Biggest Players Unite Behind 70M ADA Push to Spark On-Chain Growth

Biggest Players Unite Behind 70M ADA Push to Spark On-Chain Growth

The post Biggest Players Unite Behind 70M ADA Push to Spark On-Chain Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Cardano network’s core developing teams have pushed through a 70 million ADA treasury withdrawal to fund a slate of long-delayed infrastructure integrations, a move that represents the most coordinated ecosystem action the network has seen in years. ADA is higher by 9% over the past 24 hours, modestly outpacing a broader crypto market surge. The proposal — backed by various teams such as Input Output, the Cardano Foundation, EMURGO, Intersect, and the Midnight Foundation — cleared a governance vote with more than 60% support from delegated representatives, making it the fastest approval since Cardano’s on-chain voting system went live. Funds will be put into developing stablecoins, credible oracle feeds, cross-chain bridges, custody integrations, and analytics tooling, among other improvements to benefit the Cardano ecosystem. For years, Cardano builders have complained that the absence of these primitives has placed a ceiling on DeFi activity and prevented the network from keeping pace with liquidity and application growth on rival chains. Despite Cardano’s sizable treasury and multi-billion-dollar market cap, developers have repeatedly been forced to build around missing pieces or rely on limited third-party support. “This is about putting aside historic differences and coming together for the greater good of the ecosystem,” Hoskinson, in a release shared with CoinDesk, said. “By focusing our resources on these five areas, we are addressing fundamental challenges that are impeding Cardano’s growth in one decisive move, laying the groundwork for a broader, more robust ecosystem that can support everything from core DeFi to DePIN and RWA,” he said. The Cardano Foundation framed the vote as a sign that governance can coordinate large-scale spending when necessary, while EMURGO described the integrations as prerequisites for institutional adoption, a claim that the network has made for years but struggled to deliver on due to certain infrastructure gaps. Intersect, which…

The New Gold Rush of AI

The New Gold Rush of AI

The post The New Gold Rush of AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In the past decade, artificial intelligence has grown by primarily feeding on the same resource: public web data. Texts, images, documents, forums, news, blogs, repositories… an enormous amount of material that models have absorbed to build their language and cognitive abilities. But this phase is about to end. According to projections cited by Messari, the total amount of public text available for model training—approximately 300 trillion tokens—could be completely exhausted between 2026 and 2032. This means that large models have “eaten the internet,” and now they need something else. The next frontier for AI will no longer be the web: it will be the real world. And this is where the concept of frontier data comes into play, the resource that will define the competitiveness of future models. Video, audio, sensory, motor, robotic data, action data, data generated from interaction with the physical world or complex digital interfaces. Data that cannot simply be downloaded: they must be collected, coordinated, verified, and, above all, incentivized. For this reason, the blockchain is not a detail or a marginal addition: it is the infrastructure that enables the orchestration of this new data economy. The End of “Web Scraping” and the Beginning of High-Value Data The most advanced models of 2025—not only linguistic but also multimodal, agentic, and reasoning-oriented—no longer improve with the mere addition of generic textual datasets. They require something much more specific and much more expensive to collect: data that reflects actions, intentions, movement, interaction, manipulation, context. This is the case, for example, with computer-use agents, AI capable of interacting directly with the computer as a human would. To train these systems, textual descriptions are not enough: “trajectories” are needed, which are actual recordings of people performing tasks on the screen. A protocol like Chakra, mentioned in the report, has developed…
