable tokens live on mainnet.
π ~30% of block production on Cardano mainnet is still on node versions older than 11.1.2, three weeks after release.
π Veridian spun out as an independent company with its shares tokenized under the new standard.
π And CAP-12 came back revised after a comment caught a flaw.

Thanks for the reminder and for your continued support! ππ
203 signers is a wake-up call. We need more SPOs participating, and we're committed to making onboarding easier.
To all SPOs: keep your signers running. To delegators: support the pools helping secure Mithril.
Decentralization needs participation! π‘οΈβ‘

Happy to see friends at @Upstream_ada topping the pool health rankings by @Hardfork_OT π

New epoch and we're currently down to 203 registered Mithril Signers.
If you're updating your nodes, remember to restart your Signers.
To the #CardanoCommunity, you funded the continuation of Mithril when development moved from IOG to @TeragoneFactory, consider supporting those SPOs running the technology now you funded it π #Stake2Signers
We are now at the lowest number of registered Signers since Epoch 473 (March 15, 2024).

Thanks for the continued coverage! Really appreciate it! π
We've just published our Mithril 2027 roadmap (==> github.com/orgs/IntersectMBOβ¦), we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
We also share development updates every two weeks, at the end of each sprint, covering what we've shipped, key milestones and what's coming next.
Plenty of exciting things ahead, and we'd be happy to keep you in the loop! β‘π
Replying to @TeragoneFactory
Thanks again. Mithril shows up in the commit count every week. What are you shipping next? We'd like to cover it when it lands.
Put together a little tool to try and be more active on other channels π₯
1 button. 5 channels.
Doing the trick so far π
