The recent creator atmosphere at Binance Square has indeed 'rolled' to a new height.
Every day the leaderboard sees you up and down, but the overall atmosphere is positive—encouraging each other, learning from each other, rather than just pure internal competition.

I set a very simple strategy for myself:
Invest 10U in $NIGHT daily, on one hand to earn trading points (just 5 points), and on the other hand to participate in the project rhythm.

At the same time, I am also doing something more important:
To see how the top teachers on the leaderboard write content.

After observation, a few points are very obvious:

The content structure is clear and logical, rather than emotional output.
The accompanying images are intuitive and information-dense.
The topics chosen are unique, able to capture attention.
Some even spend 2 days reading the white paper thoroughly before producing content.

To be honest, I also read the white paper, but only for 1 hour, and the difference is indeed significant in comparison, which has to be acknowledged.

However, the market also gave a little 'feedback':
Yesterday $NIGHT increased by 15%,
I have been investing 10U daily during this period, with a cost of about 0.044,
Peaked at 0.0488.

Not much, but there is a little bit of small happiness:
About 5U of floating profit. Thanks to the project team for the feeding!

In summary, it boils down to one sentence:
Writing content is a long-term strategy,
Regular investment is rhythm control,
And the market occasionally treats you to a 'pork trotter rice'.

Keep writing, keep buying, keep watching the experts.

Previously, the phase of Midnight essentially belonged to a typical model: launching on mainstream exchanges for spot trading, providing trading depth and price discovery, attracting speculative funds and short-term attention. The core of this phase is:

"Making assets tradable" but the problem is that this drive is:
Not a necessity, highly substitutable
The enthusiasm decays very quickly (the market has validated this countless times).
At Consensus Hong Kong, Charles Hoskinson directly threw out a series of "bombshell news":
👉 @MidnightNetwork mainnet, launching in late March! The launch of the Midnight mainnet means moving from "assets" to "networks"
(1) Tokens are no longer just trading targets
But become in the network:
Resources
Privacy computing resource pricing units
Core of incentive mechanisms
(2) Once the mainnet is operational, it will start generating real on-chain activities:

Privacy trading
Compliance data disclosure
Institutional-level DeFi interactions

If these activities scale, they essentially represent:
On-chain "measurable economic activities"

(3) From retail-driven → Institutional participation structure

The core difference of Midnight is not in "privacy," but in:

Selective disclosure + compliance interfaces

In the world of @MidnightNetwork , there was an early core question:

👉 Who is qualified to "produce blocks"?

In theory, blockchain should be decentralized, and anyone can participate.
But the reality is — at the beginning, if it is completely open, it can easily be exploited by:

Malicious nodes
Bots
Speculators

So Midnight made a decision that seems "a bit counterintuitive":

👉 Initially, "trusted nodes" are responsible for block production
👉 Even early on, there are no rewards

Does that sound familiar?

Now let's bring the focus back to ourselves.

On @币安广场 , we creators are actually:

👉 Nodes on this "content chain" of Midnight

Every article you write every day is, in essence, "producing blocks".

But the same problem exists:

Some write seriously
Some just fill space
Some use AI templates
Some copy and splice

What happens if there’s no filtering?

👉 The overall ecological quality declines
👉 Truly valuable content gets drowned out

So everything happening now is actually exactly like Midnight:

👉 Projects are filtering out "bad nodes"
👉 Platforms are filtering out "low-quality content"

The "0 points" you see, from another perspective, is actually:

👉 "This block did not pass verification"

It's not a denial of you, but rather telling you:

👉 It's not yet "safe enough" or "valuable enough" to be written onto the chain.

Looking deeper, it gets even more interesting:

In the early days of Midnight, what were those who were producing blocks without rewards doing?

👉 Building trust
👉 Proving they are "good nodes"
👉 Participating in the foundational construction of the network

And what we are doing now by writing content is actually the same thing:

👉 Not every piece has a reward
👉 Not every time has a score
👉 But every time accumulates "credibility"

1. What is Lace?

Lace Wallet is essentially: the official wallet of @MidnightNetwork

Developed by the Cardano core team IOHK (Input Output Global).

2. Its core function is:

Support for the Midnight testnet

Experience zero-knowledge privacy transactions

Connect to Midnight DApp

Manage Midnight assets

⚠️ Important:
👉 Currently, it is just a testnet version and does not support real mainnet assets.

