In case anyone missed this monumental announcement…the SEC has unofficially declared war on DeFi…
Today @Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC.
I’m not surprised. Just annoyed, disappointed, and ready to fight.
I am confident that the products we offer are legal and that our work is on the right side of history. But it’s been clear for a while that rather than… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

So what does this mean for the space in general?
As of now, it’s hard to say. What we know for sure is that Uniswap has a long, winding road ahead of them.
However, we can all find a bit of solace in knowing that the battle is now happening in the open (well, at least part of it is). Hopefully this case will eventually lead to more clarity overall for the DeFi regulation.
Either way, we salute Hayden and the folks at Uniswap, for standing their ground and fighting the good fight. 🫡

With the Chang Hard-fork, Plutus V3 brings the ability for Script Addresses like Multisigs or DAOs to serve as #Cardano DReps.
That's why @SummonPlatform has promoted the cause of Every #DAO a DRep since the first CIP-1694 Worksop in Longmont!
Will your community be ready?

The upcoming Chang hardfork for #Cardano is named after:
Phil Inje Chang - Visionary behind Voltaire at IOHK. He was born on Feb 25th 1964 in South Korea and later migrated to the US. Towards the end of his life, he lived in the UK. He was an inspiration to many.

It's important Cardano SPOs get 8.9.2 with full P2P, peer discovery & peer sharing fully battle tested on main net before the upgrade to 9.x Chang Hard Fork variant. Although 2 entirely different functions, best to knock it out early. Ouroboros Genesis is right around the corner
