Ethereum Meets Cardano? Midnight Developer Spills the Tea 🤯

by

Ah, the age-old question: Can Ethereum and Cardano finally get along? Well, according to Sebastien Guillemot, the answer is a resounding “maybe”-but only if you’re willing to trust a privacy layer that sounds more like a fancy spa treatment than a blockchain protocol. 🧖‍♂️

Cardano and Ethereum: “Midnight Glue”

Guillemot explains that Midnight will act as a privacy layer-or, as I like to call it, “the blockchain version of a really good therapist.” Users can now interact across ecosystems without switching wallets, which is like saying you can eat dessert and main course at the same time. 🍰🥩

The Midnight team has already implemented a key cryptographic function. Let’s just say, if this were a movie, it would be the “I’ve got a plan” scene. 🎬

What if you could connect Ethereum and Cardano wallets directly from Midnight? 👀

Midnight is working towards exactly this! With hash function support being one key step we just completed ✅

No matter which wallet you have installed, privacy should be at your fingertip 👍

Midnight has likely completed the “hash function” needed to verify data from different blockchains. Think of it as the blockchain equivalent of a universal translator-except instead of Klingon, it speaks Keccak and Blake2b. 🤖

This will also include the ability to validate the right ownership of a wallet across both chains without compromising the private details of the users. Which is great, unless your private details are just a bunch of cat memes. 🐱

“No matter which wallet you have installed, privacy should be at your fingertips,” Guillemot emphasized. Because nothing says “trust us” like a promise that your data won’t be stolen-by us, anyway. 🔐

Shield Technologies is providing technical support, but the real magic happens in Midnight’s “privacy-first” smart contract layer. It’s like a bouncer for your crypto, but with more math and fewer sunglasses. 🕶️

The developer believes that the move is an expansion of Midnight’s vision as a privacy-focused Cardano sidechain. Which is just a fancy way of saying, “We’re not just a side project-we’re a side project with a plan.” 🧠

It will also build on its NIGHT token airdrop of over 50 million addresses. He observed that there might be a need to “invent some new tents” to accommodate the massive expansion about to occur. I’m assuming this is a metaphor for “we’re about to get busy, so grab a chair.” 🪑

Charles Hoskinson’s privacy vision for Midnight

Interestingly, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson had, in May 2025, highlighted how Midnight’s privacy layer could have real utility for billions of users. Because nothing says “I care about your privacy” like a guy who also sells you a lifetime supply of crypto. 💸

He explained a strategic partnership with Brave Wallet. Hoskinson noted that Brave’s 84 million users would benefit from cryptographic protection while online. Which is great, unless you’re just trying to watch cat videos. 🐶

Meanwhile, Midnight has continued to set milestones and record impressive growth as hype for privacy grows in the broader cryptocurrency sector. It recently soared by over 20% in price as trading volume spiked by 81.94% to $8.98 billion. Some of Midnight’s growth is also fueled by strategic partnerships. Because nothing says “we’re successful” like having friends. 🤝
