Last Friday marked an exhilarating milestone in my career as I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the leading minds in Quantum Computing, Cryptography, and Blockchain technologies. We delved deep into the pioneering concept of One-shot Signatures and explored its Applications to Hybrid Quantum/Classical Authentication. This innovative approach, leveraging quantum no-cloning to create signatures that self-destruct after a single use, promises to revolutionize cryptographic tasks by ensuring unparalleled security and integrity in digital communications.
The implications for our industry are profound. We discussed groundbreaking applications ranging from quantum money, which is theoretically impossible to counterfeit thanks to the non-cloning theorem, to decentralized, blockchain-less cryptocurrency and beyond. The potential for these technologies to redefine economic finality and enhance the security and efficiency of digital transactions is immense.
This collaborative effort was generously sponsored and organized by the Cardano Foundation, in partnership with the Ethereum Foundation. Working alongside our colleagues from Ethereum was a testament to the incredible achievements possible through collaboration. The discussions also touched on the current state of quantum computing hardware and its potential impact on our industry, highlighting the urgent need for continued research and development in this area.
Special mentions to Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, Aggelos Kiayias from IOG and the University of Edinburgh, and Stephen Wiesner, the pioneer of quantum money. Their insights were invaluable in framing our discussions on the future of quantum money and the critical role of quantum computing in the evolution of blockchain technologies.
Charles Hoskinson also shared inspiring thoughts on the direction of blockchain research, emphasizing the importance of game theory, tokenomics, and zero-knowledge proofs. This gathering was not just about sharing ideas but also about inspiring a collective vision for a more open, fair, and interconnected world.
As we look to the future, the promise of technologies like one-shot signatures and quantum money offers a glimpse into a world of unlimited possibilities. It's a world where the limitations of current blockchain technologies are transcended, and where the principles of physics itself safeguard the integrity of our digital lives. This event has only fueled my excitement for what's to come and reaffirmed my commitment to contributing to these transformative advancements.

OPINION: A lot of people in this space classify an action as unethical only when they’re not the ones doing it. If you had the opportunity to do what many have been exposed for, would you do it?
Many of influence will tell you certainly not. But is it because they truly would deny that opportunity, or simply because they’ve been deprived of it in the first place?
Be careful with whom you surround yourself with in the space. Many wolves walk amongst the sheep, waiting for the right moment to pounce. If someone shows you who they truly are, believe them. Many pretend as if their Twitter Profiles are merely a persona they play, an alter ego if you wish. But isn’t it truly who they are?
Underneath the mask, with no shame or opportunity for real-world consequences. When we can hide behind a pseudonym, you see people’s true character come out into the limelight. These Jpgs, however idiotic it may seem; represent the true identity of many of the bad actors in the space. They would never behave in this manner in the real world, yet continuously do so here.
This space allows people to be who they truly are. Without any regulation, it allows people to be truly free. However, how has utter freedom worked out for us all? How has self-governance played out?
How has collectively enforcing ethical standards been effective exactly? The truth is, it’s gone horribly. Change needs to occur, regulations need to be implemented, and bad actors need to be held responsible. When is enough, going to be finally enough? When is the moment that the industry will stand together as one against the chaos? When are we going to actually make the world a better place for everyone, not simply for the cabals within the industry?

Someone has to say it.
Cardano DeFi is killing it.
It is ready to attract a critical mass of users and will boom in 2024. 100% sure of it! Let me tell you why.
When investing in DeFi, you have the potential for higher returns compared to traditional finance.
We see yields frequently exceed 10% annually on stablecoins and are often much higher on riskier assets,
I am 100% sure we have seen nothing yet. The permissionless nature of DeFi gives investors flexibility over their funds, potentially big returns and more control.
With governments taking a totalitarian turn I see DeFi as my go to for everything finance.
Here are five possibilities to make money with DeFi on the Cardano blockchain.
1. Getting ADA, sending it to a wallet like @lace_io, and staking it to one of the 3000 stake pools - like RUMOR. ADA is free to use whenever needed and while being staked it accumulates passive income. Safe and Sound
2. Something more exciting? Lending out your ADA on LenFi or Liqwid Finance and getting yield + ADA staking rewards from step 1. Make your ADA work for you
3. Getting more advanced now - Minting a synthetic asset on Indigo like iUSD and earning yield from the protocol plus from borrowing the asset
4. Providing liquidity in one of many DEXes on Cardano like MinSwap, MuesliSwap and SundaeSwap. Earnings are coming from transaction fees and farming the token for extra yield
5. Instead of using NFT just as PFP lending it out on FluidTokens or Levvy After the contract expires, NFT goes back to your wallet, plus the accumulated profit. Make your NFT work hard for you lol
We are doubling down with new wave of protocols coming online in the near future
- Butane
- Axo
- Encoins P2P on ramp
- GeniusYield
- Lending Pond
- Crashr
- Optim Finance V2
- USDM
- DJED V2
I could go on. Possibilities are limitless.
Tell me what did I forget to mention 🙏
Cardano DeFi hasn't had its bull market yet and the market will not stay irrational for long.
Hold. Your. Knickers.

