We present an "ultimate" proof of Cardy's formula for the critical percolation on the hexagonal lattice \citeSmirnov01criticalpercolation, showing the existence of the universal and conformally invariant scaling limit of crossing probabilities. The new approach is more conceptual, less technically demanding, and is amenable to generalizations.
