@IOHK_Charles @IOHK_Charles Look at the maintenance proposal

You have ~46m Ada, 74% of budget for "Developement". Development of what? That is a huge chunk, break budget down for each dev goal & include them in your momentum blog post as well.

@IOHK_Charles @IOHK_Charles I'm shadow banned on youtube but I left a comment on your video that doesn't show up outside my account

@markedtofuture @IOHK_Charles Genius Act never required a banking license to pay yield. If that were to happen it would come from the Clarity Act which hasn't passed yet.

@MrParanormal39 @MrParanormal39 It says your inbox is closed and you need to update your message settings. Probably to stop bots from bothering you.

[Ryan Thackston @thackston_ryan]

@MrParanormal39 I saw some of your videos on youtube. I started learning to develop on midnight recently. Your Discord link doesn't work anymore, I'd link to DM you if that's cool.

Hydra v2 (alpha) is here!

This release simplifies the Hydra Head protocol by removing the commit phase entirely: heads now open directly, and funds are added incrementally via deposits.

This eliminates collectCom and abort transactions, resolves the long-standing "non-abortable head" issue, and reduces lifecycle costs for most use cases.

More details: https://t.co/aUV4OHumW2

Please try it out and give us feedback!

Midnight mainnet is coming.

On the #ConsensusHK stage, we shared that Midnight mainnet will officially go live before the end of March. This marks a major milestone and the beginning of a live, production network designed to support early applications built around selective disclosure and real-world privacy.

Mainnet is foundational. It provides a stable environment for builders to launch, test, and iterate, while setting the stage for rapid protocol and tooling expansion ahead.

Join the conversation LIVE as we unpack how to get started with Midnight mainnet and what to expect.
