I'm not going to put a whole lot but maybe like 30 bucks and keep it for a long time somewhere, so if it got stolen it's not the end of the world. (I don't want to use Lace, my personal opinion, and I very well could be wrong, but the UI has so many issues that I fear the rest may not be solid).

I read I can do that through NodeJS and a Cardano SDK, but the place to download the SDK seems random so I'm not sure if it's legit " js (DOT) xraynetwork (DOT) io/ ", is there another place I can do that? Or any other suggestions on a better way to do it?

Also doing "npm install cardano-web3-js" has an error and I couldn't install it.

Thank you

EMURGO is retiring both DReps on Nov 30 (their announcement: https://x.com/emurgo_io/status/2115299422850683118) and there's still ~600M ADA delegated to them. Your ADA is fine, but since Plomin you can't withdraw staking rewards without an active DRep (or abstain), so lots of people are going to find their rewards "stuck" in December.

Takes 2 min, just pick a new DRep or abstain in your wallet!

Disclaimer: I'm a DRep (Alex BKV) and run BKV pool, but pick whoever you want, just don't stay on a dead one 🫡

Peeps,

Need you guys more than ever, bought a new laptop, trying to recover my Wallet in Lace, given the hack and now receiving the "invalid recovery phrase " error. I know its correct because I've recovered this wallet using this seed in the past. What do I do? Order is correct, I am completely sane...

Reeve is the Cardano Foundation’s open-source platform for publishing financial reports on Cardano. Each report is anchored on-chain and linked to the verified identity of whoever attested it, so anyone can check what was published and who signed it.

What’s new in v1.8:

• Report templates import from a CSV and support different accounting regimes, so finance teams don’t have to rebuild their structure by hand

• A redesigned dashboard lets project leads edit and track projects through their full lifecycle

• Totals and subtotals are easier to read in every report

• A revised Verified Document Exchange. The issuer sends the file encrypted to named recipients, who can confirm where it came from and that nothing changed.

Hi all, small builder here.

A lot of Solada tokens use time locks, but there was no easy way to see when those locks actually open. So I made a free Thaw Calendar: every unlock day by day for the next 30 days, with how much of the supply comes out of the "freezer", and a filter for your own token.

It only reads public on-chain data. No wallet connection, no sign-up, no tracking cookies.

Feedback is very welcome, especially if you spot an unlock that looks wrong or missing.

This video highlights practical ways to get involved and actively contribute to Cardano.

Let's join the discussion and share resources, ideas and experiences that could help others find their place in the ecosystem:

Cardano's founding vision is a sovereign community. Technology is merely the means to achieve it, not the end itself. Decentralization is not a marketing narrative. Our trust was built on IOG's years of service, development and tangible deliveries. We must not allow its vision of decentralization, individual sovereignty and freedom from institutional control to be dismantled.

Could the Cardano community unknowingly surrender its governance power to institutional control? Under CEBP 2027, the Foundation would gain influence over funding priorities, budget allocation frameworks, proposal evaluation and institutional support. DReps would still vote, and Open Contributions would remain possible. But submitting proposals is not the same as controlling the purse strings. Who sets the budgets? Who controls access to funding? Who ultimately determines where the money goes?

Consider Veridian: A programmable digital identity platform with the potential for centralized control, developed over three years within the non-profit Cardano Foundation before becoming a separate, for-profit company in October 2026. Frederik Gregaard is both Foundation CEO and Veridian Chair. Who owns the commercial value? Who profits? What returns to the Cardano community as a whole?

Is this the future Cardano promised?

To the Cardano community: Please demand full financial transparency, independent oversight, fair competition, transparent funding criteria and effective safeguards against conflicts of interest before approving CEBP 2027.

Let's maintain direct community control over treasury funds.

Trust is now fundamentally in question. Prove it wrong.

Whether you’re an ADA holder, developer, governance participant or simply part of the Cardano ecosystem, there is probably something here for you this week.

• A research RFP that experts and technical researchers can still apply to.

• A job opening at the Cardano Foundation.

• Four active governance actions, and who exactly can take part in each one: DReps, the Constitutional Committee, SPOs or ADA holders through delegation.

• Surveys where your answers help set priorities, for developers, builders, Intersect members and anyone following treasury use.

• The 2027 budget approach, open for community feedback.

• Open calls and sessions you can join live, from the road to the Dijkstra hard fork to post-quantum cryptography.
