๐ Minswap Launches Official API for Tokens and Pools

Minswap has released its official API, allowing developers to directly query token data and liquidity pool metrics from the protocol.
This upgrade makes it significantly easier to build dashboards, analytics tools, trading interfaces, and automated systems on top of Cardanoโs largest DEX. Instead of scraping or relying on indirect data sources, teams now have a standardized and reliable way to access live on-chain information.
As Cardano DeFi continues to grow, tooling like this becomes critical infrastructure. An official API reduces friction for builders, improves data consistency across the ecosystem, and helps external developers integrate Cardano liquidity into broader DeFi and analytics stacks.
๐ zkFold Makes Cardano Effortless for Web2 Users

zkFold is lowering one of the biggest barriers to adoption on Cardano: onboarding. With zkFold, users can create a wallet instantly using Google or Apple login and even send ADA via Gmail, all secured by zero-knowledge cryptography.
This approach removes the complexity of seed phrases and manual setup, making Cardano accessible to users with no prior crypto experience. At the same time, developers gain simple ZK-secure integrations that preserve privacy without sacrificing usability.
By abstracting away friction while keeping self-custody and privacy intact, zkFold opens the door for Cardano apps to reach a much broader audience. Itโs a meaningful step toward mass-market adoption without compromising on security principles.
๐Cardano Signs Multi-Year Integration with Dune Analytics

Cardano is officially coming to Dune, following approval under the Critical Integrations program led by Input Output, Cardano Foundation, EMURGO, and the Midnight Foundation.
Dune is the analytics platform of record for much of Web3, used by analysts, funds, builders, and institutions to track real-time activity across leading networks. Integrating Cardano data directly into Dune creates a shared, permissionless source of truth for on-chain usage.
This brings Cardano into the same analytical environment already used across the industry. Builders, DReps, and external capital allocators will be able to compare, analyze, and understand Cardano activity alongside other networks using familiar tools. Integration work begins now, with Cardano support expected to roll out during 2026 under a multi-year agreement.
