@BlakeSNeff@RealCandaceO This doesn't even make sense. Why "By the end of today"? This move is so blatantly disingenuous. So glad you guys are feeling the heat though.
Do you have any Zero Knowledge (ZK) proposals in Catalyst Fund14?
Drop them in the comments 👇
We are excited to see what you are building around ZK and privacy on CARDANO!
I bet probably a lot of people don't know about the benefits ZK would bring to Cardano.
Midnight is leaning into it, that we know - but more short educational posts about the benefits would go a long way.
Also, what is the best way to communicate this to DReps? I bet they have their DMs full...
To all Cardano DReps and ADA holders!
We urge you to support the ZK Bridge proposal by @eryxcoop – a critical step forward for Cardano’s ZK infrastructure.
While Ethereum and other competing ecosystems are far ahead in zero-knowledge (ZK) development – making it the centerpiece of their scalability and privacy roadmap – Cardano remains severely underdeveloped in this area.
Today, Cardano has only one Zk privacy protocol live on Mainnet (@ENCOINS1) and a handful of teams working on foundational ZK tools like Starstream and @zkFold . One of those teams is Eryx, which has already delivered multiple Catalyst-funded projects, is building with Aiken, and now proposes to develop a ZK Bridge – a core piece of infrastructure every blockchain needs.
This is a no-brainer proposal. If you are a DRep, we respectfully ask you to vote YES. If you're an ADA holder, ask your DRep to support ZK Bridge. And if you as Drep have any questions, the Eryx team is fully available to provide clarification and technical details.
Without this proposal and others, Cardano will fall dangerously behind in the ZK race. Let’s not let that happen.
Let’s bring privacy, scalability, and interoperability to Cardano. It will benefit the entire ecosystem, with more liquidity, more transactions, more TVL, more volume.
Let´s make it happen!

Sending $INDY (@Indigo_protocol) privately to our friend @$conrad from @adahandle using our V2 in Preprod. Send any CNT privately in Cardano L1? It's closer than ever.
We believe that ZK is arguably the most important cryptographic breakthrough of our time. It enables privacy, scalability, identity, and interoperability — all without compromising decentralization.
On the current 38 proposals, there are only two proposals focused on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology: @eryxcoop ZkBridge and @zkFold L2.
If Cardano wants to remain competitive in a multi-chain future, it must invest in ZK infrastructure today.
We ask all DReps to support both ZkBridge and ZkFold among other key proposals for our ecosystem.
Both ZkBridge and ZkFold proposals are building core ZK components that will unlock a new generation of decentralized applications on Cardano.
Don’t miss the chance to push Cardano forward where it truly matters!
Proof of Innocence on Cardano: Bringing Zero-Knowledge Privacy to Light 🔏
Adoption of crypto continues to grow steadily, but we surely need to prove legitimacy, whilst concealing details 🪪
1/3 🧵@eryxcoop, @modp_, and @ENCOINS1 unite to build a privacy solution for Cardano 🙌
BIG UPDATE ON V2
After carefully listening to the community, we’ve made an important decision: relying on a third-party rollup was not acceptable.
So, we’ve simplified the architecture to accelerate development and maintain control over the protocol.
The new V2 design is now undergoing extensive internal testing.
🔜 What’s next?
•Continued testing
•Integration of the delegation module
•UX/UI improvements
•External audit and security review
While we can’t commit to a launch date just yet, we felt it was the right time to share this with you.
Thank you for your ongoing support and patience —
Let’s Make ENCOINS Great again. 🥷🔐
🤝 As @phillip_pon revealed in his interview with @bigpey at @consensus2025, we’d like to make an important announcement.
✅ Today, we confirm the completion of removing our genesis ADA from our voting DRep profiles.
🔜 In its place, we will re-delegate this genesis ADA to a set of smaller, independent DReps in the community. These will be outside of the top 20 to support DReps who stand for something and give them a platform despite their size, thereby distributing the voting power. More details coming soon once we finalize the DReps that will be selected.
Ultimately, we believe these steps reflect our strong commitment to fostering goodwill through transparency and empowering the reflection of a more diverse range of voices within our community.
Follow us @emurgo_io for updates on this process.
Here’s the reality.
For weeks (even months) I’ve seen a coordinated and relentless campaign against @IOHK_Charles. Every week, it’s a new accusation, a fresh angle of attack.
But at every event I attend, like for example @consensus2025, I see something different: Charles standing up for all of us. Whether it’s masterfully moderating a panel with @erictrump, helping enable a historic Constitutional event, or doing his best to turn @MidnightNtwrk from an idea into a reality, he's out there doing the work.
We won’t always agree on everything, Charles. But from me, thank you; for what you do for Cardano, and for the broader blockchain space. RESPECT
Quick update on Proof of Innocence
🔐 The team has been developing a CLI application to run a Proof of Innocence (PoI) on the testnet. The application includes the core functionalities required for interacting with a PoI system, such as setting up an oracle, deploying a PoI contract, and validating submitted proofs. The proposal is in its final stages, and we expect to finalize and release the completed development soon.
Yes... Proof of Innocence is arriving to Cardano, stay tunned
