As a DRep myself, I appreciate this move by Emurgo to retire their DReps on Cardano.
This is a good chance to decentralize the vote stake distribution further.
EMURGO & Yoroi DRep Update: De-registration on 30 November 2026
Further to our announcement on 3 August regarding our intention to de-register our DRep role in Cardano governance, the EMURGO and @YoroiWallet DReps will be formally de-registered on 30 November 2026.
If your wallet is currently delegated to either the EMURGO or Yoroi DRep, please delegate to another active DRep of your choice before 30 November 2026 to ensure you can continue to withdraw your staking rewards and keep your voice represented in Cardano governance. De-registration date may be extended further based on extenuating circumstances.
When choosing a new DRep, we encourage delegators to look for:
- A consistent voting record, clear public rationale, and accountability to delegators
- Long-term commitment to the Cardano ecosystem
- Broad commercial and technical expertise
- A balanced, pragmatic approach that weighs commercial, technical, and governance priorities equally
We would like to highlight DReps such as the @Cardano_CF, @nagamaru_panda , @phil_uplc , @SIPO_Tokyo and @SociousDAO , who have consistently demonstrated these characteristics.
How to re-delegate:
- Open your Cardano wallet and go to the Governance (or Delegation) section.
- Browse the list of active DReps or paste the DRep ID of your chosen representative .
- Confirm and sign the delegation transaction in your wallet.
- As always, governance delegation on Cardano is entirely non-custodial, and your ADA never leaves your wallet.

Police in India’s most populous state now track criminal evidence on Cardano.
Every scan and lab result is hashed on-chain, live on active cases in Uttar Pradesh.
Our new case study breaks down how @TrivolveTech built it. Check it out: cardanofoundation.org/case-s…

CARDANO its TIME TO GET TO WORK!
Nine teams. One mission. The nucleus of what could be Cardano’s most profitable chapter yet.
Building the DeFi ecosystem we need to drive liquidity, adoption, and real economic activity.
🔥 The first cohort:
@SundaeSwap
@liqwidfinance
@Indigo_protocol
@steerprotocol
@VIA_Labs
@ReBondFi
@wtfdial
@MidgardLabsHQ
@txpipe_tools
Led by @Cardano_Prime and @alphagrowth1.

🎙️ PRIME Builder Livestream
We’ve spent years building the foundation. Now it’s time to put it to work and deliver measurable economic value.
Less talk. More execution. Let’s build!
@USDMOfficial deficoalition.com
The first Cardano PRIME cohort is here.
Nine teams, funded to close the biggest gaps in @Cardano DeFi: DEXs, lending, bridges, vaults, real-world assets, and the audits that keep all of it safe.
Here’s who’s building what ↓

Cardano came in force to @TOKEN2049 Singapore.
Two days, 30+ ecosystem projects, one packed booth from open to close.
See it for yourself:
I wish Midnight fixed this. After Ledger and Trezor now Keystone.... 🙄
No hardware wallet manufacturer seems to understand to protect and minimize customer data.
We owe you an apology.
On October 20, we detected unauthorized access to our official website. After verifying API activity with Shopify, we confirmed on October 23 that a third party obtained customer shipping information. You trusted us with those details, and we're sorry we didn't keep them safe.
Exposed: names, contact details, shipping addresses, and order details (items and prices).
Not exposed: payment card or bank details, recovery phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords.
We've blocked access, fixed the vulnerability, opened an investigation, and are emailing affected customers.
Scammers may pose as Keystone by phone, text, email, or mail, offering refunds, replacement devices, or "fixes" for your order or address. None of it is from us.
NEVER share your recovery phrase or private keys, and NEVER enter your recovery phrase into a device you didn't order. We will never ask for them. Don't click links in unexpected messages. Type keyst.one yourself.
A detailed report is coming soon.
Until then, trust only our official channels. If anything feels off, email [email protected]. We'd rather hear from you than have you take a chance.
Again, we're truly sorry to everyone affected.
The Cardano k=1000 governance Info Action has concluded, and the outcome could hardly be clearer.
An overwhelming NO, regardless of which voting metric you look at.
What particularly impresses me: 1.91 billion ADA in stake explicitly voted NO by SPOs, even though they didn't need to vote for the proposal to fail.
SPOs aren't too lazy to participate in governance. They vote when it matters to them!
A big thank you to all SPOs and DReps who participated, regardless of how you voted. This is governance in action! 💪

Midnight is fighting for individual freedom. 💪
The Freedom Fighters series is a powerful reminder of what is at stake. All four episodes can be watched in less than 30 minutes. Well worth watching! 👀
Freedom is the sum of many things. Freedom of association, commerce and expression are values I strongly believe in and want to help protect.
Among many other things, Midnight has the potential to become the VPN for DeFi, enabling users across major blockchain ecosystems to break the publicly traceable link between their wallets and personal identities, while preserving the ability to demonstrate compliance through selective disclosure.
Self-custody, open-source, decentralized and permissionless blockchains infused with programmable privacy can have a real, positive impact on protecting and strengthening individual freedom. 💎
That is why I am proud to be a Nightforce Leader and can't wait to help decentralize Midnight Mainnet early next year as an independent validator, just as I have been helping decentralize Cardano for years. 🫡
What happens when a government turns money, communication, and technology into tools of control? 👀
@leopoldolopez has lived through it and fought to defend democracy.
Today, at 2PM GMT, hear his story in Freedom Fighters, a four-part series on the fight for freedom and the decentralized technology that could help protect it.

🇪🇺 JUST IN: Cardano Foundation urges the EU against expanding MiCA to DeFi and staking, calling for rules based on financial risks rather than technology.
If you have assets on the Genius Yield platform, check out this guide on how to withdraw those assets

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.
