Below you will find my write-up as an independent after action report for the issue impacting Cardano late last week, along with things I learned, why I was impressed, and what I think we can do better at in the future.
I try to strike the balance between confronting the seriousness of the issue, while defusing most of the over-stated positions from talking heads on Twitter. This is an adult conversation, not whatever the children are engaging in on Twitter this week.
I don't think it's productive to get into debates of what constitutes "downtime" or not; Instead, I tried to equip you with a framework where you, dear reader, can think about these things for yourself, and decide what you want to call it.
I just ask that you make that decision for yourself, or allow your audience to do so, rather than parroting some pre-decided talking points.
More informed discussion leads to a higher quality industry overall.

When you mistake novelty for creativity:
Of course it can. Take all 100,000+ games on steam, scrape their descriptions and metadata, semantically plot them in vector space using embeddings, mathematically choose a location in vector space far away from neighbors, convert that back to a description and metadata, boom, brand new ideas ranked by how unlike any other ideas they are.
Sundae v4's central premise is flexibility and composition. We've been working since February towards that idea.
It's fortunate timing that the thing AlphaGrowth needs to attract new projects to Cardano is a DEX partner that can compose and adapt with those partners.

The team behind SundaeSwap, one of Cardano’s longest-running and innovative DEXes.
PRIME is funding a flurry of new core market functions built with the new Sundae v4 smart contracts, unlocking the growth PRIME is set to bring to Cardano DeFi.

Gm all.
SteelSwap v2 is running so smooth. Its a thing of beauty.
When was the last time you told a friend about SteelSwap?

Following the launch of USDrf and sUSDrf, we’ve headed straight to #TOKEN2049 🇸🇬
Come discover more about RealFi at the @Cardano_CF booth! 👀
See you there.
Cquisitor has become one of my most used Cardano tools, so I always try to give back;
If you're looking at sundae v4 transactions, cquisitor now renders all the gritty details. It should help you integrate, if you're so inclined, for example!
Cquisitor just got a very sweet update from @Quantumplation: it can now decode SundaeSwap V4 transactions and show much more useful info about them. The new order graph looks like fresh ice cream during a summer heatwave.

We have been hinting at it for awhile, but today is day.
We have officially released v2 of the SteelSwap API and swap engine.
The biggest news: We support @SundaeSwap V4 and @realfi_co
We have made our API available to partners, and you will be able to swap through partner interfaces as early as today.
The new v2 UI will be released within the next few weeks.
We calculated roughly 2 trillion blake2b hashes to find this seed to set the Sundae v4 pool contract address:
addr1zysundaev4jxq60ehm8tlz6v8nk6lpxpnvgfa2jeszs55f4uzrlrz2kdd83wzt9u9n9qt2swgvhrmmn96k55nq6yuj4qeujly6
Pay close attention to the start of that address 👀
We're doing a phased roll-out to ensure everything goes smoothly;
For now, just two pools are live:
A USDCx / USDrf Linear Swap that allows you to swap for @realfi_co's stablecoin, also launching today. As a Linear Swap, there is no slippage, just a flat, predictable fee.
And a USDrf / sUSDrf stableswap, to exchange USDrf for the staked version.
If you want to see Sundae v4's atomic routing in action, you can swap USDCx directly for sUSDrf (or vice versa) and it will chain across pools in the same transaction.

The Spiral turns 1 year old today! To celebrate, a free new update is now available, plus a limited-time discount on both Steam and Itch (links below!). Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy! #indiegame #gamedev

Good luck on your next steps, @TapTools
For those who need Cardano DeFi Analytics, try
float.sundae.fi
TapTools is no longer a Cardano 𝕏 account.
That is not an easy sentence to write.
Our strongest conviction has moved beyond crypto.
From today forward, TapTools will focus on AI, humanoid robotics, energy, automation, and the technologies pushing the world toward abundance.
That is where we believe the next great transformation is happening.
We'll always have love for Cardano, but it's time for us to move forward.
We hope you will join us for what comes next.

BUT WAIT, ONE MORE THING!
@hoskytoken reached out to us and generously offered to sponsor a surprise award!
The BIGGEST LOSER of the trading competition, calculated as the highest peak-to-trough account value, really took the spirit of the testnet to heart.
@rasunner will receive 1000 ADA worth of HOSKY for embodying the Hosky spirit and driving a maximum drawdown of 35%!
A fun bit of additional trivia: @rasunner also had the most fills of any eligible participant in the competition: 1,583,398 fills!
After careful review, we're excited to publish the winners of the Sugar Rush trading competition!
As a reminder, you can find a copy of the rules here:
sugar.rush.sundae.fi/rules
(If you didn't opt-in to your twitter handle being shown publicly, we've replaced it with the account ID you traded under; We will reach out privately to all winners shortly after this thread)

We've added a new feature to Float: Signals.
float.sundae.fi/signals
Signals allow you to stay informed: curated cross-market anomalous events like large trades, sticky price movements, or stablecoin depeg and repeg events.
We're moving fast and aggressively to make Sundae Float the nicest, most all-encompassing platform for DeFi analytics :)
UPDATE: Sundae Float 🍨
