00:00
Let’s start off this Cardano news update with some pretty good news that came out of Cardano Bidler Fest. And this is the event that happened late last week where a lot of the really bright minds in the Cardano ecosystem got together. All these really, really good devs that been building out protocol level stuff, brand new features and whatnot. And they highlighted and showcased a lot of really cool tech.

00:26
So all these cool teams got together, could actually see what each one of them were building over the last year. And a lot of cool stuff came out of it. And let me just highlight some really good stuff. First off, the Midnight team were also there, and they’ve been building out to the Midnight chain and been working with a lot of collaborators to start building up their ecosystem. So they went through a bunch of things, interoperability, Midnight architecture, private smart contracts, plus selective disclosure.

00:56
The mesh SDK for midnight to show examples and docs and further enhancement. Now this is really cool. The mesh SDK guys that they’ve been building a lot of front end tools for Cardano and all the smart contracts side side things there. But they’ve also built out a bunch of the midnight side of things. So if you wanted to get ahead of the competition right now.

01:20
I highly recommend that you look into mesh JS and all of the dev tools that they’ve built over the last year in regards to everything they built in the Cardano ecosystem, but then also for midnight now, it’s all TypeScript based. It’s all within their SDK. And if you want to find out more about how it all works, find it at meshjs.dev. Maybe I will go through their libraries there and find out what you can start building within the Cardano ecosystem.

01:48
So this is a really nice way of going about it. I’ve got a lot of react components. So if you’re a react developer, you’d be able to pick up anything here and start integrating in Aiken smart contracts, high JL two solutions, things for midnight and also the polka dot substrate as a blockchain builder. So a lot of cool stuff here, guys. So hats off to the mesh JST. Now I do these videos on regular basis to keep you guys up to date with everything that’s happening. I do all these interviews.

02:17
And I don’t get paid for any of this. All my revenue primarily comes from the YouTube ads and sale of NFTs. So if you want to support the channel, you can become a channel member. You can have a look here. These are all my fantastic channel members at the moment. You can subscribe if you have the means to do so. And it’s just a price of a cup of coffee. So it’s I’ve kept it as low as possible. So if you can, if you do have the means, if you do want to support

02:47
You can do so that way and it keeps me going, keeps me motivated and keeps me producing these videos for you guys. If you can’t afford that, that’s totally fine. You don’t need to, don’t feel guilty that you can’t. But if you can at least hit that like and subscribe button. It helps with the algorithm and helps me get these videos out there for the community. Now with that out of the way, let’s get back to it. We also have some highlights from Hydra Hub.

03:13
and other community members. this is just one I couldn’t go through everyone’s updates, but I thought I’d point this one here, point this one out here because Hydra is going to be a big thing for scalability for the ecosystem. So Hydra is an L2 solution and you’ll be able to spin up this type of infrastructure really easily thanks to things like Hydra Hub. So this is something to keep an eye out on as well. There isn’t any like an ecosystem token or anything like that. This is purely a bit of tech.

03:43
that builders can pick up to make their dApps faster. So this is a really cool thing that we can see from the ecosystem at the moment. So we’ve got Hydra, it was released a while back, but now we’ve got tooling and all these other things building on top of it to make that deployment easier and quicker. So this is one of those things that is going to really boost the ecosystem in general. And this update here from TXPipe, I won’t go through it because I know a lot of you won’t understand the technical aspects behind it, but they’re on a mission to make

04:13
the coding and developer experience on Cardano easier, as easy as it is in the EVM space. And one of the really hard things is the transactions that you can pull up from the Cardano blockchain explorers. You grab the transactions and it’s really hard to work out what’s going on in that transaction. This bit of code that they’ve worked up, the TX3, will allow you to break that apart and get a better understanding. So this is kind of like an interface into the transactions.

