The Midnight network is moving into its next stage.
Today, permissionless smart contract deployment is live on Midnight mainnet, giving builders more freedom to deploy and enabling contracts to programmatically deploy other contracts.
And that’s not all in our latest State of the Network:
👉 @GeroWallet 2.7.1 brings full Midnight dApp support
👉 @googlecloud launched a Midnight testnet faucet
👉 @Noctis_Zone is live on Preprod
👉 @Urafinance is testing DUST sponsorship for applications
👉 37 developers completed the @VIA_Labs cross-chain sprint
👉 @Midnight_kor Hackathon wraps this week

GeroWallet v2.7.2 has been submitted to the Chrome Web Store!
It restores @MidnightNtwrk support after the previous mainnet indexer was retired (Apologies for the hiccup this may cause to existing 2.7.1 users), with updated connections and fixes for transaction syncing.
The update also includes further improvements and supported localizations
Full release notes to be published once the new version is live
Rolling out once the store review is complete.
Tomorrow, 4PM UTC - Gero Wallet x Nightforce Community Talks on the @MidnightNtwrk Discord.
A live look at Midnight inside Gero: DUST batteries, fees one wallet pays for another, proofs your way, dApp proving. Then AMA on Midnight, DUST and what's next.

For Midnight devs who want to check out new wallets, Gero is one of our newest partners. I absolutely loved the onboarding experience! Test it out and let me know what you think. https://t.co/0B0vmGxfvK
2/ We broke down the DUST cycle last month:
NIGHT
👇
DUST generation
👇
transaction capacity
Gero brings those mechanics directly into the wallet, so users can register a DUST destination, manage it, and track generation without leaving the app.

3/ And this week, Gero 2.7.1 takes another step.
DUST generated from NIGHT held on Cardano can now count toward Midnight transaction fees.
Shielded (private) balances now work on mainnet and preprod, alongside sending, receiving and viewing Midnight tokens including USDM.

1/ NIGHT generates DUST.
DUST pays for transactions on Midnight.
But what if you never had to think about the mechanics? 🤔
That’s the idea behind abstraction.
And @GeroWallet is putting it into practice. 🧵

GeroWallet v2.7.1 is live.
Major Midnight improvements, better swaps, expanded Cardano governance, and a faster, more organized wallet.
Here’s what changed and what it means for you
Blockchain shouldn't be complicated to use.
Wallet setup, seed phrases, gas management and bridging can all happen in the background.
See how @Dynamic_xyz, @VIA_Labs, @GeroWallet, @SundaeSwap and others across the Midnight ecosystem are using abstraction to make the experience simpler for users. 👇

Lots of wallets? Keeping them organized is about to get easier.
Gero v2.7.1 adds:
- Favorites pinned to the top
- Drag-and-drop sorting
- Collapsible categories
- Search by wallet name, wallet address, or stake address
Rolling out to all users later this week.
We are already cooking Gerowallet's next version, focusing on Cardano Governance, @MidnightNtwrk improvements and general bug fixes.

@GeroWallet 👨🍳 Cooking something up: CIP-45 support for GeroWallet, and it works like a charm.
If your dApp uses the @Cardano_CF connect-wallet components, you already get CIP-45 for free.
In the video: a dApp in Brave on my phone connecting to GeroWallet on my desktop.
TapTools received $187,000 from the @builder__dao in March of this year, then disappeared. Now you come back with a vibe-coded NFT slop while farming sympathy from the same community that funded you.
The fact that people are cheering this on is exactly why this ecosystem keeps getting rinsed.
In case you forgot: GeroWallet has cashback. 👀
Just keep the GeroWallet extension installed and shop online like you normally would.
When you visit a supported store, GeroWallet automatically lets you know cashback is available.
Just shop, get the popup, and earn $ADA
