We just performed the first Atomic Swap between Cardano and Bitcoin in Mainnet.

This means native BTC was traded for native ADA.

0.0001 $BTC swapped for 50 $ADA

Bitcoin is on Cardano 🧡 ↔ 💙

SEBI stakepool is about to close another successful epoch with 4 blocks minted.

Average ROI in the past 22 epochs is around 2.5-3% which makes SEBI stakepool one of the most profitable stakepools on Cardano.

$NIGHT rewards coming soon🫡

Selective Disclosure vs Zero-Knowledge Proofs on Midnight

What’s the difference, and why Midnight stands out

Privacy on blockchains isn’t just about hiding everything. Real privacy is about control, choosing what to reveal, to whom, and when. This is where Zero-Knowledge proofs and selective disclosure come in. Midnight uses both, but in a way that’s more practical and future-proof than most networks.

Let’s break it down simply.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK proofs): “Trust me, it’s valid”

Zero-Knowledge proofs allow you to prove something is true without revealing the underlying data.

On Midnight, ZK proofs are used to:

Prove a transaction is valid

Prove rules or conditions were met

Update state securely

Enforce access control

All without exposing sensitive details like balances, identities, or business logic.

Think of it like this:
You prove you followed the rules — but nobody sees your homework.

ZK proofs are powerful, but by themselves, they’re binary:

Either you reveal nothing

Or you reveal everything outside the proof

And in the real world, that’s not always enough.

Selective Disclosure: “I’ll show you only what you need”

Selective disclosure is about intentional transparency.

Instead of hiding everything forever, Midnight lets users and applications:

Reveal specific pieces of information

To specific parties..

For specific reasons..

For example:

A user can prove compliance without exposing private data

A company can share audited info without revealing trade secrets

A DAO member can verify eligibility without doxxing themselves

Selective disclosure doesn’t replace ZK proofs. it builds on top of them.

So what’s the real difference?

ZK proofs answer: “Is this true?”

Selective disclosure answers: “What am I willing to reveal, and to whom?”

ZK proofs give you privacy by default.
Selective disclosure gives you control by design.

What makes Midnight special

Most privacy chains focus only on hiding data.

Midnight focuses on usable privacy.

Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Dual-layer privacy
Midnight combines ZK proofs and selective disclosure instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all privacy model.

2. Regulation-aware privacy
Midnight acknowledges a reality others ignore:
Sometimes, privacy must coexist with compliance. Selective disclosure makes that possible without breaking decentralization.

3. Programmable privacy
Developers can define when, how, and to whom information can be revealed directly at the protocol level.

4. Future-proof design
Midnight’s approach scales beyond simple payments into real-world use cases:

DeFi

DAOs

Enterprise workflows

Identity and access control

Privacy that works only in theory doesn’t survive long. Privacy that adapts does.

Now here's the big picture

Zero-Knowledge proofs give midnight privacy guarantees.
Selective disclosure gives Midnight practical flexibility.

Together, they create something rare in crypto:

A blockchain where privacy isn’t just protected. it’s usable, configurable, and sustainable.

And that’s why Midnight’s privacy model isn’t just innovative.
it’s designed to age well.

[Cardano YOD₳ @JaromirTesar]

As a DRep, I firmly oppose burning ADA coins.

Some have suggested burning $ADA coins from the Treasury, but that would be a terrible mistake.

Approximately 3.3% of the total ADA supply is in the treasury.

Burning a small amount of these coins might have a short-term impact on ADA's price, but the long-term effect would be negligible.

Consider what we could achieve with 1.5 billion ADA.

We could launch several more Catalyst Funds, use ADA for liquidity in DeFi, accelerate the development of scalability technologies, fund the deployment of USDC and USDT on #Cardano, and even invest in marketing.

There are countless ways to spend this ADA to ensure Cardano's success. The worst thing we could do is destroy the very resource that can finance these initiatives.