04:42
think that’s a good way to describe it. But this will make the developer experience a lot easier. So thank you TXPipe for working on that. And if you are a developer, you can find out more about this at Dollos Cardano data node. And you can follow the links down below. And there’s some demos on here as well. So if anyone does want to dig in and have a look at how it all works, you can have a look at the show notes down below and find out a little bit more about what TXPipe are doing. This particular update here, this was

05:11
really, really good to see. was hints that the Midgard team, Midgard are building a optimistic L2 roll up for the ecosystem. So this is another L2 solution that will allow dApps to scale up the transactions and make really faster ecosystem dApps, but without needing to do much more work other than deploying on Midgard. So this is

05:36
same to same one to one code that you get on the Cardano ecosystem. We put it onto Midgard and you would have the same DAP. So imagine going to MinSwap and you could choose the change you want to do it on Cardano L1 or Midgard and you’d be able to interact either one exactly the same way and once just a lot faster because it’s on the L2. So we have, we will have options. We will see DAPs pick that up and deploy on Midgard as well. So this is going to be really cool. Now the significant stuff here.

06:06
Why it’s so cool. Look at this transactions fees in the range of 0.00023 ADA. So at the moment transaction fee or a DEX transaction might be, you know, 1.2 ish plus batch of fees and whatever else might be on top of that. So it does add up. And if you were doing a lot of fast or trying to do fast transactions like trading every minute, for example,

06:33
Those transactions of these will be insane and you can’t do that fast faster type of trading that a lot of people do the minute by minute trading and trading against those five percent swings on the minute candles. So being able to have these super low fees on Midgard is really, really important. TPS is higher than L1.

06:56
It didn’t go into details in regards to how fast, how much faster, but you might be able to see from these screenshots here, recorded transaction per second. I really can’t see from this screenshot, but it looks like 10, but I really can’t see. But you know, it’s the ability to get fast transactions than the Cardano L1 is the key thing here. And then we also have opportunities for liquidity providers to get

07:25
premiums from off-ramping users not sure what that is exactly or maybe off-ramping to Midgard I’m not sure but you know that that might be an interesting play there to to move liquidity around of course it all still rolls up back to the Cardano main chain but you do need liquidity from what I understand on Midgard as well so this is going to be a very interesting time when this one rolls out so Midgard awesome stuff there I can’t wait to find out more about it

07:56
Now this other update here from Raoul, this is around zero ADA spent for a transaction. Now this is where Babel fees are coming in. So this is using other tokens or a treasury or a third party to pay for your fees as opposed to paying yourself with ADA. And this is significant because it will work. Hopefully the idea is increase the amount of transactions on the chain because you are no longer paying transaction fees.

08:25
They’re being paid by another means, whether you’re paying in a fluid token, which is the token that you’re trading with or something else. So this is making things a lot more appealing to trade on Cardano directly. And this is thanks to all their work that they’ve been doing with Aquarium. That’s their Babel feature. I’ve tried it out on the test net already and it indeed did a transaction without any ADA as fees. So this is really cool stuff.

08:53
And you can see from these other demos here, I think this is on begin wallet. can’t I think that’s Vespa. I think this is begin wallet just by the coloring. That is definitely eternal. And that is definitely lace. But you can see the common thing here is they’re moving a little bit of fluid tokens and the transaction fees is zero. That’s absolutely amazing. That’s the main thing to

09:21
get out of this particular update. And we’re going to see this very soon. So when Maynet 14th of May mid next month, so a couple of weeks time, about three weeks, we’ll see this live on Maynet. This is awesome. And will DEXs have to do extra work to make this happen? I’m not sure. I’m not sure about that, but it looks like maybe it can be implemented on the wallet level, which makes things really appealing. Now this other update from the team here is around running

09:50
an aquarium validator node. So if you watch my video about setting up a Cardano node from home and running the code there so that you can make some extra revenue, this is where all of that practice that you’d had with setting up a node at home can now be applied to running an aquarium node. Now the aquarium node, it looks like you will need some fluid tokens into the state into the node. So I’m guessing they’re hinting here at 30K.

10:20
fluid token. haven’t seen the documentation or anything around it yet, but it looks like you need a certain amount of fluid tokens on your node to be able to run the node as a validator. So that locks up various tokens, increase buying pressure for more people that want to run these nodes. So it’s good for the fluid token ecosystem overall, but the actual node itself runs on Docker. So if you’re familiar with running Docker commands and building from there, you’ll be able to run and get this, get this working as an aquarium validator.

10:49
Now did see here there is Raspberry Pi support. So I’ve got two of these old Raspberry Pis that are sitting around which aren’t strong enough to be the Cardano nodes anymore. But it sounds like they’re powerful enough to be Raspberry Pi, not Raspberry Pi, I’ve validates, be strong enough to be aquarium validators. So that’s good. I can reuse some of this old hardware. They’ve got the inbuilt N-E-V-M-N-V-E-M.

