It's here! Well - almost.

#Cardano's #ProjectCatalyst Testnet is coming soon to computers near you. Here's a quick thread about it and what to expect next.

Come explore with me below and let's dive in.

Firstly, to re-orient, the Catalyst team started sharing the information about upcoming changes to tech stack within the context of Catalyst few weeks ago. Namely, ideas around Deployability and Auditability. You can catch the original thread here to catch up:

Which brings us an opportunity now to introduce the Catalyst Testnet from concept into reality. You can catch the entire video presentation delivered by @SJCatalyst , Catalyst lead architect, at Town Hall here:

Hi #Cardano enthusiasts πŸŽ™οΈ

Don't miss out on today's ADA Digest - your source for the latest news and rumors from the #ADA ecosystem & Beyond. In case you missed something I am bringing highlights, so you stay in the loop and stay ahead of the curve. Join in! πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
1/ CIP-1694 is our main topic and looks like it will be for quite some time as Cardano is transitioning to it's most important phase. In order to learn more about it @CardanoPills has us covered
2/ @blueshiftfi has incentivised testnet for cross-chain DEX. With some other projects this proved to be very lucrative, so test it out and give your feedback

2022 was a landmark year for the #Cardano ecosystem, and it was all because of you, the community. A global movement of developers, entrepreneurs & artists built new solutions, businesses, and experiences on rock-solid foundations.
1/
From the earliest beginnings, you the community ensured the continued growth and success of #Cardano. So, IOG wanted to take a moment to reflect on 2022 and look forward to the age of #Voltaire.
2/
The year began with a drive towards the #Vasil upgrade named after Vasil St. Dabov, one of #Cardano's ambassadors. #Vasil brought an increase to #Cardano's performance and scalability, giving a boost to the capabilities of the entire network.

1/10 Some notable features (not all) of #Cardano Blockchain. The current and upcoming implementation, explained in my articles.
-eUTXO: deterministic model that can handle sending multiple tokens to different addresses in a single tx.
blog.blockmagnates.com/accounting-mod…
2/10 -Cardano has a multi-asset ledger, and so all tokens issued on the network has native token treatment, similar to ADA coins and no smart contracts are needed for interaction (as in Ethereum).
liberlion.medium.com/cardano-and-to…
3/10 -Cardano has native liquid staking, which has no blocking or slashing of funds. Funds can always be withdrawn and ownership of fund keys is maintained at all times.

-Hard Fork Combinator for hard network updates, without friction or trauma.

Today, we take a look back at the third of Cardano’s roadmap phases: Goguen.

🧡 1/n
The Goguen phase

The Mary upgrade allowed Cardano users to mint tokens, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), without smart contracts.

🧡 2/n
The Alonzo upgrade introduced smart contracts, adding the ability to build #DApps on #Cardano.

Alonzo also introduced the world to #Plutus, a purpose-built #smartcontract dev language and execution platform.

Interesting F9 data 1/n 🧡
In @BullishDumpling Catalyst Twitter space right now...

Sharing #ProjectCatalyst data is important. Thanks for the #Cardano community creators that put together these data. This has helped me to understand where more improvements can be made for F10
2/n

The swarm plot gives a great sense of voter decisions trends - in so much as the trend follows that highest *rated projects tended to get approved, and very very few low *rated projects were approvedπŸ‘ @danny_cryptofay @benohanlon @mtschofield @IOHK_Charles Image
3/n FWIW I don't think this should be taken as the whole picture, nor should we assume that because proposals *rated high that voters went along with Proposal Assessors.

What it highlights to me is most proposals were not funded only because the budget ran out in the challenge

The proposal Daedalus Turbo is actually infeasible in the current state, which got funded

The step involved in the #ProjectCatalyst to prevent such an event is the proposal finalizing stage

Where veteran proposal assessors (vPAs) give green light to proposals for voting stage
Daedalus Turbo just got funded for building a technically infeasible product

Total funds allocated USD 759000

That is 6% of the total catalyst budget, allocated to a team/person with no experience in #blockchain development
Even after #CardanoCommunity, red flagging this proposal way before the voting stage, through informal channels

The lack of accountability and the technical knowledge of vPAs actually resulted in this proposal getting funded

Governance is a crucial component of #Decentralization

This is something that #Bitcoin & #Ethreum conveniently ignore

But, #Cardano is built based on 1st principles & governance is a key focus of development

Here is a thread on Governance, Voltair era & Project CatalystπŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
Like the way, democracy unshackled regular citizens to grab power from the feudal lords

#Bitcoin was the 1st movement

Enabling regular citizens to grab power from the flawed financial institutions

To create a fair, transparent & inclusive financial system

To bank the unbanked
But #Bitcoin has a fundamental flaw, which #Ethereum inherited

"Lack of Governance"

This lack of governance resulted in major community splits

Ethereum & Ethereum Classic as a result of a hack in 2016

Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash over the debate of the network's scalability in 2017

So, the @UglybrosNFT Discord server was breached this morning at about 2 AM EDT.

Here's a post-mortem on what happened 🧡
Important Note:

The Discord has been secured. Serge and his team were amazing and did all the right things to recover their Discord, I helped out a little where they needed it, but they did it mostly on their own. πŸ‘ to them for handling with such professionalism
Q: How does this happen?

A: Serge's Discord account was breached through a bookmark phishing attack. These attacks can steal your Discord token (essentially your discord "seed phrase") and log in without 2FA.

Back in April 2021, we created Essential Cardano – a community-maintained GitHub repo to chart our thriving ecosystem – as well as a comprehensive list of resources to help you learn more about #Cardano. 1/4

Over the last week we added:

IMPORTANT THREAD: Over the past 24 hours we have seen a lot of social media speculation (and let's face it, outright FUD & misinformation) over Cardano’s ledger approach and specifically β€˜concurrency’. Let’s clear this up. #Cardano $ADA 1/n
Cardano is a UTxO (Unspent Transaction Output) blockchain, which utilizes a different programming paradigm for DApps than on account based blockchains like $ETH 2/n
The specific flavor #Cardano uses is the eUTxO – or extended model which we believe offers greater security, allows for fee predictability (no nasty surprises...) and offers more powerful parallelization. 3/n

To recap, we're building out the remaining #Goguen #Smartcontracts capability via a series of color-coded testnets, supported by the #Cardano community. We're adding new community testers as we go, steadily adding new users as we add functionality, test, iterate & improve 2/14
On Monday, we asked our #AlonzoBlue community testing team to nominate and bring new members into the program (a mix of experienced SPOs and developers) ready for #AlonzoWhite. We’ve now also invited and started onboarding these new users 3/14

After driving for nearly 8 hours this weekend, I wanted to put out a general update on @adasafeguard and what I see as the potential future for a DAO-centered user protection solution that lives on-chain.

Time for a (large) #Cardano $ADA thread:
1/ At first, I began working on ASG as a centralized Chrome extension. You can even see the beginnings of a POC on @github here: github.com/cjkoepke/ada-s…
2/ Unfortunately, I ran into two problems:

1. My limited time constraints and the cost of infrastructure (all my time is currently going to @thecryptodrip).

2. Starting a blockchain protection solution with a centralized genesis, and eventual tech debt.