ADA is going to absolutely explode because (with revisions):
DexHunter and TapTools provide one of the best trading experiences in crypto.
Minswap and Spectrum provide scaling and fast batching for trades.
AXO is coming with a whole new experience.
Simple yet beautiful synthetic asset protocols such as Indigo and Butane provide real-yield.
Fixed Rate markets with Optim Finance and Danago allow for exposure to a market even larger than the stock market.
A massive conglomeration of lending protocols such as LenFi, Levvy, and more strengthen the stability of the ecosystem.
Various forms of stablecoins such as DJED, iUSD, and cUSD innovating native solutions to long-term problems. Not to mention USDM.
Rosen Bridged assets such as USDT, USDC, and more give access to trusted solutions that have withstood the test of time.
Powerful real solutions such as World Mobile and Iagon.
Strong media competitors such as NEWM and Book IO removing corruption and high fees for authors.
Various AI narrative products such as AGIX and NTX.
Strong communities across the board, including one of the largest grassroots memecoins: SNEK
And not to forgot our most valuable asset.
The eUTXO model and the principles of development on ADA.
ADA is about decentralization and security.
I, for one, believe those to be the most important things in the true vision of decentralizing finance.

@everyone We've had a huge amount of people join the Discord in the past few days. The amount of excitement in here is great, we've been building this behind closed doors for a year and everyone being as excited as us is very motivating. Due to this, I wanted to share our Catalyst proposals with everyone again.
We've been developing Atrium for a year now. Everyone on our team has spent countless hours developing Atrium with no compensation. I personally have invested large amounts of capital into developing smart contracts that we will open-source for the community. We believe Atrium has the ability to be an on-boarding platform for the next million Cardano users. We believe Staking Baskets will incentivize users to stake towards Cardano's decentralization. We also believe our social platform built into Atrium will give users a better way to connect with projects, and earn rewards from project engagement.
In this post, I will link all of our proposals in Project Catalyst. If you want to support Atrium, vote yes on our proposals. If you need assistance on voting, please reach out. I'll be pleased to help you register your wallet to let you vote on Cardano's future! We're asking for a lot. We know the amount that we're asking for is justified due to the year of work that's already gone into these proposals. Our Staking Basket smart contracts are in the testing phase, we're close to entering the testing phase for User Account NFTs.
What makes me confident in requesting this amount from Cardano's treasury is the fact that we've already developed a lot of what we're asking for. You're voting on a real product that's been in development for a year, and not an idea for a team that has yet to be created. We're going to ship this product no matter what, it's my life goal at this point. However, funding would speed up our development hugely. If you have any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear it. We'll tag everyone one more time when voting starts. If we tag you too much, please let us know. Thank you for your continued support, and thank you for your consideration in this Catalyst round.
We've also written a medium article that you can review here: https://medium.com/atrium-lab/catalyst-proposals-53180e0bf831

