Cardano Foundation✓

Cardano devs, we want to hear from you. 🛠️ The 2026 State of the Cardano Developer Ecosystem survey helps improve the tools, libraries, and docs you use every day. 15 minutes of your feedback will lead to better infrastructure for all Cardano builders.

As a DRep, we have voted NO on the proposal to buy copper with Cardano Treasury funds. ❌ We see real promise in RWA tokenization, but we believe this proposal is too risky for the Treasury: 22M $ADA under a single party’s control, with high fees and safeguards still in development.

Here's our full voting rationale, and you can verify our vote on-chain:

Thanks to everyone who joined today's AMA, and to @Rahulkonudula, Founder of @TrivolveTech, and @YoramBenzvi, Partner at for joining the conversation. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly they’re building. 🧵

3/ At built with @SyngentaFndnInd, most farmers have no idea they are using a blockchain. They just have a verified record of their land, and with it, a lender and an insurer who can finally see them.

4/ In today's session, someone asked today why not just use a database? Because a database belongs to whoever runs it, and in both cases that is the party with something to gain. That proof has to hold without anyone vouching for it. That is what a public chain is for, and it is why both of today’s guests chose to build on Cardano.

Five minutes and counting to today's AMA. Two projects running on Cardano today, both in India: a farming program with more than 100,000 farms registered on-chain, and a forensic evidence system running with Uttar Pradesh police. You can see the transactions they are generating on the leaderboard, alongside everything else driving activity on Cardano:

RT @Cardano_CF: We're hosting a live AMA tomorrow at 15:00 CET with @F_Gregaard, and @trivolvetech. From farm records to police evidence, both projects are putting real transactions on Cardano. Let’s dig into how. Drop your questions and set your reminders below.

A new framework for allocating Cardano’s 2027 treasury is open for community feedback. If you have a view on how the Net Change Limit should be structured, share it on DRepTalk:

Cardano’s next budget cycle: how can we improve coordination and help DReps assess funding proposals? We’re sharing a proposed Cardano Ecosystem Budget Process for 2027 and inviting your feedback. Read the proposal: Join the discussion:

RT @IntersectMBO: Cardano’s community has no filter, and @Josi_sndnc from the Cardano Foundation sees that as a good sign. Behind every complaint, she says, there’s someone who still cares. We sat down with her at the Intersect booth to interview the interviewer.

Not every blockchain use case involves a token. Our monthly newsletter, Simply Blockchain, breaks down real-world use cases in plain language. The October issue covers how police in India use Cardano to track evidence records. Sign up before it drops:

Police in India’s most populous state now track criminal evidence on Cardano. Every scan and lab result is hashed on-chain, live on active cases in Uttar Pradesh. Our new case study breaks down how @TrivolveTech built it. Check it out:

Another week to build.
