Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, predicted that privacy-focused blockchain Midnight will become bigger than Zcash. He cited selective disclosure, private agents, a DeFi kernel for major chains, and a combination of zero-knowledge proofs, trusted execution environments and multiparty computation. He also pointed to Cardano's continuous uptime and the Leios scaling upgrade. Weiss Crypto suggested NIGHT could be among the best performers over the next 24 months.
