Just saw some of your work. Let's chat. Very impressive stuff
@theoremlabs
Midnight is fighting for individual freedom. 💪
The Freedom Fighters series is a powerful reminder of what is at stake. All four episodes can be watched in less than 30 minutes. Well worth watching! 👀
Freedom is the sum of many things. Freedom of association, commerce and expression are values I strongly believe in and want to help protect.
Among many other things, Midnight has the potential to become the VPN for DeFi, enabling users across major blockchain ecosystems to break the publicly traceable link between their wallets and personal identities, while preserving the ability to demonstrate compliance through selective disclosure.
Self-custody, open-source, decentralized and permissionless blockchains infused with programmable privacy can have a real, positive impact on protecting and strengthening individual freedom. 💎
That is why I am proud to be a Nightforce Leader and can't wait to help decentralize Midnight Mainnet early next year as an independent validator, just as I have been helping decentralize Cardano for years. 🫡
What happens when a government turns money, communication, and technology into tools of control? 👀
@leopoldolopez has lived through it and fought to defend democracy.
Today, at 2PM GMT, hear his story in Freedom Fighters, a four-part series on the fight for freedom and the decentralized technology that could help protect it.

🇪🇺 JUST IN: Cardano Foundation urges the EU against expanding MiCA to DeFi and staking, calling for rules based on financial risks rather than technology.
If you have assets on the Genius Yield platform, check out this guide on how to withdraw those assets

More regulation doesn’t mean better regulation.
We just released a response to the EU’s MiCA review consultation, where we call for greater regulatory clarity and to improve the existing framework rather than expanding it.

JUST IN: 100,000 farm lands in India are now registered on the Cardano blockchain.
This marks a milestone for 5am.earth’s agricultural trust layer, bringing farm data on-chain to support more verifiable, reusable records across the ecosystem.

Big step toward making privacy-preserving apps easier to access. 👏
Welcome to @MidnightNtwrk, @dynamic_xyz 🤝
Midnight 🤝 @dynamic_xyz, a @FireblocksHQ company
Dynamic has integrated Midnight across its non-custodial wallet infrastructure, making it easier to access Midnight apps through embedded wallets created with email or social login.
With “Login with Midnight” and support for external Midnight wallets, users can go from an email address to a shielded transaction without installing additional software.
And this is for the wider ecosystem, not just @midnightfdn projects. Teams already using Dynamic across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Stellar, Sui, TON and Aleo can add Midnight through their existing integration. Dynamic will maintain support as the network evolves, with documentation, tooling and implementation guides for builders.
Midnight is the first privacy-preserving blockchain supported by Dynamic, and early-stage projects can access Dynamic free for up to 10,000 monthly active users. 👏
Easier ways to build.
Fewer barriers to access.
Privacy built into the experience.

Earlier this year, the SEC classified $ADA as a digital commodity, not a security.
However, this classification only appears in the explanation of the new crypto rules, not in the rules themselves.
Six blockchain organizations have asked the SEC to write it into the rules. We co-signed the letter, alongside @StellarOrg, @Hedera, @AptosLabs, @AvaLabs and @Chainlink.

Welcome to Midnight, Tron @justinsuntron
INSIGHT: Midnight's Nightmode is "bringing privacy to TRON and anyone doing payments on TRON in December of this year. It's private, and more importantly, it's compliant. You can use industry-standard screening tools that centralized exchanges use," according to Sig Network CEO.

CIP-23 (minPoolMargin) will be implemented in full for the upcoming Dijkstra Hard Fork!
Huge appreciation to @ATADA_Stakepool and the SPOs who pushed for this, and to the members of the @IOGroup ledger team who are doing the implementation work for FREE
🔥🔥🔥

Last year, we brought the Glacier Drop to Singapore.
This year, we brought the Midnight roadmap to life through product demos and a vision for practical privacy onchain.
3 SOLD OUT side events.
Keynote moments.
Midnight Passport, Collateral Warehouse, Offer Files, Nightmode, and @MidnightCitySim.
Thank you,@token2049, for an unforgettable week. 🇸🇬

currently in conversations with heads of departments to bring minMargin with PV12 so we can get rid of minPoolCost.

This concept resolves nearly every criticism I have heard about the limitations of the range of applications that are suitable to benefit from leveraging blockchains.
The total addressable market is about to get a whole lot bigger.

Is my Ledger safe, or is there a spy implant in it?
Detecting a spy implant without cracking your device open is possible. I'm working on a device to make it cheap and easy, and will publish the PCB and specs so anyone will be able to build it.

I'm actually personally developing a programming language for Cardano. It's the first of its kind, enabling intents and PCD via Groth16 proofs. @rvcas is building it with me

Your reminder to stay vigilant across the ecosystem. 👀
In 2025, crypto scams and fraud accounted for an estimated $17B, according to Chainalysis.
DYOR. Verify projects, teams, and websites through trusted sources.
Watch for misleading claims, impersonation, and suspicious requests for funds or sensitive information.
When in doubt, pause and verify.

I'm working on a concept that only midnight can bring to the cryptocurrency space that solves most of the problems. Almost have all of it designed conceptually. It's the magnum opus of my career

The Parameter Committee is running the first of its kind Public RFP (Request for Proposal) for Cardano Research!
...and YOU can apply, including setting your own price.
We are looking for a researcher (team) who can answer the question on HOW LOW we can go on the utxoCostPerByte (minUTXO) parameter under current and planned protocol rules.
Expected deliverables for the work:
- An assessment of the lowest technically and economically sustainable utxoCostPerByte value.
- Analysis of the risks, trade-offs, and limitations associated with reducing the parameter, including economic and/or security concerns where relevant.
- Analysis of the impact of not reducing the parameter.
- Evidence-based recommendations, including potential safeguards or mitigation measures.
Expected content of the application:
- Description of your research approach and methodology.
- Your experience.
- Your estimated time of completion.
- Fixed-price quotation in ada.
Apply here: tinyurl.com/utxoCPB-RFP
Deadline: 4th of November
Ask questions here, in my DMs, or on the Forum post for the RFP: forum.cardano.org/t/public-r…

Making privacy practical takes more than a vision. It takes a roadmap.
