Cardano is a decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project that is fully open-source. Cardano is developing a smart contract platform which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. It is the first blockchain platform to evolve out of a scientific philosophy and a research-first driven approach. The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers.

Welcome to Cardano!

Cardano is a highly secure blockchain written in Haskell. It allows formal verification of code, and easy extensibility through a layered architecture. Cardano's technology is built from peer-reviewed research at some of the world's foremost universities.

After more than two years of planning and development, we're delighted to announce that the Cardano blockchain was publicly launched on the 29th September 2017. Cardano's Ada token was then made available for trading on the 1st October at Bittrex exchange.

On this subreddit you can learn more about the project, understand its great potential and engage in the worldwide Cardano community!

Impressions of UEX.Finance Cardano Bridge

I've been looking for bridges that will let me move capital from ETH network to the ADA network and back. I came across UEX.Finance and a few posts on this subreddit saying it was usable and safe from 10+ months ago. Wondering if there are any fresh impressions.

Thanks in advance :)

What’s the easiest idiot proof way to get some Hosky? And what wallet do u guys use?

Should I buy fr an exchange like MEXC or a dex like Minswap. I never used a Dex before tbh.

I read Yoroi is the best wallet to use.

Thanks guys

Question for some Cardano devs! (xpost)

Hey all,

I’m looking to play around with creating a native token.

When building out the token policy script, I’m looking to add a time-lock with the invalidAfter function but I’m unable to find a source in the official Cardano documentation with the invalidAfter keyword. I do see the “after” and “before” keywords however..

Would anyone be able to shed some light on this for me, or point me to the right direction? :)

Thanks all!

Heads up about Tangem in regards to Cardano DeFi

I recently bought a Tangem wallet. I tried connecting to Minswap but I kept getting an error message about incompatibility with the blockchain.

I emailed customer support ( the ONLY way Tangem handles customer support) and they finally replied. Here was the answer:

Hello there, Thank you for reaching out.

WalletConnect feature in Tangem Wallet is currently available for Solana and EVM networks, in particular for Arbitrum, Areon, Aurora, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Blast, Canxium, Cronos, Cyber, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum PoW, Fantom Opera, Flare, Kava EVM, Gnosis, Manta Pacific, Mantle, Moonbeam, Moonriver, Optimistic Ethereum, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, PulseChain, RSK, Shibarium, Telos, and zkSync Era.

Unfortunately, it's not available for the Cardano chain yet. I've added your suggestion to our users' wishlist, we'll keep our community informed and share any updates regarding the feature on our socials.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let us know, and we'll do our best to assist you further.

-- Kind regards, The Tangem Team

————————————————————

Side note to the inexperienced…. I went into the Tangem discord channel to try to get some answers and was dm’d by 3 different scammers offering to “help” walk me through the process of getting the wallet to connect. They just needed my seed phrase. Very professional including fake Tangem pop ups and links to the special site to fix my unfixable problem.

Which wallet for a casual non tech/crypto literate person?

My dad bought some Cardano a few years ago and totally forgot about it, he purchased it through Binance.us. The site just seems off for whatever reason, so what is a good place to move it? I know he has a coinbase account and I think it said it would charge him about $30 to transfer it there. Any other user friendly wallets for someone who is not really going to get too deep into this at the moment?

Cardano-C Library

Hello Cardano community, I just wanted to share with you all our recently completed C library for Cardano off-chain code, you can take a look at the project at:

https://github.com/Biglup/cardano-c

This was funded by project Catalyst. It is a pure C99 C library with:

  • Address Parsing & Generation.
  • Ed25519 Cryptography.
  • Transaction Serialization & Deserialization.
  • Powerful Transaction Builder

Similar to the CSL and CML, but in C. Our overarching mission is to bring first class support for Cardano to other (less supported) languages in the Cardano via bindings. You can find some examples here:

https://github.com/Biglup/cardano-c/blob/main/examples/src/propose_treasury_withdrawal_example.c

and the documentation for the library here:

https://cardano-c.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Additionally, if you like this idea, please consider voting for the following Catalyst proposal, to bring support to the Ledger Hardware wallet Cardano app to the C library to make it available in the bindings as well:

https://www.lidonation.com/en/proposals/bind-friendly-c-library-for-ledger-hardware-wallet-cardano-app-f13/

ELI 5. What does it mean reaching 1M TpS?

I was very pleased to look at the 1m TpS post here on Reddit reached by the Cardano BC.

So I wondered if there was any official/credible ranking by TpS and searched for it on Google:

https://chainspect.app/dashboard Best is approx 1500txs (is txs the same unit of measurement? Don't know)

https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/8223220991898 Or https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/understanding-tps-which-blockchains-fastest-hashlock-xnojc Best is approx 1000TpS

I don't mind about who is the best, I was puzzled about the difference in order of magnitude of the rankings.

What does it mean 1m TpS versus 1k TpS?

Please, if possible, no fanboy/hater reply.

David Sacks Appointment

As the appointed AI and Crypto Czar, it’s no bueno for Cardano, IMO. I know Charles has congratulated him, but I believe it’s only to keep in good graces with Sacks. Sacks is a Solona maxi / shill, proven many times over on The All In.

I'm Building a Decentralized 3D AI Agent on Cardano, advice please!

Hello Cardano Community,

We are AIWave, a decentralized platform for AI agents designed to prioritize user control, privacy, and personalization. Our aim is to integrate blockchain and AI technologies to enable secure, user-first interactions.

What Are We Building?

3D AI Agent with Emotional Connection: AI agents interact through customizable 3D avatars, combining practical assistance with emotional engagement.

Privacy-Preserving Data Management: We leverage Cardano's blockchain and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK proofs) to ensure user data remains private and accessible only by the user.

Long-Term Personalization: Our agents utilize long-term memory to provide consistent and adaptive support tailored to user needs over time.

Task and Account Management: AI agents assist with everyday tasks and social media account management, streamlining workflows while maintaining data sovereignty.

Why Cardano?

Cardano's infrastructure aligns with our focus on decentralization, security, and scalability:

Sustainability: Cardano's eco-friendly design complements our vision of a sustainable AI ecosystem.

Security and Reliability: Peer-reviewed protocols ensure a secure foundation for managing sensitive user data.

Community and Governance: Cardano’s inclusive and decentralized governance aligns with our values and empowers us to involve our community in shaping AIWave’s future.

How Can You Get Involved?

We are still in the development phase and would greatly appreciate feedback from the Cardano community. Your insights can help refine our approach and ensure we’re building something valuable and aligned with community needs.

👉 Whitepaper: https://aiwave.gitbook.io/aiwave

👉 Telegram Community: https://t.me/AI_Wave

👉 X/Twitter: https://x.com/AIWave_AI

We look forward to your thoughts and suggestions. Let’s explore how decentralized AI agents can enhance the Cardano ecosystem together!

Cardano staking

I have some ADA and would like to stake it. How long is the on-ramp and off-ramp time? Meaning how long it takes once you UNSTAKE it to be able to move the ADA back to the hardware wallet.

Thanks in advance.
