[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

Exploring #Cardano more actively this week.

Staking, testing DEXs, and exploring interoperability ahead of @MidnightNtwrk.

Privacy + programmable assets could unlock entirely new #DeFi & #RWA use cases.

Curious to hear what builders are focusing on right now. 👇🏻

@IOGroup @Dune Great step forward 👏🏻

@IOGroup @Dune Great news! 👏🏻

@corroonian @erisquoirin @KennyWo15118154 @lace_io @MidnightNtwrk I got this too 🚨⚠️

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@erisquoirin @corroonian @KennyWo15118154 @lace_io @MidnightNtwrk @eternlwallet ⚠️ Careful… There are phishing sites mimicking Midnight claim flows (often using https://t.co/ALdXPAPjBd or unusual domains) asking for seed phrase/manual connect.

This is a scam pattern.

🚨 Legit Cardano dApps NEVER require your seed.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

⚠️ Phishing attempt today via fake “Midnight claim” site

→ asked for seed phrase 👀🚨

No legit dApp EVER asks for your seed ❌

👏🏻 Fortunately, #Cardano reduces some risks.

But phishing = chain agnostic
Security = user discipline

🚨 Fake Midnight airdrop claim site asking for seed phrase: https://t.co/k5j6BiVovn ⛔️

⚠️ User must never enter their seed.

I was contacted by an alleged Lace dev helping the Lace tribe…

@lace_io @MidnightNtwrk @IOGroup — you may want to look into this.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@RainaRavin Thanks Rhys, I appreciate the clarification. I haven’t completed the claim process yet.

I’ll reach out via DM 👍🏻

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@lace_io @MidnightNtwrk Is there a $NIGHT airdrop for Lace users?

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@lace_io @MidnightNtwrk Is there a $NIGHT airdrop for Lace users?

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@lace_io All of the above.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@Starknet feels instant… until you remember:

🔹 #L2 execution is fast
🔹 #L1 settlement is the real finality

Speed is UX
Finality is truth

Where do you draw the line?

#Starknet #Ethereum #Layer2 #DeFi

@DexHunterIO $NIGHT 🕛

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@TapTools Question: what does this NIGHT token actually represent?

It’s already listed on CMC, yet Midnight mainnet is about to launch this week — so I assume a new canonical NIGHT (and DUST) will be issued?

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@ruizdurazo @cursor_ai @benln @ftnabeelah @JNYBGR @pederzh @thisfounder Looks great 👀☕️ I’ll definitely try to join the next event in Zurich or Geneva.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@OneAmXYZ @IOGroup That’s a thoughtful design direction—selective disclosure UX is a hard problem.

Are you planning to make parts of the architecture or SDK publicly accessible for builders?

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@webisoft_ @OneAmXYZ Interesting to see Webisoft backing 1AM—strong signal for the Midnight ecosystem.

Early infra layers around privacy UX are starting to emerge.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@OneAmXYZ @IOGroup Building a wallet for Midnight is fundamentally different from traditional Web3 UX.

It’s not just asset management—it’s privacy management.

Can this be made intuitive for non-technical users? Let’s see ☺️

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@IOGroup Rational privacy is probably the missing layer between DeFi and institutional adoption.

The real challenge is not privacy itself—but making it programmable, auditable, and interoperable across ecosystems.

[Vincent Kunz @kunzdefi]

@MidnightNtwrk Ready 🙂
