It hasn't funded DeFi well. The vast majority of that money has gone into DeFi protocols that never even achieved a mainnet release (no fault of catalyst). DeFi protocols are responsible for nearly all of the onchain activity on Cardano, and thus all of the transaction fee revenue generated by the treasury. DeFi makes or breaks a blockchain ecosystem, if you don't carve out a large enough share of the DeFi market to achieve sustainability then you are toast. We need to win in this market; the acquisition of all other markets depend on it. If you don't have a sizable portion of the DeFi market, you cannot break into the enterprise market. The only exception to this is Bitcoin and competing with Bitcoin for the store-of-value market is a death sentence. We don't have intent / solver markets on mainnet (ie. No cow swap equivalent) We don't have liquid restaking / shared security markets (ie. No EigenLayer equivalent) We don't have onchain insurance protocols (no nexus mutual) We don't have flash-loan

Epoch days: 627 Expanding Cardano: the launch of a multi-chain hub shown by x402 official, Hydra v2 alpha, and Lace 2.0 🔽 https://t.co/m93MdFe5Cj Epoch 627 (4/25–4/30) has completed. What did the ecosystem implement in the week after the “Declaration of Autonomy”? 04/27, Cardano joined the official integrated chain of the x402 standard. Officially listed on Coinbase, and the standard specification for AI agent payments has started operating on Cardano. 04/28, IOG's 2026 budget is $46.8M (down 52% YoY). On the same day, Hydra v2 alpha eliminated the collectCom phase, significantly lowering the entry barrier for L2 scaling. 04/29, Lace 2.0 was released. Cardano + Midnight + Bitcoin, supporting three chains from day one. The Cardano wallet moves to a “multi-chain hub.” Also, CIP-159 micro-fee, Pogun (Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano), Daedalus 8.0.0 + Mithril bootstrap, and four Charles videos. Outside, quantum computers have successfully run a 15‑bit ECDLP, Project Eleven earned a 1 BTC prize. Google has proposed a migration to PQC by 2029.

@UtxoSaint Last weeks @NuvolaDigital revenue. Real revenue. Mntx distributed in ADA increased 4,4x. Distributed in USDM and ADA. https://t.co/SoOV3TNoUE

How much has your DRep actually committed to spend? DAVEGov lets you see it directly. Connect your wallet or search any DRep to view their committed spend across the current budget cycle and prior periods. You can also inspect how they behave, their mission. Voting patterns, participation, relative rank, and overall activity are all visible in one place. This gives a clearer picture of intent, consistency, and fiscal approach over time. If governance is about accountability, this is where it starts, enjoy! https://t.co/shf9XrXeeT

@GrahamsNoPlus1 💯 Every time I share this chart it makes me sad. Especially because most of these small SPOs are out here building and contributing to Cardano daily. But most of the large MPOs are exchanges that don't do anything except extract staking rewards. https://t.co/d1bsJh9JDA