"Here’s an article from the WEF saying that after crypto’s disaster year 2022 (which of course totally did not happen because of planted bad actors etc etc), if we all just hand control of this space to JPMorgan all will be well. Lmao, get rekt"
GARY
Thank you for sharing this enlightening article which reveals dark intentions known to many. Perfect that the Cardano Spot platform is in the works.
ARTICLE ON WEF WEBSITE
"2022 was a terrible year for cryptocurrencies, with the loss of $2 trillion in market value. We could now see the handover of crypto technology and blockchain infrastructure to more regulated and established institutions. Cryptography and blockchains will continue to be integral parts of the modern economic toolkit.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/future-of-cryptocurrencies-davos2023/
Lucid's Tweet summarized by Open A.I. Assistant:
An idea has been proposed for Cardano, a PoS blockchain, to allow people who live in the US to participate without fear of prosecution while maintaining maximum decentralization. This tool would be for stake pool operators (SPOs) in the US, who might be considered a business under the new regulations, to be able to verify and allow users to stake with them without breaking any laws. The idea involves putting information in the metadata of transactions. This would not change the base layer of Cardano, and it would make Cardano more decentralized by allowing more people to participate. The idea has not been officially confirmed and it has been suggested that it might make Cardano more attractive to users.
Tweet by Lucid:
The same thing that is being cried about right now will actually give Cardano another advantage over every other PoS blockchain. Transactions aren't getting blocked. No one loses Decentralization. It doesn't negatively effect Cardano at all. If anything it will actually open up Cardano to more people who would of been forced to sit out.🧘
This would be a tool that will allow people who live in the US to participate without fear of prosecution while still maintaining maximum decentralization for the Cardano Blockchain. Again this wouldn't effect the functionality of Cardano one bit and it does not effect users either. This would just be a tool specifically for stake pool operators who live in the United States to use. 💪
To go deeper into this philosophical conundrum I for one believe in freedom of business. With the freedom of business comes the right to protect yourself and your business. Most places have the right to deny service to anyone who is causing issues for their buisness. I don't think it is right for people to ruin somebody else's business (Stake Pool) because they don't have to follow the same rules that US residents have to. So yes I think giving SPOs the complete freedom and the ability to remain operating a Stake Pool if laws get more intense is a great option to have. This doesn't stop users from staking. It is only for US Stake Pool Operators who might end up being looked at as a business. 🤝
Everyone is getting what Charles said very wrong. He did NOT say that everybody is going to have to KYC to use Cardano. This issue is only for people who want to delegate to stake pool operators who are located in the United States. Because of the weird regulations that are coming stake pool operators in the United States will be forced to either move or shut down their operations.😱
This idea that Charles had wouldn't be a big change to Cardano. He said that there is a way to put information in the metadata of a transaction so when you delegate to a SPO located in the US they can verify and allow you to stake with them without breaking any laws! That's it! Nothing about the base layer of Cardano is changing and this will only make cardano more decentralized because more people are going to be able to actually participate without breaking the law.😏
I see a lot of people getting angry but I'm not seeing a lot of people really thinking this through. I also can think of ways that projects can use this to provide different communities more value and options to work with as well! Imagine a only NFT community Stake pool with high rewards or different types of ISPOs. I'm sure people will think of more cool creative ways to use this tool.👑
Oh yeah and it was just an idea. Not official lol I hope this made things more clear! Cardano is still going to be number #1 and to me this high level problem solving only makes me more bullish. If the SEC throws us a curve ball Cardano will still be ready where everyone else has no plans at all. Cardano!🌐♥️e is only for people who want to delegate to stake pool operators who are located in the United States. Because of the weird regulations that are coming stake pool operators in the United States will be forced to either move or shut down their operations.😱

"Here’s an article from the WEF saying that after crypto’s disaster year 2022 (which of course totally did not happen because of planted bad actors etc etc), if we all just hand control of this space to JPMorgan all will be well. Lmao, get rekt"
GARY
Thank you for sharing this enlightening article which reveals dark intentions known to many. Perfect that the Cardano Spot platform is in the works.
ARTICLE ON WEF WEBSITE
"2022 was a terrible year for cryptocurrencies, with the loss of $2 trillion in market value. We could now see the handover of crypto technology and blockchain infrastructure to more regulated and established institutions. Cryptography and blockchains will continue to be integral parts of the modern economic toolkit.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/future-of-cryptocurrencies-davos2023/
Lucid's Tweet summarized by Open A.I. Assistant:
An idea has been proposed for Cardano, a PoS blockchain, to allow people who live in the US to participate without fear of prosecution while maintaining maximum decentralization. This tool would be for stake pool operators (SPOs) in the US, who might be considered a business under the new regulations, to be able to verify and allow users to stake with them without breaking any laws. The idea involves putting information in the metadata of transactions. This would not change the base layer of Cardano, and it would make Cardano more decentralized by allowing more people to participate. The idea has not been officially confirmed and it has been suggested that it might make Cardano more attractive to users.
Tweet by Lucid:
The same thing that is being cried about right now will actually give Cardano another advantage over every other PoS blockchain. Transactions aren't getting blocked. No one loses Decentralization. It doesn't negatively effect Cardano at all. If anything it will actually open up Cardano to more people who would of been forced to sit out.🧘

