The price of Cardano‘s ADA, with a most impertinent surge of 5.2%, has reached a sum of $0.70, accompanied by a trading volume that has, in the last four and twenty hours, swelled by a most vulgar 40%. While this price action alone might cause a stir amongst the less discerning, according to Mr. Charles Hoskinson, a gentleman not entirely devoid of ambition, something of far greater consequence is brewing behind the scenes, threatening to reshape the Cardano ecosystem entirely. One shudders to think! π±
Here, dear reader, is Mr. Charles Hoskinson’s Midnight scheme, laid bare for your perusal! Prepare yourselves for revelations! π
JUST IN: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says “if Midnight is successful, it’s the single biggest economic event in the history of Cardano.”

Cardano X Midnight = Mass Adoption? A Question for the Ages! π€
During a recent, and no doubt self-aggrandizing, AMA (Ask Me Anything), Mr. Hoskinson referred to the Midnight protocol as the most significant economic development in Cardano’s history. Designed, as it is, to enable cross-chain DeFi and confidential smart contracts, Midnight aims to connect Cardano, Bitcoin, and other blockchains through a novel infrastructure powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. One can only hope it is not as complicated as it sounds! π
He described the trio of Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight as a potential “triumvirate” capable of solving complex financial problems. By combining Bitcoin-grade security with Cardano’s smart contract flexibility, Midnight could create a new standard for scalable and secure blockchain interoperability. A bold claim, indeed! Let us see if it bears fruit. π€¨
Fairgate and Operator Economy Set the Foundation: Or So They Say! π
Midnight’s infrastructure will be supported by Fairgate, a modular stack that combines Cardano-native tools like Hydra and Blockfrost, as well as experimental efforts such as Thundercloud. Anyone running a full node or light client with the right stack can become an operator, facilitating transactions with either high speed or deep security, depending on user preference. A veritable cornucopia of options, wouldn’t you agree? π§
Mr. Hoskinson confirmed the use of BitVMX to transition Fairgate toward supporting Bitcoin Script and RISC-V, enabling long-term scalability secured by Bitcoin’s base layer. One trusts this will not lead to any undue complications. π
ADA Airdrop 2025: A Shower of Riches? Perhaps! π€
The Midnight Foundation plans to launch a Token Generation Event in the coming weeks, with ADA holders receiving the largest airdrop share. Other chains, including Ethereum, Solana, and XRP Ledger, will also participate. A generous gesture, if I may say so myself! π
Meanwhile, Mr. Hoskinson confirmed ongoing discussions with global asset manager Franklin Templeton, suggesting that institutional interest in Cardano and Midnight is building. As the Midnight Foundation becomes operational, Cardano’s vision of secure, interoperable finance may be closer than ever. One can only hope it lives up to the hype! π