3. What can Lace do? (Core features)

In a nutshell:

👉 A wallet that manages assets + NFT + DeFi + DApp

Specific capabilities include:

1️⃣ Asset management

Store Tokens (ADA / future support for more chains)

View balance, transaction history

2️⃣ NFT management

Built-in NFT display

Can directly send/manage collectibles

3️⃣ DApp connection

One-click connection to Web3 applications

Similar to Metamask's “connect wallet” feature

4️⃣ Staking

Participate in staking directly in the wallet to earn rewards

5️⃣ Privacy capabilities (Key point)

In the Midnight version:

👉 Supports zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) transactions
👉 Data is “verifiable but not public”

4. The biggest difference from ordinary wallets (Key understanding)

If we say:

Metamask = Ethereum entry

Binance Wallet = Multi-chain entry

Then Lace's goal is:

👉 A unified entry for Cardano + Midnight

More importantly, what it aims to do in the future:

👉 A foundational entry for privacy + multi-chain + AI Agent

5. Why is it crucial for both Lace and Midnight?

In ordinary wallets:

Your transactions = fully public

Your strategies = can be analyzed

But in Lace + Midnight:

👉 Your actions can become:

Behavior public (transactions occurred)

Intent hidden (thoughts are not visible)

This is particularly crucial for future Agents:

👉 Agents can help you trade but will not disclose your strategies.

6. In summary

Lace is not an ordinary wallet, but:

👉 The “entry plugin” to the Midnight privacy world.

To be more straightforward:

👉 In the future, you will use AI to help you make money
👉 Use Lace to manage assets
👉 Use Midnight to protect you at this stage:

✅ Can experience (testnet)

❌ Not recommended as a main wallet.

Additionally, note:

👉 There are “fake wallets/phishing plugins” on the market

Always confirm the source (official lace.io)

Try to imagine a city called Midnight City — it doesn't exist in the real world, but it feels more real than reality.

When you open Midnight City, it's like entering a "city on the chain." Streets are flowing, transactions are happening, and AI Agents are working for humans. Some are placing orders, some are settling accounts, and some are executing complex strategies. Everything is in motion, resembling the financial centers, commercial districts, and even office buildings that are still lit in the early morning of the real world.

But this city has a very different rule:

👉 You can never see through others, but everything happens for real.

In this city, everyone and every Agent seems to wear a layer of "intelligent invisibility cloak."

You can see:

A certain address completed a transaction

A certain strategy was executed

A certain market experienced fluctuations

But you can't see:

Why they did it

What their underlying logic is

What their next plan is

This is the world that Midnight Network aims to build:

👉 Results are public, processes are private.

One day in the future, such scenes might become commonplace:

You wake up in the morning and won’t be monitoring the market yourself.
Your AI Agent has already helped you complete:

Orders

Arbitrage

Risk control

Asset rebalancing

You only see the results:
👉 Today's return +3%

But the outside world has no idea:

What strategy you used

Where your buying point is

What your risk control conditions are

Your "thinking" has become a true asset.

Now zoom out a bit.

The entire Midnight City is actually a continuously operating digital economy:

Business actions are automatically completed by Agents

Trust is guaranteed by cryptography

Privacy is natively supported by protocols

There are no "peeping Tom dividends" and no gray areas for "information asymmetry arbitrage" here.

Because here:
👉 You can participate in everything, but cannot spy on everything.

Interestingly, this is not just a simulator.

It is more like a preview of the future internet:

The past Web2 world:

You are using products

The platform is using your data

The current Web3 world (for most):

Data is public and transparent

But you are almost "exposed"

What Midnight aims to bring is a third state:

👉 A digital civilization of "selective disclosure" @MidnightNetwork

In the early hours of the 19th, the FOMC meeting did not cut interest rates as expected, cooling BTC around 75000 and returning to a fluctuation within the 70000 range. The price of $NIGHT also fell back to 0.045, touching the lower band of the 4-hour Bollinger Bands.

These past few days of continuous content output have given me a deeper understanding of the Midnight privacy chain. A conversation with my family made me rethink the meaning of "privacy"—privacy is not complete exposure nor total closure, but rather retaining boundaries and space based on understanding each other's starting points.

Just like the design of @MidnightNetwork :
NIGHT is the asset, responsible for holding and managing;
DUST is the resource, used for trading and execution.
The separation of the two ensures that behavior and assets are no longer bound together, and logical activities and financial identities are no longer mixed in the same public record.

Life is the daily scheduling participated in with family;
Work is the temporal mapping of recorded behaviors.
Clear boundaries allow for orderly coexistence.

Last night @Aster DEX went online on the mainnet, which is quite interesting.

It did something that many people haven’t fully realized —
it transformed trading from "public competition" to "invisible competition."

What does that mean?

Wallet balance is fully transparent.

Transaction paths are completely transparent.

Strategies are targeted before they are executed.

This is essentially more like a "transparent casino."

The idea is straightforward:
Use ZK + concealed addresses to make your transactions "visible for verification, invisible in detail."

So the game rules have changed —
not faster, but harder to target.

But this is just the beginning.

If Aster is making privacy upgrades at the DeFi trading layer,
then @MidnightNetwork is doing something even more "harsh" at a lower level:

👉 Making "privacy" the default attribute of smart contracts.

It’s not about whether you choose to hide,
but rather — you can choose to disclose selectively!

Why is this becoming increasingly important?

Because the current on-chain world has changed:

Whale addresses = monitored 24/7

Trading strategies = copied, front-run

Profit-making activities = hunted

Transparency has brought "verifiability,"
but it has also amplified "being targeted."