ONLINE BLOCKCHAIN RESOURCES
A-Z ORDER
A dear family member was introduced to Cardano two years ago by me. He invested, but became impatient and diversified to other blockchains, where he lost heavily. Recently, I had the pleasure of introducing Cardano to someone who'd never heard of blockchain or crypto, and helped him get started. Here are some -
Suggestions from Gary (not financial advice)
• Don't forget the first rule of investing: never invest more than you can afford to lose.
• Stay within the Cardano ecosystem for fewer complications, more world betterment, and caring community spirit.
• Be careful, never give out your keys, and keep informed through the Cardano Twitter community. 'Not your keys, not your crypto.'
• Consider staking with single pool operators, as that improves decentralization and the health of the ecosystem.
• Consider also staking to mission-driven renewable energy pools.
• However, don't feel guilty for delegating to an ISPO for awhile, e.g., if that's in your best interests. Balance.
• Check your investment regularly, as things happen which can affect earnings - stakepools retire, etc. Your ADA is still safe on the blockchain but might not be gaining rewards.
• Remember, generally ADA is for the longer term. Other native tokens within the ecosystem, however, can yield higher, faster returns as the blockchain develops.
• Beware of crypto scams such as fake accounts and giveaways.
• Don't let your brain go into FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Stay grounded and centered.
• Be aware of the Bear and Bull market cycles. Don't panic with drops or get overly-excited with gains. Think long-term.
• DYOR (Do Your Own Research), think for yourself, and be self-aware of motives.
• Research also any projects 'on the blockchain, but not of the blockchain' before investing.
• Questions can usually be answered by the community or Cardano forums.
• Having said all that, imo, this is a great time (with low prices) to stock up on as much ADA as possible keeping the aforementioned in mind.
Community controversies generally arise from misperceptions and assumptions based on incomplete information. The first step towards resolution is becoming well informed, unemotionally, on the facts from all perspectives. Every story has more than one side.

CARDANO COMMUNITY
From Gary:
Cardano, the most scientifically developed and decentralized cryptocurrency blockchain and global operating system, enables self governance not only in the economy but in many facets of life.
Self governance requires personal maturity among members of a community, which is why resources for emotional regulation are included in the links.
Question for the Cardano Community
How do you feel about:
FORMING
A Voluntary Association of Members
of the Cardano Community
Towards Self-Governance.
and/or
DEVELOPING
Processes and procedures within the scope of self-governance by the Cardano community. At least, in some cases to have conversations which result in forming recommendations the community can make to IOG, etc.
Input, feedback, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Initial Thoughts:
Principles of Cardano
Decentralization
Security
Scalability
Interoperability
Innovation
Principles of the Community
Welcoming to All
Weeding Out Bad Actors
Providing Education, Resources and Help
Betterment Online by Defeating Scammers, Etc.
Betterment Offline by 'Real World' Projects
Standard of Conduct
Tweet complete and clear
Mindful of public audience
Emotionally regulated
Filtered to Remove Harshness
Listen to Community Feedback
Expand the Community
Personal Reflection Encouraged...
Procedures for Debated Situations
Reaching out to Cardano Foundation
Accountability of ISPOs and Devs...
Please provide input!

