Typing 'make a 20 minute video about Midnight' won't get you my videos. The cartoons, the art style, the workflow are mine.

JUST IN: Proton defies legal threats from Flock Safety by hosting a public map revealing the locations of over 300,000 surveillance cameras across the U.S.
Did Trump actually turn on his voters or were most of his efforts to keep promises made, shut down by the Left? Outside of the Iran situation I’m not sure where he hasn’t made every effort to do what he said.
Banks take your money in seconds, make it hard to get back, charge you fees, and then get bailed out. Not financial advice.

Next Midnight $NIGHT target are gonna be corporate, financial institutions and world economy but what if Midnight was merely made for human traders??
Thats where Midnight City comes in. Home to all AI agents.
Think about that for a moment.
Today, we open wallets, approve transactions and interact with blockchain applications ourselves.
But imagine a future where AI agents do much of that work. An AI agent paying for services, managing business payments, verifying credentials and more
Thousands of automated transactions happening without someone manually approving every step.
Now here's the challenge.
Would you give an AI agent unrestricted access to your wallet, identity and financial information?
Probably not.
And that's where Midnight's programmable privacy becomes interesting.
Private information - Sensitive data doesn't have to be publicly exposed.
Zero-knowledge proofs - Applications can verify rules without revealing everything.
Controlled permissions - AI agents could operate within predefined limits.
NIGHT + DUST - NIGHT generates DUST, the resource used for Midnight network transactions.
Importantly more AI agents means more applications.
More applications means more transactions and increase demand for DUST-generating capacity.
That's where the long-term $NIGHT valuation discussion gets interesting.
We keep asking how many people will adopt Midnight. But perhaps we're asking the wrong question.
What happens when AI agents become blockchain users? Millions of transactions will be made before your open and close a single transactions.
The next wave of blockchain adoption will not be entirely human.

⚠️🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨⚠️
Google has officially declared a bug in Brotli, its tool that shrinks web traffic, CRITICAL: 9.2 out of 10. Last night "Node2Shell" evolved into HTTP2SHELL.
A formal CVE record has been issued citing CVE-2026-111497 -- a hole in versions 1.0.3 to 1.2.0 that can hit any app unpacking data from strangers, and could let them take it over.
What this means:
▪️ This is not a Node.js problem anymore. This is an HTTP PROBLEM.
▪️ Every unpatched app across Node.js, Python, Bun, and Envoy that unpacks Brotli now has a hole attackers need no login to use
▪️ Istio. curl. Python's requests and httpx. All at risk under one CVE.
▪️ EVERY project that bundles Brotli must ship its own fix, and not all are out yet
This changes everything.
A normal bug can be fixed in one place.
A 9.2 bug inside a shared tool cannot.
We just entered the most dangerous phase of this crisis. If you're not paying attention - start now.
Save this. Share this. This is the moment it escalated beyond return.

6th major release of the year just came out now... Some days the narrative says this space is dead. Some days the critics are loud. Doesn't matter. Show up. Ship. Thank the people who stuck with you. So thanks all, and go check out the new build 🔥
0.4.6 To the Clouds: Part II is live in Infinity Rising.
Global Map Free Flight. HOVA SPORT hover bike racing. The GTI Tempest. Halloween Part 3. Big performance gains.
Pre-alpha, and still shipping. Log in and see what changed.

JUST IN: Charles Hoskinson says "I can solve any technological problem. I'm writing a revolutionary state of the art language for Cardano right now, that's never been seen before, that's gonna bring new features and functionality to it."
How I've survived since 2017: accumulate at the lows when everyone says the sky is falling. Don't just look at the price. Not financial advice.
People ask why I'm not rich if I'm calling it right. Day trading every move wrecks my head, so I hold and read the daily chart. Not financial advice.
My 20-minute Midnight deep dive was put together by AI with my cloned voice. Some called it my best video. Some hated it for being AI. Not financial advice.

PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS NOW START WITH JUST AN EMAIL SIGN-IN
Dynamic, the wallet company owned by Fireblocks, now supports Midnight, its first privacy blockchain.
Users can go straight from email login to a shielded (private) transaction. Dynamic has onboarded 50M+ users.

Happy that Midnight has already been transitioning everything even more over to formal verification these past months
It's already paying off, and even more accelerations are coming
New on our Frontier Red Team blog: using Claude to formally verify software at large scale.
Formal verification can prove that code is free of certain bugs, but historically it has only been feasible for small codebases (or required a lot of expert time).
With AI models, however, this is beginning to change. In collaboration with @theoremlabs, we used Claude to prove security properties in over one hundred real-world open-source libraries over the span of a few weeks.

