Blockchain is our chance to rewrite the rules of technology. But if we can’t define the problems, we can’t solve them. As @sol3gga, chief scientist at IO, reminded us:. Clear problem statements = real progress. Learn more from his recent presentation at SBC 2025👇.

EDUCATION: The education team needs your feedback on the launch of the ‘Mastering Cardano’ e-book. And for anyone attending the Wyoming Blockchain Stampede, the education team will be hosting a two-day in-person Cardano Days event.

Financial innovation doesn’t just happen on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley. Every state has a role to play. Find out how all 50 states are engaging with blockchain ↓.

We need to change from "My Chain vs. Yours" to "Chains that work together". The PartnerChain model at IO could turn Cardano into the coordination layer for the next era of modular, interoperable blockchain networks.

‘Multichain Future: Unique Protocol Use Cases’ panel discussion featuring Michael Steuer, Sunny Lu, Denelle Dixon, and Dan Singleman, with Jacquelyn Melinek as the moderator: .

‘Bringing Rational Privacy to Blockchain’ with @IOHK_Charles and @jj_siler: .

We’re bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 - privacy, interoperability, connective tissue, and the ability to unlock new collateralization. These are just some of the topics discussed at today’s Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, co-hosted by @SALTConference x @krakenfx. Missed.

Watch now:

The future of finance isn’t TradFi vs DeFi. It’s Rational Privacy + Cooperative Economics + Selective Disclosure. That’s how we get to Fi. Missed @IOHK_Charles' fireside chat with @jj_siler? The livestream is still going, but we’ll share more once the event wraps later today.

Always curious and full of energy, Beagles turn every walk into an adventure 🐾🎉.

Blockchains don’t live in silos. The real progress is in the connective tissue—interoperability, identity standards, and reputational frameworks—that bind them together. Dan Singleman is on stage now at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, co-hosted by @SALTConference x @krakenfx.

Immediately following that panel, @IOHK_Charles will join @SteveLupien at 2:05 PM MDT for a conversation on “Bringing Rational Privacy to Blockchain” to discuss how rational privacy, interoperability, and human-first systems can redefine global finance.

The panel will unpack how interoperability and thoughtful system design can create markets that are fair, inclusive, and built to last, bridging innovation across ecosystems for real-world impact.

First up, Dan Singleman, CIO of the Hoskinson Family Office, joins @sunshinelu24, @mssteuer, and @DenelleDixon on the main stage at 1:30 PM MDT to explore Multichain Future: Unique Use Cases.

Today @IOHK_Charles and Dan Singleman will take the stage at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, co-hosted by @SALTConference x @krakenfx. Tune into the stream: 🧵.

@IOHK_Charles @RareEvo Also joining: @jony_altszul, CEO of @FairGateLabs, helping expand Bitcoin’s role in DeFi. Tune in tomorrow for a great conversation!