11:19
Now, in EVM hard drives, that’s kind of like an SSD hard drive in there, but super fast. So it should be more than capable to run one of these validated nodes for fluid tokens. I’m going to have to play with it. I’ll report back and let you guys know how it all goes. But full guide here, like I said, if you’ve gone through and done the Cardano node tutorial and everything and followed that through,

11:46
You should be able to follow these ones here and set up your own node within your own hardware as well. It is a Java based one. You do need a block frost key as well. So there’s a little bit more to it. You have to set up a brand new wallet too. So there’s a bit of work to do, but it seems a lot easier because I’ve got the full documentation here. So do check that one out. I think I will be a fluid tokens node provider here. Looks good to me. Now, while I was researching that, I did find some other opportunities around

12:15
that for our SPOs and node providers. And this one here is Icebreaker. So these are Icebreaker nodes for Block Frost. So Block Frost is an API that is widely used within the Cardano ecosystem to interact and read data from the chain. And this here is the idea of decentralizing the Block Frost nodes, reducing the cost of their hardware, but then also giving rewards to the SPOs that run the nodes.

12:44
Now this was uploaded, this was posted late last year in November, 2024. It is now April 28th of April. So this is old news. I completely missed this one though. But I did submit a application for this one. So maybe I can join in as a late comer here. you know, Input Output, IOG do own this now and they are working out ways to improve block frost, decentralise that network and make it better. So at the moment, or might be transitioning,

13:15
Block Frost would have their own infrastructure and their own nodes. They’ll have a cost to running that and they’ll have to maintain that and keep it up and running to be able to provide this service for the whole ecosystem. So that all falls down to IOG at the moment. And if they ever go to a business, they don’t have the funds to keep Block Frost running. All the dApps out there, all the Cardano websites even, if they’re running on Block Frost, they won’t be able to connect to the Cardano blockchain.

13:42
So having this decentralized and run by stateful operators in the network will ensure that this will always stay up and online. If there’s a good incentive ecosystem there, we can take advantage of that and run our own nodes, keep block frost running, keep the ecosystem running, not just through the nodes, but further. And this is overall a really good approach. So I remember from catalyst proposals a long time ago.

14:10
that they were looking at decentralizing this so it’s good to see that the path is still being walked and we will see a decentralized block for us in the future so awesome stuff check that one out as well if you’re a node operator and you can find out a little bit more about it all now I’ve got a giveaway here guys so this here is Cardano for the masses new book this is the Aiken book this is how to Aiken this probably isn’t the best example here but there it is

14:38
That is the book there. You can see on screen. This is how to how I can Aiken. If you ever want to learn how to do smart contracts on Cardano, this is a brilliant book to start off with. I claimed my copy, so I’ve got one copy for myself, but I have another 10 copies to give away to you guys. So if you’re interested, please reach out in the comments down below. I will DM you from

15:05
comments and hopefully I’ll be able to give you one of the redeem codes that way you can, if you’re interested, learn how to Aiken yourself. This is a giveaway via the book IO, Cardano Foundation and John Green here. John Green is a course writer for the Cardano Foundation. So I dug into what he’s doing at the moment and that’s the position that he’s in. So this is about engaging.

15:34
the Cardano ecosystem and giving away these learning resources to people so they can start writing smart contracts. Now Aiken has made that process so much easier. So if you want to learn, please pick up this resource and start building smart contracts. So leave a comment down below guys. While you’re there, hit that thumbs up and like subscribe notification bell. I’ll keep you updated with everything that’s happening in the space. So let’s have a look at some ecosystem updates now. And this one here I thought was really cool.

16:04
This is a couple of updates from the Begin Wallet team and they’ve built in Lending and Earning Guild directly from their wallet. So this allows you to interact with Liquid Finance. Now Liquid Finance is one of those really cool borrowing lending protocols on the Cardano ecosystem. They’ve been around for a long time. But this here is a brilliant way of interacting with Liquid Finance without needing to go to their website and learning how the interface works or anything like that.

