and @IOGroup published a full account of how Leios gets from the hard fork to mainnet, which is the clearest explanation yet of why the rollout happens in
stages.
@JBriggsLondon sat down with @theblockopedia_ at TOKEN2049 on one member one vote, funding for builders, and where AI agents and privacy go
next.
@Cardano_CF has been busy on two fronts: an Agentic Coding on Cardano module landed on Cardano Academy alongside UCLA and University of Nicosia
partnerships, and the Foundation published a MiCA review and a response on SEC classification.
