It's easy to read this post and think it's about feedback loops and governance discussions.
I think that might be a part of it, but there's something else at the heart of the post and that is the absence of from the ground up voting and a complete lack of true representation, for everyone, as it is listed in the TENETS.
What if the issue isn't about feedback, platforms, or the when, where, and how discussions occur?
What if the issue is more specific to treasury management and governance? Is this hybrid dPoS ideal for treasury governance?
Is the absence of direct participation disenfranchising to the average stakeholder? Are their other ppl or groups that dont feel represented?
Should there be a discursive or dialectic democratic mandate? Does the current Constitution allow for this? How would we capture that onchain?
When do we stop to consider these questions? Or are we going to continue building products in silos that arent addressing the integrity of several fundamental principles?
There's no good feedback loop in Cardano governance.
Those who vote aren't necessarily those who build and use the chain. You can sit on a ton of $ADA for years, never use anything on-chain and still have more voting power than anyone who's used all of it.
This needs to change. We need voting to be bottom-up not top-down.
I have my own solutions and will be building them into StarchPay. I hope that can be an example we can use to make Cardano better.

For community awareness, new operator and a new ticker don't mean a new owner.
The existing pool IDs remain the same, the delegations don't have to move, and operational control can simply be transferred by providing Shunsuke with the existing cold private keys.
That's pretty much it.
Unless the ownership of the pools has actually changed, which nobody outside the parties involved could independently prove anyway, since there is no way to know whether copies of those keys are still retained, changing the operator or ticker doesn't change who owns the underlying pools.
And that's what makes the whole announcement a little confusing to me. Why make such a big statement about “transferring” the pools when, technically, what appears to have happened is that the existing cold keys were copied and provided to a new operator?
The delegations don't need to move precisely for that reason.
And of course, the decision to do this instead of having Shunsuke create his own stake pools and transferring the delegations EMURGO actually controls to those new pools tells us something too.🤨😮💨
Hopefully those keys, nor their encrypted versions, were ever exposed through an insecure or hot environment during the "transfer". 🤞
An update on the EMURGO and @YoroiWallet stake pools:
As referenced in our previous posts regarding EMURGO’s withdrawal from Cardano governance, including our decision to step back following the SecondFi security incident and our intention to de-register as a Cardano DRep, we are making a few operational updates.
Operational control of the EMURGO and Yoroi stake pools (EMURGO 1, EMURGO 2, EMURGO 3, EMURGO 4, EMURGO 5, EMURGO 6 and YOROI) has been transferred to Shunsuke Murasaki (@MurasakiCardano). Many in the community will know Murasaki as a long-time member of the Cardano community, with especially strong ties in Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore, as well as an early employee at EMURGO before leaving earlier this year to pursue new adventures. We have full faith in his integrity to Cardano over the long term.
These updates have been processed operationally and will be formally reflected onchain in coming days.
Key details for delegators:
- No action required: Delegations and staking rewards continue uninterrupted, and existing delegations carry over automatically.
- Unchanged pool IDs: Pool IDs remain identical. Murasaki will share a separate confirmation regarding any upcoming changes to the pool names and tickers.
- Non-custodial staking: As always, staking on Cardano remains entirely non-custodial, leaving delegators free to re-delegate to any pool whenever they choose.

Project Catalyst has never been "all bad". A lot of good development has come from it and it's served as a critical bridge to many teams throughout the years to stay in Cardano and keep developing.
However, it's 2026 and we need to stop treating Catalyst, the Treasury, or any other source of ecosystem funding as lottery winnings and instead place the full, soul crushing weight of the Cardano community's expectations for delivery upon recipients.
I think @dannyribar and team are making strides in that direction but there's always room for continuous, iterative improvement.
Note, this is one of the big ones I'm excited to see how it does over time. GG to all the teams and individuals involved.
Big day. ⚽️
Well done Barça Vision, @andamio_teams, and @utxos_dev!

Let's see if we can keep the momentum going.
For the next 48 hours anyone can use code MINT70 and you get 70% off.
Made it a bit longer for anyone who missed it or had issues minting yesterday.
Link below:
I worked for one hour. I finished most of my work for today.
Today is a good day. Just because! For the next 24 hours, anyone can use the code MINT75. You get 75% off any Starch Miner.
I don't know if I will ever do this again. Get it while you can. Have a great day! 🥔🔥

Hey @Cardano_CF @Catalyst_onX in case you are not aware ive lost what is currently over 300k $ADA on a bug from @DanoFinance to which they denied responsibility and refuse to compensate me.
Which representatives are you currently in contact with? ive asked Dano Finance to produce its company information so i can pursue legal action but they have only ignored me.
And here you are funding them to build more platforms that risk users funds.
nitter.net/bobcorn_ada/status/209…
The Catalyst Pilot 2026 cohort is here.
12 projects bringing stablecoins, oracles, programmable tokens, and verifiable identity into real-world sectors.
40% of funding is paid up front, the rest is tied to on-chain adoption on Cardano.
Meet the cohort: projectcatalyst.io/blog/meet…

I know only a little since my work was less towards the actual constitution side of it, but I know getting an MVG done was the most important consideration, while leaving the future to deal with finer details.
There were concerns of too much to soon, do gradual community ownership in a sense, hence a lot of the guardrails all in aims to prevent the Polkadot disaster.
And since there were already so many workshops, inputs etc, there was a drive to get the v1 out then drag on and delay the Voltaire Era delivery, let the community hash out a v2, especially since a legal expert team drafted out the original iteration to be in compliance with future US legal standings if Gary gensler was to be continued in the SEC
But as said before I don’t know everything there just passing comments or concerns raised
And to your other point only raw ambition and drive with conviction can turn a ship, you need someone who pass that conviction to others and not betray them in the process either.

Look, we made it, it's Friday. Let's celebrate it together, out in the fields, and take advantage of the extra light tomorrow's Harvest Moon will provide. And then the #Hauntology returns.

. @FCBarcelona deletes tweet 👀
.@FCBarcelona has just launched Barça Fan Lab, developed with @Andamio_teams using Cardano.
Fans will be able to learn about Barça’s history and values, take part in community activities, and gain verifiable digital credentials that will be stored in their own Cardano-based portfolio.
Supported through @Catalyst_OnX Fund 13, the initiative will also explore new approaches to digital communities, loyalty, collectibles and fan participation.

Oriental Insurance: one of India's largest state-owned insurers, launched a new climate parametric cover this September, adding to the rapidly expanding Indian parametric market. State-owned. India's largest markets. Parametric. This is India's insurance establishment, not just New India Assurance but Oriental Insurance as well, formally adopting parametric climate products as mainstream offerings.
India's two largest government insurers are now both offering parametric climate cover simultaneously. Etherisc's oracle infrastructure is compatible with India's IMD weather data, the same public data both insurers use as their trigger source.
