Deezy looks at the top performing altcoins in the top 100 after the weekend market crash! You might be surprised. Cardano, SUI, and TAO all lead their respective categories!

Sandro, founder of KWARKX, shares how his team is bringing utility-scale solar to chain via NFT membership passes that let anyone participate in project returns—without the usual high minimums. We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KWARKX's Project Catalyst journey. We also talk expansion (NL, Austria, Italy, Germany), regulation (MiCA & Dubai VARA), and the roadmap: exhibitions, partnerships, and the goal to fund first parks directly on-chain.Timestamps[00:00] Origin story: solar EPC roots → NFTs as access keys[00:02] Problem: Renewable projects require high buy-ins; KWARKX lowers the barrier[00:03] Why Cardano: mission fit, security (no hacks), governance, PoS sustainability[00:05] Reality of renewables: utility-scale builds, storage changes the game[00:06] Case study: 51 MW NL solar + 20 MW battery; ~900M kWh over 20 yrs[00:08] Peak demand patterns; storage & dam “battery” concepts[00:10] Investor access: NFT = membership pass; claimable ADA pool over 10 yrs[00:12] Transparency: on-chain claims, pool visibility, traceability[00:13] Customers: grid entities/governments, NFT community, broader RWA crowd[00:15] Subsidies vs. free-market power sales; cross-border electricity flows[00:16] How big can it get?

In tijden van grote onzekerheid zou je verwachten dat financiële markten nerveus reageren. Maar niets is minder waar. Beetje bij beetje komt de Federal Reserve onder Donald Trumps invloed te staan, toch halen de markten hun schouders op. Begin april reageerden markten nog geschokt op Trumps ongekende acties, maar beleggers lijken eraan gewend te raken. Niet alle marktsegmenten tonen overigens diezelfde onverschilligheid. In de goud- en valutamarkten beginnen beleggers wel een los monetair beleid in te prijzen. Dat is een van de redenen waarom de dollar daalt en de goudprijs stijgt. Maar verder hobbelen aandelen en obligaties gewoon door. Het roept de metafoor op van de kikker in een hete pan. Kikkers die in een pan zitten waarvan het water langzaam wordt verhit, zouden blijven zitten en sterven, terwijl een kikker die in een pan met kokend water wordt gegooid er gelijk uitspringt. Die metafoor is erg sprekend en wordt vaak gebruikt, maar de wetenschappelijke realiteit is dat kikkers in beide gevallen gewoon uit de pan springen. Ze hebben namelijk uitermate gevoelige temperatuursensoren. Alleen bij wrede 19-eeuwse experimenten waar die sensoren waren verwijderd, lieten de dieren een dergelijk gedrag zien. Maar dat terzijde. Markten zijn ook erg relaxed over de AI-ontwikkelingen. Er wordt nog altijd weinig geld mee verdiend, maar als het maar een beetje naar AI ruikt zijn beleggers al superenthousiast. Zo waren beleggers erg tevreden over de Nvidia-investering van $100 mrd in OpenAI. Die dat geld weer investeert in geavanceerde chips van Nvidia. Zo wordt het geld maar rondgepompt.Ook bij de Oracle-cijfers zagen we dit patroon. Beleggers juichten de omzetcijfers toe, maar ik begrijp die euforie niet. Ja, de omzetstijging was indrukwekkend. Maar de winst stagneerde. Dit suggereert dat Oracle de orders met flinke kortingen heeft binnengehaald. Maar als het zo’n groeimarkt is, hoef je toch geen korting te geven? Het geeft aan dat de markt misschien wel niet zo hard groeit als iedereen nu denkt. Of is Oracle gewoon een ordinaire prijsdiscounter? Dat laatste is het meest waarschijnlijk, maar waarom moet de koers dan zo hard stijgen? Diverse analisten hebben dan ook hun winstverwachtingen naar beneden bijgesteld. En nu de orderboeken voor de komende vijf jaar vol zitten, betekent dat alleen maar dat Oracle die magere winstmarges voor de komende vijf jaar heeft vastgeklikt. Fijn dat meneer Markt zo relaxed is. Beleggers dompelen zich onder in de relatieve rust, terwijl deze maanden juist bekendstaan om hun grote koersfluctuaties. Mijn advies: blijf goed nadenken over wat er werkelijk gebeurt. Want markten die te lang rustig blijven en de economische realiteit ontkennen, hebben de neiging op een kwade dag opeens heftig te ontwaken.

