We got a #Mithril Signer node running on top of our Preview-testnet pool node! @IOHK_Charles promised us light clients and wallets. Well, i can now tell you that everything is coming together nicely with the help of 3 different kinds of #mithril nodes.

8 weeks post mainnet, @MidnightNtwrk has 178 monthly active developers on @ElectricCapital's Dev Report, ahead of fellow privacy chains Aztec, Zama, Mina, & Aleo Still early days, plenty of work ahead, but the velocity is real! Thank you to everyone building🚀 developerreport.com/ecosyste…

一部の日本のdRepが私たちの研究提案に反対票を投じたことに、深い悲しみを覚えています。 もしこの提案が可決されなければ、カルダノ（Cardano）はその科学者たちを失い、私たちのラボは閉鎖に追い込まれるということを、日本のコミュニティ全体に再認識していただきたいと考えています。私たちは10年以上の歳月をかけて努力と成長を積み重ね、暗号資産分野において世界最強の研究グループを築き上げてきました。 一部の断片的な資金援助だけで、この成果をバラバラに崩壊させるわけにはいきません。私たちの科学者たちは、より確実性と敬意のある場所へと去ってしまうでしょう。 どうか、カルダノの研究アジェンダを支持するdRepへの委任をお願いいたします。

If your blockchain is not post-quantum by 2029, Google thinks your timeline is too slow Nightstream is a post-quantum zkVM (on lattices) as a public good to help survive and thrive with this reality Teams/clients that need to tackle this: please reach out

The legend Michael Fazio casually dropped a cardano-node implementation written in rust 🔥 Holy sh*t 😀 github.com/michaeljfazio/tor…

Vera Report is built on: 1. Zero-knowledge proofs (@midnightfdn / @MidnightNtwrk ) 2. Confidential compute (AlphaTON infrastructure) 3. @telegram - 1B users, 190 countries Fraud is global. This scales globally. Details in 🧵 Nasdaq: $ATON 💎🚀🎯 @OwnYourDataNow #whistleblower #quitam #confidentialai #DOGE

Wow. The official Circle Docs actually have a step-by-step tutorial for how to build the USDC -> USDCx on Cardano bridge yourself. Anyone can integrate this now into their applications. Very very positively surprised.

USDCx on @Cardano, a USDC-backed stablecoin with seamless access to crosschain USDC liquidity, is now available via Circle xReserve. With USDCx, enterprises and end users can power payments, lending, trading, borrowing, liquidity provision, and more using a highly liquid stablecoin. Supported at launch by Cardano DeFi apps @liqwidfinance, @MinswapDEX, and @SundaeSwap. Key benefits: ✅USDCx is 1:1 backed by USDC held in xReserve ✅Fully interoperable with USDC across supported chains ✅Trust minimized with no third-party bridges required **For the first 10 days, IOG will be covering all costs for bridging USDC to USDCx on Cardano, helping early adopters get started without fees or friction.** Learn more: circle.com/blog/usdcx-on-car…

USDCx on Cardano, now live on SundaeSwap! Official Asset ID is: 1f3aec8bfe7ea4fe14c5f121e2a92e301afe414147860d557cac7e34.5553444378

The new $USDCx stablecoin will unlock something Cardano has been missing and it’s hugely valuable for the ecosystem’s economy. If you want to generate yield right now on existing Cardano stablecoins (USDA, USDM, or DJED), you need to account for the elephant in the room: the cost of getting in and out of stablecoins. For 99% of users, getting a stablecoin starts with swapping from ADA. Between DEX fees, potential depegs, and low-liquidity pools, acquiring a large amount can cost real time (DCA) and real money. For example, on DexHunter, swapping $100k into USDM can cost ~5% in slippage/fees. The larger the amount, the worse it gets. Round trip (in and out), you’re talking 10% in losses on a $100k “stablecoin investment” before you’ve even earned $1 of yield. If you’re down 10% on entry/exit, it doesn’t matter if you can earn 7% on lending in a year. This makes it financially unattractive for most users and keeps Cardano stablecoin liquidity extremely low, because people can’t acquire stablecoins at a competitive price (e.g., <0.1% effective swap cost). With a native bridge that lets you swap 1 $USDC for 1 $USDCx, everything changes. You don’t need deep Cardano DEX liquidity just to start earning yield on Cardano DeFi. You can buy $USDC on a top CEX at the most competitive price, bridge it 1:1 to Cardano as $USDCx, and deploy it immediately. That unlocks access to stablecoin strategies that can generate 5–10% APY on Cardano DeFi protocols like lending, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see 12–20% if demand is strong. If people are willing to pay 5–10% APY on ADA loans, they’ll likely pay a large premium for USD loans. I can’t wait to see the ecosystem expand with this new offering, and I definitely can’t wait to borrow $USDCx using my $SNEK as collateral.

"Rome wasn't built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour." This is the case for Ouroboros Leios, a major Cardano upgrade that has been in development for more than 2 years. So far, the Leios team has delivered: - 679,138 lines of code - 3,140 GitHub commits - Around‑the‑clock work from 35 global contributors When Leios switches on, it’s set to boost Cardano’s throughput by 30–50x, targeting roughly 100–1,000 transactions per second. This means near‑instant settlement and massive scalability without sacrificing decentralization. This simulation video isn’t sped up. It shows transactions moving across the network in real time. Years of R&D are about to make Cardano ready for global scale.

🛡️Online privacy is the condition for digital freedom. That’s why we’re working with Midnight Network to ensure that their protections for private payments and private smart contracts extend to the network level. 🔑Today, we’re excited to announce that NymVPN now accepts payments in ADA @Cardano as a first step. nym.com/blog/ada-cardano-nym…

Midnight 🤝 MoneyGram The network of federated node operators continues to grow as the Midnight Network moves toward mainnet. 🚀 Operating in 200 countries and territories, MoneyGram joins as an initial federated node operator — helping explore how global payment networks can move on-chain while preserving privacy, compliance, and operational trust from day one. As a leader in cross-border digital P2P payments, MoneyGram brings real-world payments expertise to Midnight’s launch infrastructure — strengthening stable early mainnet operations. Together, Midnight and MoneyGram will explore how established payment networks can modernize onto blockchain rails through confidential transactions, where settlement acts as verifiable proof of compliance — without exposing sensitive user data. Privacy. Compliance. Real-world scale. Mainnet momentum continues. 🔥

Running blockchain nodes is part of how we build real-world crypto infrastructure. MoneyGram will be a founding federated node operator for @MidnightNtwrk, alongside @web3pairpoint by Vodafone and @eToro. Read the full press release: midnight.network/blog/expand…

JUST IN: USDCx stablecoin seems to have been officially minted on Cardano 🔥 Likely the teams have moved to mainnet testing, as the integration is expected to go live by the end of the month. What an amazing milestone for Cardano.

"Cardano supports BikeID’s long-term trust. BikeID helps Cardano grow into everyday life." Must read ⬇️ Bikes stay in circulation for years. Ownership changes. Repairs happen. Resale happens. If that identity record is stored in a normal database, it can be edited, deleted, or disappear when companies change. Cardano gives BikeID a neutral and permanent foundation where key proofs can be verified by anyone. At the same time, BikeID can help Cardano in a big way. BikeID brings real-world assets into the ecosystem bikes that are produced, sold, serviced, and transferred every day. That creates real usage, real transactions, and real adoption driven by normal people and real businesses, not speculation.

Prove you're over 18 without showing your ID. Send money without exposing your balance. Stay compliant without giving up your data. That's what Midnight gives you. Launching end of March. Watch the full keynote youtube.com/watch?v=AeH3Vn-6…
