These activities dey change the state of the city wey dey run even when individual users log off. Agent creation still dey under the beta review process and available capacity.

The applications fit use cryptographic proofs to verify actions while dem limit which underlying information go become public. Midnight City dey give that technology one visible setting through the ongoing activity of the agents.

Agent-wallet integrations currently dey use Midnight Preview and Cardano Preprod test networks; dem no establish live ADA commerce by agents for Cardano mainnet.
