At our first in-person Roundtable Talk at w3.hub in Berlin, we explored what it really means to engage and build as a developer on Cardano. One key insight from Dr. Navjit Dhaliwal was how networking and value creation naturally happen when people connect around the ecosystem. As Dr. Navjit Dhaliwal explained: “Even if you don’t network, you are networking in a sense because you’re talking, you’re communicating, and the backdrop is about building on Cardano. The value proposition speaks for itself when you present use cases, adoption, and what’s actually realized on Cardano.” It was a great reminder that whether through focused tooling sessions or broader community events, facilitating meaningful conversations helps developers experience the real value of building on Cardano. #CardanoShorts 🧵

The votes are in, and delegates have voted ‘Yes’ ✅ With this approval - with voting facilitated by Clarity Protocol d/acc - the Cardano Constitution will now move forward towards community ratification! After months of collaboration, workshops, and community input from around the world, Cardano has solidified its governance framework and principles within the constitution. Today marks a historic milestone in our shared history, as Cardano moves to ratify and adopt a fully on-chain, community-driven governance model. A huge thank you to all the civics committee members, delegates, alternates, contributors, and convention participants who made this possible. And to all of you helping shape the future of Cardano.

🌍 The Hedera Africa Hackathon was MASSIVE. More than 13,000 builders showed up. 1,395 projects submitted. Thousands earned their Hedera developer certifications. Innovation across AI, RWA, sustainability, identity, gaming, DePIN and more. This was one of the largest hackathons in the world, but the size is not the real story. The real story is the impact. Developers across Africa building usable products. Teams forming in real time. Students, founders, and builders creating solutions that solve real problems. Entire communities leveling up together! This is what the future looks like. Proud to help spotlight the talent building the trust layer of Africa's digital economy.

Cardano Tech Summit Buenos Aires 2025 and the regional LATAM Hackathon were much more than an event , they were a celebration of the samurai spirit of the Cardano community in LATAM 🥷⚔️ We want to express our deep gratitude to Cardano Foundation ,the web3innovationnerds , and Intersect for making this LATAM regional event possible and for supporting education and ecosystem growth in our region. We were honored to host key leaders, institutions, and projects from across the region and the global ecosystem, including representatives from UN Development, UBA (CUENTA OFICIAL) (Dean Guillermo (Willy) Durán), UTN Buenos Aires (Dean Guillermo J. Oliveto), the CEO of Blockchain.RIO, LABITCONF, Rafael Fraga, Jack B, Easton Evans, David Casey, Cardano Feed ($ADA), Funintec Venezuela, GovChainLab, @DanielaHubBr, Mauricio Navarrete R, Juan TheOne, Carlos Lopez de Lara, Santiago Carmuega, Fede | TxPipe.io | 🧉, Martin Rivero, Modulo-p, Cointelegraph en Español, as well as projects and organizations such as lace.io, Midnight Foundation, TxPipe, Fairgate, @Tokenmithr, Sead,GameChanger Wallet, ExuraLabs, Edda Labs, KW₳RXS, Jotape | CTimelines.io, De Desciquark a Synthum, Potion Tools Collective, SenseiNode, Funding the Commons, among many others who contributed with content, workshops, presentations and community energy. Highlights included a simultaneous chess exhibition led by a female Olympic player, 3 HYDRA machines running live, MANDALORIAN for midnight privacy, workshops about MIDNIGHT, Intersect VISION 2030, Txpipe , and 7 technical talks, and the inauguration of the Laboratory of Decentralized Computing and Digital Trust by IO Research , with an academic track on verifiable computation, zkVMs, private verifiable computation and MPC mythbusting. The entire event was designed around a Japanese theme, honoring Cardano’s origins in Japan and the warrior spirit of the builders who completed the IOG-led course and hackathon :Hackathon prizes of 10,000 USD, awarded together with katanas in three categories: black, red, and white 🥷 • Taiko performances, Kendo demonstrations, and a Japanese food experience with Dorayaki (traditional Japanese sweet) and sushi for attendees • Special merch: a Japanese-style mate, symbolizing the cultural bridge between Japan, Argentina, and LATAM We want to thank Charles Hoskinson and J.J. Siler for making the inauguration of the Laboratory of Decentralized Computing and Digital Trust at the Summit possible. Huge thanks as well to the four instructors of the Hackathon and Developers course – Roberto, kada Chaires, J₳MS and Antonio Ibarra – and to ADA DOG POOL (ticker: DOG) and CHIL Stake Pool - Rodrigo, who did an amazing job as Masters of Ceremony for the Summit. Finally, a very special thank you to Cardano Foundation’s Marketing Director Laura M. and Elis Moormaa for their constant support and attention to every detail of the event. 🙌 To every participant, speaker, volunteer, sponsor, and project: thank you for making this possible – this video is just a glimpse of what Cardano in LATAM is becoming. 🚀 #CardanoCommunity #CardanoSummit2025 Cardano Community Cardano CommunitySummit

Wishing our partners in the US a Happy Thanksgiving. 🤗Today we are sharing the interview we filmed with 🪏Blockjock-James Dont Hate Just Create from USDM and our CEO and Stig Stig A Kjos-Mathisen at Cardano Summit Berlin. Since recording, USDM won the Stablecoin Award for best stablecoin at the Summit, adding even more weight to the partnership. What began as a small pilot in early 2024 has now become a multi million dollar stablecoin with real traction on Cardano. We talk transparency, the Oracle that publishes reserves twice a day, the Marketing Investment Program with DeFi protocols, and the work on global fiat rails and large scale cash off ramps. Strong collaboration on both sides of the Atlantic. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating. 🎉 USDM on Cardano

"The best builders build for the betterment of humanity." Meet Brayden. Winner of the AI Developer hackathon. Now a 1% holder of $DEVELOPER via Help.Fun. Credit to Dom Sagolla for gifting tokens to winners. A simple and elegant way to onboard great developers. We need more Braydens discovering the power of tokenization. More builders who see tokens as tools for impact. Help.Fun has a real shot at normalizing tokenization and unlocking its benefits for high-impact teams. Here’s to Solana attracting more regenerative builders, more meaningful products, more mission-driven orgs. Meteora.
