Here’s a recap from this episode where we talked about Cardano governance, interoperability, liquidity, NFTs, and Catalyst funding.
We interviewed:
@PairwiseVote and @lava_protocol – They shared insights on evolving DAO governance models and cross-chain collaboration. The discussion touched on liquidity-staking as a voting mechanism and the importance of tying governance rights to real protocol activity.
Interoperability & Liquidity – The guests discussed new open-source bridges designed to link Cardano’s UTXO security with EVM-level speed and liquidity. They emphasized the need for unified standards to reduce fragmentation and increase cross-chain asset flow.
Catalyst & Community Funding – Highlights from the latest funding rounds showed a shift toward impact-based metrics — rewarding teams driving measurable usage, liquidity, and governance participation.
NFT Ecosystem – Reflections on the evolving NFT scene on Cardano, marking one year since secondary market expansion. The speakers noted growing utility use-cases such as DAO access and fractionalized ownership, while challenges in liquidity and visibility persist.
