According to @ItsDave_ADA on X on Sep 27, 2025 via https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1971520769717846429 and https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1972042525574590786, Cardano’s .NET ecosystem historically lacked open-source tooling, making even basic transaction access difficult for new developers. According to @ItsDave_ADA on X on Sep 27, 2025 via https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1971520769717846429, he built OgmiosDotnet, a plug-and-play .NET package for Cardano that is nearing 3,000 downloads, highlighting concrete demand for .NET tooling on the network. According to @ItsDave_ADA on X on Sep 27, 2025 via https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1971520769717846429, he notes parallel contributions from builders like @saibdev and collaboration with .NET developer @clarkalesna to bridge gaps in accessibility. According to @ItsDave_ADA on X on Sep 27, 2025 via https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1971520769717846429, he urges support for Project Catalyst proposals to fund critical tooling and make Cardano powerful, accessible, and developer friendly across major languages, which he states is key to attracting new talent and growing the ecosystem.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, his open-sourced Cardano developer tooling proposals have received 76 votes so far. Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 24, 2025. He thanked supporters and asked those who have not voted to support so he can continue building on Cardano and expand developer tooling in programming languages like .NET.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, voting for Cardano’s Project Catalyst Fund 14 opens today at 12:00 UTC, marking a scheduled governance event for the ADA ecosystem. According to projectcatalyst.io, the author is seeking votes on two developer tooling proposals focused on Ogmios: Ogmios.NET Cardano blockchain events and visualization, and Ogmios.NET blockchain queries and transaction submission, both listed under the Cardano Open Developers track. According to @ItsDave_ADA, voters can find these proposals by searching for Ogmios in the Catalyst app.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, the top 10 programming languages used by developers in 2025 are JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Bash/Shell, Java, C#, C++, PHP, Go, and C, source: @ItsDave_ADA. The top 10 frameworks in 2025 are Node.js, React, jQuery, Next.js, Express, ASP.NET-Core, Angular, Vue.js, FastAPI, and Spring Boot, source: @ItsDave_ADA. Over the past two years, Cardano’s developer tooling and support have progressed significantly, but important gaps remain, source: @ItsDave_ADA. In many of these languages and frameworks, starter projects are not yet available for core tasks such as building Cardano transactions, syncing the chain, and querying ledger state, source: @ItsDave_ADA. Addressing these gaps is described as key to broader developer adoption and ensuring Cardano is easily accessible, highlighting a priority focus for the ADA ecosystem, source: @ItsDave_ADA.

According to dYdX Foundation, the dYdX Grants program awarded Nethermind two complementary grants in April and June 2025 focused on API Docs & Client Upgrades and Rust and Python Client Support to raise the standard of developer tooling on dYdX, with the initiatives delivering dedicated API documentation (Source: dYdX Foundation on X, Aug 27, 2025). For trading teams active on dYdX and the DYDX token, this announcement confirms funded workstreams specifically around API documentation and client support that define connectivity surfaces traders depend on, so teams should track official releases from dYdX Foundation and Nethermind for implementation timelines and integration details before adjusting execution setups (Source: dYdX Foundation on X, Aug 27, 2025).

According to @ItsDave_ADA, he is exploring taking OgmiosDotnetClient to an enterprise-grade, feature-rich Cardano Ogmios client aimed at delivering powerful, scalable tooling for the .NET ecosystem, which signals a focus on developer infrastructure within the ADA ecosystem.
