Cardano – All about Midnight launch date, LayerZero deal, and more…
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, announced key developments for the ecosystem. LayerZero will be integrated into the Cardano blockchain, a move announced at Consensus Hong Kong 2026. This cross-chain protocol, backed by Citadel Securities, is expected to significantly improve Cardano's interoperability and support high-performance financial applications, including the planned launch of USDCx.
Additionally, the privacy-focused partner chain, Midnight, is scheduled for its mainnet launch in the final week of March. It will offer "rational privacy," keeping transactions private by default while allowing users to selectively disclose information. Major companies like Google and Telegram are involved in the initiative.
Following the announcements, ADA's price increased by 4-5%, and the Midnight token (NIGHT) saw a 6-7% intraday gain. The article notes that while past upgrades have driven short-term growth in Total Value Locked (TVL) and user activity, sustaining that growth has been challenging. These new developments align with Cardano's roadmap to expand DeFi, Real-World Assets (RWAs), and institutional readiness.
