Yesterday we made our 200th Friday Fix announcement in our Discord. 200 weeks, without fail, updating our community on our progress. 200 weeks. Every single one of them, we worked and progressed towards our goals. 200 weeks of powering through towards our vision and mission, which are so solid they needn't ever change: Build a fantasy world loved by millions of people, with books, games and more. Use the power of web3 to grow an active, incentivised community who help grow the brand. Here's to another 200 weeks and beyond.

Many people ask whether NFTs will make a comeback. We think they're asking the wrong question. Most NFTs are dead, there's no question about it. That's because there is no reason to collect them. Just because something is an NFT, that doesn't make it valuable. NFT is just a technology... in the same way cardboard is. A rare Pokémon card is valuable because people have a reason to collect it. The brand, history, and social context excites them. A piece of cardboard is not valuable. Nobody cares about cardboard. Many Pokémon cards are worthless. This is the same for NFTs. Most NFTs will never make a comeback. But digital (and physical) collectables are already valuable in many cases. Ingame items have sold for millions. Trading cards also. So the better question would be: Which NFTs will make a comeback? We're creating a fantasy world to be loved by millions. As a result, the NFTs can become highly collectable. Not all NFTs will make a comeback. But there's a huge chance for ours to become collectable. Join us.

DReps, you no longer vote on actions one at a time. Select them all, one signature, shared rationale or one per vote 👇

@eternlwallet Waiting for vote rational pinning via gov tools to be workong again

As I have seen current governance, I think Cardano is repeating a mistake from the 20th century. The socialist calculation debate concluded that "central committees cannot replace market price signals." All socialist nations failed to expand their economies in the 20th century. Yet our "Treasury governance" is making exactly this mistake. Hayek's insight: prices compress the dispersed knowledge of millions of decision-makers. No committee, however expert, can process this information. When DReps vote on marketing/commercial Treasury allocations, this is a political process replacing price discovery. The irony: Cardano brands itself as "decentralization." But Treasury-based resource allocation, where political voting replaces market discovery, is structurally identical to central planning. Many DReps drawing from one central pool = Gosplan with a smiley face. Public Choice theory also pointed out that bureaucrats who say "we serve the people" actually maximize their own budgets. "We need funding for the ecosystem" is the Cardano version of "we serve the workers." We knew this type of economy always fails against free market capitalism. No one can be better than the invisible hand of the market. Commercial projects must be funded by profit-making entities with market expertise. DReps, on the other hand, are not directly responsible for outcomes of commercial/marketing projects. It's a wrong fit. If we seriously want commercial/marketing success, don't be socialist. Let the economy be in the market's hands. Stop repeating "Community, community, community." We should think outside the box. coffeepool.jp/notes/drep-vot…

Big news: we've partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (@timebrasil) to transform Olympic sport with public blockchain, IoT, and AI. The three-year roadmap aims to position COB as the global benchmark in sports innovation. The best part? It's all powered by Cardano. ⚡️

New technical blog from IOG DeFi Product Consultant Rusty (@__fallen_icarus) The Account Model: A Trillion Dollar Mistake The account model won because it’s easy to build on. But ease ≠ scalability. As adoption grows: state access gets more expensive dead state accumulates contention wastes gas Success becomes drag. Rusty argues this isn’t fixable — it’s structural. And it means the account model can’t support the kind of DeFi economy the space is aiming for. Read the blog 👇 iog.io/news/the-accou… Disclaimer: Views are the author's. Not financial advice.

@ItsDave_ADA @wolf__nomadic @Fallen_Icarus #DemandTheKernel. Relying on grassroots is too slow (the treasury will run out of money first 🥲). We need a coordinated top-down+bottom-up approach. It should be a top 3 priority: liquidity proposals must cater to the Kernel and the community should focus on projects using it.

We are officially rebranding to **Dano Finance** — a bold new chapter that sharpens our focus on sovereign, high-quality DeFi. Even better: Dano Finance is stepping forward to join @__fallen_icarus in the **DeFi Kernel revolution**. This is how real momentum builds. 🧵👇 #DeFiKernelRising