TWITTER THREAD REPRINTED
by Cardano Gourmet
Do you want to be involved in building on Cardano but you're not a programmer?
Here are 9 opportunities to get involved right now in Cardano (as a non-tech person)!
Thread 🧵👇
1 — Participate in conversations
Start engaging in discussions (Twitter, YouTube, Forums, Blogs...) to :
- Fight intellectual dishonesty
- Warn the #CardanoCommunity (scams, red flags..)
- Share ideas and support new projects
Share knowledge and learn from others 🧠
2 — Join events
Start joining in-person or virtual events to :
- Meet people
- Learn about projects
- Share your ideas
Most of the events are free (like Cardano Summits).
👉 Find events here: meetup.com/pro/cardano/ (73 groups, in 44 countries with +30k members)
3 — Delegate to Single Pool Operators
Start staking your $ADA in SPO and :
- Earn ∼4% rewards per year (compounding)
- Help decentralize the network
⚠️ Avoid CEXs (Binance, Coinbase..). Pick a non-custodial wallet to keep custody and withdraw freely (no lock-up period)
NOTE from Gary:
Imo, ADA users need to make best choices for themselves, without feeling guilty. I delegated to single pool operators before staking to Genius ISPOs for higher and more diversified rewards, and for their community contribution. Now that the ISPO is completed, I've gone back to single SPOs.
4 — Become a content creator
Grow your audience on social media to have an impact inside the Community and beyond
Add value to the ecosystem by learning and developing a deep understanding of Cardano
👉 Successful creators: @cardano_whaleon on Twitter and @cryptorecruitr on YT
5 — Become a digital artist
You're a designer, a musician?
Bring your digital art and mint your first NFTs on Cardano.
Explore the vibrant NFT ecosystem and get inspired by hundreds of creators.
👉 Explore the NFTs marketplaces: @jpgstoreNFT @CNFT_IO @Tokhun_io ...
6 — Become a Cardano Ambassador
Join the Cardano Ambassadors Program to drive adoption, promote awareness and educate (currently +50 ambassadors).
You can nominate yourself as a :
Content creator
Meetup organizer
Moderator
Translator
👉 Apply here: cardano.org/ambassadors/
7 — Become a Delegate Representative (dRep)
Any $ada holder can delegate its voting power (Catalyst) to a dRep.
The role of a dRep is to :
- Source and review data
- Coordinate and form policies
- Consult with experts
- Vote on projects
👉 Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
8 — Get a job in the Cardano ecosystem
Apply to positions in Marketing, HR, Finance, Project Management.
The 3 Cardano founding entities are currently hiring :
- cardano-foundation.jobs.personio.com
- apply.workable.com/io-global/#jobs
- emurgo.io/career/
And many more other companies!
9 — Invest in the ecosystem
⚠️ Only invest what you can afford to lose. NFA ⚠️
If you feel comfortable, you can invest in :
$ADA : Cardano's native token
Projects of its ecosystem
NFTs collections
You can also start using DeFi (borrow/lend) to increase the network activity.
Bonus — Learn to code
Start your journey of becoming a Haskell developer (the coding language picked by Cardano).
You need to learn some Haskell to build dApps with Plutus, its native smart contract language.
👉 Beginner Haskell by IOG (free course) : iohk.instructure.com/enroll/3BAAGG
Done! Time to get involved! 🥊
👉 If you found this thread valuable:
1. Feel free to follow me @cardano_gourmet for more threads
2. Please Retweet (this page) to create a spark for more people
🚀💙
COMMENT ON ABOVE THREAD
Great thread! I would add:
Become a Proposal Assessor and earn ADA while learning about many exciting projects, developments, and community activities seeking funding through Project Catalyst.

Gary Note:
The following is a thread on Twitter by Unknown Living @Unknownliving11
1. So lad , you're willing to explore #Cardano?
I get why you have/had doubts, there's a lot of misinformation out there.
Thanks for coming around and reconsidering.
This community is unmatched; welcoming, intelligent and willing to help.
A thread to help you get started lad:
🧵
2. Let's chat the basics now aye.
Proof of Stake & staking.
Cardano allows for safe, non-custodial staking. This means that you can hold your $ADA in your own wallet, w/ no locking mechanism, and delegate that to a stake pool of your choice to earn rewards (3-5% APY) every 5 days.
3. Now lad , PoS allows for greater throughput/decentralization, and less power consumption.
There are thousands of stake pools minting blocks for the network you can move your delegation at any time to another if you choose.
You can also spend the ADA in your wallet at any time.
4. A few pools, and their operators @kdevpls and I personally recommends lads:
(Twitter Addresses)
HAZEL @NilsCodes
HERO @HEROsPool
MALU @Cryptofly777
21ADA @thinkgrowcrypto
BERRY @berry_ales
SMAUG @SmaugPool
APE @TheADAApe
DYOR and sorry to the great operators this list omitted.
5. Moving on, let's chat wallets now aye.
PC full node:
daedaluswallet.io
Browser extension / Simple UX
NamiWallet.io
Browser extension / Mobile app 🏆
eternl.io/app/mainnet/we…

