Cardano Founder Hoskinson Says Midnight Mainnet Is Now Live

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced the mainnet launch of Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain within the Cardano ecosystem. The network, which has already produced over 163,000 blocks, is currently in a controlled "guarded era" with federated node operators ensuring stability. It features programmable privacy through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing selective data sharing. The ecosystem uses a dual-token model: NIGHT for governance and DUST for renewable transaction fees. Institutional partners include Worldpay, Google Cloud, and eToro. Hoskinson also released a free book on zero-knowledge proofs and confirmed upcoming Lace wallet updates.

Cardano Founder Hoskinson Just Released A Free Book On Zero-Knowledge

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has released a free, 357-page book titled "Proving Nothing: A Layered Guide to Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems" under a Creative Commons license. Designed as a non-technical introduction, the book uses a seven-layer framework to explain ZK systems, covering topics from cryptography and proof systems to private smart contracts and zkVMs. Hoskinson stated the project aims to address the low understanding of ZK technology and also serves as an introduction to Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-focused network. The book is intended to be a living document, with plans to update it as Midnight develops and new advancements emerge.

Cardano Founder Says This Midnight Deal Could Bring Billions In TVL

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced a major partnership between the privacy-focused blockchain Midnight and UK-based Monument Bank, which plans to tokenize up to £250 million in retail deposits. This initial phase could expand into billions in Total Value Locked (TVL) as Monument aims to later offer tokenized investment products and Lombard-style lending. The deal is positioned as a breakthrough for regulated finance on public blockchains, using Midnight’s privacy features to balance transparency with banking confidentiality while operating within existing regulatory frameworks.

Cardano Founder Unveils Midnight Rollout Plan As Mainnet Launch Begins

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has announced the start of the federated mainnet phase for Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain. The launch is being conducted gradually with daily operational checkpoints to ensure network stability. Initially, the mainnet is running in a guarded mode with limited transactions and dApp deployments. Federated node operators, including Google Cloud, Telegram, and MoneyGram, are managing the rollout. The first user-facing feature is DUST generation, accessible via Lace wallet. Hoskinson emphasized Midnight's complex architecture, which integrates zero-knowledge proofs and spans both public and private ledgers. Future upgrades will introduce composable contracts, cross-chain intents, and governance features, though full decentralization is expected to take 6–12 months due to the broad distribution of tokens via a "glacier drop."

Cardano Founder Praises ShieldUSD Milestone On Midnight

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlights the significance of privacy-preserving stablecoins, particularly praising the recent deployment of a minimum-viable ShieldUSD contract on Midnight's preview environment. Developed by W3i, ShieldUSD is a private stablecoin designed for confidential financial use cases like payroll and institutional DeFi, while supporting regulatory compliance through selective disclosure. This aligns with Midnight's core vision of a privacy-first blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs. Hoskinson's endorsement echoes his previous support for Moneta's USDM stablecoin, positioning ShieldUSD as an extension of regulated, privacy-focused digital dollars. The project remains in development, serving as an early proof-of-concept for Midnight's upcoming production phase.

Hoskinson Says Cardano Just Cleared A Major Binance Hurdle

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, announced a major milestone for the ecosystem: the upcoming Binance spot listing of NIGHT, the native token of the privacy-focused sidechain Midnight. Hoskinson emphasized that this is the first Cardano-native asset to be listed on Binance, which he described as the world's largest altcoin exchange and the center of gravity for liquidity. He framed this development as a breakthrough that removes a significant structural barrier, opening the door for other Cardano assets to access top-tier global liquidity. Beyond market access, Hoskinson connected the listing to broader trends of chain abstraction and compliance, suggesting Midnight's technology could enable privacy-preserving tools essential for scaling tokenized real-world assets. He also presented this achievement as a direct rebuttal to critics who have questioned Cardano's ability to launch large-scale projects and remain relevant in the DeFi space.

MoneyGram Joins Cardano’s Midnight As Federated Mainnet Validator

MoneyGram has joined Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain built on Cardano, as a federated mainnet validator ahead of its planned March launch. This move highlights Midnight’s strategy of partnering with established, compliance-heavy operators from payments, telecom, and fintech—rather than crypto-native firms—to ensure reliability and operational stability from day one. MoneyGram, alongside partners like Vodafone’s Pairpoint and eToro, will help explore how traditional payment networks can leverage blockchain for confidential, compliant transactions without exposing sensitive data. The federated model is framed as a step toward future decentralization, signaling broader institutional adoption of privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure.

Cardano Hard Fork Expected Next Month, Leios Still ‘This Year’: Hoskinson

In a February 19 livestream, Charles Hoskinson announced that the Cardano blockchain is expected to undergo a hard fork "next month," while the Leios scalability solution remains on track for release "this year." He highlighted several key developments, including the upcoming launch of the Midnight network, a LayerZero integration connecting Cardano to over 80 blockchains, and the introduction of USDCx—a stablecoin-like asset emphasizing privacy and non-freezability. Hoskinson also discussed ongoing ecosystem growth, such as Plutus upgrades, Aiken development, and the integration of Pyth as a tier-one oracle. Additionally, he expressed concerns about the industry's shift toward permissioned networks controlled by financial institutions, warning against centralized control over user assets. At the time of reporting, ADA was trading at $0.2748.

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.