Is Altseason canceled? Crypto traders are questioning whether the big rally is already over.  In this episode, we break down the latest market signals, Bitcoin's dominance, and the October crypto targets for Ethereum, Cardano, and other top altcoins.

Wesley Crook (CEO, FP Block) has been shipping hard tech since 1985 and rescuing Web3 builds for years. His team audited Cardano early, served as the public auditor for Hedera for 7 years, and has delivered 110+ projects: L1s, oracles, DeFi, games, and more. We dig into why ~70% of FP Block's work is “rescues,” what enterprise-grade really means (security, throughput, reliability), why many teams pick the wrong chain, and how FP Block's chain-agnostic framework Kolme lets founders treat the application as the blockchain—then bridge anywhere. Also: Rust over vibe-coding, AI for speed (without debt), talent bottlenecks, and where Web3 consolidates next.Timestamps[00:00] Wesley's 40-year tech journey; ops leader turned Web3 builder[00:02] From FP Complete & Haskell → first Cardano auditors; Hedera public auditor[00:04] 110+ deliveries: chains, oracles, DeFi, games; enterprise clients (FS, healthcare, Big Tech)[00:05] Why ~70% of work is rescues; rebuilding for enterprise-grade reality[00:07] The core Web3 gap: few real users, weak UX, security debt, wrong chain choices[00:09] “Ecosystem first” vs user first; interoperability + security as blockers to adoption[00:11] Moving apps off earlier choices (e.g., Polygon) to Solana/Near/Sui when fit changes[00:17] Kolme thesis: the app is the blockchain + bridge out; devs focus on product/UX[00:19] Enterprise patterns: private/closed consortia; logistics, real estate flows, audit trails[00:23] Revenue model: small elite squads (CTO→DevOps); fiat + selective token/rev-share; long-term ops[00:25] AI: faster MVPs & iteration—without “vibe coding” debt[00:30] Tech stack: Rust backend, React frontend; why JavaScript/Python backends bite[00:28] Biggest scaling risk: senior talent > junior glut; teach formal methods, teamwork[00:33] Bold takes: consolidation, common standards, some chains fade; gov & enterprise enter[00:38] The ask: founders needing enterprise-grade builds; partners for KolmeConnecthttps://www.fpblock.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/fpblock/https://x.com/FP_Blockhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wesleycrook/DisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

De Amerikaanse vermogensbeheerder Grayscale heeft een primeur te pakken in de cryptowereld. Voor het eerst is er in de VS een ETF gelanceerd die meerdere munten bundelt in één product. Beleggers krijgen daarmee in één klap toegang tot Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana en Cardano. De eerste handelsdag leverde een omzet van bijna 22 miljoen dollar op, een teken dat de markt hongerig is naar dit soort mandjes. Het roept de vraag op wat het voordeel is van zo’n gecombineerde aanpak ten opzichte van fondsen die slechts één munt volgen. Zijn dit producten die vooral bedoeld zijn voor grote partijen, of juist geschikt voor de particuliere belegger die meer gespreid wil instappen? Opvallend is dat de markt voor cryptofondsen in hoog tempo breder wordt. Sinds vorige week zijn er ook ETF’s beschikbaar die enkel Ripple en Dogecoin volgen. Vooral de lancering van de Dogecoin-ETF zorgde voor opschudding, omdat het om een memecoin gaat die aanvankelijk als grap ontstond. Toch was ook hier het enthousiasme groot. Het roept de vraag op of dit de opmaat is naar nog meer exotische producten, en of de snelle opkomst van ETF’s uiteindelijk een bedreiging vormt voor de traditionele aanbieders van cryptodiensten. Ondertussen waren de prijsbewegingen deze week allesbehalve rustig. Op maandagochtend zakte de koers van Bitcoin in korte tijd enkele duizenden dollars, terwijl altcoins in dezelfde uren soms tien procent verloren. Later in de week lag de focus volledig op het rentebesluit van de Federal Reserve. De uitspraken van voorzitter Jerome Powell zorgden voor een opmerkelijke interpretatie: volgens analisten lijkt de centrale bank de huidige bullmarkt impliciet te steunen. In de nieuwsbrief van Bitcoin Alpha werd zelfs geschreven dat Powell de stijgende markt zijn zegen geeft. Hoe dat precies te duiden valt, komt in deze aflevering uitgebreid aan bod. Daarnaast speelt er nieuws rond bedrijven die bitcoin als onderdeel van hun bedrijfsstrategie aanhouden. Strive, een vermogensbeheerder die pas sinds enkele jaren actief is, kondigde aan Semler Scientific over te nemen. Dat is een medisch onderzoeksbedrijf dat ruim vijfduizend bitcoin in de kluis heeft liggen. Volgens experts kan deze overname het startschot zijn van een consolidatiegolf onder bedrijven met een grote bitcoinreserve. Veel van die ondernemingen hebben de afgelopen tijd met tegenwind te maken gehad. De stap van Strive laat zien dat er een nieuwe fase aanbreekt, waarin partijen elkaar opzoeken en posities consolideren.

