Midnight's NEW roadmap is here! @MidnightNtwrk
And it's absolutely PACKED!

Let's talk about what it means for you! 👇

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Last year, one Hydra head processed 3.5B NIGHT during @MidnightNtwrk’s Glacier Drop. It also exposed a few bugs along the way.

We replayed 24,576 claims on Hydra v2. The result?

⚡ 1.9× more claims per second
⚡ 2.3× faster settlement

And a much simpler way to run a head.

@IOHK_Charles addresses Japan’s N.Avenue club at its roundtable on protecting privacy in the AI era. The future of finance isn’t TradFi vs. Web3. It’s the best of both, the trust and liquidity of traditional finance, with the speed and privacy of Web3.

“The future will be decentralized.” —Charles

ラウンドテーブルで、Charlesがビデオメッセージを寄せました。
金融の未来は従来の金融かWeb3かの二択ではなく、その両方の長所を兼ね備えたものになる。
自分が誰であるかを明かさずに、必要な事実だけを証明する。それを可能にするのがMidnightです。

Great to see our own @sharan_konerira at @token2049 talking about what Hydra can offer Cardano builders.

Fast, frequent transactions off-chain, with final settlement on Cardano. Plenty to explore!

次期ハードフォーク「Dijkstra」で導入予定。処理能力はまず現行の約3〜5倍、その後メインネットでの検証結果とガバナンス承認を踏まえて約10〜15倍を目指します。

Being able to speak, organise and transact safely matters online.

Midnight’s Freedom Fighters explores the digital infrastructure behind those freedoms, with Leopoldo López. The trailer is out now. Coming October 22.

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]

Freedom is the sum of many things.

But what happens when the freedom to speak, organize, and live on your own terms is under threat?

We're exploring what it takes to fight for freedom, and why the future of freedom depends on the digital infrastructure built to protect it.

The five steps of the Leios rollout:

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Leios is coming to Cardano with the Dijkstra hard fork.

The goal? More room for transactions as network demand grows.

The rollout will happen in stages, starting at 3-5x today's throughput and aiming for 10-15x as mainnet results allow.

Here's how it will work 👇
