As reported, Hoskinson predicted a big shift coming to the crypto market, with privacy becoming the next big thing.

Midnight brings rational privacy to blockchain by utilizing zero-knowledge proofs to protect sensitive data.

At September's close, Midnight Foundation announced a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud to expand community tools and resources to support developers. Midnight’s ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) technology will leverage Confidential Computing from the Google Cloud system to protect private data.

Ouroboros Leios is a major upgrade to the Ouroboros proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus protocol utilized by the Cardano blockchain. Ouroboros Leios is intended to achieve significant scalability and throughput, pushing Cardano well beyond its current limits.