Wie wat bewaart, die heeft wat. In de zomer was het iets rustiger en had ik wat tijd om te graven in oude researchrapporten. Ik kwam een oud rapport tegen uit november 2013. Het was de vermaarde fundmanager-survey van Bank of America. Dit is een van de langst lopende enquêtes onder professionele beleggers. Een van de opmerkelijke uitkomsten uit dat oude Bank of America-onderzoek was dat professionele beleggers de waardering van aandelen toen erg hoog vonden. Ik heb even opgezocht wat de koers-winstverhouding van de wereldaandelenindex toen was: 13,5. 13,5, dat klinkt nu als belachelijk goedkoop. Deze waarderingsratio staat momenteel op 19,1, een gigantisch verschil. Toch was die opmerking van destijds niet zo heel vreemd. Immers, een paar jaar daarvoor schommelde de ratio nog onder de 10. Als aandelen in zo’n korte periode zoveel duurder worden, is het logisch dat je aandelen overgewaardeerd vindt. Het is allemaal een kwestie van perceptie. Het is interessant om te kijken naar wat er daarna gebeurde. Beleggers mochten aandelen toen dan overgewaardeerd vinden, maar anderhalf jaar later was de k/w nog veel hoger (16,4) en stonden wereldwijde aandelen maar liefst 40% hoger. Die Bank of America-enquête is erg breed. Afgelopen maand deden er maar liefst 426 fundmanagers over de hele wereld aan mee. Het meest recente rapport had ook een bijzondere uitkomst. Maar liefst 58% van de professionele beleggers denkt dat de aandelenmarkt momenteel overgewaardeerd is. Deze waarderingsvraag wordt al sinds 1998 gesteld en beleggers zijn nog nooit zo stellig geweest als nu. Nog meer dan in 2013 dus. Maar toch blijven de geïnterviewde beleggers enthousiast over aandelen en houden ze erg weinig cash aan in hun portefeuille. Aandelen zijn extreem duur, maar toch blijven ze kopen. Het klinkt een beetje als een stoelendans. Ja, we weten dat de muziek gaat stoppen, maar we dansen gewoon door. Een andere interessante conclusie uit het rapport is dat steeds meer beleggers overwegen om goud te kopen. Toch bijzonder. Dit is het beste jaar voor goud sinds 1980 en pas nu word je enthousiast over goud. Je kan beter enthousiast worden voordat de prijzen zo hard stijgen, niet daarna. Hoe objectief een waardering ook kan zijn, uiteindelijk gaat het om de perceptie. Alles is relatief. Stelt u zich eens voor, we kijken twaalf jaar vooruit in plaats van achteruit. We staan dan in 2037 op een waardering van zeg 25 keer de winst. Hoe hard zullen we dan om onszelf uit 2025 lachen? Dat we 19,1 maal de winst zo duur vonden. Ik denk niet dat dit gaat gebeuren. Maar ja, waarschijnlijk vond ik in 2013 aandelen ook erg duur en had ik de rally van 2014 volledig gemist. Dat september-2025-rapport ga ik in elk geval goed bewaren.

