AI agents need payment rails before they need anything else. Without a way to pay for compute, data or API access mid-task, the agentic layer stalls at the demo stage. This is why x402 matters so much. @Cardano just joined @Solana, @XRPLF and a handful of other chains already running on it, letting an agent pay in ADA for a dataset or API call mid-request. No account, no subscription. The official implementation works and has been proven on testnets, with mainnet next. Agents transacting on-chain looks increasingly likely. The real question is which rails developers reach for when they build the next layer. I think the plumbing decisions being made now are the ones that stick, and it's part of why the @OrionFund, our fund with @Cardano_CF , backs this ecosystem.

Proud to be part of the Cardano family ☺️ Happy birthday CARDANO!
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.

Holy moly Grateful is an understatement Time to get to work!!
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…

Congrats to approved proposers, now the rubber meets the road very quickly hope everyone has their track shoes on:-) @USDMOfficial $3B TVL — attract meaningful capital and deepen on-chain liquidity. 27M+ monthly transactions — drive sustained, real economic activity on Cardano. 1M monthly active users — turn funded innovation into measurable adoption. Economic sustainability — grow protocol revenue and utility so Cardano can support itself long term. Catalyst funding should move the needle. Fund innovation. Measure outcomes. Build toward 2030. Liqwid Labs — @liqwidfinance⁠ Nucast — @NucastIO⁠ Cexplorer — @cexplorer_io⁠ PagFinance — @PagFinance⁠ VIA Labs — @VIA_Labs⁠ House of Titans / ATLAS — @Titans_Depin⁠ Anvil / Wayup — @wayupio⁠ and @AnvilDevAgency⁠ Please tag the others if you have their social links
Replying to @Catalyst_onX
Very strong list of funded teams! Especially excited about funding for @AnvilDevAgency 👏

Momentum is everything, institutional use=confidence, new liquidity=increased ux, there isnt a better stable for use in either. One rewards you while dormant and one rewards you while putting it to work in defi. Did someone say reward;-) inquire within Ive got you

This is how you stay ahead of the game, when your a payment stable and you knew the pivot was necessary 12 mths ago. @usdmofficial
Institutional liquidity doesn’t arrive on Cardano by accident. It needs stable, transparent infrastructure and economics that make deployment attractive. Recent USDM mint activity shows larger capital moving on-chain through a native Cardano stablecoin rail. USDM brings: * Transparent mint and burn visibility * Reliable dollar-denominated settlement * Deeper liquidity for DeFi and treasury activity * Infrastructure designed to support larger institutional participation 🖖 A rewards structure that can improve the economics of holding and deploying USDM no matter who you are. @USDMOfficial @everstake_pool @BlockdaemonHQ @IOHK_Charles @angrycryptoshow @astroboysoup @IntersectMBO @Cardano_CF

Now that so many are talking about x402 here's a quick primer why x402 on Cardano is especially powerful: Cardanos x402 standard supports 3 different types of transactions: 1. Regular transactions 2. Any sort of smart contract transactions 3. Masumi transactions By deliberately building the standard like this, Cardanos x402 immediately supports - Refunds - Decision Logging - Discovery - Identity out of the box.

Now 6 consecutive days with over $10M in daily volume. Now with $192M in monthly volume, very likely tomorrow we officially surpass our first $200M volume month.

Strike-to-Strike copy trading is live on @strikeperps. You can now copy any Strike trader, and leads earn 10% of their copiers' profits. I pulled every fill from the top-scored accounts and removed copied trades. 6 traders worth watching, each for a different reason, and each with a catch 🧵