@MinswapDEX
minswap.org
@wingriderscom
wingriders.com
@SundaeSwap
sundaeswap.finance
@CardanoMaladex
maladex.com
7. NFTs: Cardano NFTs (sometimes called CNFT) have been active since early spring 2021 and there are TONS of great projects to dive into.
They suggest the largest NFT marketplace is:
@jpgstoreNFT
jpg.store
Other marketplaces:
@CNFT_IO
@artano__io
@Tokhun_io
8. NFTs cont'd (DYOR)

• However, don't feel guilty for delegating to an ISPO for awhile, e.g., if that's in your best interests. Balance.
• Check your investment regularly, as things happen which can affect earnings - stakepools retire, etc. Your ADA is still safe on the blockchain but might not be gaining rewards.
• Remember, generally ADA is for the longer term. Other native tokens within the ecosystem, however, can yield higher, faster returns as the blockchain develops.
• Beware of crypto scams such as fake accounts and giveaways.
• Don't let your brain go into FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Stay grounded and centered.
• Be aware of the Bear and Bull market cycles. Don't panic with drops or get overly-excited with gains. Think long-term.
• DYOR (Do Your Own Research), think for yourself, and be self-aware of motives.
• Research also any projects 'on the blockchain, but not of the blockchain' before investing.
• Questions can usually be answered by the community or Cardano forums.
• Having said all that, imo, this is a great time (with low prices) to stock up on as much ADA as possible keeping the aforementioned in mind.
Community controversies generally arise from misperceptions and assumptions based on incomplete information. The first step towards resolution is becoming well informed, unemotionally, on the facts from all perspectives. Every story has more than one side.

CARDANO COMMUNITY
From Gary:
Cardano, the most scientifically developed and decentralized cryptocurrency blockchain and global operating system, enables self governance not only in the economy but in many facets of life.
Self governance requires personal maturity among members of a community, which is why resources for emotional regulation are included in the links.
Question for the Cardano Community
How do you feel about:
FORMING
A Voluntary Association of Members
of the Cardano Community
Towards Self-Governance.
and/or
DEVELOPING
Processes and procedures within the scope of self-governance by the Cardano community. At least, in some cases to have conversations which result in forming recommendations the community can make to IOG, etc.
Input, feedback, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Initial Thoughts:
Principles of Cardano
Decentralization
Security
Scalability
Interoperability
Innovation
Principles of the Community
Welcoming to All
Weeding Out Bad Actors
Providing Education, Resources and Help
Betterment Online by Defeating Scammers, Etc.
Betterment Offline by 'Real World' Projects
Standard of Conduct
Tweet complete and clear
Mindful of public audience
Emotionally regulated
Filtered to Remove Harshness
Listen to Community Feedback
Expand the Community
Personal Reflection Encouraged...
Procedures for Debated Situations
Reaching out to Cardano Foundation
Accountability of ISPOs and Devs...
Please provide input!

