Deep thoughts by Kneeco!

What if AI doesn’t just redistribute today’s scarce resources… but completely changes what we even need?

Fusion energy, asteroid mining, smart materials—suddenly oil, rare metals, even land stop being the bottlenecks.

Riches shift from stuff to ideas, creativity, and new frontiers.

We’re not stuck slicing the same old pie. The pie itself transforms.

Scarcity moves… but it doesn’t have to rule us.

This is my prayer also. What do you think—could this reshape how we define wealth forever?

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.
📄 https://t.co/a6zQuxRKNx

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:

Did you say $8 is too ambitious for Midnight $NIGHT ? Read this and answer at the end.

Why would a global bank choose MIDNIGHT over other privacy blockchains?

Banks manage billions. Global financial institutions manage trillions (plural) .

But they can't expose every client's balance, transaction, investment strategy or business relationship on a public blockchain.

And they can't operate without regulatory oversight either.

This is where Midnight's PROGRAMMABLE PRIVACY gets interesting.

Keep sensitive financial information private.

Prove transactions follow predefined rules.

Allow authorised disclosure to regulators and auditors.

Build privacy-enabled applications across connected blockchain ecosystems.

And we're already seeing institutions explore this opportunity (see previous posts, too many already working with Midnight)

Monument Bank is working with Midnight on a programme targeting up to £250 MILLION in tokenised deposits starting November.

Now imagine that model expanding beyond one bank.

Private lending.
Tokenised assets.
Institutional DeFi.
Cross-border finance.

Here's where $NIGHT comes into the picture.

More real applications could create greater demand for Midnight's DUST-powered transaction capacity.

And NIGHT generates DUST.

Don't even get me started on NightMode, Solana and Tron will be undergoing privacy mode starting December.

But if programmable privacy becomes essential financial infrastructure, the valuation conversation could look very different.

Midnight will become infrastructure that institutions actually depend on.

$8 will just be the beginning to price in for next round.

[Dan Gambardello @dangambardello]

🚨TRON will be implementing Nightmode from Midnight for private yet compliant payments!

It already works on Ethereum & is expanding to Bitcoin, Solana, and more.

Midnight is bringing shielded privacy to major crypto ecosystems.

@IOHK_Charles Looks amazing

[Rick McCracken DIGI 🇺🇸 @RickMcCracken]

Cardano Ada is a digital commodity and not a security, and I am glad the Cardano Foundation, Stellar, Aptos, Ava Labs (Avalanche), Hedera and Chainlink are seeking to get official comment on our specific coins to cement the understanding. Definitely a good idea 💯

[Kneeco @LifeIsFunThankU]

@LaPetiteADA @MidnightNtwrk @trondao @solana @googlecloud @Cardano @BlockdaemonHQ @AlphaTONCapital @shieldedtech @MoneyGram @eToro How does CodiNetwork network use the Midnight network? Real question and thank you.

Thank you to my Dutch viewers for finding the video where they clipped me into the Eva talk show intro.

Only a little bit of crypto branding made it into it

[Patrick Tobler @Padierfind]

As a Drep I've voted yes on this because I have full trust in Trivolve Tech & I believe this proposal overal will bring more ADA back into the treasury than it takes.

I also believe the following parts here in particular are interesting. 70% of the revenue (on top of the transaction fee) is going to the Cardano treasury.

@MarioNawfal Does @MarioNawfal get paid for these posts? It sure feels like it.

[Kneeco @LifeIsFunThankU]

Cardano's eUTXO model was designed with this philosophy from the start. The computation for creating transactions happens off-chain, and the chain just verifies that it follows the rules... In simple terms, it was already designed in the direction Ethereum is talking about. Ultimately, I think the future is networks that don't compute everything themselves, but lightly and reliably verify.

비탈릭이 말하는 건, 이더리움이 계산은 오프체인에서 하고 온체인에서는 검증만 하는 방향으로 간다는 것임. 이게 시장 전체의 큰 방향이될 듯...

왜냐하면 지금 구조에서는 암호 연산에 쓰이는 데이터가 전부 블록에 들어가야 하는데, 그 공간이 한정돼 있기 때문임. 비탈릭 말로는 PeerDAS와 blob을 다 써도 초당 8MB 정도가 현실적인 한계임. 그래서 무거운 연산은 유저 기기에서 직접 계산해서 STARK 증명으로 만들고, 체인은 '계산이 됐다는 사실과 결과'만 확인하자는 게 EIP-8288의 핵심인 듯...

나는 이게 장기적으로 블록체인 네트워크들이 가는 방향이라고 생각함.

특히 AI가 발전하면서 오프체인에서 처리하는 프로세스를 구현하는 건 점점 쉬워지고 있고, 증명 생성 기술도 발전하고 있음.

즉, 체인이 모든 걸 직접 계산할 이유가 갈수록 사라지고 있음...

매번 UTXO무새가 되는 것 같아서 그만하고 싶은데... 카르다노의 eUTXO 모델이 처음부터 이 철학으로 설계됐음. 트랜잭션을 만드는 계산은 오프체인에서 하고, 체인은 그게 규칙에 맞는지만 검증함...

쉽게 말해서, 이미 이더리움이 말하는 방향으로 설계되었다는 것임.

결국 체인이 다 계산하는 네트워크가 아니라, 가볍고 확실하게 검증하는 네트워크가 미래라 생각함.

This absolutely nerd sniped me. Young me used to daydream about stuff like this.

The future is here, and it’s really cool.

[Kneeco @LifeIsFunThankU]

@ketogods @MSBIntel @MidnightNtwrk @BenB_CogBlx You mentioned it was fabricated, that is proof it wasn't, which means you were wrong.

[Kneeco @LifeIsFunThankU]

Yes — the core claim holds up under verification.

Midnight’s official account posted the announcement, naming their Chief Technical Advisor @BenB_CogBlx (Ben Beckmann) as joining a panel with CertiK CEO Ronghui Gu and IBM’s Connor O’Shea at CertiK’s NYC Open House on October 22.