Chers membres francophones de la communauté Cardano, Je m'appelle Adam Rusch et je sollicite votre soutien pour ma réélection au Conseil d'administration d’ @IntersectMBO. Je me représente parce que je crois en ce qu'Intersect est en train de bâtir et que je peux continuer à contribuer à sa croissance et à sa stabilité. J'espère que les membres d'Intersect prendront connaissance de ma candidature au Conseil et envisageront de voter pour moi sur le portail des membres : members.intersectmbo.org/das… Beaucoup de choses se sont passées au cours des deux dernières années, si bien que ma première élection au Conseil me semble à la fois très proche et très lointaine. L’industrie de la blockchain est entrée dans un marché baissier, contraignant de nombreuses entreprises qui ne disposaient pas des ressources nécessaires à réduire leurs activités ou à se retirer. Cardano (comme beaucoup d'autres réseaux) a été mis à l'épreuve par des événements tels que l'incident de partition de la chaîne de 2025 et le piratage de plusieurs ponts et portefeuilles. Intersect a dû rapidement renforcer ses structures et ses capacités pour faire face à ces défis. Grâce au personnel d'Intersect, sous la direction de notre directeur exécutif, Jack Briggs, ainsi qu'au travail des membres d'Intersect, Cardano s'en est mieux sorti que de nombreuses autres blockchains dans cette période difficile. Nos comités et groupes de travail fournissent une orientation essentielle pour la gestion technique et la coordination de la gouvernance, tandis que le Conseil de sécurité de Cardano s'est révélé indispensable dans la réponse aux crises. En tant que membre du Conseil, je considère que mon rôle est de veiller à ce que les fondations de cette organisation soient solides. Je me suis attaché à faire tout mon possible pour faire d'Intersect une institution forte, capable de servir Cardano efficacement. Il est essentiel qu'Intersect soit en phase avec les parties prenantes de la communauté Cardano et les DReps qui les représentent, tout en offrant un espace où les bâtisseurs peuvent faire avancer leurs idées et contribuer à la prospérité de l'écosystème. C'est pourquoi je consacre autant de temps à échanger avec d'autres contributeurs de Cardano et à les écouter, afin de bien comprendre les enjeux qui touchent l'écosystème. C'est pourquoi je rencontre régulièrement le Comité de pilotage d'Intersect, pour entendre les comptes rendus des activités des membres et savoir comment les soutenir. C'est aussi pourquoi j'ai défendu l'élargissement du Conseil, en passant de deux administrateurs élus par les membres à quatre, afin de garantir que la majorité des sièges du Conseil soit contrôlée par la communauté. Nous avons beaucoup accompli au cours des deux dernières années. Intersect est devenu un lieu de rencontre essentiel pour les membres de la communauté et pour les personnes qui travaillent au sein des entités fondatrices. Il remplit le rôle de terrain d'entente qui lui était destiné. Mais il reste beaucoup à construire à mesure que la blockchain s'intègre dans les infrastructures et les normes de l'industrie technologique. En tant qu'organisation fondée sur ses membres, Intersect est particulièrement bien placé pour rassembler les connaissances et les compétences variées de ses membres afin d'y parvenir. Si je suis réélu, je continuerai à œuvrer pour que nos comités et groupes de travail disposent de mandats clairs et des moyens de produire des résultats. J'imagine Intersect se développer de la même manière que la Linux Foundation : comme une rampe de lancement qui soutient les initiatives communautaires et se coordonne avec les autres organisations du secteur. Je veux qu'Intersect démontre qu'une institution solide, composée de membres engagés, peut offrir les meilleures conditions à une collaboration décentralisée. Merci de votre attention. Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. J'espère obtenir votre vote. Cordialement, Adam Rusch
Dear Cardano Community, My name is Adam Rusch and I am seeking your support for re-election to the @IntersectMBO Board of Directors. I am running again because I believe in what Intersect is building and that I can continue to contribute to its growth and stability. I hope that Intersect members will review my Board Candidate Application and consider voting for me in the membership portal: members.intersectmbo.org/das… A lot has happened over the past two years, which makes it seem like both a very short and a very long time ago that I was first elected to the Board. The Blockchain industry has entered a bear market that has shaken out many businesses unable to find the resources to continue. Cardano (like many other networks) has been tested with events like the 2025 Chain Partition Incident and the hack of several bridges and wallets. Intersect has been forced to grow up quickly to face these challenges. Thanks to the Intersect Staff under the leadership of our Executive Director, Jack Briggs, as well as the work of Intersect Members, Cardano has fared better than many other blockchains in difficult times. Our Committees and Working Groups provide essential direction for technical stewardship and governance coordination, while the Cardano Security Council has been indispensable for crisis response. As a Board Member, I see my role as ensuring that the foundations of this organization are secure. I have been focused on doing everything I can to make Intersect a strong institution that can serve Cardano effectively. It is essential for Intersect to be aligned with the stakeholders of the Cardano Community and the DReps who represent them, while also providing a space where the builders of Cardano can advance their ideas and contribute to making the ecosystem prosper. This is why I spend so much time speaking with and listening to other Cardano contributors, to make sure I understand the issues that affect the ecosystem. It's why I regularly meet with the Intersect Steering Committee, so I can hear the reports of membership activities and learn how to support them. It's also why I championed the expansion of the board from having two Directors elected from the membership to four elected members, to ensure a majority of the board seats would be community-controlled. We have accomplished a lot over the past two years. Intersect has become an essential meeting ground for community members and for the people who work at the founding entities. It serves its intended role as the middle ground. But there is much left to build as Blockchain works its way into the infrastructure and standards of the tech industry. As a member-based organization, Intersect is uniquely positioned to bring together the diverse knowledge and skills of its members to help make that happen. If re-elected, I will continue to work to ensure that our Committees and Working Groups have clear charges and the ability to produce results. I envision Intersect growing in the same way the Linux Foundation grew, as a launchpad that supports community initiatives and coordinates with other industry organizations. I want Intersect to demonstrate that a strong institution of dedicated members can provide the best conditions for decentralized collaboration. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. I hope to earn your vote. Best Regards, Adam Rusch

Cardano and Bitcoin builders rarely end up in the same room. Odd, when you consider how much the two ecosystems share architecturally. So on 7 October, we're putting them in one: @DraperDragon and the @Cardano_CF are hosting Rooftop UTXO Pitch Night, with both sides of the UTXO ecosystem pitching in front of the same investors, 57 floors up at LAVO during @token2049 week in Singapore. If you're building in this space and want to be in the room, registration to attend is still open, link below.
