Midnight Mainnet Launch: Hoskinson Targets Mass Market Over Privacy "Maxis"
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shifted the narrative for his upcoming privacy-focused network, Midnight, by choosing not to compete directly for the user bases of established privacy coins like Monero and ZCash. Speaking at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Hoskinson emphasized that Midnight is designed for the "billions of people" who require data protection by default but may not identify as "privacy maxis".
The network is scheduled for a mainnet launch in the final week of March 2026, positioning itself as a compliant, "data protection by design" alternative that avoids the binary "light switch" approach of existing anonymity tools.