16:34
is directly in your wallet. Invest directly in wallet, track, tap, done. Yes, in seconds. So you get the bit of liquidity that you need like a USDM or USDC, have it in your wallet and you can earn APY directly from in your wallet via the liquid finance protocol. So this is brilliant work by the Begin Wallet team. But it doesn’t end there. We’ve also got more stuff.

17:02
We’ve got Anjetik T. Now this is a AI play. This is an AI thing that Fluxpoint Studios has been working on. And they have now integrated in this AI tool as an advisor within the wallet. So now you can go and ask the AI there, which is all tapped into the Cardano ecosystem, has all the data there.

17:31
available and you can use that AI agent to ask, what’s going on with this particular token? Is it a good time to trade, et cetera, et cetera? So this is really cool. So this is definitely something to play around with and get a better understanding how it works, but it will help you along with your trading, give ratings and whatnot to help you determine if you should be buying or selling or

17:58
whatever it is within the Cardano ecosystem. So begin wallet, that’s some really cool integrations there. Now going along with what the FluxPoint Studio guys have been doing, this is a really cool update. This is an integration between the agent and X directly. So now you can actually send and execute transactions on X. So here you can see in this example here, all right, and Jetic, let’s send Decimalus, that’s an ADA handle, 15 ADA from

18:28
another ADA handle, iCapital. So now the agent is executing the transfer of 15 ADA from one wallet to another, smooth as butter, just how we like it. And then it’s confirming the details of it here. Now it’s telling them to sign it in your wallet and game change your wallet. So you click on that, the wallet will appear and then you’d be able to sign that particular transaction. So that is awesome stuff. And then here you can see it on Discord as well. It’s the same similar kind of thing.

18:57
You can see the wallet here for doing that transaction and then it will send that particular transaction afterwards after you’ve signed it. So really cool stuff. It makes things a lot more flexible. You don’t need to find all the details of the wallet addresses. You just type in their AIDA handles and then the X or Discord will pop up and execute that or write the transaction for you and then you can sign and execute it. So really cool stuff there guys.

19:28
And going along the AI side of things, this is an update from Nate from Olympus Insights, and they are creating an AI personal tutor alongside their courses. So you can go through their courses and learn all about crypto trading and everything that’s happening in the Cardano space and get really good at all that stuff as well. But here we have an AI agent that is put into the platform that

19:58
will allow you to ask questions in various different languages and it will answer it for you. So if there’s something in the course that doesn’t make sense, you don’t understand it or you need to explain it different way, you can ask their AI personal tutor to do that for you. Really cool stuff guys. This will make learning for anyone on the platform so much easier. I know that Nate, you’ve been working hard on this platform. I’ve seen like some stats, a lot more people are starting to jump in now earning the

20:28
rewards there from Olympus Insights. So really, really good work there. you know, AI is definitely the future, future of learning. a little bit scared of how it will look and how will come into schools and classrooms and whatnot. But having an extra aid to help you along the way of your learning, really, really cool to see. And having it in the Cardano crypto space is definitely a thing. So check that one out, guys. Check out their OLLI token as well, which is the token that powers their ecosystem.

20:58
Now, if you’re wondering what you can do on the Cardano blockchain, other than trading coins on DEXs and all that, we’ve got two prediction markets. Broyan, which launched, not launched, but started building about maybe two years ago now. They’re almost at the point now where they are launching on Testnet. 30th of April, a couple of days from now, they’ll be launching on Testnet. This is what you can expect. They approved user interface, dark light themes, fast transactions, real time market alerts, liquidity provider features.

21:27
and user market creation up to 10 % of the market matching fees. So this is really good movement for the team there. The testnet V2, I should say, not V1, V2 will be live this Wednesday. So check it out see what they’re up to. You can check out their current testnet, I’m assuming, as well. But this is good to see that we have another prediction market coming online. So this update here is from Bodega Markets and they are working on V3 of their

21:56
platform, their prediction market, and this is tradable shares. So if you put in some bet on a particular market and you needed that liquidity, you need to exit it early. You can. You’ll be able to sell that at a discounted price from what it may be gaining on the market. So let’s say you put something down. You’ve got like a hundred gain on that particular prediction market. You could sell it at a discount for 80. That way you’ll get liquidity straight away.

