Midnight

Secret

Star Wars

<p>One of Cardano’s unique features is its sense of innovation. Its statistics prove it. Since its inception, Cardano has established itself as an essential platform, at the forefront of blockchain technology. The latest revelation? The rapid advancement of Midnight, its privacy-focused sidechain project, which speaks volumes about its future ambitions.</p> 
<h2 id="h-cardano-and-midnight-relentless-innovation">Cardano and Midnight: relentless innovation</h2> 
<p>Under the leadership of Charles Hoskinson, Cardano continues to move forward with Midnight, the solution that <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/midnight-cardano-booste-la-securite-des-donnees/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">boosts data security</a>. This <strong>sidechain project</strong>, dedicated to <strong>data protection and privacy</strong>, seems poised to revolutionize the crypto world. Recently, <a href="https://x.com/stevanlohja/status/1838676020368654517?t=CJgO6dEbQcwHQ7ClI9WYlQ&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stevan Lohja</a>, a developer at Input Output (IOHK), posted an image on X showing technical processes related to Midnight, including “block syncing” and “validation of operations.” </p>

<p>This technical progress is not insignificant:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li>Real-time block syncing;</li> 
 <li>Ongoing startup sessions;</li> 
 <li>Stable network approaching.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>Hoskinson reacted to this advance with humor, posting <a href="https://x.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1838743909599695008" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a Star Wars meme</a>: “<em>Everything is going exactly as I had foreseen.</em>“</p> 
<p>This relaxed touch does not erase the issue: <strong>Midnight is on the right track</strong>, and the Cardano community, the issuer of the ADA crypto, remains on the lookout.</p>

<p>Midnight does not just advance in the shadows; it promises to <strong>reconcile privacy and regulatory compliance</strong> thanks to <strong>zero-knowledge cryptography (ZK)</strong>.</p> 
<p>This sidechain, <strong>powered by the NIGHT and DUST tokens</strong>, is poised to offer private transactions without compromising transparency, a bold challenge in the crypto ecosystem. NIGHT will serve for network governance and utility, while DUST will act as the gas token.</p>

<p>The <strong>“Nightpaper”, a white paper </strong>recently published, outlines the project’s technical ambitions and future steps. With <strong>Midnight’s testnet soon to be operational</strong>, users will finally be able to explore this secure environment.</p> 
<p>The next step? A large-scale public test, allowing the promises of this innovative infrastructure to be validated.</p> 
<p>Interestingly, by <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/cardano-hoskinson-rejects-the-burning-of-ada-cryptocurrencies/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">refusing the burn of ADA cryptos</a>, Charles Hoskinson surprises the Cardano community, a surprising choice as this process would boost the asset’s scarcity and value.</p>
