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.

DRep Talk 1.8 is out. You can now submit every governance action type on mainnet, from info actions to treasury withdrawals and parameter changes. The metadata is pinned to IPFS for you, so there is nothing to host yourself. dreptalk.com/help/whats-new/

Apex Growth Accelerator is wrapping up week 2. Week 1 alone: the cohort raced around SF, brought in $4,000 in a sales challenge (the most of any team), pitched for feedback ahead of Demo Day and finished with a survival experience alongside @TimDraper that founders called “life changing.” Some of them are Genesis alumni, back for the next stage. 8 weeks to go with @draper_u and @Cardano_CF. @KenomicAI @raycotarrida @caralvmar, @chatterpay @tomasdm_eth, @AscentRivals: @realgUbGuuB, @Ospree_io: @JavierTamashiro, @origamitech_ @korrom18, @NOMADZxyz @ivan_nomadz @vlad_nomadz, @MentionedMarket @taylorferran, @MasumiNetwork @Padierfind / @samizb @Andytang

The proposal plans to hold the copper for 18–24 months before liquidation, with net sale proceeds and unused or unearned funds due back to the Treasury by month 36. But returning the proceeds does not guarantee recovery of the original ₳22 million. Copper prices, ADA/USD movements, operating costs, custody arrangements, and bridge security all affect the financial risk. We'll explore what safeguards, milestones, and measurable outcomes are needed to determine whether the proposal offers sufficient accountability and lasting value for Cardano.
