1/ Introducing Nightmode 🌑 What if you could access onchain finance without putting your entire financial life on display? Built with @Sig_Network, Nightmode extends Midnight’s shielded privacy and selective disclosure to public chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron and more. Using MPC vaults, Nightmode aims to bring privacy to the assets and applications people already use, without requiring them to leave their existing ecosystems. See how it works 👇

Blockenfy commits to RealFi (@realfi_co) with the largest enterprise deployment to date. 🔵 Today, we are increasing our investment in RealFi by 2.5x. It follows a philosophy we hold to: bring value to the network first, then build something together, not the other way around. This is thanks to the incredible reception from the @Cardano community and the strong support of ambassadors Mauro and Lucas. They believed in us from the start and shared their vision on RWAs and blockchain, a passion passed on to them by Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles). Together, they have helped us reaffirm a firmer commitment. We believe in the value of our word and in doing things right.

How does Solada work? Here is a 1 minute video as to how it works. @different chains connected through the power of memes @Pumpfun @soladafun

Nudu joins the startups investing in RealFi 📦 🚚 Using a USDC-to-USDC bridge, nudu brought stablecoins over from another ecosystem to try RealFi (@realfi_co), the new Input Output Group (@IOGroup) product on the Cardano network. The move to sUSDrf to generate yield was done with Lace (@lace_io) Wallet. nudu is an Argentine startup building the AI layer for supply chain operations. It was founded by Tomás E. Schattmann and Joaquín Fiora, together with a wonderful team: Olivia García Osella, Imanol Valenzuela Eguez and Facundo Benielli. Talented Argentines, and truly outstanding people. Please join me in welcoming nudu to Cardano and RealFi, and support them in their initiatives and projects. New wallets, new users, new companies. Little by little, this is how a new system gets built, one eager to open up opportunities. It's what we've looked for in Cardano since day one, and it remains true more than 9 years after launch. nudu, an Argentine startup that is making noise. You can find the transaction ID is in the comments

Builders backing builders: RealFi yield, Strike returns; we love to see it.
