The @MidnightNtwrk is live on mainnet!

Years of research and engineering from a team that spared no effort to redefine what privacy at the protocol level actually means, and that’s just the beginning.

We couldn’t be prouder. Huge kudos to everyone who helped make this possible.

Network milestones worth marking:

▶️ ~4 million blocks produced on Testnet-02, our most stable testnet to date. This paved the way for preprod and preview as we continue progressing toward mainnet.

▶️ 500M+ NIGHT redeemed through Glacier Drop redemptions and counting.

Onward. 👏

Mainnet is coming, and we're proud to be a part of this historic moment for the @MidnightNtwrk !

ICYMI: @shieldedtech joins @MidnightNtwrk as a Federated Node Operator, which brings the network to four as we work toward ten strategic launch partners securing core infrastructure ahead of mainnet in March.

Born from the cryptographic expertise of @IOGroup, Shielded is the engineering force behind Midnight’s privacy-enhancing protocol — building the zero-knowledge foundations that make scalable, compliant data privacy possible.

With federated operators now including @googlecloud, @AlphaTONCapital, @BlockdaemonHQ, and Shielded Technologies, Midnight is launching with trusted infrastructure designed for scale, resilience, and responsible decentralization.

More partners coming soon. 👀

If you are API mining, you need to consolidate your addresses. Otherwise, you'll have huge transaction fees. Watch Bob's video

Hey @midnightfdn @IOHK_Charles After we spoke today, I thought the people could benefit from some advice on the donation function of Scavenger Mine. Whether you are using the Scavenger API or using multiple browsers with multiple destination addresses, this video is for you! Documentation is at https://t.co/tarRwFgyL9

🔐 6 days until Midnight Summit:

Get ready for “The Next Frontier in Privacy & Security” a session exploring the innovations redefining trust, compliance, and data protection.

From ZK proofs and selective disclosure to privacy-preserving AI and post-quantum readiness, this one’s for the builders shaping the future of private computation.

We are aware of an issue affecting Scavenger Mine. Users may experience an inability to connect and/or see 0 incorrectly on their estimated NIGHT claims. Solutions completed are recorded and secure. The team is working to resolve the issue and will update when it is resolved.

Thank you for your continued patience.

[bob blessing-hartley @ShieldedBob]

Had a great time chatting with @Dapp_Central about Glacier Drop, where we are now with Scavenger Mine, and what’s ahead as we move toward mainnet.
We’re building the foundation for real privacy use cases on @midnightntwrk — and this is just the start.

I am utterly amazed at the level of participation in the pre-registration period! It took us a couple of minutes longer than we expected to generate the entropy need for a secure launch based on the volume of registrations but we are live now and seeing great participation! We will keep our eyes on it to ensure that things keep running smoothly!

[Midnight Foundation @midnightfdn]

We’re seeing higher-than-expected participation in Scavenger Mine.

The system is finalizing registration records and beginning to generate the first challenges — a process that’s rolling out as participants are confirmed.

Already 20k participants are actively submitting solutions. 🧩

Thank you for your patience as setup completes.

NOTE: This will not affect the amount of NIGHT tokens shared.
