- [It’s Perpetuals Season for Cardano](https://learncardano.io/its-perpetuals-season-for-cardano/): Cardano DeFi is moving into a new phase.
- [Cardano Builds, Midnight Moves, and the Next Wave of Crypto](https://learncardano.io/cardano-builds-midnight-moves-and-the-next-wave-of-crypto/): This week’s roundup is packed with governance momentum, infrastructure progress, and ecosystem expansion. From IOG’s 2026 treasury proposals and Leios simulation work to Midnight cross-chain progress, new DeFi listings, and major ecosystem updates like JPG Store’s sunset, it’s another reminder that Cardano is still shipping and still building for the long term.
- [Cardano in Motion: Paris Blockchain Week, Summit Governance, and Builder Momentum – Cardano Newsletter 17th April, 2026](https://learncardano.io/cardano-in-motion-paris-blockchain-week-summit-governance-and-builder-momentum/): This week was about visibility and execution. Paris Blockchain Week showed Cardano out in the world, while Summit governance kept moving, and builders kept shipping across DeFi, infrastructure, and interoperability.
- [Weekly Cardano & Crypto Roundup – 13th April 2026](https://learncardano.io/weekly-cardano-crypto-roundup-13th-april-2026/): This week’s roundup is a mix of governance, infrastructure, and ecosystem growth across Cardano and adjacent crypto. WLFI dominated the wider conversation, while Cardano Summit, partner chains, Midnight onboarding, and developer tooling all kept momentum moving.
- [Public Markets vs Private Participants – Rethinking What Blockchains Are For](https://learncardano.io/public-markets-vs-private-participants/): I recently came across a piece titled Public Markets, Private Participants. It is one of those articles that not only explains a concept but also reframes how you think about the entire space.
- [What Is Selective Disclosure? The Missing Privacy Layer in Blockchain](https://learncardano.io/what-is-selective-disclosure-the-missing-privacy-layer-in-blockchain/): Blockchain has always been about transparency. But that transparency exposes too much. Selective disclosure gives you control over what data you reveal and to whom — and it is exactly what Midnight Network is designed to solve.
- [UTXO vs Account-Based Models: Understanding the Core Design Trade-offs in Blockchain Architecture](https://learncardano.io/utxo-vs-account-based-models/): One of the most important and often misunderstood differences between blockchain networks lies in how they manage state and process transactions. At the centre of this discussion are two dominant models: the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model and the account-based model.
- [Midnight Mainnet is Live – Cardano, Midnight, Crypto Weekly Round Up, 3rd Apr 2026](https://learncardano.io/midnight-mainnet-is-live-cardano-midnight-crypto-weekly-round-up-3rd-apr-2026/): This week has been monumental with the official launch of the Midnight mainnet! We're seeing the narrative shift quickly from launch hype to real-world integration, with massive infrastructure upgrades across Cardano and important conversations around institutional privacy and scalable data.
- [Midnight Banks on Chain – Cardano, Midnight, Crypto Weekly Round Up, 29th Mar 2026](https://learncardano.io/midnight-banks-on-chain-cardano-midnight-crypto-weekly-round-up-29th-mar-2026/): This week felt less like a collection of announcements and more like a snapshot of where the ecosystem is actually heading. Cardano kept pushing its technical roadmap forward, Midnight landed a major banking partnership, and Bitcoin interoperability stories continued to move from theory into practice.
- [How to Claim Midnight $NIGHT Token Airdrop](https://learncardano.io/how-to-claim-midnight-night-token-airdrop/): Please be aware that the Midnight GlacierDrop (Airdrop) has not yet started at this time.
- [Top 10 Impacts of the Midnight Airdrop and Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano](https://learncardano.io/10-impacts-of-midnight-bitcoin-defi-on-cardano/): Cardano is entering a transformative era with the integration of Midnight, its privacy-focused sidechain, and the advent of bridgeless Bitcoin DeFi. These developments are poised to redefine the blockchain landscape by enhancing privacy, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions, and expanding decentralised finance (DeFi) opportunities.
- [Set a 300 million ADA Net Change Limit for Epochs 563–635](https://learncardano.io/set-a-300-million-ada-net-change-limit-for-epochs-563-635/): I voted NO on the proposal to set a 300 million ADA Net Change Limit (NCL) for Epochs 563–635 because it does not align with Cardano’s current treasury inflows and may hinder the ecosystem's growth.

- [Cardano Blockchain Ecosystem Budget – 275M ada Administered by Intersect](https://learncardano.io/cardano-blockchain-ecosystem-budget-275m-ada-administered-by-intersect/): I voted YES because this proposal presents a well-structured approach to coordinating and funding key projects that support the Cardano ecosystem. We need this development and support of key Cardano projects within the ecosystem. It brings together 39 initiatives focused on development, governance, marketing, infrastructure, and innovation, all aligning with Cardano’s 2025 roadmap.
- [Cardano Blockchain Ecosystem Budget: Amaru Node Development 2025](https://learncardano.io/cardano-blockchain-ecosystem-budget-amaru-node-development-2025/): I voted YES because the Amaru project makes Cardano stronger and more decentralised. Right now, we rely on just one main node (written in Haskell) to run the network. If something goes wrong with that, the whole system could be at risk. Amaru gives us a second, fully working option, built in Rust, a language known for safety, speed, and flexibility.

Built using Substrate from the Polkadot ecosystem, these chains can optimise for speed, cost, and specific use cases like privacy, AI trading, or decentralised storage. Projects like Midnight, Materios, and Vola Network are already pushing this forward, showing how applications can scale more efficiently by running on their own dedicated chain while still connecting back to Cardano. It’s a powerful trade-off - slightly more centralisation in exchange for performance and flexibility - and we’re now starting to see real-world use cases emerge.

- [How to Set a Limit Order on Minswap](https://learncardano.io/topic/limit-orders/): A limit order is a trade order that allows users to buy or sell assets at a specific price or better. Unlike market orders, executed immediately at the current market price, limit orders give traders more control by setting a predefined price at which the trade will be executed. This feature ensures that users only buy or sell an asset if it reaches their desired price point, which can be beneficial in managing risk and optimising trade outcomes.
- [What is Auto Routing?](https://learncardano.io/topic/what-is-auto-routing/): Auto routing is a feature on Minswap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Cardano blockchain that optimizes the path for token swaps to ensure users receive the best possible trading outcomes.

By using order expiration, traders can better manage their trading strategy, avoiding unwanted open positions and maintaining control over their orders in volatile or low-liquidity markets.
- [One Cancels the Other](https://learncardano.io/topic/one-cancels-the-other/): A One Cancels the Other (OCO) order allows traders to place two conditional orders simultaneously, understanding that if one of the orders is executed, the other is automatically cancelled. OCO orders are typically used to manage risk and potential profits by combining stop and limit orders. This setup helps traders automate their exit strategy, ensuring they lock in profits or minimize losses.
