📢 Cardano Community Corner
From FUD-fighting to figuring out the new #1 ape NFT on our chain, the Cardano Community never sleeps! Let’s check in on what the talk of the town has been this week.
The end goal for Cardano is something that replaces your bank, national currency and every centralised digital service ever, all the while being fully transparent, upgradable, self-verifiable, permissionless and having economic agency. You can be client, server or both

Here's the basic visualization of the Cardano mempool (using Blockfrost mempool). I'll work on improving it over time. ENJOY, (hope it works) :-)— Peter Oravec - $eutxo.org (@oravecpeter)

Blockchain voting is needed now more than ever! Which blockchain will be chosen? 👀

Cardano continues where Satoshi stopped.
UTxO smart contracts, multi-party state channels, native assets, ZK privacy, parallelism, decentralization, the list goes on.
UTxO is hard so many chose the accounts model.
Hyper scalability and on-chain governance are next. #Cardano

We had a great call with @lennaverse about @pledgio_xyz yesterday.
They're working on a fantastic alternative Funding Model for Startups on Cardano.
Highly recommend checking it out and participating in the first Pledge to help the project take off: pledgio.xyz/pledgio

🖌 NFT of the Week with Noodz 🍜
Each week, we check in with our resident NFT connoisseur, Noodz. Let’s see what he’s got cookin’ for us…
Last week, we said a tearful-but-thankful farewell to INFI Pool.
INFI was faithful to the protocol ‘til the very end. While it’s never fun to see stake pools close down, sometimes it’s just what must be done. 😢
Regardless, we salute you, INFI! Thank you for your service, and may it be remembered for the decades to come on our wonderful and everlasting blockchain through these awesome NFTs. 🫡
💬 Get in Touch
That's all for now!
Feels a bit brief? Don’t worry, we’re right there with ya!
We’re starting off slow, as our first priority is longevity. We’ll be building out our platform over time.
As they say, slow and steady wins the race!
If you have any feedback or questions, please reach out to us by email or by sending us a DM on Twitter.
