Here’s a recap from this episode where we talked about Cardano governance, interoperability, liquidity, NFTs and Catalyst funding.
We interviewed:
@GuestA & @GuestB – (Speakers’ handles here) They walked us through their project’s mission, the open-source infrastructure they’re building, and how they see the Cardano ecosystem evolving across governance, bridges, and token models.
Governance & Proposals – The team discussed how governance on Cardano is shifting from purely “token-weight” to more “value-creation” oriented: projects that deliver liquidity, interoperability and on-chain activity will increasingly hold sway. They highlighted the importance of bridging UTXO and EVM models for faster, cheaper, high-liquidity flows.
Liquidity & Interoperability – Key focus was on liquidity fragmentation and the role of cross-chain bridges: locking native assets on Cardano and enabling wrapped assets in EVM environments to tap wider DeFi ecosystems. Tokenomics were discussed: more than 50 % of tokens directed toward community incentives, liquidity, and venture partnerships — aligning incentives for growth rather than pure speculation.
NFT Trends – The guests reflected on the NFT market on Cardano, noting a milestone of accepting offers on collections (e.g., 5–8 ADA range) after one year. They pointed out that while market hype is lower compared to meme-coins, NFTs have a lower barrier to entry and growing utility: governance access, fractionalised real-world assets, cross-chain marketplaces and integrated DeFi utilities.
