We’ve been tracking Midnight<\/a> for a while, and the shape is starting to come into focus. There’s been some concern that it would not be coupled with Cardano, but that’s misplaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be a side chain and use Cardano as the initial basis for the block security, but bringing together a number of research threads that IOG have been pursuing. These include Kachina<\/a> for privacy and Minotaur<\/a> for combined consensus mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPOs will be able to spin up Midnight nodes, using a combination of new Midnight code and existing Cardano technology such as the chain indexer DBsync. In doing so they and their delegators will be rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
