This isn't just a profile and networking app; it will also onboard people on-chain and verify their profiles via NFTs and wallet connect. A small feature that will bring more wallets and users to Cardano without anyone knowing.

Stablecoins might be one of the most important pieces of infrastructure Cardano needs to grow. And the recent @USDMOfficial minting activity is worth paying attention to. We've seen several large mints: 💵 2.0M USDM 💵 3.9M USDM 💵 2.82M USDM The latest shown pushes total supply to roughly 13.37M USDM. Why does this matter? Businesses don't want to receive $100,000 today and discover it's worth $92,000 tomorrow because the asset they were paid in dropped 8%. They need something predictable. That's where stablecoin rails become interesting. USD → USDM → Cardano → Smart Contract → Business/User Payments. Settlement. Escrow. DeFi. Treasury management. On/off-ramps. For me, this is particularly interesting because payment and escrow infrastructure is exactly the type of thing I'm building around. If we want real businesses using Cardano, we need more than tokens people trade. We need the boring financial infrastructure underneath everything. Large USDM mints don't automatically mean millions in institutional capital has entered Cardano. We can't tell from these transactions alone who is minting or where every USDM will ultimately be used. But more stablecoin liquidity gives builders more infrastructure to work with. The bigger question isn't how much @USDMOfficial gets minted. It's what gets built around that liquidity once it's on Cardano. What applications could actually bring meaningful stablecoin volume onto Cardano? THIS IS NOT A PAID PROMOTION

Let's go! The first product and iOS launch are coming soon. Help us test and get over the line before #Token2049

Nothing is worse than opening a business networking app in a crowded venue and having it take ages to load. You're mid-conversation, swapping details, and your app still won't load. @ChatSoonApp is super fast, and the native mobile apps work offline. Ready for #Token2049

Onboarding users to crypto has never been easier. We have a lot planned.

or Smart Compliance if you will...

I'm working on a networking app @ChatSoonApp that will help you capture your connections, provide context and remind you to follow up for @token2049. I'd love for people to test the iOS app in TestFlight. If you're interested, please leave a comment and I'll DM you an invite.

Cardano scaling is not one magic switch. Hydra, Leios and Peras are solving different problems: local throughput, input endorsement, and faster settlement. Next challenge is packaging that so normal users feel it. Which one shows up in UX first? I haven't seen much!

Nine years ago today, Cardano minted its first block. A global community has been building this blockchain ever since. Some are in this video, and many more are reading this. This celebration is yours. Happy 9th birthday, Cardano.

Cardano is 9 years old today 🎂🥳 I’ve been here 5. It took me from stake pool to YouTube, meetups, ambassador work & DraperU. Lots to look forward to: Peras, Leios, @Cardano_Prime @OrionFund, DeFi & DApps Happy birthday @Cardano What are you excited about?nitter.net/Cardano/status/2102759…

Happy 9th Birthday, Cardano. 🎂 From all of us at Moshi Concepts, thank you to the builders, researchers, SPOs and community who got us here. We’re proud to be building on Cardano and excited for what comes next. Here’s to the next chapter. 🖤💛

I went into @draper_u thinking I was refining a Cardano startup idea. I came out thinking very differently about how I build companies. For four weeks in Silicon Valley, the Genesis program forced me to question market size, customer validation, fundraising, go-to-market, trust, security, and whether what I was building was actually a business. The original idea was a Web3 bounty platform. That eventually led me somewhere much more interesting: programmable escrow and stablecoin payment infrastructure. In this video, I go through the full experience, including pitching @TimDraper, getting the pitch wrong before getting it right, learning to validate before building, and how those lessons are now shaping @MoshiConcepts and Hokan. A huge thank you to everyone who shared their time and experience throughout the program: @draper_u @TimDraper @aalicbarker @AsraNadeem @TechRebelWorld @sfjmorris @Andytang @joevezz @lorenzoxbt @rodventures @1stNoL @c00v @LuchangArcanum And also David Bland, George Northup, Azan Haider, Tessalou Velera @OrionFund @Cometa_Labs and @samizb This one packs a lot of lessons. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:23 The Genesis programme 2:16 Building something isn't enough 4:22 The first pitches 5:54 Talking to real customers 7:25 The idea starts changing 8:40 Pitch practice and getting it wrong 10:53 Pitching in front of Tim Draper 12:32 The question from Tim Draper 14:10 Catalyst, grants and automation 15:37 Trust is the real product 17:01 After the pitch, the programme changed 18:27 Go to market 19:32 Blockchain should become boring 21:10 Not everything needs a token 22:09 Networking was probably my weakest area 23:36 The people were a massive part of it 24:40 The Cardano community came to Draper 25:35 The final week 27:14 Resilience 28:19 Stablecoins and payments kept coming back 29:11 The final days 29:57 What actually changed for me 31:07 What I'm building now 32:15 Conclusion The biggest lesson? Being able to build something doesn't mean it's the right thing to build. Validate. Listen. Adjust. Then keep building. 👊
