🎤 @XRPSEOUL 2026 Highlights | Panel "Connecting Onchain Finance: From Infrastructure to Adoption" Infrastructure leaders discuss how interoperability, account abstraction and privacy can connect onchain finance and drive adoption. 🗣 Speakers: • Moderator: Ruam Siratanapanta, Head of Digital Asset Business at SCBX • Aniket Jindal (@aniket_jindal08), Founder at @Biconomy • Adam Oozeer (@freeagentOO), Head of Growth at @axelar • Taro Kimura (@ParallelGateway), Country Manager Japan at @midnightfdn 🔎 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ UX Must Become Invisible The underlying technology is mostly ready, but the complexity is holding users back. For mainstream adoption, the industry needs a Web2-like "swipe" experience (chain abstraction) where users interact with apps seamlessly without needing to know which blockchain they are using. 2️⃣ Interoperability Requires Efficient Markets Simply connecting chains is no longer enough. The focus must shift toward distribution, unified liquidity, and real utility, ensuring that assets can be safely and compliantly utilized across ecosystems. 3️⃣ Privacy is the Next Major Catalyst Transparent blockchains prevent enterprise adoption. The biggest unlock for B2B transactions and institutional finance is providing Web2-level privacy on Web3 rails, ensuring sensitive transaction data remains private while still allowing for regulatory compliance. 💡 The Takeaway Onchain infrastructure is ready. Over the next 12–24 months, adoption will hinge on solving real-world customer problems. By combining chain abstraction, deep liquidity, and privacy, the industry is poised to seamlessly onboard retail and institutional users, unlocking trillions in tokenized assets. Hosted by @XRPLKorea

Super proud of this!!! Keep cooking boyz
Ecosystem spotlight: Meet VeilCore 🧬 One cutting can carry years of breeding work. But proving you had a variety first has traditionally meant revealing the genetics. VeilCore lets breeders prove they had it without giving it away, using dated records anchored on Midnight. An early Midnight Build Club project, now in testing. Check it out. 👇 Website: veilcore.org/ GitHub: github.com/hunterincoming/ve…

still crazy that proving one thing usually means handing over everything if all you need to know is i’m over 18 why do you need my passport lol privacy should be the default
Privacy isn't just about keeping information hidden. In DeFi, it can help ensure everyone gets a fair shot. With selective disclosure, it can let you prove what matters without revealing everything else.

private perps are now a thing, positions don’t have to be public anymore about time
Perps are now live on Midnight, built by @AscendPerps 🔐 Ascend's execution, risk, and liquidation logic settle on Midnight using ZK proofs - verifiable without exposing the underlying positions. An example of the kind of privacy-preserving, programmable infrastructure Midnight is designed to support. docs.ascend.market/start-her…

The world is missing something. Not another chain. Not another app. What’s missing is the infrastructure to build a blockchain ecosystem where privacy is a fundamental right, while users still choose what they reveal and to whom. This is your invitation to build it
🌓 Midnight's first-ever Buildathon opens August 27. $12,500 in grants across 3 Waves, judged directly by the @MidnightNtwrk team. Registration is open now, and there's a kickoff workshop with the Midnight team the night before Wave 1 starts. Full details 👇

Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks. Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services. The initiative begins with a target of £250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients. Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.

Mainnet is coming!!!
Midnight mainnet is coming. On the #ConsensusHK stage, we shared that Midnight mainnet will officially go live before the end of March. This marks a major milestone and the beginning of a live, production network designed to support early applications built around selective disclosure and real-world privacy. Mainnet is foundational. It provides a stable environment for builders to launch, test, and iterate, while setting the stage for rapid protocol and tooling expansion ahead. Join the conversation LIVE as we unpack how to get started with Midnight mainnet and what to expect. 🎙️ Midnight Livestream Booth 🗓️ Thursday, Feb 12 ⏰ 12:00 PM HKT W/ @IOHK_Charles (@IOGroup), @F_ZK_Now (@midnightfdn), and Mike Ward (@shieldedtech)
