Day 4. Still no answer. Here, I'll script it: "Hi JP Morgan, this is Arrowhead. Thanks for co-underwriting our $900M+ secondary last January. Now can you please let your own investors invest in our company through your online platform? Thx!" $ARWR $JPM @ArrowheadPharma @jpmorgan
$ARWR Day 3. Fun fact... $JPM is the co-lead underwriter on $VKTX $500M upsized secondary and you can buy shares of Viking on their online platform. When @jpmorgan co-lead the $900M+ secondary on @ArrowheadPharma you could NOT buy shares online through JPM. You STILL can't. Why?

Seoul, we’re almost at mainnet 🇰🇷 @realfi_co is heading to Korea Blockchain Week (@kbwofficial) for a special evening with the community, builders, and friends across DeFi. Join us for: – Drinks + conversation – ​An update on what's shipping at mainnet – The RealFi community, together in Gangnam Our dApp goes live on Cardano on October 1st. More information arriving soon. RSVP: luma.com/x5dssav0 See you there!
We’re excited to share a major update with our community. @realfi_co is coming to Cardano Mainnet on October 1st. That’s right – get ready, make some noise. Thanks to you all, we have a great base to build on. We got here because of you. To date, more than 3,600 users, completing over 40,000 quest actions, took part in the Pioneer Season* – with the public Testnet giving us exactly what a testnet should: Real usage, real comments, and a clear list of what to work on before launch. Thank you. Importantly, the Pioneer Season will continue until Mainnet; this decision is deliberate and not the result of any major issue or setback: We’re taking the additional time to assess what we’ve learned, incorporate community feedback, and ensure our full-blown launch receives the attention, preparation, and polish it deserves. Our goal is simple: To make the transition to Mainnet as strong, smooth, and successful as possible. We will share further launch week details, including what changes for our Pioneers at Mainnet, as October approaches. We are only getting started, The RealFi Team

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐬 🔥 If you are looking for ways to differentiate to delegators, I encourage you to take a hard look at @realfi_co . It is currently live on testnet and the window before mainnet is short. 🚀 Delegators to participating pools can earn R-Points just for staking with you — plus more if they use the testnet (swap / stake / unstake USDrf). Those points are the path toward RealFi governance. Which is a concrete extra you can offer people who already trust you. It also puts Cardano at the center of a stablecoin meant to sit on real-world credit. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰: 🟩 Extra reason for delegators to choose or stay with you 🟩 Passive R-Points for your delegators, plus more from testnet activity 🟩 Puts your pool next to a real-yield / RWA product, not just another ADA ticker Next few weeks are the last easy stretch to get wallets linked and activity on-chain. The extra testnet activity is beneficial. Start here: realfi.co/ Testnet: preprod.realfi.co/ Bring your pool. Bring your delegators. #Cardano #ADA $ADA #SPO #RealFi @realfi_co

Bitcoin DeFi is getting REAL 🔥 A $10T opportunity. 4x bigger than ETH + SOL combined. …and Cardano is building the rails. 🟢 Bitcoin gets programmability without breaking its rules 🟢 Only BTC. Fees in BTC. Yield in BTC. 🟢 Midnight adds the missing piece — privacy at the connection points That’s how Bitcoin goes from “hold it” to “use it.” Watch: youtu.be/yGcgrBmlku4 #Bitcoin #BitcoinDeFi #Cardano #ADA #NIGHT #DeFi #BTC #BitVM #Crypto​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ @pogun_io @MidnightNtwrk

The teams that are treating the DevRel wind-down as a funeral are still measuring 2022. 🟩 Midnight didn’t shrink the builder surface. It changed who counts as a builder. For years crypto defined a builder as someone who could write Compact, ship proofs, and debug a circuit. AI just broke that gate. Product people, operators, founders, and domain experts can now turn a real problem into a working private app without a full protocol team in the room. 🟩 That’s not retreat. That’s leverage. Watch the tools, not the org chart. Watch Build Club. Watch Night Sky. Watch whether a non-coder can go from idea to a compliant, privacy-preserving dApp. That’s the bet. 🟩 The next wave of Midnight apps won’t all start with “what can I code.. “They’ll start with “what problem is worth protecting.” That’s the shift. Quiet now. Loud later. #Midnight #MidnightNetwork #NIGHT #Cardano #ADA #ZKProofs #PrivacyTech #Web3Builders #AINative #ZeroKnowledge
1/ Some news: we've wound down Midnight's dedicated DevRel team as we shift our strategy for how we bring builders into the ecosystem. The reason is simple: we want to expand who can build on Midnight. Here's what that means. 🧵

