Holy crap. Just submitted for a brutal hackathon that has me about exhausted. How do I come up with this crap? Big shoutout to my buddy @alexchain79 for the amazing FULLY FUNCTIONING demo of my crazy ass protocol, that's the first of its kind in the world. Potentially decentralized OPSEC for blockchains. Starring @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn . Maybe tomorrow he'll let me share a video that we didn't get to turn in with my video flare. Special thanks to @SebastienGllmt for taking a peek at the repo. Alex got it to work! lol Im a proud crypto pirate tonight. Now all we need to do is beat 2300 of other people. lol

Mass Adoption Depends on Simplicity Blockchain's revolutionary potential (self-custody, censorship resistance, verifiable data) means little if everyday users can't use it without frustration. Traditional Web2 apps (like Venmo, PayPal, or banking apps) are frictionless. Crypto often requires managing seed phrases, understanding gas fees, switching networks, signing confusing transactions, and dealing with irreversible errors. - Surveys and studies consistently show that complex onboarding and technical jargon are the top reasons new users drop off. - Poor UX leads to abandoned transactions, lost funds (via mistakes), and negative word-of-mouth. Good UX turns curious users into loyal ones who recommend the product. That is why I am big believer of Midnight Passport and Midnight.city

Id like to be the first to delegate to @IOHK_Charles as DRep. @IOGroup

Hello everyone! Week 2 update on BlindOracle, my @gimbalabs hackathon project. Big week of progress, and I'm genuinely glad to share where it landed. github.com/bytewizard42i/… For the new folks: BlindOracle is a privacy-first guessing game on @MidnightNtwrk. You secretly hide a number AND secretly guess what number an arbitrarily assigned opponent will hide. Nobody, not the other player, not me, not even the chain, can see your move. But everyone can prove, cryptographically, that the game was fair. Update 2: This week, the foundation came together. 🃏 The smart contract logic is done. Players hide their answer AND their guess at the same time. The game won't start until enough humans have joined, and there's a built-in cap, so no one can game it by all picking the same number. 🎲 Three rooms in parallel. When you enter, you're invisibly assigned to one of three rooms; you don't know which. Your opponent always comes from your room, but you never learn the room boundary. Ai players keep each room warm until real humans show up, then quietly step aside as the game fills. Winners take 90% of the pot; the house keeps 10%. 🔮 The user interface scaffold is up. The entry experience is a custom 3D scene with a pluggable renderer, and it's accessible to screen readers and keyboard users from day one. (Most 3D-canvas UIs aren't, and that bothered me.) 🏗️ AND... I got the smart contract to compile cleanly today. All ten of the game's moves produce valid zero-knowledge-proof code. The biggest one (entering a round) generates 30KB of proof logic. The status badge on the GitHub repo just turned green. Honest update: last week I mentioned wanting to add blockfrost_io. After thinking it through, BlindOracle doesn't actually need it, Midnight already gives me everything I need. So I removed the dependency. Less is more. We will use the amazing Blockfrost API in a few of our other projects down the line. @gimbalabs @DraperDragon @midnightfdn @windsurf @OpenAI @newman5 #gimbalabs #pieceofpie #hackathon @gimbalabs

Pyth Pro from @PythNetwork is now live on Cardano. Introducing a new layer for price data and giving builders access to high-quality, verifiable market feeds when they need them. The first partnership announced in December 2025 as part of the Pentad Critical Integrations effort, we are pleased to announce this mainnet launch. Intersect teams have supported with integration work and hackathon participation to help reach this milestone. Welcome Pyth!

BIG SHOUTOUT TO @windsurf Occasionally, I'll send them feedback and crazy ideas, and they just sent me a gift of hundreds of dollars worth of prompt credits!!!!!!! I am so truly grateful, this will go a long way this month with my working on 3 hackathons and a book. lol Windsurf is the only reason I can hang out with all you smarties. Shot out to my amazing friends and those helping me with all this awesome stuff: @IOHK_Charles @NiGHTC412 @zbraiterman @Sages_and_Pages @LoLoCoding @olanetsoft @stevanlohja @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn @MidnightWhale42 @Blockchaintoda @ILikeCardano @ESCOweb3 @rvcas @Demosthenes555 @ESCOweb3 @Jennycitalinda @phil_uplc @solidsnakedev @hari_amoor @ErickRomeroEdda @eddalabs_io @nmkr_io @OpenZeppelin @GoogleCloudTech @blockfrost_io @BeatriceAnihiri @intruderPTY @BrickTowers @jackoconnorx feel free to add yourself if i missed you...
