Cross-Chain Privacy: Midnight + Cardano Zero-Knowledge Integration
6 min read
Cardano provides strong settlement guarantees, but all state is public. For applications that need private computation (secret ballots, hidden hands, confidential business logic), that's a real limitation. By integrating Midnight's ZK-native design with Cardano, EffectStream applications can have public settlement on Cardano with private state via Midnight's zero-knowledge proofs.
