🧠 Fetch V2: A New DEX Aggregator Built by the Cardano Community

Fetch V2 is live, a Cardano-native DEX aggregator designed by the community, for the community.

What’s a DEX aggregator? It searches across multiple decentralized exchanges to find the best price, lowest slippage, and most efficient route for your swap. Whether you’re trading ADA, NFTs, or stablecoins. Fetch automates the heavy lifting to save you time and money.

They’ve also launched a Stable Swap feature, which lets users swap into all available stablecoins at once, maximizing efficiency and minimizing price impact. Don’t like one? Just uncheck it. You control the pool, you control the trade.

📺 Cardania Launches Cardano’s First Twitch Tipping Integration

Twitch meets Cardano, and tipping just got decentralized. Cardania has launched the first-ever integration of crypto tipping on Twitch powered by Cardano.

Viewers can now tip their favorite streamers, get live alerts, track tip history, participate in giveaways, and receive rewards directly on-chain. It’s a major step toward seamless creator monetization using blockchain, without third-party platforms or middlemen.

This integration creates a new use case for Cardano native assets, where entertainment, rewards, and community meet. As Web3 adoption grows, this type of direct wallet-to-wallet interaction could become the norm across live content platforms.

🚀 TxPipe’s Asteria Game Lets Devs Earn Cardano Summit Discounts

TxPipe just made on-chain gaming even more rewarding, their bot-powered strategy game Asteria now offers real discounts to the Cardano Summit 2025 for players who complete challenges on-chain.

In Asteria, you pilot a spaceship across a 2D grid, moving by submitting real transactions on the Cardano blockchain. Every element, from ships and fuel to rewards, is a UTxO. Now, thanks to the Cardano Foundation, special summit discount tokens are scattered across the map.

This isn’t just a game, it’s an educational tool and tech showcase. Asteria teaches devs how to interact with UTxO mechanics, datum structures, and custom scripts by turning blockchain architecture into a playable map. TxPipe once again proves that learning and building on Cardano can be engaging, fun, and deeply creative.

🎊 A Message from Lucas

Today’s edition is dedicated to Max 💙

Truly heartbroken by his passing. Just a few days ago, we were sharing drinks and talking about governance in Tokyo.
Max was a genuine Cardano enthusiast and a tireless advocate for community-driven governance.

I’ll forever cherish the moment we shared together at the Catalyst Event Tea Party, surrounded by laughter, friends, and the shared dream of building a better ecosystem.

We will all miss you deeply, Max.
Rest in peace 💙
