Midnight Data Don Go Live for Dune and Mainnet Don Upgrade to Node 1.0.0

Midnight public network data dey available now through Dune, and their Mainnet and Preprod environments dey operate for Node 1.0.0. The July State of the Network still include Token Terminal integration and regulatory submissions wey cover privacy-preserving compliance for United States and United Kingdom.

These changes dey give researchers new ways to examine Midnight public activity, provide builders documented production stack, and extend the network zero-knowledge architecture enter regulatory discussions.

Dune and Token Terminal Add Midnight Analytics

Midnight na privacy-enhancing Layer 1 and the first partner chain wey launch inside the Cardano ecosystem. Their hybrid ledger dey allow developers combine publicly verifiable blockchain state with shielded data, while zero-knowledge proofs dey enable specific facts to confirm without exposing the underlying information.

The Dune integration dey make Midnight public network state available through queries, dashboards, visualizations and data exports. The datasets wey dey available cover transactions, blocks, fees, throughput, active addresses, smart contract deployments, application usage and validator activity.

Analysts fit still examine $NIGHT transfers, holder distribution and movement across the network. NIGHT na Midnight public native token, wey people dey use for governance, validator rewards and network incentives. To hold $NIGHT dey generate DUST, a shielded and non-transferable resource wey users dey consume when dem dey execute transactions and smart contracts.

Dune dey expose the public side of this resource model, including aggregate DUST generation, consumption and decay over time. Individual shielded transactions, their values and the associated private data no dey added to the public dataset.

Contract deployments, applications wey dem build with Midnight Compact language, validator block production and reward distribution still dey available for analysis. Users fit work with the data through standard Dune tools or access am through Dune MCP without operating separate Midnight indexer.

Midnight still dey listed for Token Terminal, wey dey standardize network metrics like transaction activity and block times. Dune dey provide the more flexible query environment, while Token Terminal dey place Midnight activity inside comparable analytics framework wey other blockchain networks dey use.

Midnight Mainnet and Preprod Move to Node 1.0.0

Midnight Mainnet and Preprod dey run Node 1.0.0 now, aligning the production network with the primary environment wey people dey use test applications before deployment. Preview dey run Node 1.0.1 and e still remain the environment for testing newer software versions.

According to Midnight official compatibility matrix, the three environments dey use Midnight Indexer 4.3.3 and Proof Server 8.1.0. The tested stack still include Wallet SDK 1.2.0, Midnight.js 4.1.1 and on-chain runtime 3.0.0.

The matrix dey give developers defined set of supported versions across the node, indexer, wallet infrastructure, contract runtime and proof-generation services. Midnight applications fit depend on several of these components at the same time, so version compatibility dey relevant when dem dey move code between local development, Preview, Preprod and Mainnet.

The July recap still add Wallet SDK training module to Midnight Academy and one Expert Partner Sprint wey go run reach July 29. These resources dey provide extra guidance for wallet connections, transaction signing and development with the network current tooling.

Selective Disclosure Enter US and UK Policy Consultations

Midnight Foundation submit formal response to the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Office of Foreign Assets Control after the agencies propose new anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance requirements under the GENIUS Act.

For their stablecoin policy submission, the Foundation describe zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure as tools for regulatory verification without universal public access to users financial information.

One example involve stablecoin smart contract wey require cryptographic proof say neither the sender nor the recipient dey for sanctions list. The contract fit reject transfer before settlement when the required proof no dey or e invalid, without publishing the participants identities, balances or complete transaction histories.

The submission dey support policy rules wey base on required compliance outcomes instead of mandates for fully transparent blockchain architectures. Under that model, authorized parties fit receive the information wey dem need for specific regulatory purpose while unrelated financial and commercial data remain protected.

Midnight Foundation still respond to the Financial Conduct Authority and Bank of England consultation on tokenization for UK wholesale financial markets. The consultation cover tokenized securities, collateral, settlement and the use of distributed ledger technology inside regulated financial infrastructure.

After the July releases, Midnight public network activity fit dey examined through two analytics platforms, developers fit build against documented Mainnet stack, and regulators don receive concrete model for pre-settlement verification through zero-knowledge proofs. Shielded transaction data still remain outside the public analytics layer.
