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.
Ascend is end//game 🕛

@AscendPerps is built by an extremely capable team that has been building here for years, has held hackathons and events globally. They were at the Vietnam builder fest i couldn’t attend and even hosted a side event for the builders.
ASCEND is undeniably fire and being build at an insane pace.
I vouch for the team personally, They have helped me build my own side quest free of charge. that’s the type people they are. 🫶🏽
Disclaimer: Im not paid to post this or have been prompted or requested to post anything about it.
Transparency: I have taken part in the TGE, I rarely ever take part in token sales and am very exited for what’s to come. 👇🏾

Midnight DeFi is going nuclear!
It was mad fun shipping the first ever implementation of Charlie3 in a Midnight ZK Dapp. Our opensource implementation will set an example for future Charlie3 DeFi and ZK use cases.

Charli3Perps — Team Ascend
Charli3 Perp is a minimal implementation of perpetual trading using Charli3 oracle data. It connects verified on-chain ADA/USD price feed to pipeline executed with Midnight for orders, matching, and settlement.
The system reads live Charli3 oracle UTxOs, validates price and timestamp, builds an L1 anchor digest, and drives the full flow end to end, ensuring every trade and settlement step is directly tied to real on-chain oracle data, not synthetic pricing.

SYNCAI — Team Syncai
charli3-js is the first TypeScript SDK for the Charli3 oracle on Cardano. Until now the only official SDK was in Python, which is fine for backend scripts but useless if you're building a Next.js dapp, an AI agent (Masumi, Claude, OpenAI, etc), or anything that runs in a browser.
Published to npm: npm install charli3-js.
Full docs: https://t.co/77YFNO4lUS
With charli3-js you can read the live price and, more importantly, pull a fresh one onto chain in a single call. submitRound2(lucid, "ADA/USD") collects signed quotes from the Charli3 feed nodes, runs IQR consensus, and posts a fresh aggregate tx to Cardano. That is the whole pull oracle flow in one line. The SDK handles the Lucid plumbing, CBOR encoding, Ed25519 sig checks, and slot-rounded datum internally so you do not have to think about any of it.
npm install charli3-js, three method calls, and you have a working pull oracle integration within minutes. A very clean dev experience as any TypeScript library, running everywhere JS runs: React Server Components, Lucid in the browser, Node routes, LLM tool calls.
Framework:
- getPrice(pair) reads the classic push oracle feed.
- getOdvReference(pair) reads the on-chain ODV pull-oracle aggregate, including freshness.
- submitRound2(lucid, pair) pulls signed quotes from Charli3 feed nodes, runs IQR consensus, and posts a fresh aggregate tx to Cardano in one call.
To prove it works end-to-end I wrote an Aiken price_gated_payout validator and a live Next.js demo on Vercel: connect Lace ‚Üí deposit 3 tADA ‚ refresh the ODV price on chain (Round-2) ‚ claim, all gated by a real oracle reading. I also shipped a GPT-4o-mini AI agent that settles USD invoices in ADA by calling the SDK as a tool, and a skill.md spec so any LLM can plug the oracle into its tool loop.
