Rocket by JPG Store: A Platform for Launching and Trading Cardano Tokens
Rocket, a foolproof smart contract token designed by JPG Store, is on the verge of launching on Cardano. This recently introduced project is designed to launch any token on the network in less than 30 seconds and, this week, JPG Store also announced that all transactions will be processed through Sundae V3 to ensure a fast, premium, and secure execution.
Token launches on Rocket have a limited time window. If enough ADA is pooled during this window, buyers receive the tokens, and a liquidity pool is created and burned. Rocket offers several advantages, including a fast token launch, funds for liquidity, automatic refunds in the event that a token launch is unsuccessful, fair pricing, and protection against bots. Though it hasn’t yet been announced when Rocket will be officially set in motion, JPG Store has said on social media that the launch is imminent.
JPG Store describes itself as a Cardano NFT marketplace. It serves as a platform where you can find, buy, and sell Cardano NFTs by offering a simple and efficient process, allowing you to connect your wallet and purchase NFTs directly using smart contracts. The Sundae Swap v3 protocol that will be used to process transactions made on Rocket is a decentralized exchange protocol that realizes an automated market maker (AMM) pooled liquidity model on the Cardano Blockchain.

Wanchain’s Cardano Bridge Now Supports Over 10+ Cardano Native Tokens
Wanchain, a decentralized blockchain interoperability solution that enables cross-chain infrastructure, announced this week that its bridge with Cardano currently supports more than 10 native assets.
Beside Cardano’s ADA, Wanchain also supports DEGA, Hosky, Fluxpoint Studios’ $SHARDS, Catsky Crypto, Skills Labs, the Dean Community, Danketsu NFTS’ $NINJAZ, TheADA, and more.
All these Cardano Native Tokens can be bridged to 12 different blockchains: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Astar, Base, BNBChain, Bitcoin, Celo, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Tron, Wanchain, among others.
It was only a month ago that Wanchain celebrated its Cardano bridge one-year anniversary, announcing that its cross-chain volume has reached over $20 million. Wanchain is a blockchain platform that offers both a sustainable proof-of-stake network and decentralized bridges. These bridges connect Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and non-EVM networks directly, eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries. READ MORE

Intersect Launches the Cardano GovTool on the Mainnet
Intersect has announced the launch of Cardano GovTool, a new tool for community governance on the Cardano network. This platform allows ADA holders to participate in key governance actions, such as delegating voting power and proposing and voting on initiatives.
GovTool is designed to simplify the governance process and empower ADA holders to shape Cardano's future. It provides an easy-to-use interface for finding and delegating voting power to DReps, registering as a DRep, proposing governance actions, and voting on proposals.
During the initial bootstrapping phase, GovTool supports only info-type governance actions. These actions serve as a testing ground for the system and will pave the way for more complex governance activities in the future.
GovTool is a user-friendly platform that not only simplifies the governance process, making it accessible to all ADA holders, but also acts as a significant step in advancing Cardano's decentralized governance structure, aligning with the governance framework laid out in CIP-1694. READ MORE

🎊 A Message from Lucas 🎊
I am thrilled to announce that I was selected as a constitutional representative at the Cardano Constitutional Workshop in Buenos Aires! I feel a great sense of responsibility to represent my country to the best of my ability. My good friend Pepe Otegui, a diplomat with several years of experience in Argentina, will join me. I already know that we will make a great team.
In other news, this week I will be posting a document on my X account where I will share my vision for the present and future of the Cardano ecosystem as I move forward with my DRep candidacy. If you agree with my values and the work I’ve been doing for the past three years, I’d be very humbled if you choose to support me with your vote.
This is my DRep ID:
