Current Daedalus users will soon receive an update alert direct from Daedalus. If you want to give it a spin for the first time, as always, we remind you to download Daedalus only from the official website!

For a great number of Cardano Community members it was the "Cardano Whiteboard Video" that started it all...

On October 27th 2017 Charles Hoskinson posted a, now-legendary, whiteboard walkthrough of his vision for Cardano.

How did you first come to know about Cardano?
What got you excited?
Why did you join the Cardano Community?

We'd love to know! Let us know in the thread below:

Dear Cardano Community. There is a new channel called "Cardano English" which is inviting and/or adding people. Please note that this channel is not affiliated to us and we ask everyone to stay vigilant as things like this often end up being scams.

Dear Cardano Community.

We as the Cardano Ecosystem and their Ambassadors want to warn everybody for the so called pump and dump groups.

While it looks nice from the outside it actually is very dangerous for most of the people. For every person making profits there is at least one person who makes a huge loss.

Aside from that we honestly believe that Cardano is a project which doesn’t need pumps and dumps and if you are looking for quick returns and hype there are likely some other projects which are better for that.

People who advertise these groups will be removed without any prior warning.

Have you checked out the new delegation center in Daedalus 3.2.0 yet?

We've redesigned the delegation interface to show you when any delegation changes you make will kick in. All to make your pool choices easier, more transparent & more flexible 👉 https://bit.ly/3adVx71

The NEXT stop is mainnet, by the end of the month!👍