22:25
And then the other person will pocket that extra 20 ADA when the market actually matures. Kind of like a bond, treasury bond or something like that. You’re not just holding onto it to the end of its maturity before it renews. You can just sell it on the market beforehand at a discount rate or whatever it is. So really, really good stuff to see. Their stats are going quite strongly. They’ve got over a hundred users now and I’m one of them.

22:50
So I’ve been playing around with the Vega markets just to see how it works and trying to make some gains off the platform too. So this is really cool stuff. Do check out these two platforms. At moment I’m really liking what the Vega are up to. Now another platform that I have tried out and this is a brand new safe swaps from Vi Finance. This is OTC Trades, over the counter trades powered by Plutus V3, the very first V3 smart contract on the Cardano ecosystem.

23:19
And this allows you to do a swap or put a swap on market at your set price as a private transaction, which you can then match up with another counterparty. Now let’s say I wanted to trade a hundred ADA directly to you, but at a discounted price, because maybe you’ll give me some extra third party service. Maybe I’m giving you a hundred ADA at discounted price because I can use your API service that you’re using for a discount.

23:48
So whatever deal you’ve come up with there, you can work that out and say, Hey, let’s, let’s do this OTC trade on via finance. So that way we don’t need to sell it on market and, you know, move the market or me send you that asset, that ADA directly. Then you send me the assets, other asset back because you know, there’s that trust aspect. You might just run away with the ADA doing it this way. All smart contracts, all verified on chain. And we don’t need to worry about

24:18
that trust level there. It’s all executed by smart contracts. It’s a trustless. It’s all on chain. So this is the value proposition of these safe swaps. So really cool stuff there guys from Vi-Fi Nets. Big hats off to you guys. Now this is the last ecosystem update I’ll do, but I’ve got some more governance updates coming up. But here at Shaz, he’s at Token 2049 in Dubai at the moment and

24:47
It sounds like it’s buzzing lots of chains, lots of builders, everyone talking about interoperability, innovation, future web three. But where are the Cardano builders? They’re a built Bidler fest, you know, sure. But they should be at these events too. If you’re not in these events front of mind in front of all these other builders within the ecosystem, they’re just going to look at Cardano and say, Hey, there’s nothing happening on Cardano. Just look around you. You can see.

25:17
suey here because a bitcoin builders a theorem builders poly poly um polygon builders there’s no one here from Cardano so we can just from this event assume that no one from Cardano is building anything. And that is something that is is not good and it’s definitely a missed opportunity as shaz here says like we need to be make we need to make sure that we are at these cross chain events a conference with.

25:44
350 plus side events you’d think is a great shot at expanding scope, cross pollinating ideas and locking in integrations. Yes, it is. It really is. So where are all the Cardano people? Why aren’t you there? Well, I can’t afford it. That’s for one. Token 2049 is hugely expensive in Dubai. So it’s not something that I’ll play around with myself. But, you know, if you are a builder, if you do have funding,

26:13
Make sure you go to these events. The next token 2049 is in Singapore later this year. And I really hope people do go. I’m trying to get there myself. I’ll see if I can scramble up the funds so I can get there for a couple of days. I heard it is absolutely phenomenal from the other people that have gone, have been at the event. It doesn’t sound like we’ll get any sort of Cardano booth there unless we get a certain governance proposal approved. But…

26:43
get your asses over there. It’s definitely something you need to be at. We need to spread the word of what Cardano is actually doing. And this is definitely something that is worthwhile. Anyway, Shaz, good work. Spread the word. Keep on building. All right, so let’s go through some governance updates now. I know a lot of people aren’t interested in this one here. I know even from my online polls, it seemed like there was a lot of engagement around it. But looking at the stats on the videos that are specifically governance,

27:13
A lot of you people don’t care about what’s happening in terms of governance on the Cardano ecosystem, but for those that do, tune in. So first off, in my last update, I talked about Jane’s proposal that she put up online that allowed for a new net change limit, the three, the 200 million ADA net change limit. So this will limit the amount of ADA that can go out of the Cardano budget for this year.

