Episode #8
<p>Almost every time you sign a transaction on Cardano, this parameter quietly goes to work. In this episode, we break down the min_fee_a parameter — the variable component of Cardano’s transaction fee formula that...
<p>Ever notice your wallet asking for more ADA than the actual transaction fee? You’re not actually being charged extra.... so what is it? In this episode, let's check out collateral_percent, the parameter that requires...
<p>Wait… what? </p><p>On Cardano, most of the logic behind “smart contracts” actually runs off-chain. Let's learn about price_mem , the parameter that prices working memory, and see how smaller on-chain scripts lead to...
<p>Every smart contract action has a defined computational cost. Learn how price_step works with the Plutus cost model to price processing power and protect the network from abuse.</p>
Episode #29
<p>Every 20 seconds, Cardano produces a new block—but space is limited. This episode explains max_block_size, the parameter that caps how much data fits in each block and shapes transaction speed, congestion, and...
<p>Why does every Cardano transaction pay the same baseline fee? This episode explains min_fee_b, the fixed portion of Cardano’s fee formula that helps prevent spam, keep fees predictable, and support staking rewards...
<p>On Cardano, every transaction gets workspace—but no one gets the whole kitchen. This episode explores max_tx_ex_mem and how memory limits keep smart contracts running smoothly side by side.</p>
<p>Smart contracts can be powerful—but they can’t be unlimited. We break down Cardano’s cost_model parameter and how it prices and caps computation so one transaction can’t slow down the whole chain.</p>
<p>How much should a stake pool operator’s own ada really matter? This episode explores A₀, the parameter behind pool pledge influence, and the ongoing debate between financial commitment and social visibility in...
<p>Major upgrades get attention, but minor ones keep the lights on. Listen in for a peaceful peek at Cardano’s protocol minor parameter. We'll learn why incremental improvements, careful tuning, and low-drama upgrades...
Episode #24
<p>What if your daily decisions had a brainpower cap? On Cardano, smart contracts actually do. This episode explains max_tx_ex_steps, the per-transaction computation limit that keeps the network fair, fast, and...
<p>Blocks don’t just store data—they can think. At least, as much as Cardano lets them. Let's learn about max_block_ex_steps, the parameter that sets a block’s total computation budget—its “brainpower.”</p><p>We talk...
<p>In Cardano’s new on-chain governance system, you can delegate your voice to a DRep—your Decentralized Representative. But what happens if your chosen rep stops showing up? </p><p>In this episode we learn about the...
Episode #21
<p>Why do some Cardano smart contract transactions have to “wait for the next block”? Meet max_block_ex_mem—the quiet parameter acting like a gate agent at the airport, making sure no single script overloads the...
<p>Why does your wallet insist on holding a little extra ADA you can’t actually send? Tune in to learn about min_utxo_value: the little parameter that keeps Cardano clean & efficient.</p><p>Learn how this rule prevents...
<p>How decentralized should Cardano be? More pools sounds better… until it isn’t. In this episode, we're thinking about the Optimal_pool_count parameter - otherwise known as the K Parameter. It's the tiny letter that...
<p>What if a money system couldn’t print more money—ever? No bailouts, no late-night policy shifts, no surprise inflation. In this episode, learn about one of Cardano’s fundamental design choices: the...
<p>Want to propose a change to Cardano? That’ll be 100,000 ada, please. </p><p>Let's talk about the governance action deposit—the hefty but refundable fee that puts some skin in the game for anyone submitting a...
<p>In the age of Voltaire and on-chain governance, how will Cardano keeps its proposals from turning into a bureaucratic junk drawer? In this episode, we'll explain the gov_action_lifetime parameter. It puts a time...
<p>You’ve been faithfully staking your Ada — but what if it’s snoozing instead of stacking rewards? In this episode, we talk about the max_epoch parameter -- the Cardano setting that quietly governs the timeline for...