ADA is a scarce resource, with a maximum supply of 45 billion coins. Like #Bitcoin, Cardano does not have infinite coin inflation.

Burned ADA will never re-enter circulation.

Apart from fees, the primary source of income for the treasury is the ADA in the reserve, which totals approximately 7.8 billion ADA. Of this amount, around 20%—or about 1.56 billion ADA—will be gradually transferred to the treasury.

The ADA in the treasury represents a financial value that can be transformed into other values beneficial to the ecosystem. We should view it as an opportunity to invest wisely in the ecosystem, ensuring some ADA is returned or that the value gained significantly contributes to our success.

We must never burn even a single ADA from the treasury.

[Cardano Community @Cardano]

𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙤 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮,

We would like to share with you important updates about the future of https://t.co/YeDjmuW4Zn. 🔎

As the original IOG explorer reached end of life, the team at the Cardano Foundation has decided not to replace it with the version currently deployed at https://t.co/eet5r0HLsO, but rather 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗥𝗟 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

As of yesterday, https://t.co/E8JRCvk824 is a landing page which lists the excellent explorers developed over the years by the Cardano community along with the Explorer developed by the Cardano Foundation.

Deep links to block and transaction pages have also been implemented so that legacy links or links from Central Exchanges will continue to be supported.

Visitors will be in fact able to decide on which of the supported community explorers they want to visualise the content of such deep links.

A shuffle mechanism has been additionally implemented to change the order of the explorers at each load of the landing page.

If you notice any of the explorers being missing, please feel free to submit a feature request on GitHub.

We also want to take this opportunity to thank all the incredible people who have worked on all the explorers all the time. Your work has been truly outstanding!

[Cardano YOD₳ @JaromirTesar]

The table shows the estimated income to the #Cardano treasury per epoch from monetary expansion (0,3% from the reserve).

We can disregard the fee for the next 1-3 years, as it can range between 30,000 and 200,000 $ADA per epoch.

With each epoch, the reserve depletes, resulting in less ADA being transferred from the reserve to the treasury.

In 2025, the treasury's revenue is expected to be approximately 300 million ADA.

In 2025, Catalyst will consume roughly 200 million ADA if there are 4 funds with the same subsidy (50 million ADA each).

To avoid a deficit, we can spend around 100 million ADA in 2025.

Additionally, we should consider rewarding DReps and CC members.

As long as Cardano is to be in the hands of the community, it will be necessary to cover the costs of research and development of the protocol - that is, to pay IOG.

In other words, we really do not have 200M ADA for a single proposal.

[HOSKY @hoskytoken]

The @3utxoCapital Leak & Response a 🧵

The recent request for 200M ADA from 3UTXO and Waffle Capital has sparked significant concern within the Cardano community. The issues go beyond the amount—they reveal a troubling disconnect from the community.

It’s ABOUT to be $ADA SEASON

How do I know this? HISTORICALLY ADA has performed BEST when Bitcoin dominance drops.

Pay attention to this monthly chart below 👇🏾 especially to how it closes in a few days.

BITCOIN Dominance is rejecting at the multi year trend line dating back to NOV 2016. As you can see in every cycle bitcoin rejects right here.

At the same time this rejection is taking place, look at the indicators :

RSI has a sharp curve down, ready to head to the downside.

Stochastic RSI has crossed down as well, blue line over orange line, BEARISH.

MACD has topped out and is converging to head into a BEARISH cross down.

Get ready, in the next few weeks ADA & Altcoins will RALLY HARD INTO OUR FIRST ALTSEASON this cycle.

Stay tuned I’ll give you an update on this charts monthly close.

🏘️ Real estate is one of the most common and largest asset classes.

However, it also has several limitations including liquidity, a lack of transparency in certain geographical locations, high financial barriers, and more.

Some of these drawbacks can be solved through tokenization which can fractionalize ownership and open market access to more buyers and sellers.

Let’s dive deeper into how tokenization can solve existing problems in the real estate asset class, and its future in the age of blockchain.
