Charles Hoskinson went big at TOKEN2049. On one hand, AI agents from Midnight City "hired" 20 humans to walk the floor as their stand-ins. On the other, he called smart contracts "pretty dumb" and pitched their successor, the "Night Frame," which blends zero-knowledge proofs, MPC, and trusted execution on Midnight.đ
Put together, the story he's telling is fairly clear: if agents are going to do real work, they need a smarter, privacy-preserving base layer beyond traditional smart contracts. Lots of hype and big concepts, but how Night Frame will actually ship, and whether those agents are truly autonomous, wasn't said. Enjoy the show, then wait for the product and the data.đ
