Charles Hoskinson Unveils Nightframes, an AI-Centric Vision Beyond Smart Contracts

  • —Nightframes are described as a private, always-on computer that runs programs and is provable
  • —The concept envisions persistent AI agents instead of smart contracts with predefined instructions
  • —Hoskinson cited an AI that flagged more than 115 "vampire subscriptions" across his accounts
  • —The idea ties to the Midnight blockchain, whose mainnet launched in March 2026
Why it matters: Cardano is pushing into AI agents and private computing, potentially sharpening L1 competition for the emerging agent economy.
