Cardano's Midnight Sees 9,100% Transaction Surge After Smart Contract Launch

  • —Transactions rose from 284 on Oct. 1 to 26,178 on Oct. 8, a 91x weekly increase
  • —Permissionless smart contracts went live on Midnight mainnet on Sept. 28
  • —Ledger v9 upgrade will bring private swaps and shielded tokens to Solana wallets
  • —Solana integration is on testnet, with mainnet planned alongside the v9 upgrade
Why it matters: The surge signals real demand for zero-knowledge privacy tooling, and the Solana integration could broaden Midnight's reach and utility for the NIGHT token.
