A New Era of Decentralized Social Media on Cardano

Cardano’s social media landscape is witnessing a transformative shift with the launch of VYRA, a platform that's pioneering the use of blockchain for decentralized networking. By integrating with the Cardano wallet, VYRA enables users to connect and interact without the need for traditional contact details such as emails or phone numbers.

The embrace of Cardano’s blockchain technology by VYRA reflects a broader movement towards decentralization in the digital world. The platform's commitment to a decentralized framework demonstrates a significant shift in how social media networks can operate, providing a blueprint for future platforms looking to harness the power of blockchain for more autonomous user experiences.

The Cardano community and decentralized technology enthusiasts are keenly observing VYRA’s progress as it pioneers this novel integration. The success of such a platform could signal a transformative trend in social media, where user empowerment and self-sovereignty become the new standards. Read More

Argentina at the Forefront of Blockchain Innovation

In a significant step forward for technological education in Argentina, the National Technological University (UTN), ADA Solar and the Cardano Foundation have signed an agreement to install a blockchain laboratory at the UTN facilities. This initiative aims to promote innovation and knowledge in the area of blockchain technology, opening up new opportunities for students, teachers, and researchers.

A Space for Innovation and Learning

The blockchain laboratory will serve as a research and development center where the diverse applications of this disruptive technology can be explored. Students will have the opportunity to learn about blockchain in a practical way, participating in specialized projects and workshops. The partnership also contemplates integrating the Cardano Academy as an educational tool for university teachers. Read More

🎊 A Message from Lucas 🎊

Hey! I know, I know… I missed a day, yes I am really sorry. The past few days a delegation from IOG came to Argentina and I got to show them around the city, preparing some cool stuff for the Cardano Constitutional convention in December! Who is coming? Either way, I am sorry we are working on expanding our team to make sure this doesn’t happen again :=)

Don't forget we now have referrals… You might wanna start getting some people onboard… just saying… there might be prizes soon!
