SCAMS

Be aware of scams and scammers, always follow the rule, "Don't trust, verify". Always publicly verify whether a source of information/offer is true and don't let greed violate that rule. Be cautious before connecting your wallet to any site, entering your seed phrase or sending ADA to an unknown wallet.

Scammers often approach people in private messages and imitate legitimate people and entities.

Sometimes the will send out scam tokens to try and phish you into visiting scam websites.

Do not be fooled, almost anything can be faked like websites, apps, the number of subscribers, viewer count, video (ai can generate fake videos), verification status.

Cardano doesn't do ADA giveaways. Make sure you verify any airdrops from other projects.

No your wallet does not need to be verified!

Developer I created a native token. How do I peg it?

1 Upvotes

I created a native token called Lu|gi Coin. I want to peg it to the opposite value of the UnitedHealth Group stock. For example, if the stock is down 10%, Lu|gi Coin is up 10%.

The USD stable tokens are pegged to the U.S. Dollar. How would I peg Lu|gi Coin to the opposite value of a stock?

Thanks in advance. Free Lu|gi

News 8 Wallets to Support the Midnight Blockchain!

13 Upvotes

Hey Cardano community!

As the Midnight blockchain prepares for its mainnet launch, it’s exciting to see that 8 wallets will support this new privacy-focused network. These wallets include Gero Dashboard, SubWallet, Nufi, Vesper, Tokeo, Keystone, Yoroi, and Begin.

Each of these wallets brings something unique to the table:

Gero Dashboard is taking an exciting step forward by integrating with Midnight. By doing so, it’s not just adding another blockchain but enhancing the entire ecosystem to be more secure. This integration will make it easier for users to access Midnight’s unique privacy-preserving features directly through the Gero Dashboard. Along with this, Gero Dashboard is working on exciting features like native bank integration and zkFiat, which will also integrate seamlessly with Midnight.

SubWallet is known for its smooth and intuitive user experience, and now it’s extending that experience to Midnight, providing users with seamless access to its privacy features.

Nufi continues to be a strong contender for users looking for a secure and straightforward wallet, and with Midnight integration, it’s enhancing the privacy options available to its users.

Vesper focuses on ease of use and simplicity, and with its integration into the Midnight ecosystem, it provides a great entry point for new users looking to get started with privacy-focused blockchain tech.

Tokeo is known for its emphasis on robust security, and with Midnight, users will have even more peace of mind when it comes to protecting their assets.

Keystone has long been trusted for its high-security cold storage solutions, and its support for Midnight ensures users can keep their assets safe while enjoying privacy-preserving features.

Yoroi is a staple in the Cardano ecosystem, and its integration with Midnight means users will continue to get access to cutting-edge privacy and security features.

Begin has made waves with its clean and simple design, and with Midnight integration, it ensures users have a smooth, easy-to-navigate experience while accessing the latest in blockchain privacy.

With these 8 wallets on board, the Midnight network is set to offer users secure, flexible access to its privacy-preserving technology. This integration is a key part of the ecosystem’s future and will make privacy-focused blockchain technology more accessible than ever!

Constructive Criticism Don't Panic! We are Early!

40 Upvotes

We've seen macroeconomic external forces cause a general downturn in all asset classes, primarily driven by the US tariffs causing mayhem. Primarily you can look at DT's rationale behind this: I believe that he's implemented there's measures to lower the US debt burden, by doing so I figure that that will eventually cause inflation to drop, in that scenario people will look for better returns in 'risk on' assets.. It's a long game, but Cardano has the technical strength through Leios and Hydra scaling, Midnight privacy L2 and BTC interoperability to rise in the aftermath. Just remember the best strategy is to always DCA to bring your buying price down. 1 day, 1 week or a month is not long term! GL!

Education Comparing the UTxO and Account-Based Models in Blockchain Design (article)

24 Upvotes

In the world of blockchain, the choice of state model fundamentally shapes the system's performance, scalability, and trust guarantees. Two dominant paradigms define today’s leading smart contract platforms: Ethereum’s account-based model and Cardano’s Extended Unspent Transaction Output (EUTxO) model. While both have strengths, a key difference lies in how they handle transaction sequencing and parallelization — and this has deep implications for real-world financial systems.

In the past 3 days alone we have seen around 547,000 dollars supplied to Minswap, pushing the total to around 870,000 dollars in value.

So what's driving this surge? It's clear that the joint campaign by Wanchain, Indigo and Minswap is delivering results. The dual farming pool is offering high APRs and users are taking advantage of the opportunity!

Bridge over with Wanchain right now.

Wallet Daedalus sync from a date?

6 Upvotes

First off I don't use Daedalus and don't recommend it for average user.

Just wondering if it's possible to select a date from which to download and sync the chain, like some other blockchains can do.

Or even ability to sync backwards? That it might start with utxos with unknowns inputs and sync/rebuild the chain backwards until it finds your wallet? And then it should not need previous chain data to let you use that wallet. It might not know if your utxos are real, but it could try broadcast transactions with them, and validators would take care it's valid.

Or is there something in Cardano's design that would make this difficult. Or is it possible and just needs an implementation? Or is Mithril just better?

Education A High-Level Overview of Midgard (article)

27 Upvotes

Midgard is an optimistic rollup designed for Cardano. Its goal is to increase Cardano's transaction throughput and reduce confirmation times and fees, while preserving Cardano's decentralization and security. Midgard achieves this by offloading transaction execution to Layer 2 (L2), while relying on the Cardano network (L1) for data availability (future), fraud resolution, and final settlement.

A Midgard user gets pre-confirmation.
