Great session with the team yesterday on the Cardano Upgrades proposal — three workstreams that unlock real utility: 1️⃣ Enhanced Account Addresses — semi-Ethereum-like accounts, opening the door to microfees and new use cases 2️⃣ Multi-Asset Treasury — project funding in stable currencies for better budgeting and planning 3️⃣ Babel Fees — bridge to Cardano and transact in your native currency, seamlessly Listen to the full session here 👇 @IOGroup

Babel Fees could bring 2.5M+ additional monthly transactions to Cardano. Pay fees in any token. Lower the barrier. Grow the chain. Vote for Cardano Upgrades 🗳️ iog.io/news/three-cardano-ca… @IOGroup

Most chain upgrades are invisible to users. These three aren't. Cardano Upgrades is adding micro-fee support for wallets and DeFi apps, a mechanism for the treasury to hold stable-value assets, and the ability to pay transaction fees in any native asset. Three new reasons for developers to build here — and for more adoption to follow! @IOGroup Read the plan and vote to make it happen ↓ iog.io/news/three-cardano-ca…

Exactly. For those asking (rightly so) — what about the other attempts at Babel Fees and why is this one in Cardano Upgrades different? It's built on the upcoming (and highly anticipated) new ledger primitive Nested Transactions, which is a game changer. It enables: → Seamless UX → An open, permissionless protocol → Scalability Setting Cardano up for the long term. Setting Cardano up for the long term
Application-layer solutions and protocol-level implementations solve the same problem in very different ways. An application-layer solution proves that something is possible, but it does not guarantee that it is usable, scalable, or widely adoptable. Protocol-level support is about standardization, interoperability, and UX, things that individual dApps cannot solve on their own.

There's a Cardano Upgrades proposal live right now that changes how transaction fees work. New fee models for builders. Multi-asset Treasury options. A pure native-asset experience for users. Here's why it matters and why you should vote YES

1/ What this means for builders: Wallets and apps can build micro fee business models that make sense. Cheaper products can flow through to users, and the account model opens up new products that drive greater adoption!