Thus, a new contradiction has emerged:

Web3 emphasizes freedom, but users have no privacy.

That’s why we see:

L1 talking about privacy

L2 working on privacy

DeFi complementing privacy

New chains directly defaulting to privacy

Privacy is transitioning from a "bonus item" to "infrastructure."

Back to the initial statement:

@MidnightNetwork is trying:
👉 To make the whole world default to "invisible competition"

When transactions are no longer observed,
When strategies are no longer copied,
When value is no longer hunted,

Perhaps then, real enterprise-level applications will land.

In summary:

In the past, it was a competition of information asymmetry,
Now it’s a competition of — selective disclosure of information.

Family, who understands! Participating in the @MidnightNetwork creator task really broke my defenses a few days ago!
Day one: 0 points
Day two: 0 points
Day three: Finally 1.16 points, moved to tears 😭
Every day writing diligently, yet no points come out; I went to read articles by the big shots and realized: their perspectives are sharp, the content is innovative, and it's all original, no wonder the points are high and the rewards are sweet!
I carefully read the Midnight white paper, and suddenly a passage struck me — it’s just like our situation as creators!
The white paper says:
In the early days of blockchain, block production is the core of network security, but it is also the most vulnerable, easily exploited. Therefore, during the launch phase, trusted nodes are responsible, and early block producers receive no rewards, only to solidify security and decentralization.
Isn't this just our current predicament?
We are both content creators and ecological producers.
If we just write a casual piece, use AI templates casually, without depth or innovation, and expect to receive rewards? Absolutely not.
The project side is filtering out “lazy nodes” to ensure network security;
It is also filtering out “shallow content,” leaving it only for those who are truly dedicated, original, and valuable.
Not receiving points or rewards in the early stage is not a waste of effort,
But a way to filter out those who truly want to co-create and understand it.
Insist on originality, write deeply and thoroughly, and slowly decentralize and grow together with the project,
The rewards that are meant to come will definitely reach those who are serious✨
Keep going, just charge ahead!

120 million @MidnightNetwork rewards, calculated at the current price, there's almost a 6 million dollar prize pool.

There's a lot of money in the market, and everyone is more willing to put it in safe places. #超级赚币 just started a little over an hour ago, and the $BTC pool is fully subscribed. $BNB is already halfway there.

Participation method: subscribe using BTC, BNB, WBETH, BNSOL, XRP, ADA, lock up for nine days, different pools have their own subscription limits and total quotas.

Activity 1: Subscribe to the corresponding super profit coin pool to receive basic financial returns, while also sharing 108 million $NIGHT rewards.

Activity 2: On the premise of participating in Activity 1, if you hold the specified cryptocurrencies in your account and meet the minimum quantity requirements by June 11, 2025, you can additionally share 12 million NIGHT.

This event ends on March 25 at 07:59, and this is the first round of quarterly sharing, with a total reward scale of 480 million NIGHT.

There's an activity every year, and this one is particularly refined:
The participation method is simple, just go to the top search box on the exchange homepage and search: #超级赚币
After finding the interaction button, you can participate. It should be noted that assets will be locked during the event. Redemption takes about 3 days.

Yesterday I had another argument with my mother-in-law.
The reason was: My wife doesn't really manage the monthly income, and I cover all the household expenses. However, yesterday my mother-in-law suddenly came to the house and directly asked how much I spend on cigarettes each month, how much I lose on cryptocurrency trading every month, and how much I spend on dining out each month. I was completely taken aback by her questions.
At that moment, I felt very depressed. Why does she need to monitor me like this? Aren't we family?
Feeling troubled, I casually opened my computer and browsed the HACKERNOON blog, where an explanation in one article caught my attention.

Why the privacy method of @MidnightNetwork is worth paying attention to
Midnight's target application scenarios are not niche. Regulated financial services, healthcare data, identity systems, and corporate contracts all require some form of selective disclosure daily. The issue is whether decentralized systems can achieve auditable, compliant, and scalable disclosure simultaneously.

Most existing privacy tools on the blockchain were built for other purposes. The design intention of Monero ($monero) and $ZEC is to protect personal financial privacy from surveillance, which is certainly a reasonable goal, but the assistance they provide for selective disclosure is very limited. If all information is hidden, regulators and auditors have no way to proceed, and the adoption by institutional users will stagnate. Unlike the complete anonymity of Monero or the indiscriminate mixing of Tornado Cash, Midnight uses zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure technologies to meet the needs of institutional users and enterprises that require both confidentiality and regulatory audit capabilities.

After reading the article, I also understood why my mother-in-law asked these questions. Privacy is certainly important, but appropriate disclosure to auditors (like my mother-in-law) is a long-term strategy. Why? It's very simple; excessive privacy will inevitably lead to a poor user experience for others. Harmony in the family involves the participation of multiple people; it’s not a one-way street.
Harmony in the family is above all. Wishing all creators family happiness!
