Was interesting, is it still the plan to reward stakepools on cardano for validation of midnight transactions?

That’s all one needs (on-chain), to get trustless bridges, trustless rollups and other types of scalability, and more.

Cardano is taking a similar approach with Midnight. Presumably we put a ZKP validator on Cardano mainchain, and all proofs are generated on the Midnight side...

So much is going to change, when Midnight is here. The fact that #Cardano remains right in the heart of everything is going to be amazing. I think this is lost on many.

We already have PoS on PoW with #Fortuna, so the entire #Crypto ecosystem is in for a big jolt.

[Trigger warning ⚠️]

I feel like Midnight might just be Cardano "done right", taking into account years of learning from other ecosystems as well as IOHK research.

That's why we have the phrase 4th generation blockchain.

That's why it has its own token, and could really have…

The question/answer format was nice.

But I still don't get it, is Midnight a Cardano L2 or a completely separate chain?

It's a matter of perspective. Midnight will have functionality that Cardano doesn't. Same vice versa. It makes sense to not cram everything on top of Cardano, as it would require a lot of changes on the base protocol. This way it's best of both worlds.

No. You can’t have midnight without Cardano.

It‘s definetly a very exciting project, but I wonder how the „cardano remains right in the heart of everything will play out“. I just don‘t know how useful the synergies are, or rather, midnight being much more useful and no one will use Cardano…

Midnight will put Cardano on the map

It seems to me like you are moving away from Cardano and towards Midnight chain now. What about all those investors in Cardano's future? (playing devil's advocate here, but people need to understand if they should sell ada for Midnight or not)

I will support any project helping to building the #Cardano ecosystem. I understand what #Midnight brings to the table and I welcome its introduction.

Have you not noticed how secure, reliable and decentralised #Cardano $ADA is?

From my understanding, Midnight is implementing a side chain to the existing Cardano network. Utilitising it's reliability and security, whilst delivering the protection side to users.

Watching to see

Sidechain metadata will be added to Cardano and Midnight explorers.

The midnight side chain pays rent to Cardano L1. Ada holders benefit from the distribution of transaction fees. The fees are in Dust plus ADA.

I’m wondering if the need may result from a much longer bootstrapping phase of #Cardano than initially anticipated where $ADA tail emissions don’t provide enough runway for Midnight to get going🤷‍♂️ thoughts?

Clear and concise. I didnt realize the scope and importance of Midnight until this. Got me more excited for the future of Cardano.

Isn't that what @IOHK_Charles said about Cardano years ago? Where are the governments and corporations on Cardano today, beside the paid shills like Dish network and useless MOUs with the poorest African countries? Why would Midnight be any different?

The Midnight partner chain will pay DUST to the Cardano SPOs and their delegators that help secure it. #Cardano

Midnight will offer *optional* transparency to developers and users to facilitate regulated activity. #Cardano

Midnight can be a ticket to the crypto for businesses and banks.

#Cardano $ADA

Midnight is the first 4th generation blockchain. 🕛

Definitely worth a listen. #Cardano

We had a #MidNight spaces almost 24 hours back and yet there is no drama or unnecessary controversy? Come on #ExCommunityMembooooors... please do something... We have expectations from you!

Most importantly the pathetic bunch that don't like #Cardano but spend majority of their…

Cardano's "Midnight" blockchain is setting the standard of excellence for data protection services in the entire crypto digital industry. Good luck to others!

While Charles Hoskinson aimed to stir up excitement for Midnight's launch, community reactions were mixed. Discover why?

Cardano Midnight will be multi-consensus (POS+POW)?!?! Is this possible?!?! You have my attention!

I am quite annoyed at $COTI for the gCOTI debacle. It was and it an obvious grift dressed up as a functional asset. But I do not think #Midnight is the same. It offers different functionalities that #Cardano while using #Cardano as its settlement layer. It is too early to judge.

Midnight gains access to Cardano's SPOs, Cardano SPOs gain $DUST in return, alongside ADA.

Is midnight going to be a Cardano native token or a different ledger?
