We are delighted to announce the launch of the Cardano Foundation Research Exchange. This fresh series provides an excellent opportunity to engage directly with the minds behind Cardano Foundation research, as our experts will detail their ongoing studies and personally address your inquiries. Our inaugural gathering is scheduled to take place next Monday, 19 October. Be sure to save the date and set a reminder by visiting: https://www.addevent.com/event/32lwv110r7kg
Our ultimate goal with Reeve is to create a financial landscape that is completely transparent for all. To accomplish this, we log financial records directly onto the Cardano blockchain in the form of signed and permanent entries. The moment this information is secured on Cardano, it becomes impossible for anyone to alter it. Consequently, you can trust that each individual record is thoroughly tamper-proof and always available for independent verification.
At Reeve, our ultimate goal is to build a financial environment that offers complete transparency for everyone. To make this a reality, we securely log financial documentation directly onto the Cardano blockchain in the form of permanent and signed entries. After these details are submitted to Cardano, absolutely no one has the ability to alter them. Consequently, every single piece of information is completely protected against tampering and remains independently verifiable at any time.
An exciting evening recently unfolded in Singapore during an event co-presented with @DraperDragon alongside @TOKEN2049. More than 90 investors gathered in the room to hear presentations from nine different startups, with a potential investment of up to $500K on the table.
During the session, these companies pitched a variety of innovative projects encompassing digital identity, AI agents, and DeFi. Each of these promising teams is actively building their technology across Bitcoin, Cardano, and the broader UTXO ecosystem.
Having a massive reserve is no absolute guarantee that a network is safe. Fresh research has uncovered the reasons behind this dynamic.
Last week at AFT 2026, a new analytical model was presented by Paolo Penna (@IOGroup) and Manvir Schneider (CF). The two researchers developed this framework to evaluate the exact reserve size a PoS network requires to preserve its security whenever token prices fluctuate and user demand changes.
The recently concluded TOKEN2049 was a highly successful event for Cardano. Throughout the two-day gathering, 2,000+ people visited the Cardano booth, giving us a wonderful opportunity to present our perspective on why trust remains the defining advantage of blockchain technology.
Reflecting on the time spent in Singapore, CEO @F_Gregaard shared that the team is moving forward with the token standard now live, an independent identity layer, and a custody route set for March. With these crucial foundations securely in place, he emphasized that the primary focus for 2027 will center entirely on helping institutions bring more real assets on-chain.

The Cardano Academy is embarking on an exciting new collegiate adventure. Starting this fall, the Cardano Foundation will actively participate in the Blockchain and Digital Assets course provided by the University of Nicosia (@UNIC_ENG). As part of this academic collaboration, our team will deliver instruction on Cardano fundamentals to the students. Additionally, we are delighted to offer financial sponsorship for 25 places within the Advanced Track of the program.
We are excited to announce that the results for the @TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon have arrived, and the overall winner has officially emerged from the Cardano track. Throughout the competition, participating teams engineered software agents equipped to process payments, receive funds, and supply proof of their work. These innovative solutions were developed on technical rails such as x402 and Masumi. Please read on to discover all of our victorious projects. 🧵
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who visited our booth during @TOKEN2049. Getting to connect with you in the real world was a fantastic experience, and we must admit that you all appear even more amazing in person. Warmest regards from Team Cardano.
A heartfelt thank you from Team Cardano to everyone who took the time to visit our exhibition space during @TOKEN2049. It was a genuine pleasure to connect face-to-face, and we must admit that you all look even more wonderful in real life.
Information in the modern world falls into just two categories: data that has already been breached, and data that is inevitably going to be compromised.
Chief Executive Officer @F_Gregaard highlighted this harsh reality during a recent conversation with @davidwachsman at @TOKEN2049. Their engaging discussion centered on the road ahead for blockchain adoption, the evolution of digital trust, and the vital importance of information security.
Taking immediate action to address these challenges, Frederik shared a significant update at the event. He revealed that @VeridianID is officially spinning out to operate as an independent digital identity enterprise. This strategic transition transforms a bold vision into everyday reality, equipping AI agents, organizations, and everyday individuals with unprecedented authority over their online identities.
Ultimately, this development paves the way for a new standard characterized by enhanced user command, crystal clear transparency, and trust that absolutely anyone can verify.
During a recent conversation at @TOKEN2049, CEO @F_Gregaard and @davidwachsman explored the evolving landscape of data security, digital trust, and the broader adoption of blockchain technology. A key takeaway from their discussion was the importance of building on a foundation of complete transparency using a public blockchain, and subsequently integrating advanced privacy technologies on top of it.
Putting this exact philosophy into action, Frederik shared the exciting news that @VeridianID is officially spinning out to become a fully independent digital identity enterprise. This strategic transition is dedicated to empowering everyday people, corporate organizations, and AI agents with superior command over their digital profiles.
Ultimately, this development paves the way for universally verifiable trust, paired with heightened control and expanded transparency.
Following a successful Governance Action that garnered ~75% support from the community, we are pleased to report that our .ada application is moving into the subsequent stage of the @ICANN Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program. Should the submission receive final approval, the new .ada domain will formally introduce Cardano to the global internet address system, placing it on par with familiar extensions such as .org or .com.
Driven by a Governance Action that achieved ~75% support from the community, our .ada application is currently progressing to the subsequent stage of the @ICANN Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program. If it receives final approval, the .ada domain will seamlessly integrate Cardano into the global internet address system, operating exactly like a familiar .com or .org extension.
After receiving three years of dedicated investment from the Cardano Foundation, Veridian has successfully emerged as an independent digital identity company. Guided by CEO Thomas A. Mayfield, @VeridianID is now stepping forward to deliver its crucial technology to the enterprises and government bodies that require these solutions.
Day 1 of @TOKEN2049 has officially concluded. Here is a look at the event from our vantage point. We would love to know what your experience looked like.
The CIP-0113 programmable token standard has officially launched on the Cardano mainnet. Creators of stablecoins and various regulated assets now possess the capability to embed compliance guidelines straight into native Cardano tokens. These integrated rules are automatically enforced by the network, and the entire system operates without the need for a hard fork.
Are you ready to put your Cardano knowledge to the test?
