Leios is the scaling solution for Cardano.
One year ago it was a research paper from IO Research. Today it's a live prototype on a public testnet, ready for you to test, use, and push to its limits.
The Musashi Dojo is open.

🚀 Most people are talking about Hydra, Midnight, stablecoins, and DeFi…
But one of the biggest upgrades in Cardano’s history may be flying under the radar:
⚡ LEIOS ⚡
Leios isn’t just another update—it’s Cardano’s path toward massive scalability.
Imagine:
🏦 More DeFi activity 🤖 AI-powered economies 🎮 Large-scale gaming ecosystems 🏢 Enterprise adoption 🌎 Millions of users interacting on-chain
All without sacrificing the decentralization and security that Cardano is known for.
Now combine that with Midnight:
🔒 Privacy & Selective Disclosure ⚡ Leios Throughput & Scale 🌊 Hydra High-Speed Execution 🛡️ Mithril Fast Synchronization
The result isn’t just a faster blockchain.
It’s a foundation for the next generation of finance, AI agents, digital identity, and enterprise applications.
Cardano provides the scale.
Midnight provides the privacy.
Together they could create one of the most powerful blockchain ecosystems in the world.

Let’s make a few things clear.
What is happening right now is tragic, and I genuinely feel for everyone affected.
What is NOT happening is a failure of the Cardano protocol.
Blocks are being produced. Transactions are being processed. The network remains online and secure.
People, companies, and applications may stumble. Cardano keeps doing what it was designed to do.
There’s a difference.
Musashi Dojo is live! The Leios public testnet is here.
Huge credit to IO's Leios team, and to the collaborators who made this possible: @Cardano_CF, @IntersectMBO & @blinklabs_io. This was a truly collective effort.
Come explore. Test it. Break it.

Introducing PRIME.
A 12 month DeFi growth program run by @AlphaGrowth, the team behind over $1 billion in TVL across Compound, Uniswap, Arbitrum, and more. They'll work with what Cardano already has and bring in new protocols to drive real yield.
$ADA Macro Outlook
5 years. Wave 2 zigzag. Held by a parallel channel.
ADA is coiling.
I called SOL before the 20X.
Wave 3 on ADA could dwarf it.
You've been warned.
Have you already considered joining the Nightforce?

Midnight is building a community for long-term contributors, not short-term speculators. If you're here to build, educate, support, and grow the ecosystem alongside fellow believers in rational privacy, this is your call.
No FUD. No airdrop farming. Just commitment, collaboration, and impact. The future of Midnight will be shaped by those who show up consistently! 🌙⚡
Cardano is about to shift from a 'research-first' chain to a 'throughput-first' beast. 🏛️⚡
The Leios and Peras integration is the long-awaited architecture designed to finally decouple block production from validation.
Why this changes everything:
🔹 The TPS Ceiling is Gone: We’re looking at "as much as you want" throughput tens of thousands of transactions per second. This isn't just "fast"; it's global settlement scale.
🔹 Decoupled Efficiency: Leios allows for massive transaction volume without sacrificing the decentralization that makes Cardano the most secure L1 in the game.
🔹 The 'June 23' Catalyst: The Leios testnet goes live in just 4 days. This is the moment the "slow" narrative officially dies.
Cardano has spent years building the foundation. Now, they’re turning on the engine. If the network can hit these metrics in a live environment, the barrier to institutional adoption effectively vanishes. 📈 $ADA #Cardano #Scalability #Leios
Privacy that survives production.
Protofire is now @MidnightNtwrk's engineering partner, building the apps, cryptographic services, and tooling that turn programmable data protection with selective disclosure into something teams can actually deploy.
🚨 Charles Hoskinson just dropped a subtle signal that most people are overlooking...
For those unfamiliar, Alpha Growth specializes in helping blockchain ecosystems attract liquidity, institutions, partnerships, and DeFi growth.
That's interesting because Cardano's next phase isn't just about technology anymore—it's about capital, adoption, and real-world usage.
And when you think about institutional DeFi, Midnight becomes impossible to ignore:
🔐 Privacy with compliance
🏦 Institutional-grade infrastructure
📊 Tokenized real-world assets
💵 Stablecoins
🤝 Enterprise adoption
If institutional capital is looking for a home in crypto, Midnight may be one of the few networks built specifically for that future.
Maybe it's nothing.
Maybe it's something much bigger.
Either way, I'm paying attention.

❗ @Cardano is going to completely overtake Bitcoin and the rest of the market is simply not ready for it!
When we say that this ecosystem will surprise everyone we are speaking the absolute truth. Most people still do not understand how deeply undervalued Cardano really is today.
@IOHK_Charles once again confirms this exact reality. Cardano stands entirely alone as the only blockchain with such a powerful and unbreakable foundation. There is a true inevitability playing out right in front of us.
We are walking together toward a brighter and fairer decentralized future. The journey ahead is deeply inspiring and the final outcome will bring so much joy to everyone who stayed true to this vision.
@eternlwallet why is it when I submit a transaction using Ledger, Eternl wallet submits the transaction twice? ..... This has been happening for a long time now so please fix this
Midnight 🤝 Buysell Standards
The Midnight Foundation is partnering with Buysell Standards, operator of the security token platform PIECE, to explore a privacy-preserving pathway for Korean tokenized assets to move from local issuance to global distribution.
Together, the teams will test the full lifecycle of issuing and managing tokenized assets on @MidnightNtwrk, using selective disclosure to protect sensitive data while meeting regulatory requirements.

Why Cardano DeFi TVL could explode 10x:
Cardano has the best staking mechanism in crypto... but it's ironically holding back DeFi growth.
Cardano DeFi TVL is sitting at around $100M while ~56% of supply ( $3B+ ) is just in staking. One catalyst (liquid staking) could flip the switch and send it to $1B+
Most people staking ADA miss out on DeFi yields because moving this staked ADA into defi protocols, reduces or stops staking rewards completely. @lava 's liquid staking changes the game: keep earning staking rewards + stack DeFi yields.

Pyth Network is now live on Cardano.
Cardano projects can claim one year of free access to Pyth Pro, with a free API key and onboarding support available through the Pyth team.
Pyth aggregates real time market data from over 100 institutional publishers, including exchanges, market makers and trading firms.
The Cardano integration uses a pull based model.
Applications fetch the latest price update off chain, submit it to an on chain contract, and the data is cryptographically verified before a smart contract uses it.
A huge milestone for builders who need verified price data on Cardano, congratulations to all involved that made this happen.
Welcome to Cardano @PythNetwork excited to have you!
Midnight 🤝 @turnkeyhq
The Midnight Foundation is partnering with Turnkey to bring developer-first wallet infrastructure to the @MidnightNtwrk.
This partnership will integrate Turnkey’s secure, API-first, non-custodial key management and flexible SDKs with Midnight’s privacy-enhancing technology, helping reduce friction for developers building embedded wallet experiences into DApps.
The integration is designed to support a broad range of use cases, including:
👉 Embedded wallets for DApps
👉 Infrastructure for wallet providers
👉 Verifiable policy engines for AI agents and automation
👉 Enterprise and institutional applications
Together, the partnership expands the tooling available to developers building privacy-preserving applications on Midnight.
