  • All of IOHK is on deck for Cardano, with new project management estimates and a Gantt chart that de-risks Shelley, Goguen, Basho and Voltaire delivery.
  • Every major component is now on a fixed release cadence: Adrestia weekly, the Haskell node every two weeks, the incentivized testnet and Daedalus weekly.
18 timestamps 18:48 2020-01-12 UPD 01/12/2020
  • The incentivized testnet launch in mid December was rocky, and the holiday break kept the team from fixing known bugs until now; a network stability patch lands next week and regular release cadence resumes.
  • Mainnet will almost certainly run the Haskell code, built from formal specifications, so the rough edges of the Jormungandr based incentivized testnet will not carry over.

  • Opens the January 3 2020 livestream wishing Bitcoin a happy 11th birthday and predicting a decade of accelerating technology from brain computer interfaces to quantum computing.
  • Sets Cardano's 2020 goals around three pillars, technology, commercialization and incentives, aiming to ship Shelley, Goguen, Hydra and recursive SNARK research this year.
82 timestamps 8:26 2019-12-20 UPD 12/20/2019
  • The Incentivized Testnet launched Friday with installers on Monday, and despite syncing and configuration problems the network has run without a major fork.
  • Participation blew past expectations: 340 registered stake pools instead of the 25 to 50 planned for, possibly a thousand before March.
10 timestamps 4:58 2019-12-13 UPD 12/13/2019
  • The incentivized testnet launch sequence has begun: Jormungandr 0.82 is frozen, stake pool operators should pull it and configure over the weekend, and Daedalus installers land Monday.
  • This is the birth of the Shelley era and the first major milestone toward decentralization, with over 150 stake pools already registered and rewards starting to flow.

  • IOHK is an engineering company and was never built to do marketing, community management, exchange relations or lobbying, yet it has been doing all of it unfunded because the Cardano Foundation under Michael Parsons ignored its mandate.
  • The Foundation is being restored in three phases: a legal and financial cleanup, then building the capabilities it should already have, then diversification into a genuinely community run organization.
20 timestamps 1:01:30 2019-12-05 AMA 12/05/2019
  • The Shelley incentivized testnet is imminent, targeting around December 9th on Jormungandr 0.8 with a new staking rewards model built around a shrinking network deficit.
  • A product and commercial summit reset the 2020 roadmap and pushed IOHK to finally market its research instead of assuming the work speaks for itself.
98 timestamps 55:42 2019-11-29 AMA 11/29/2019
  • The balance snapshot is done, a full data dump of testnet instructions and economic parameters lands December 5th, and the incentivized testnet ships December 9th on a new Jormungandr based client.
  • The incentivized testnet is Shelley in all but name, with peer to peer networking, Ouroboros Genesis, stake pools and delegation, and our infrastructure is decentralized by January.
63 timestamps 51:38 2019-11-21 AMA 11/21/2019
  • Explains the legacy HD wallet balance check bug and its fix, with the incentivized testnet snapshot expected the following week.
  • Announces new hires, the Hydra scaling team's activation under Rob Cohen, and a December Colorado workshop shaping the 2020 roadmap.
59 timestamps 17:16 2019-11-13 AMA 11/13/2019
  • The balance check is optional, runs locally on your own machine against your own copy of the blockchain, and nobody at IOHK ever sees or asks for your keywords.
  • Anyone asking you to type your 12 or 24 keywords into a website, a Telegram DM or a fake Twitter account is trying to steal from you.
19 timestamps 29:52 2019-11-07 AMA 11/07/2019
  • Gives a quick Shelley incentivized testnet update: snapshot tentatively November 12, new Daedalus installers with the Jormungandr wallet backend around November 14.
  • Walks through how existing ADA holders redeem into Shelley via keywords from legacy Daedalus, paper wallets, Yoroi, or hardware wallets, and urges everyone to have keywords ready or rotate credentials before the snapshot.
56 timestamps 1:17:50 2019-11-02 AMA 11/02/2019
  • Recaps the Incentivized Testnet plan: a two snapshot dry run tentatively around November 12, followed by the real airdrop and staking launch
  • Gives a Cardano engineering update covering Jormungandr stabilizing, the Haskell wallet backend nearing completion, a Root9B security audit, and a Byron rewrite ahead of the Shelley Haskell testnet
