BREAKING NEWS MIDNIGHT OPENS ITS DIGITAL CITY 🔥🔥🔥 Midnight Network has launched the midnight.fun portal. Users can now explore all projects and dApps building on the network, dive into on-chain games, and experience the agentic Midnight city.

IOGが方針転換——Acropolis停止・₳4.1M財務省返還・チェーン抽象化へ IOGが正直に言いました。「この開発を続けることは最善ではない」と。 2026年4月7日、Input Output Group（IOG）は2つの主要プロジェクトの方針転換を発表しました。 【何が止まるのか】 Acropolis（アクロポリス） Rustベースで開発していた代替Cardanoノードの開発を4月中に停止します。 ただし成果はあります。 ・ブロックチェーンの同期時間を「4日間→1時間」に短縮するData Nodeを実現 ・SundaeSwap の「Scooper v2」がAcropolisを採用済み ・コードは全てGitHubでオープンソース継続（コミュニティによる継続開発可） なぜ止めるのか。理由は「より優先すべき仕事がある」からです。 Tiered Pricing（段階的価格設定） ネットワーク混雑管理のために設計していたこの仕組みをキャンセルします。 理由は明快です——Leiosアップグレードがトランザクションの根本的な処理方式を変えるため、Tiered Pricingの設計思想自体が完成前に陳腐化してしまう。「完成する前に時代遅れになるものを作るべきではない」というIOGの判断です。 【₳4.1Mが財務省に戻る】 ・Acropolis未使用分: ₳1.4M ・Tiered Pricing全額: ₳2.7M ・合計: ₳4.1M をCardano財務省へ返還 Intersectとの合意のもと、コミュニティがガバナンスを通じて再配分できる状態に戻します。「使い道のない開発に使うより返す」という判断です。 【次の焦点：チェーン抽象化】 Acropolisチームの優秀なエンジニアはそのままチェーン抽象化（Chain Abstraction）プロジェクトに移行します。 チェーン抽象化とは——ブロックチェーンの複雑さを隠し、開発者が普通のWebアプリのようにCardano上でアプリを作れるようにする技術です。 IOGが描く成長の連鎖: 開発者のオンボードが速くなる →製品が早く出る →ユーザーが増える →取引量・流動性・経済活動が増える →TVL・MAUが上がる 「使いやすさはこの段階では必要条件であり、成長そのものだ」とIOGは明言しています。 【SIPOとして見る意味】 ₳4.1Mが財務省に戻ることで、コミュニティが使えるリソースが増えます。また、Leiosロードマップが最優先であることが公式に再確認されました。1,000TPS実現に向けた道筋が、今日さらに明確になりました。 🔗 iog.io/en/blog/posts/… 🔗 iog.io/news/leios-24-…

Midnight will decentralize across development, validators, governance, and multichain consensus, with the Edinburgh Decentralization Index as its north star. The thousands of Cardano SPOs will be invited to the incentivized mainnet with more details later this year.

I'd like to welcome the Capacity Exchange to Web3. Accepting 3rd party tokens for access to the privacy-first capacity of @MidnightNtwrk.

One of the most exciting product features of Midnight. This allows Midnight to accept any cryptocurrency as payment for privacy

@MidnightNtwrk is officially live and we're breaking down what the 'fourth generation of blockchain' means for privacy, compliance, and real-world adoption. Join @IOHK_Charles, @F_ZK_Now, and Mike Ward on Thursday at 10:00am EDT as they discuss the launch — drop your questions 👇 to have them answered live!

Midnight is Live x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The fourth generation of blockchain is here.

Mainnet arc starts now. Let's go!

The moment is here. Midnight is live. Welcome to the era of privacy by default, and disclosure by choice. Read the full announcement article 👇

Midnight is live 🥳 Today marks the launch of the @MidnightNtwrk, a defining step forward in blockchain infrastructure and the realization of a fourth-generation architecture. Rather than forcing a trade-off between transparency and privacy, Midnight allows both to coexist. Developers can build applications where user data remains private, while key conditions can still be proven on-chain, unlocking entirely new design space across financial products, identity systems, and decentralized applications. Welcome to privacy by default, and disclosure by choice. Read the full announcement, including details on the network’s phased rollout designed to ensure stability, security, and long-term resilience as the ecosystem expands: x.com/MidnightNtwrk/…

Let’s have a conversation 🎙️ Today. 6:30pm BST. 📍 Here on X

As institutions implement blockchain, one question keeps coming up: what happens to customer data? In this clip, Midnight’s president @F_ZK_Now explains why the network stores proof, not data, and what that means for compliance. Watch more 👇

We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet. This means native BTC was traded for native ADA. 0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙

🚨 CRYPTO: UK BANK TO TOKENIZE £250M IN RETAIL DEPOSITS ON CARDANO'S MIDNIGHT BLOCKCHAIN Monument Bank, a Bank of England-regulated institution, will become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain, using Cardano's privacy-focused Midnight network. Deposits will remain interest-bearing, fully backed in GBP, redeemable on demand, and protected under the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Midnight's zero-knowledge proof infrastructure keeps transaction data visible only to the bank and its customers. Cardano founder @IOHK_Charles called it "one of the largest deals we've ever done," projecting it could bring hundreds of millions to billions in TVL to the Midnight ecosystem. Monument's affiliate also plans to offer the same tokenized deposit infrastructure to other banks via its Banking-as-a-Service platform.
