Nucast is exploring a future where physical AI creates verifiable, tamper-resistant records of work using Cardano 👀
You see, certain repetitive jobs are difficult to staff and expensive to perform.
Physical AI can change that.
Machines that can see, learn and adapt are beginning to take on work that traditional automation couldn't.
This is not just theoretical, we've built the hardware, the AI is trained and we are operating in a real-world production environment.
More soon!
Ascend has been live in closed mainnet for 1 week!
Here's a weekly update:
Closed Mainnet Volume:
Mainnet launched with a $25 USD deposit limit. Since launching, we've done $363,755 in trading volume.
New Markets Coming to Closed Mainnet:
We will be adding perps trading to our closed mainnet by request of MM and LP partners, as well as strong overall demand for this.
The first market will be BTC, coming soon.
Testnet Trading Competition:
SZN1 of our trading competition ends June 28.
The top 10 wallets will receive a share of 10K USD in ASCEND. Prizes will be vested over a 3 month period.
Front End Optimizations:
We've deployed several front-end updates and fixes. Customization of profit-cards, including World Cup themed cards is a pending release with more to come.
We'd like to thank all of our Mainnet OGs for their time and patience as we've worked to navigate the very beginning of DeFi on Midnight.
Excited to continue building on our foundations and solidifying Ascend as a full-suite DeFi monster!

Our DEX provides non-expiring spot liquidity for users who want to swap, hedge or rebalance collateral.
Midnight enables things that were impossible in DeFi before:
→ Selective disclosure for regulatory compliance
→ Institutional Dark Pools on DEX: confidential large volume trades
→ Private OTC-style Spot Trading for Sensitive Assets
→ MEV-resistant & Front-Running Proof Trading
We are bringing you the full Midnight DeFi stack under one roof, with insane speed and secure ZK-executed trades.
