Im very happy to see this one release. Well done to the teams involved 🙏🏽
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. 🔗 midnight.network/freedom-fig…

Freedom isn’t just something we fight for. It’s something we have to build for. Excited to see this @MidnightNtwrk campaign come to life! Don’t sleep on it 👇

5/ Freedom depends on more than who holds power. It also depends on the systems we use to communicate, organize, and protect what’s ours. Explore all four episodes of Freedom Fighters and the connection between freedom, privacy, and technology. midnight.network/freedom-fig…

You won't believe the state of Cardano's revenue @Cardano earned $3,079 in transaction fee revenue on October 20th. Surprisingly, this was the Layer-1 blockchain's highest daily earnings in 7 days. According to data tracked by @chainspect_app, the revenue gain is associated with an increase in transactions executed using Cardano's eUTXO execution model. Compared to other top L1s, $ADA is behind the pecking order, having recorded under $150K in the past 30 days.

Introducing PFMS: Bringing Government Scale Adoption to Cardano by Trivolve Tech A Treasury proposal which brings massive scale real world adoption to @Cardano with its first user being an Indian state government. PFMS secures the entire Chain of Evidence on Cardano. The scale of the project is such that once it is deployed, it will become the largest government scale project ever on Cardano. PFMS will be built as an open source public good for policing and justice systems worldwide. What PFMS brings to Cardano with just the first deployment: → 1.53M + Cardano mainnet transactions in year one and rising every year as adoption grows. → Grows the current Cardano mainnet transaction metric by +18.2%. → ~5.1M DIDs across 3,500 facilities, 1.81M devices, 113,000 personnel and 3.2M evidence items connected to Cardano. → Cuts down case resolution time by 30% using Cardano. → Generates revenue through PFMS’s evidence verification service. → 70% of verification revenue returned to the Treasury, 20% to core Cardano library maintenance & 10% to Trivolve Tech. → Open source core (Apache 2.0) as a public good, designed for reuse across the world. The ask: ₳9,600,000 over 15 months. Here’s how we’re doing it 👇🧵

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.

I'm working on a concept that only midnight can bring to the cryptocurrency space that solves most of the problems. Almost have all of it designed conceptually. It's the magnum opus of my career

Now this is worth paying attention to. $ETH is heading toward computation off-chain, verification on-chain. That's the same philosophy $ADA chose from day one. With eUTXO, the computation that builds a tx happens off-chain, and the chain just verifies it follows the rules. The network blockchains should aim for isn't one that computes everything. It's one that verifies what's true, lightly and with certainty. Ethereum is heading there. Cardano is already standing there.
Ultimately, precompiles and EVM are both the wrong place to put most cryptography support into Ethereum. The reason is that precompiles and EVM both operate on data that has to be included into the ethereum chain somehow, which realistically means included in a block as calldata. That space is limited - even with PeerDAS and blocks-in-blobs, there's a practical cap of ~8 MB/s before it starts getting uncomfortable. Remember: it's not a blockchain. It's a cryptographic world computer. Any data/computation that does not need to be in the "main thread" of data/execution should not be put into the main thread. Instead, the correct solution is... EIP-8288 maximalism. If you have any heavy computation that's self-contained, compute it and STARK it client-side (this is quickly getting faster and faster, even on phones), and push the STARK through the EIP-8288 recursive aggregation mechanism. The chain sees the fact that the computation was done and what the result is; it never needs to see the actual data and computation. This way everyone can use whatever cryptography they want, the Ethereum chain can be lean, and we never need to add more precompiles again.

Midnight is Freedom Prepare your 🍿 for what comes next on October 22
Freedom is the sum of many things. But what happens when the freedom to speak, organize, and live on your own terms is under threat? We're exploring what it takes to fight for freedom, and why the future of freedom depends on the digital infrastructure built to protect it. Freedom Fighters with @leopoldolopez. Coming October 22. midnight.network/freedom-fig…
