    Cardano Founder Explains Why Some ADA Holders Can't Yet Get Glacier Airdrop

    A software limitation in Ledger hardware wallets is preventing some Cardano users from participating in the Midnight Foundation’s Glacier Drop, a two-month-long airdrop distributing NIGHT tokens across eight blockchain ecosystems. The issue stems from the handling of message signing for Cardano. In a post on X, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson explained that the Ledger’s implementation of CIP-8—a protocol for securely signing messages—limits messages to just 31 bytes. The Glacier Drop is 251...

    Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson launched a blistering attack on the U.S. Securities and  Exchange Commission (SEC) in a recent livestream, accusing it of giving Bitcoin a “complete pass” over the question of whether it’s sufficiently decentralized to not be considered a security. “If you subpoena and attack about three different entities, you could perform a 51% attack on Bitcoin because that's the way the hash power works,” Hoskinson said. “But it's decentralized, apparently.

    Cardano Blockchain Moves Forward With Vasil Upgrade

    The five-day Cardano Vasil hard fork process begins today, which the Cardano Foundation says will improve network performance. Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson has described it as the hardest update the developers have done since the project launched in 2017.  A hard fork occurs when a network's code fundamentally changes and requires the creation of a new and separate version of a blockchain. They can be, but aren't always, contentious. For example, a hard fork occurred on the Ethereum netw...
