🌙 Cardano’s Midnight: 1M Miners in the Shadows! 🌌

by

Ah, the whispers of the cryptosphere! 🦉 The Cardano Midnight Network, that enigmatic sidechain draped in the velvet cloak of privacy, has reached a milestone so grand, even the Master and Margarita would raise an eyebrow. 🍷 Behold, 1 million mining addresses have emerged from the shadows, like a chorus of cats materializing at midnight. 🐱✨

ADA, the steadfast sentinel of this realm, stands at $0.54, with a 24-hour volatility of 0.7%. Its market cap? A modest $19.67 billion, while its 24-hour volume hums at $1.08 billion. Numbers, numbers, always the numbers-yet they tell a tale as rich as a Bulgakov novel. 📈

Sebastien Guillemot, the CTO with a name fit for a character in The Master and Margarita, took to the digital pulpit (X, formerly Twitter) to proclaim the triumph. 🗣️ “~200,000 direct claims, >1,000,000 addresses mining,” he declared, his words echoing through the cryptoverse. “So many NIGHT holders already. Obvious bet: more are coming.” 🌠

~200,000 direct claims >1,000,000 addresses mining- large dApps (ex: Minswap) distributing tokens- KYC’d sites (Kraken, Gate, more coming) distributing.

So many NIGHT holders already.

Obvious bet: more NIGHT holders are coming.

The Midnight Network, Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain, is no mere trifle. It wields the power of zero-knowledge proofs, a sorcery that ensures transactions are both verifiable and confidential. 🧙‍♂️ The NIGHT token, with its fixed supply of 24 million, is the lifeblood of this protocol. Its “Glacier Drop” airdrop, launched in August 2025, targeted 30 million wallets across eight blockchain ecosystems-BTC, ETH, Cardano, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, XRP Ledger, and Brave. 🌐

Ah, but let us not forget the volatility of these digital realms! BTC stands at $103,402, with a 24-hour volatility of 0.2%, a market cap of $2.06 trillion, and a 24-hour volume of $59.13 billion. ETH, the rebellious sibling, trades at $3,394, with a 24-hour volatility of 0.8%, a market cap of $410.00 billion, and a 24-hour volume of $33.11 billion. 🌪️

Charles Hoskinson, the Cardano founder with a penchant for grand pronouncements, hailed the launch as a milestone, the culmination of six years of toil. 🏗️ “The road to Omega is full of challenges and surprises,” he mused, adding that Midnight is the key to scalability. And scalability, my dear reader, is the holy grail in this digital arena. 🏆

Leios Lite, the next iteration from Input Output Global, promises a 30-55x increase in throughput. Could Cardano finally rival the likes of SOL, which stands at $160.8, with a 24-hour volatility of 0.8%, a market cap of $88.93 billion, and a 24-hour volume of $5.72 billion? Only time will tell. ⏳

So, as the Midnight Network basks in its glory, remember: in the cryptosphere, nothing is certain-except perhaps the inevitability of more miners emerging from the shadows. 🌙✨