Revenue, revenue, revenue, revenue, revenue. Heel veel omzet dus. Dat lees je in de knallende kwartaalcijfers van Oracle. Het bedrijf zag zijn orderboek bijna verviervoudigen. De omzet van de tak die digitale infrastructuur verkoopt gaat van dit jaar 18 miljard dollar naar 144 miljard dollar(!) over vijf jaar. Na zulke aankondigingen knalde het aandeel met meer dan 40 procent omhoog en werd Larry Ellison, de samoerai van Silicon Valley met zijn Japanse paleis, zijn zes ex-vrouwen, zijn superjacht, zijn Hawaïaans eiland en zijn straaljagers, de rijkste man op aarde. Mooi allemaal, maar Corné van Zeijl van Cardano denkt er het zijne van. Want welk cijfertje staat er naast het woord "net income" oftewel "echte winst"? Ah, ja: nagenoeg dezelfde cijfers als vorig jaar. Nul procent winstgroei dus. We bespreken wat dat betekent voor beleggers in Oracle. De Apple-presentatie van nieuwe producten blonk uit in een ander woord. Design, design, design, design, design. Een nieuwe iPhone, een dunne iPhone, enzovoort. Bent u al in slaap gevallen? Beleggers zijn er niet gerust op. Want zelfs als we de zorgen rond AI even wegdenken, moet Apple consumenten wel blijven verleiden om telefoons te blijven vervangen binnen een redelijke tijd. Misschien kunnen de prijzen nog verhoogd worden? En wat te denken van dat aloude onderdeel services, dat altijd van stal werd gehaald wanneer de smartphones even tegenvielen? Verder bespreken we ook natuurlijk nog even die uitgebreide AEX. Ja ja, je weet alles al- maar toch is het goed om te weten waarom de AEX écht niet naar 50 of 100 aandelen kan. Dat is gewoon onmogelijk, zegt Corné.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the second exclusive interview of the "Treasury Series" for Irish Tech News, Selva Ozelli Esq, CPA, Author of Sustainably Investing in Digital Assets asks Hive's President and CEO Aydin Kilic why he decided to move his sustainable BTC mining company headquarters to the US. President Donald Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) into law on July 18th making it the first federal law to regulate stablecoins. Approved by Congress on Thursday, July 17th the bill's passage saw the digital asset industry assets - particularly digital asset treasury company stocks- surge past a $4 trillion market capitalization for the first time with a report by Coincub showing increased digital asset activity in the US. The GENIUS Act imposes federal and state oversight on stablecoins - digital assets backed by the U.S. dollar - transforming realms of finance forever and making President Trump the de facto crypto president of our Nation. The US's new digital asset strategy as detailed in the crypto report has company CFO's increasingly viewing digital assets as strategic reserve assets. Some are establishing dedicated corporate entities to hold digital assets on their balance sheets and raising capital specifically to acquire them for reserve as detailed in my first interview in the "Treasury Series" is titled "Public Companies You Didn't Know Are Investing in Altcoins, insights with Brian Rudick". Other digital asset technology companies like Hive Digital Technologies are moving their headquarters to the US particularly after President Trump announced that Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano will be included in the Nation's 'Crypto Strategic Reserve'. And Eric Trump Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin at the Consensus 2025 Conference announced "The launch of American Bitcoin [which] represents a transformative moment for Bitcoin mining in North America… I am so proud to share our bold vision for this initiative, which we believe will become the world's largest and most efficient pure-play Bitcoin miner." Recently, Trump Media acquired about $2 billion in Bitcoin as part of its plan to become a BTC treasury company. Aydin Kilic interview Tell us about your educational and professional journey that led you to become the CEO of Hive Digital Technologies? My path to becoming HIVE's President & CEO has been anything but conventional. I began my career in electrical engineering, specializing in radio frequency systems. That technical foundation gave me a strong appreciation for infrastructure, systems optimization, and scalability: skills that continue to serve me in the digital asset space. After engineering, I shifted into Vancouver's competitive real estate market, working in land development and distressed assets. It was a crash course in deal-making, risk management, and the financial discipline of cash flow, all of which became critical when I co-founded Fortress Blockchain during the 2017 crypto bull run. We started as a small mining operation, but within a month we raised $20 million, acquired a 2 MW facility, and went public. That experience was transformative and positioned me to step into larger leadership roles in the blockchain industry. I joined HIVE in 2021, just in time to help ring the Nasdaq opening bell. Since then, I've helped guide the company through some of the most pivotal moments in crypto, from Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake and two Bitcoin halvings, to our custom ASIC collaboration with Intel and, most recently, our expansion into AI and high-performance computing. It's been a dynamic and rewarding journey, and one that's just getting started. With about 50% of BTC mining companies utilizing renewable energy which are often the cheapest source of electricity, tell us about the advantages, the types of green energies the company utilizes and where the company's data centers are located? Sustainability has been at the core of...

