Cardano Meetup Ho Chi Minh #6 – 23/03/2025 – Recap

Event Information

Cardano Meetup Ho Chi Minh #6 was held on Sunday morning, March 23, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.

Although the number of attendees was modest, the meetup still took place as planned, with full content delivered. Everyone present showed a genuine interest in learning more about Cardano and was actively engaged in discussion.


Main Topics of the Meetup

:one: Ecosystem Updates & Cardano Vision

Mr. Sang Nguyen from VCoinCheck shared a summary of recent updates from the Cardano ecosystem.
He also talked about Cardano’s long-term direction and how current developments are aligned with the broader mission.



:two: Understanding Cardano Budget 2025

Ha Nguyen introduced the structure of Cardano’s 2025 budget, focusing on:

  • What the Net Change Limit means and why it matters
  • The funding categories currently being prioritized
  • The process for reviewing proposals and how the community can get involved

Many participants were interested in how governance and budgeting actually work on-chain, and how individuals or teams from Vietnam could participate.


:three: Governance on Cardano

The session also included a brief overview of how governance is being implemented, including the role of DReps and how ADA holders can delegate and vote.
This led to several follow-up questions and comparisons with other blockchain governance models.

:four: Token Creation on Cardano

To wrap up the session, the group went over how to issue native tokens on Cardano, including tools that don’t require smart contracts.
A few attendees said they planned to try creating test tokens after the session.


Q&A Highlights

The group had an open and focused discussion. Some of the questions included:

  • How can a small local team submit a proposal to receive funding from the Cardano treasury?
  • What if the budget doesn’t approve certain categories like DRep rewards—how does that affect the system?
  • How is the Net Change Limit determined each year?
  • Can we track how much has been spent from the treasury and on what?
  • What kind of proposals get funded most often—community building, dev tools, education?
  • Can anyone issue tokens, or is there a formal process or registry?

Community Atmosphere

Even though it was a smaller meetup, the atmosphere was serious, focused, and collaborative.
Everyone had space to ask questions, share their thoughts, and get direct feedback. Some attendees mentioned they appreciated the in-person format, as it helped them better understand topics they found confusing online.
