Charles Hoskinson: Midnight Will Be Bigger Than Zcash

Midnight is a new project within Cardano that offers users more control over their personal data. The network focuses on privacy and aims to go beyond merely concealing cryptocurrency payments. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, expects that Midnight will eventually become larger than Zcash, the largest privacy coin that has existed since 2016. Active since March, Midnight operates as a separate network within the Cardano ecosystem and allows developers to build applications where some data is public while other data remains private. An example is age verification, where users can prove they are old enough without sharing their full date of birth. Hoskinson sees 2027 as a crucial year for Midnight, which offers more possibilities than just shielding payments, including applications in financial services and artificial intelligence. Unlike Zcash, which focuses on privacy in payments, Midnight aims to integrate privacy into various digital applications. The network has its own coin, NIGHT, and Hoskinson's involvement in the project may influence its success. The question remains how many developers and users Midnight will attract.
