1/ Midnight 🤝 @Sig_Network Privacy just got a new path into Ethereum. ICYMI: Our partnership with Sig Network brings Midnight’s programmable privacy to Ethereum applications, letting them keep their liquidity on Ethereum while user balances and identities stay shielded on Midnight. Here’s how it works 👇 midnight.network/blog/sig-ne…

Daedalus 11.4.0 improves the details that matter: keeping your selected wallet throughout DRep delegation and correctly marking expired transactions as failed in CSV exports. Full breakdown from @se7en_labs below.
Daedalus 11.4.0 has arrived. This focused maintenance release improves governance flows, corrects transaction export handling and refreshes the node and wallet components that power Daedalus. Here is what changed. 🧵

Building with @MidnightNtwrk Passport? We added 2 new @Midnight_Skills so your agent can do passkey login. No seed phrase. Here is what each one does: 1/ Midnight Passport The integration skill. It teaches your agent to add Passport to your app: - Passkey login with WebAuthn PRF secrets - Night ID like alice.night - A per-user custody contract - Registry lookup, deposits and withdrawals Secrets stay on device. Never stored. 2/ Example Passport Dapp The runnable template. Clone and run the full flow on localnet: Passkey onboard > deploy custody account > bind Night ID > deposit Night Use it to learn, use Passport to build. #MidnightNetwork #Midskills #ZK

Somewhere along the way, we lost control of our data. Every app keeps a copy of us, and advertising built on data like ours earned Google and Meta nearly half a trillion dollars last year. Midnight Passport works the other way round: your data stays on your device, and you choose what each app gets to see. A short explainer 👇

Today, we had a brief but productive meeting with members of the Midnight Foundation. We demonstrated a live swap on the Midnight mainnet and will soon be sharing our source code with their team for review. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of something much bigger for North Star! We are grateful for their time!

Midnight $NIGHT joined IBM and CertiK at CertiK’s NYC Open House on October 22, discussions on institutional crypto compliance, security and the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape. For me, the significance is the conversation itself. Institutions need to protect sensitive information while meeting their obligations. How blockchain addresses both needs will shape its role in traditional finance. Privacy has a practical purpose beyond individual wallets: businesses need confidentiality too. Seeing Midnight contribute to that conversation is encouraging, with the next step being how those discussions translate into real applications. I have been posting to call retails to have a look at Midnight, before Institutions, before banks. And November starts with bang.

This is going to become an exponential growth platform the more people realize what can be done and how to do it.
Now I fully get why Charles said $NIGHT will be bigger than $ZEC. On-chain activity is going parabolic, just hit a record 49,229 txs in a single day (more than double Zcash), after jumping from a few hundred a day to 20k–50k following permissionless smart contracts. Selective disclosure, private agents, cross-chain DeFi kernel + real usage exploding. Been stacking as hard as I could for the past 12 months. The FOMO hasn’t even started.

The Gummiworm specification, funded by Catalyst Fund 11, is complete ✅ Gummiworm is a layer 2 for Cardano with fast finality, high throughput and decentralized custody of your funds. The community voted for us to document it in full, so anyone can understand how it works and build with it. Thank you to everyone who voted! Here’s what we delivered: a whitepaper with 51 articles, 50,000 words and 40+ diagrams, from the protocol design to how your funds are protected. 📄 gummiworm.net/whitepaper Then we put it to the test. @SugarRushDEX, an orderbook exchange built on our L2, ran a 14-day trading competition on Cardano mainnet and processed 660M+ L2 transactions. The spec is done, but Gummiworm keeps evolving: over a quarter of the whitepaper maps out what comes next. Watch the full story in our closeout video: 🎥 youtu.be/htfaffzqW4E