27:41
200 million kind of made sense because we only have roughly what seven months left really in reality after all this is all approved to spend that those funds. But you know I voted for the 350 million ADA. Like I said in my last video we don’t need to spend all of it. So I’m going to go through and make sure I’m voting on the correct amount and telling it up to maybe 250 just under 300 million ADA. So I just got to check those numbers. But this year the community did

28:11
did jump in and it looks like the Denogo team put up the funds to put up that particular proposal online. So it cost a deposit of a hundred thousand ADA and you’ll be able to from there put up your governance action, whatever it might be. And this is it here. So it’s online now. If you did want to vote for this one, you can. This is a governance action to have a net change limit of 250 million ADA.

28:39
instead of 350 million ADA. I don’t know if this is too late, but it expires on the 30th of May. So next month, I think that might be way too late to get everything ready. So I really think we need to just push that last net change limit through, which has already expired, by the way. If you didn’t vote, you’re too late. But I’m probably abstained from voting for this one because I already voted for the other one.

29:08
But it’s good to see that community stepped in and there’s enough voices out there that wanted this different net change limit out. And it looks like a lot of people did vote for it here, but not enough really to in terms of amount of ADA. That’s a very low voting power. One person in particular can vote no on this and just wipe out all those votes. But good to see that the community did jump in and try and push their different alternative view through the governance protocol too.

29:38
Now terms of the budget in general, the dates have been updated. So voting will now close on the 5th of May. Thank you for putting this date up and changing it. I had no idea actually what the date was supposed to be. I tried looking on the GovTools website. I tried looking through various posts from Intersect and I could not find a due date for any of this stuff. So I’m thankful that I came across this one because now I know the official updated due date.

30:06
Well, I know the due date could have been yesterday and I would have missed out on voting for anything. I’m still doing my research is way too much to go through. So apologies for anyone that was wondering what I was voting on. I have not done it yet. And if this voting did close yesterday, I would have missed out on voting altogether and I would have failed you guys miserably. But thankfully, this has been updated to the 5th of May and I will be still still be able to vote. I put up more all my voting and rationale.

30:35
Very soon I’ve got the spreadsheet up and running I just got to go through all these small proposals to make sure that the if they need to go through they can and there are some really small protocol ones that I’ve asked for like a hundred K Ada just to update some nodes and libraries that we do need in this space so I’m just want to make sure that they get the funding they need. And this is some of those protocol level things that do need the funding things like lucid mid guard.

31:03
Palace, Dollar, Strastream, UTXO, RPC, Pi, Cardano, Option, Gerolamo, and Amaru. Now all of those names, they’re not DEXs, they’re not DAPs, they don’t have any monetization behind them. These are all transaction libraries. This is an L2 protocol. This is, I don’t know what these are, this is Dollar, this is things from TXPipe, StarStream, I can’t remember what it was now, but I should know.

31:33
PyCadano, this is Python version of Cadano. Option is, I think, TypeScript one. I can’t remember now. And Amaru is the Rust version of Cadano node. None of these things have any sort of business model where they could earn revenue in the future. They won’t be sold. Maybe the Cadano Foundation might pick them up like it did with Aiken and start supporting the developers there and applying resources. Something like that might happen. But the original creators of this would be paying for

any of the development out of their pocket. So I want to make sure these type of projects that are needed on Cardano do get all the funding they need. So this is something that’s really important and I’m keeping an eye on all those ones. So hopefully I don’t miss any. Now Intersect is also having their elections at the moment and unpopular Pellin here, EL did put out a website here. This is a voting tool, which is pretty cool.

election positions in all of these committees. So if you’re interested in that, if you are an intersect member, do check this one out because it is coming up dead to the deadline of voting for that as well.

the links down below for this one. This one here I won’t put behind the paywall on the Learn Cardano website. I’ll put it directly in the show notes so that you guys can get access to it. But guys, that’s all I have for this particular update. I didn’t want to keep it to keep you guys too long in this particular one. Lots of really exciting stuff happening in this space here. And don’t forget about that ecosystem giveaway for the Aiken book here. If I can find the link to it. There it is. Don’t forget to leave your AIDA handle down below. I’ll contact you guys directly.

and I’ll be able to hopefully give you that Redeemer code and hopefully I can get some more of these codes as well and then we can all start learning how to write smart contracts in Aiken. Alright guys, that’s all I’ve got for you. Make sure you hit that thumbs up, like, subscribe, notification bell on your way out and I’ll see you in the next video.