"The very fact we came together and wrote a constitution, even if it's not a perfect constitution, is a monumental achievement because people from 50 countries had to come together and get something done."- Charles Hoskinson In this episode of the Facilitation Lab podcast, host Douglas Ferguson engages with Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Input I Output and Co-Founder of Cardano. They delve into themes of facilitation, collaboration, and governance, particularly focusing on Charles's work in developing a decentralized governance model for Cardano. Charles shares insights from facilitating workshops across 50 countries to draft Cardano's constitution, emphasizing the importance of communication, trust, and consensus-building. The conversation also explores the impact of historical governance models and modern organizational design on decentralized systems, offering valuable lessons for fostering innovation and collaboration in diverse groups.

We moeten het echt hebben over Elon Musk. Hoe lang moet Tesla nog onder hem lijden? Voor een tweede keer op rij daalt de omzet - en flink ook. Wanneer het beter wordt, dat weet hij ook niet. Terwijl hij zelf voor heel wat problemen persoonlijk verantwoordelijk is.Beleggers schrikken van de cijfers (en de sombere vooruitzichten) en dumpen het aandeel. Tesla is het slechtst presenterende techbedrijf dit jaar op de beurs. Deze aflevering staan we uitgebreid stil bij de problemen van het bedrijf. Met de belangrijkste vraag: hoe lang mag Musk nog blijven aanmodderen? Blij werden beleggers wél van de cijfers van Alphabet, eigenaar van Google. Dat overtreft de omzet- en winstverwachting. Als klap op de vuurpijl gaat het bedrijf even 10 miljard dollar méér investeren. Christine Lagarde gaat juist even rustig aan doen. De baas van de Europese Centrale Bank verlaagde zeven keer op rij de rente, maar laat die nu voor wat het is. Ze maakt zich zorgen, zegt ze. Over de ‘uitzonderlijk onzekere’ situatie. Welke dat is, vertellen we je.Hebben we het ook over: Een beursbedrijf dat civiel én strafrechtelijk onderzocht wordt De meest geavanceerde Nvidia-chips komen tóch China in Besi maakt beleggers blij met hun blije outlook En het stopt niet met goed nieuws: SK Hynix boekt een recordwinst!

