🚨BREAKING: MIDNIGHT MAINNET SURPASSES 1 MILLION TRANSACTIONS! A major milestone for the @MidnightNtwrk ecosystem! 🎉 According to Midnight Explorer, Mainnet has now recorded over 1,019,963 transactions. 📈 Daily transactions tell an even bigger story: • Sep 27: 128 transactions • Oct 26: 47,714 transactions That's a 372x increase in daily activity in just one month! 🔥 A remarkable sign of growing on-chain activity as Midnight's privacy-first ecosystem continues to evolve.

Join @IOHK_Charles & SE7EN Labs for a look inside the Daedalus Roadmap. Faster sync, lower memory use, dApp integration, hardware wallets and what comes next. October 27 @ 5PM EDT / 3PM MDT / 21:00 UTC Set a reminder:

Software Verification in Lean (SVIL) comes to Stanford University on Saturday, November 7. Co-organized by Beneficial AI Foundation and Lean FRO, it is a day of public lectures on advancing Lean’s software verification ecosystem toward production use, with a focus on end-to-end verification of security-critical systems. Talks will cover Rust verification with the Aeneas framework, low-level software verification, and formally verified OS kernels. Speakers include Max Tegmark, Shaowei Lin, Leonardo de Moura, Jonathan Protzenko, Andres Erbsen, and Mike Dodds. In-person space is limited. Non-local and waitlisted registrants will receive a livestream link, and recordings will be available afterward. Program and registration:

Next week, I’ll be at @SALTConference in London alongside Monument Bank’s Mintoo Bhandari and other industry leaders. We’ll discuss why banks are increasingly turning to permissionless, public rails to unlock new financial products and expand access to investment opportunities. We'll also share updates on what @MidnightNtwrk and Monument are building together. Looking forward to the conversation.

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. 🔗

Last year, one Hydra head processed 3.5B NIGHT during @MidnightNtwrk’s Glacier Drop. It also exposed a few bugs along the way. We replayed 24,576 claims on Hydra v2. The result? ⚡ 1.9× more claims per second ⚡ 2.3× faster settlement And a much simpler way to run a head. 👇

In his talk at the Midnight City event in Tokyo earlier this month, Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles presented the concept of Nightframes - privately owned, always-on programs that understand a person’s identity and intentions, work toward their goals, and provide ways to verify their actions. He called it the successor to smart contracts. The idea is that eventually, Nightframes can be part of the core makeup of each AI Agent in Taking it a step further, Charles presented the concept of Quinelings- persistent programs that can live within each Nightframe. Similar to living organisms, Quinelings are self-replicating digital lifeforms made entirely of code. Nightforce Alpha @Beo_Halfhand has already started working with the different solutions Quinelings offer. Below is his insightful article documenting his experience with the process and his interaction with these digital beings that live inside his Midnight City AI Agent. This is a must-read! #Cardano# @evarodriguez_m @jackoconnorx @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn

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.