This is the part most people miss about privacy chains. Privacy is not “hide the transaction.” It’s a full stack: 🟩 Wallets that don’t leak history 🟩 DeFi that stays confidential and compliant 🟩 Identity you can prove without oversharing 🟩 Payments that work with real institutions 🟩 Infrastructure that never sees the raw data 🟩 AI agents that can act on-chain without exposing what they know You prove the fact. You don’t publish the file. That’s why the partner map looks like this — exchanges, custody, identity, cloud, oracles, wallets, AI. A privacy layer only matters if the rest of the stack can use it. Universal privacy is not a feature. It’s infrastructure. @MidnightNtwrk #Midnight #ZK #Privacy #DeFi #Cardano #Web3
1/ This is what a universal privacy layer looks like in practice. Wallets. DeFi. Identity. Payments. Infrastructure. AI. Hundreds of teams and partners building across the Midnight ecosystem. Here’s the bigger picture. 🧵

Perps on Midnight are a big deal. On most chains, your size, leverage, liquidation path, and P&L sit in public. Anyone can copy your book, hunt your stops, or map your strategy. @AscendPerps settles execution, risk, and liquidation on @MidnightNtwrk with ZK proofs. The network can verify the rules were followed without broadcasting the position itself. That is programmable privacy: 🟩 Trade BTC/ADA perps with leverage
🟩 Keep the sensitive parts private
🟩 Still prove settlement is real Public markets. Private intent. Verifiable outcomes. This is DeFi starting to look like actual finance. #Midnight #NIGHT #Cardano #ADA #DeFi #Perps #ZK #Privacy #Ascend

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.

Ben’s Google talk tomorrow: “Programmable privacy on a shared ledger — for individuals, institutions, and the agents acting on their behalf.” My guess: he’ll show how Midnight Passport + City + Compact lets an AI agent hold a wallet, prove compliance, and transact without leaking the principal’s data. ZK offload on Google Cloud is the scalability piece. If he demos an agent paying another agent while both stay shielded, that’s the money slide.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🚀
Good to be at Google. They buy nice coffee

Cardano is live as the public proof layer for Blockforce’s supply chain platform. 500k+ records already anchored. Sensitive data stays private on Hyperledger Fabric. Only proofs hit Cardano — auditors and customers can verify origin without seeing suppliers or contracts. 92% cheaper per record. Live with Azzas 2154 on leather. 6.5M records contracted through 2030. Privacy where business needs it. Public proof where trust needs it. Total ghost chain. 🔥 @Cardano_CF @Hyperledger #Cardano #ADA #SupplyChain #ESG #Traceability #Blockchain #EUDR​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ @MidnightNtwrk
Cardano is now live as the public proof layer in Blockforce’s traceability platform, with more than 500,000 supply chain records already anchored. Commercial data stays private on Hyperledger Fabric, while cryptographic proofs on Cardano allow records to be independently verified by auditors, regulators and customers. Joint engineering work also cut the cost per record by 92%, helping bring public verification into production at enterprise scale. Read the full announcement: cardanofoundation.org/blog/b…

𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 × 𝐕𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. Contracts on Midnight can now message Cardano and EVM chains directly! 🟩 No wrapped assets 🟩 No synthetic tokens 🟩 No extra bridge token to trustSmart contracts mint, burn, or pass cryptographic messages instead. That means external apps can verify Midnight’s private state without seeing the underlying data. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥: wrapping usually adds trust, depeg risk, and extra steps. This keeps the connection native, so ZK apps can compose across chains without giving up privacy.Less wrapping. Less trust. More real interoperability. @VIA_Labs @MidnightNtwrk @Cardano_CF @ethereum #Midnight #NIGHT #Cardano #ZK #Interoperability

This is a massive unlock for @MidnightNtwrk @celestia Using Celestia’s DA layer instead of traditional P2P means every Zswap offer lives in the same shared namespace. Result: 🟦 Shared liquidity by default 🟦 New venues launch with day-one liquidity 🟦 No more bootstrapping traders one by one 🟦 Full privacy preserved via Zswap P2P becomes a reliable, cryptographically guaranteed service instead of best-effort gossip. Huge for Midnight. 🔥 #Celestia #MidnightNetwork #Zswap #DataAvailability #Web3 #Crypto
New case study: Midnight Network is using Celestia's data availability layer as a replacement for peer-to-peer networking, not just for storage. The result for Midnight was shared liquidity by default. Every Zswap offer lands in the same namespace, readable by any wallet or app. New venues launch with day-one liquidity instead of bootstrapping traders individually, and privacy is preserved throughout via Zswap's confidentiality guarantee.

If CLARITY continues to stall because of Democratic obstruction, the @CFTC will utilize its existing authorities to begin establishing a regime for crypto asset markets. We owe it to the American people to do so. Here's how we'll get it done ⬇️