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 114 In this episode of CHAOSScast, hosts Georg Link and Nicole Huesman engage in a deep discussion with Christian Taylor, Terence (Tex) McCutcheon, and Johnny Kelly about measuring and enhancing open source community health through innovative methods. Christian and his team share their experiences in implementing the 'paid open source model' within the Cardano blockchain community, designed to retain and motivate contributors. The panel discusses a variety of topics, including governance models, the integration of AI for report generation, and the challenges of balancing open source principles with corporate interests. They also explore specific tools and metrics used to evaluate project health and community engagement, providing an illuminating look into the future of open source development. Hit the download button now! [00:01:40] Our guests give a brief introduction. [00:04:37] Christian provides a non-technical intro to Cardano, a top blockchain focused on peer reviewed, academic rigor. [00:06:07] Johnny explains Cardano's high decentralization via SPOs, DReps, and community tools like GovTool, and Christian outlines how open source ties in. [00:09:39] Christian talks about open source governance and Intersect and explains Intersect serves like the Linux Foundation for Cardano, holding code, facilitating contribution ladders, and launching an incubation program. [00:13:06] Georg gives a summary for those who are new: Cardano's treasury is funded via blockchain transaction fees. This funding supports open source development, tools, documentation, and maintainers, and Christian elaborates more about this. [00:15:39] Johnny details governance and funding decisions and Christian emphasizes the transparency and checks and balance system. [00:17:08] Nicole raises concerns about aligning paid models with open source ethos and Christian discusses Intersect's neutral, community-owned governance structure and internal checks and Johnny shares a link about the current members and the elective process within Intersect. [00:20:37] Christian shares using Bitergia and CHAOSS metrics to build out Cardano's open source health dashboard. Focus areas were response times, geographic contributions, contribution ladders, and project maturity. [00:26:03] Tex shares their dashboard is public and useful for spotting high-impact projects. He aims to improve documentation standards and repo governance practices. [00:31:05] Georg gives a brief description of the “jellyfish diagrams” that show how developers connect across projects. [00:33:26] Christian shares their approach to using AI in metrics reporting and Tex emphasizes AI assists analysis but doesn't replace human validation. [00:37:10] Nicole asks if the paid open source model is being shared externally. Christian confirms they presented the model at open source summits, validated it with leading experts, stress-tested with community input, and outlines a six month pilot of the model. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:44:06] Georg's pick is going on his first cruise. [00:45:07] Christian's pick is family. [00:45:54] Tex's pick is simplicity. [00:46:38] Johnny's pick is the Calidus Pool-Key. [00:47:54] Nicole's pick is meeting and interviewing Dr. Laura Kelly. *Panelists: * Georg Link Nicole Huesman Guests: Christian Taylor Terence (Tex) McCutcheon Johnny Kelly Links: CHAOSS (https://chaoss.community/) CHAOSS Project X (https://twitter.com/chaossproj?lang=en) CHAOSScast Podcast (https://podcast.chaoss.community/) CHAOSS YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@CHAOSStube/videos) podcast@chaoss.community (mailto:podcast@chaoss.community) Georg Link Website (https://georg.link/) Nicole Huesman X (https://twitter.com/uoduckswtd) Christian Taylor X (https://x.com/DeOpenSourceGuy) Christian Taylor LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-taylor-766b01b1/) Terence McCutcheon X (https://x.com/Tmacqt87) Terence McCutcheon LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tex-oso/) Johnny Kelly X (https://x.com/intertreeJK) Johnny Kelly LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/intertreejk/) Open Source Office at Intersect MBO (YouTube) (https://www.youtube.com/@osointersectmbo) Cardano (https://cardano.org/) Cardano GovTool (https://gov.tools/) Intersect (https://www.intersectmbo.org/) Intersect Committees (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/readme/committee-members) Open Source Office (OSO) (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/open-source-office-oso) Bitergia Repo Maturity Reports (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/all-monthly-reports/bitergia-repo-maturity-reports) Edinburgh Decentralization Index Dashboard (https://informatics.ed.ac.uk/blockchain/edi/dashboard) Contribution Ladder Framework (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/policies/contribution-ladder-framework) Current Open Source Committee Members list and Term Rotation Schedules (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/readme/committee-members) Bitergia Monthly Maturity Reports for 2025 (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/all-monthly-reports/bitergia-repo-maturity-reports/monthly-maturity-reports-2025) Introductory Article on POSM (Intersect) (https://www.intersectmbo.org/news/the-paid-open-source-model) Intersecting Open Source and Sustainability: A Paid Open Source Model for Ecosystems Full PDF (https://493748844-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLBdnzp0eZpGri9sVpseI%2Fuploads%2FvuisqFT8uCyKSDgpNmyW%2FPaid%20Open%20Source%20Model-%20LIVE.pdf?alt=media&token=577c8bd1-c9df-43a0-8b57-e883ddb1254a) Bitergia Dashboard (https://intersectmbo.biterg.io/app/dashboards#/view/Overview) The Paid Open Source Model Concept (YouTube) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4PgqaPWNT4) New Calidus Pool-Key for SPOs and Services Interacting with Pools (https://forum.cardano.org/t/new-calidus-pool-key-for-spos-and-services-interacting-with-pools/143812) She Lights the Way (https://shelightstheway.com/) Dr. Laura Kelly (https://drlaurakelly.com/) Special Guests: Johnny Kelly, Christian Taylor, and Terence (Tex) McCutheon.

Pisa allows users to pay for transaction fees, minimum ADA, and collateral using native tokens instead of ADA. The smart contract handles real-time token swaps behind the scenes and returns a ready-to-submit transaction. No changes to the Cardano ledger are required. SPOs are involved as normal, and there's no batching – just seamless UX. Developers can integrate Pisa with a few lines of code via HTTP API or an upcoming NPM package. Topics include:What Babel fees areHow Pisa improves the user experienceDifferences from other solutions like AquariumDeveloper integration and the planned CIPLaunch timelines and supported tokensPisa launches within 60 days and is set to improve onboarding for wallets, DeFi apps, and games across Cardano.

Charles Hoskinson is the CEO and Founder of Input Output Global (IOHK), the company behind the Cardano blockchain, a proof-of-stake platform hosting the ADA cryptocurrency. A mathematician by training, Hoskinson co-founded Ethereum in 2013.  He launched IOHK with Jeremy Wood in 2015, raising $62 million in a 2017 ICO for Cardano, initially targeting the Japanese market before global expansion. Hoskinson advocates for decentralized governance, as seen in Cardano's 2024 Voltaire framework and 2025 Wyoming Integrity PAC to challenge state stablecoin policies.  His ventures extend to longevity science, with a $100 million investment in the Hoskinson Health & Wellness Clinic in Wyoming, and quirky pursuits like glow-in-the-dark botany and a 2023 Papua New Guinea expedition for extraterrestrial objects. With a net worth estimated at $1.2 billion, he owns an 11,000-acre Wyoming ranch and remains a vocal critic of centralized control in crypto.