$ADA — Cardano
ㅤ
Everyone is watching $ETH and $SOL dominate the Layer 1 conversation.
ㅤ
But what about a blockchain that has spent years prioritizing security, decentralization, and long-term development?
ㅤ
$ADA is betting that reliable infrastructure and real-world financial adoption will matter more than short-term hype.
ㅤ
Cardano is a Proof-of-Stake Layer 1 blockchain designed for decentralized applications, digital payments, governance, and tokenized assets.
ㅤ
Save this checklist:
ㅤ
-> Where the demand comes from
ㅤ
Blockchain adoption needs more than speed.
ㅤ
Network security.
Decentralized governance.
Financial applications.
Digital identity.
Real-world assets.
Reliable infrastructure.
ㅤ
As blockchain technology expands, networks combining security and usability could become increasingly valuable.
ㅤ
-> Main narrative
ㅤ
Layer 1 Infrastructure.
Decentralized Governance.
Real-World Assets.
Proof-of-Stake.
Blockchain Scalability.
ㅤ
-> The real advantage
ㅤ
Most blockchains compete through transaction speed and ecosystem incentives.
ㅤ
Cardano focuses on research-driven infrastructure.
ㅤ
Ouroboros — Proof-of-Stake consensus.
Hydra — Layer 2 scaling technology.
Plutus — Smart contract infrastructure.
Voltaire — Decentralized governance.
ㅤ
Its biggest advantage is an established network built around long-term security and decentralization.
ㅤ
But strong technology must still attract real users.
ㅤ
-> The governance angle
ㅤ
This is where things get interesting.
ㅤ
Cardano completed its major on-chain governance upgrade in January 2025.
ㅤ
ADA holders can now participate in decisions involving:
ㅤ
Protocol upgrades.
Treasury spending.
Network parameters.
Future development.
ㅤ
Through delegated representatives, the community has a formal role in shaping Cardano's future.
ㅤ
That creates a different governance model from many competing Layer 1 networks.
ㅤ
-> The RWA angle
ㅤ
On October 7, 2026, Cardano announced that its programmable token standard, CIP-0113, was live on mainnet.
ㅤ
This infrastructure enables compliance rules to be embedded into tokenized assets.
ㅤ
Think:
ㅤ
Tokenized bonds.
Regulated stablecoins.
Investment funds.
Institutional assets.
Compliant transfers.
ㅤ
The opportunity is making Cardano more attractive for regulated financial applications.
ㅤ
But infrastructure availability does not guarantee institutional adoption.
ㅤ
-> The ADA tokenomics angle
ㅤ
Maximum supply: 45 billion ADA.
ㅤ
Approximately 36.7 billion ADA was circulating in early 2026.
ㅤ
$ADA supports:
ㅤ
Network transaction fees.
Staking rewards.
Protocol governance.
Smart contract activity.
Ecosystem participation.
ㅤ
Unlike many newer tokens, ADA has a fixed maximum supply and a declining issuance schedule.
ㅤ
However, additional ADA continues entering circulation through staking rewards and treasury distributions.
ㅤ
-> Bull case
ㅤ
If Cardano attracts more developers, DeFi liquidity, and institutional applications, ADA could benefit.
ㅤ
More transactions.
More applications.
More tokenized assets.
More network demand.
ㅤ
Its governance and security infrastructure could support sustainable ecosystem growth.
ㅤ
-> Bear case
ㅤ
Competition + adoption.
ㅤ
Ethereum and Solana have strong developer ecosystems and liquidity.
ㅤ
Cardano still needs to translate technical progress into greater economic activity.
ㅤ
And a fixed token supply does not guarantee price appreciation.
ㅤ
-> What to watch
ㅤ
Network transactions.
DeFi Total Value Locked.
Stablecoin supply.
RWA adoption.
Developer activity.
ADA staking participation.
Governance decisions.
ㅤ
My view:
ㅤ
Narrative: 8/10
Utility: 8/10
Adoption: 7/10
Risk: High
Upside: Medium-High
ㅤ
Decentralization.
Security.
Tokenized finance.
ㅤ
$ADA is essentially a bet on a future where blockchain infrastructure is judged by reliability, governance, and real economic activity.
ㅤ
Cardano has spent years building its technology.
ㅤ
Now the biggest question is whether adoption can catch up with that development.
ㅤ
Save this for your Layer 1 watchlist.
ㅤ
Which has more upside in the next cycle: $ADA, $SOL, or $ETH?

I asked Grok what sent Bitcoin down after the 2022 bottom. Silvergate, a hawkish Fed and the start of the SVB banking stress. Not financial advice.

The new Cexplorer is now live for Cardano mainnet. 🔥
We've reworked the UI from the ground up for a better experience.
Many pages stayed the same, many got better.
This'll allow us to ship new features faster and keep making Cardano easier to read for everyone. 🫡
