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, Cardano is a global, permissionless blockchain governed by ADA holders and backed by a $1.3 billion treasury, highlighting potential scale for ecosystem funding; source: @ItsDave_ADA on X (Sep 27, 2025). Cardano’s treasury is protocol-based, funded by fees and monetary expansion, with allocations decided through community voting processes involving ADA holders (e.g., Project Catalyst), making governance cycles and treasury disbursements transparent on-chain; source: Input Output Global (IOG) documentation; Cardano Foundation materials. For trading relevance, governance proposals, voting windows, and treasury disbursement announcements represent concrete events that schedule funding flows to projects across the Cardano ecosystem, providing time-specific signals to monitor network activity and potential liquidity shifts in ADA pairs; source: Input Output Global (IOG) governance and treasury documentation.

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, there is under a day left to register for Catalyst Fund 14 voting, signaling an imminent cutoff for governance participation in the ADA ecosystem. source: https://twitter.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1965881421840695788 Dave’s post reiterates the urgency for Catalyst Fund 14 voter registration by linking directly to the reminder, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of the deadline. source: https://x.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1965050946511089721