TWITTER THREAD REPRINTED
by Cardano Gourmet
Do you want to be involved in building on Cardano but you're not a programmer?
Here are 9 opportunities to get involved right now in Cardano (as a non-tech person)!
Thread 🧵👇
1 — Participate in conversations
Start engaging in discussions (Twitter, YouTube, Forums, Blogs...) to :
- Fight intellectual dishonesty
- Warn the #CardanoCommunity (scams, red flags..)
- Share ideas and support new projects
Share knowledge and learn from others 🧠
2 — Join events
Start joining in-person or virtual events to :
- Meet people
- Learn about projects
- Share your ideas
Most of the events are free (like Cardano Summits).
👉 Find events here: meetup.com/pro/cardano/ (73 groups, in 44 countries with +30k members)
3 — Delegate to Single Pool Operators
Start staking your $ADA in SPO and :
- Earn ∼4% rewards per year (compounding)
- Help decentralize the network
⚠️ Avoid CEXs (Binance, Coinbase..). Pick a non-custodial wallet to keep custody and withdraw freely (no lock-up period)
NOTE from Gary:
Imo, ADA users need to make best choices for themselves, without feeling guilty. I delegated to single pool operators before staking to Genius ISPOs for higher and more diversified rewards, and for their community contribution. Now that the ISPO is completed, I've gone back to single SPOs.
4 — Become a content creator
Grow your audience on social media to have an impact inside the Community and beyond
Add value to the ecosystem by learning and developing a deep understanding of Cardano
👉 Successful creators: @cardano_whaleon on Twitter and @cryptorecruitr on YT
5 — Become a digital artist
You're a designer, a musician?
Bring your digital art and mint your first NFTs on Cardano.
Explore the vibrant NFT ecosystem and get inspired by hundreds of creators.
👉 Explore the NFTs marketplaces: @jpgstoreNFT @CNFT_IO @Tokhun_io ...
6 — Become a Cardano Ambassador
Join the Cardano Ambassadors Program to drive adoption, promote awareness and educate (currently +50 ambassadors).
You can nominate yourself as a :
Content creator
Meetup organizer
Moderator
Translator
👉 Apply here: cardano.org/ambassadors/
7 — Become a Delegate Representative (dRep)
Any $ada holder can delegate its voting power (Catalyst) to a dRep.
The role of a dRep is to :
- Source and review data
- Coordinate and form policies
- Consult with experts
- Vote on projects
👉 Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
8 — Get a job in the Cardano ecosystem
Apply to positions in Marketing, HR, Finance, Project Management.
The 3 Cardano founding entities are currently hiring :
- cardano-foundation.jobs.personio.com
- apply.workable.com/io-global/#jobs
- emurgo.io/career/
And many more other companies!
9 — Invest in the ecosystem
⚠️ Only invest what you can afford to lose. NFA ⚠️
If you feel comfortable, you can invest in :
$ADA : Cardano's native token
Projects of its ecosystem
NFTs collections
You can also start using DeFi (borrow/lend) to increase the network activity.
Bonus — Learn to code
Start your journey of becoming a Haskell developer (the coding language picked by Cardano).
You need to learn some Haskell to build dApps with Plutus, its native smart contract language.
👉 Beginner Haskell by IOG (free course) : iohk.instructure.com/enroll/3BAAGG
Done! Time to get involved! 🥊
👉 If you found this thread valuable:
1. Feel free to follow me @cardano_gourmet for more threads
2. Please Retweet (this page) to create a spark for more people
🚀💙
COMMENT ON ABOVE THREAD
Great thread! I would add:

Gary Note:
The following is a thread on Twitter by Unknown Living @Unknownliving11
1. So lad , you're willing to explore #Cardano?
I get why you have/had doubts, there's a lot of misinformation out there.
Thanks for coming around and reconsidering.
This community is unmatched; welcoming, intelligent and willing to help.
A thread to help you get started lad:
🧵
2. Let's chat the basics now aye.
Proof of Stake & staking.
Cardano allows for safe, non-custodial staking. This means that you can hold your $ADA in your own wallet, w/ no locking mechanism, and delegate that to a stake pool of your choice to earn rewards (3-5% APY) every 5 days.
3. Now lad , PoS allows for greater throughput/decentralization, and less power consumption.
There are thousands of stake pools minting blocks for the network you can move your delegation at any time to another if you choose.
You can also spend the ADA in your wallet at any time.
4. A few pools, and their operators @kdevpls and I personally recommends lads:
(Twitter Addresses)
HAZEL @NilsCodes
HERO @HEROsPool
MALU @Cryptofly777
21ADA @thinkgrowcrypto
BERRY @berry_ales
SMAUG @SmaugPool
APE @TheADAApe
DYOR and sorry to the great operators this list omitted.
5. Moving on, let's chat wallets now aye.
PC full node:
daedaluswallet.io

@MinswapDEX
minswap.org
@wingriderscom
wingriders.com
@SundaeSwap
sundaeswap.finance
@CardanoMaladex
maladex.com
7. NFTs: Cardano NFTs (sometimes called CNFT) have been active since early spring 2021 and there are TONS of great projects to dive into.
They suggest the largest NFT marketplace is:
@jpgstoreNFT
jpg.store
Other marketplaces:
@CNFT_IO
@artano__io
@Tokhun_io
