A little turn to the left on the wheel of time... what is the Lido Nation Field Trip? Who is it for? And what’s in it? Lido Nation Field Trip is a year-long adventure where reading articles can unlock FREE mintable art NFTs 🎨 Each NFT is a digital souvenir proving you explored, learned, and engaged with Cardano & blockchain content.

Remember when this whiz kid was running around talking about something called the "Byron Reboot" and how Cardano was finally ready to change the world? How's that going @IOHK_Charles ?

📰 K, the data archive from jormungandr (catalyst sidechain) is almost ready 🔥!!! With it you will be able to type in your stake address & see your final votes!!! We will also be able to narrow that 57K registrations to number of actual voting wallets 👀... But until then: the double entries & other issues with the Top Budget and Top Fund Team widget have been resolved. For Groups & Companies we know about, we're also now showing the company name instead of the human. lidonation.com/en/catalyst-e… Also we're now accurately showing separate ada and USD SUMs (since fund 10 moved to be denominated in ada). lidonation.com/en/catalyst-e… Lastly, we haven't taken a breath to thank you for supporting us in fund 10 yet, with all the data wrangling. Thank you! A massive tweet with summaries of what exactly you're supporting in addition to catalyst tooling coming soon. 🛏️Bedtime for the team in the US... tagging the team in Kenya for the next stretch of the great jormungandr relay.

This is a story about some people named Everybody, The CF, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that the CF would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Some got angry about that, but it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed the CF when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

Lido Nation presents A DAY AT THE LAKE An NFT project that partners holder utility with a captivating art collection exploring pond life under the microscope by artist, Stephanie King. Let us know what you think lidonation.com/en/lido-minut…

“I’m not sure how someone can say, for example, that Catalyst is the most centralized funding platform that exists, when close to 100% of all investments that have ever been made have each been the decision of a small number of people, be it a private investor, a hedge fund, a VC firm, etc. Catalyst certainly seems subject to outsized influence from large ADA holders, but it still invites participation from an extremely large body of voters. As with all revolutions, the power held collectively is far greater than the power that is in control; it is only through inaction and apathy that that greater power remains unleveraged.” ~ π 314pool.com/post/catalyst-un…

Byron - Epoch 1 Shelley - Epoch 208 Allegra - Epoch 236 Mary - Epoch 251 Alonzo - Epoch 290 While it took 207 epochs to get to staking in Cardano, it only took ~43 epochs to get nfts & native asset, 49 for smart contract. Excited for Conway, but even more excited to use Conway to fully build out Cardano governance!

Thanks for the feedback and using the tool. Tadah! View tally by challenge. ...now sleep we must.

Another day, another attempt to help you enjoy discovering proposals & participating in #ProjectCatalyst #Fund10 & beyond! Yesterday we released the "reddit style community ranking," today we give you a new view to match the data. ~ Happy Researching! lidonation.com/fr/catalyst-e…

Sheesh, multisig transaction can't be this easy can it? Thought working with #Cardano transactions was supposed to be rocket science? hmmmmmm.

If an $ADA holder has no interest in security and does not care about the subjects of attack surfaces, does forcing/coercing them to stake make security better (higher participation) or worse (less secure results)? #Cardano #Voltaire If you don’t want to vote or run a stake pool, pick a dRep (or stake pool) and delegate to them .

Oooh snacks, we've hit 200 proposals and 33.64 Million $Ada being asked for. Does that mean just half of the proposals are in? A third? lidonation.com/en/catalyst-e…

Pst... reddit style community ranking #ProjectCatalyst is now a thing. Happy Researching.

So you've voted for all your favorite #ProjectCatalyst #fund10 proposals. Did you know there's over 45 Million ada available for builders? Here's a tool to help you quickly find other ideas and initiates you might want to see funded! Happy voting! lidonation.com/en/catalyst-e…
