The Cardano Constitution Is Officially Enacted

As of February 23rd, with Cardano’s Epoch change, the Cardano Constitution has officially come into effect!

Fluid Tokens Brings Babel Fees to Mainnet

Babel Fees are now live on Cardano through Fluid Tokens, allowing users to pay transaction fees using any token, not just ADA. This game-changing feature simplifies transactions for users who primarily hold stablecoins like $USDM, eliminating the need to maintain an ADA balance for fees.

With the introduction of Aquarium, this system offers:

• Seamless fee payments in any token

• Sponsored transactions for dApps and projects

• Recurring payments with automated scheduling

• Opportunities for ADA providers to earn fees

• Enhanced accessibility for new users entering the ecosystem

This upgrade makes Cardano more user-friendly and lowers barriers for mainstream adoption. Read More

🎊 A Message from Lucas

Dear Cardano Community,

This week has been a whirlwind of activity, underscoring both the promise and the challenges within our rapidly evolving ecosystem. The incident involving President Milei's promotion of $LIBRA serves as a stark reminder of the importance of due diligence and the potential pitfalls of unvetted endorsements in the crypto space. It's crucial for all of us to approach such developments with a critical eye and prioritize informed decision-making.

With Token Allies we are launching a governance action to migrate our current $DVC token to the new xDVC, so if you hold $DVC, this is extremely relevant to you: https://x.com/TokenAllies/status/1889916523986264162

This week will be busy, thankfully a lot of things to do! Wish you all the best!
