SPOs!
It is time to voice your opinion on HALVING the pool saturation, and INCREASING the effect of pledge.
Looking at some recent data:
Raising k to 1000 would mean 209 pools, representing 12.5b ada total (or 60% of total active stake), become over-saturated.
At least 89 of those are "private" and can seemingly re-arrange assets trivially to a second pool. Thus, at most 123 pools are 'actually' affected and if none of them would act, they would lose 27% of staking rewards for their delegators on average.
This creates a game theoretical inefficiency where those that stake with a "good" pool, are rewarded more, theoretically driving a strong (~30% incentive) to migrate to an unsaturated pool.
Read much more facts and opinions in this document created by @Cerkoryn, @intuitionismRus, and many more behind the scenes:

THEN VOTE! There wont be a better second chance than this one, as you have to rely on DReps to make the actual decision.
Because the currently live Action is an Info Action, no votes directly change a protocol parameter. Raising k would require a Parameter Update governance action, which may or may not be submitted, with any results within this info action, at anyone’s discretion.

1/ The Technical Steering Committee supports the Daedalus Wallet Maintenance and Improvements 2026–2027 governance action. Daedalus is Cardano’s only full-node desktop wallet, and keeping it secure, fast, and maintained is core infrastructure work.

Cardano DReps: an on-chain vote closes 23 July that underpins a lot of what you rely on to cast informed votes. Quick thread on why the Intersect TSC funding proposal deserves your Yes. :thread:

⏰ Under 2 hours left to vote on "Intersect Technical Steering Committee Support" on Intersect's Hydra Voting platform.
Dancing on the edge 😱: 68.7% vs the 67% needed. A handful of votes either way decides it.

I had a meeting with the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda. We discussed further cooperation — our defense, politics, and sanctions.
I thank Poland for its unwavering support for Ukraine’s NATO accession. @AndrzejDuda has always promoted this issue.
I am also grateful to Poland for already providing 45 support packages, with the 46th package on its way. We must maintain unity with our partners and do everything possible to achieve lasting peace.

Open Letter from the Polish 🇵🇱 Online Community to President @realDonaldTrump
Dear Mr. President,
We, the people of Poland’s online community, reach out to you with a heartfelt plea. For decades, we have admired the spirit of freedom, innovation, and opportunity that America represents. It is this very spirit that the Polish people share and hold dear, and that has inspired our developers, creators, and entrepreneurs to contribute to a brighter future for both our nations.
That is why the recent decision by the U.S. government to limit the export of advanced GPU technology to Poland feels like a betrayal — not just of our developmental ambitions, but of the deep and historic alliance between our countries.
Poland has always stood with America. Our soldiers fought side by side with yours in Iraq and Afghanistan. We host American military bases on our soil to ensure the safety of the free world. We have been unwavering in our commitment to NATO, leading the way in modernizing our military in close cooperation with U.S. partners, and standing firm against authoritarian regimes that threaten liberty and democratic values.
Why, then, are we now being punished with restrictions that threaten our future development?
Poland is not a threat to America — Poland is America’s strongest ally in Europe. In the face of growing threat from the East, we rely on technological cooperation with the US to strengthen both our economy and our security. Cutting us off from advanced technology risks weakening this critical partnership at a time when it should be stronger than ever.
Mr. President, we ask you to remember the bond that has always existed between our nations. We are not asking for charity — we are asking for trust. Trust in our shared values. Trust in the future we are building together.
It is in moments like this that great leaders show their true character. History will remember your choices. We urge you to take swift action to reverse this unfortunate decision the moment you assume office, and to strengthen the special bond between Poland and the United States, ensuring that we continue to stand united in the pursuit of freedom, innovation, and peace.
With respect and hope,
The Polish Online Community

Traktują nas z buta.
Jurasz w najnowszych #Didaskalia śmieje się, że do wydawania poleceń nawet nie trzeba urzędników z Waszyngtonu. Wystarczy ambasador z Warszawy.
Jednak ta mapka okazała się prawdą! A my w Polsce nie powinniśmy myśleć o jakiś globalnych zastosowaniach AI.
Na podstawie decyzji administracji prezydenta Bidena, Polska jest objęta restrykcjami w imporcie najnowszych chipów NVIDIA. Ostateczny dokument jest dostępny tutaj: public-inspection.federalreg…, choć pewnie lepiej spojrzeć na jego podsumowanie tutaj: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…. Reguły te na pierwszy rzut oka wyglądają może niezbyt strasznie, bo limit 50 tyś kart jaki dostała Polska może brzmi jak dużo dla nas, a i jeszcze może zostać podniesiony do 100 tyś.
Jednakże jak ktoś wie co się dzieje w rozwoju AI i, że teraz forpoczta walczy o stworzenie superinteligencji. To wydźwięk tego dokumentu jest jednoznaczny - żółte kraje powinny zapomnieć o rozwoju własnej superinteligencji. A limity mają im wystarczyć tylko do zwykłych zastosowań AI bo "ten limit zapewnia, że amerykańska technologia jest dostępna do obsługi zagranicznych rządów, dostawców usług medycznych i innych lokalnych przedsiębiorstw". Czyli broń boże nie powinniśmy myśleć o jakiś globalnych AI. Żałuje, że ten wpis jest tak negatywny, ale ja osobiście nie rozumiem jak w tej całej konfiguracji geopolitycznej znaleźliśmy się w drugiej kategorii państw.

Ukraine's President just went deep with Lex.
In a raw 2-hour conversation, he revealed:
• Why Trump is key to ending the war
• How 5 nations betrayed Ukraine's trust
• Russia's plans are bigger than anyone realizes
These are his 11 insights you shouldn't miss🧵
The question is asked at a wrong time, and the answer isn't right. In a time of aggression, one has the right and duty to defend its people from it. But there comes a time where asking for forgiveness and giving it back is being a hero:

This is right. Putinists argue that Russia’s invasion means Ukraine must concede its sovereignty – the ability to make its own defense and foreign and domestic policy.

When Lithuania was defending her independence from Moscow, we were asked by Western powers to "pause" our struggle, to protect russia from collapse. If we had listened, our country might not exist today. Sometimes fighting is the only way to win.

Poland is a role model for the rest of the EU. Few countries have suffered a bigger hit from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Poland's output gap now exceeds that after the 2008 crisis. But you don't hear Poles complaining about sanctions. Poles understand that "freedom isn't free."

Antoni Dudek na kanale Kultura Liberalna podzielił się opinią o Karolu Nawrockim:
"Ja mam większą wiedzę o nim, bo byłem związany z IPN. Nie chcę się z nim procesować, więc bez konkretów, ale to jest człowiek niezwykle niebezpieczny.
Jest to jeden z najbardziej niebezpiecznych ludzi, jacy się pojawili w polskiej przestrzeni publicznej. Jako prezydent będzie zdolny do działań, do których żaden z jego poprzedników, nawet Duda, nie był zdolny".
W rozmowie padają aluzje do ostatniego zamachu stanu w Korei Południowej. A także wspomnienie "obiadu drawskiego".
Dudek zdaje się sugerować, że Nawrocki ma ciągoty autorytarne.
Szkoda, że bez konkretów.

The Minsk Agreements forced Ukraine to abandon territory without any security guarantees in place. Putin violated these "agreements", continuing to shoot and kill Ukrainians nearly every day during this "peace". This is the reality we must avoid replaying.
