In the response, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson emphasized the need for midnight to gather public data around privacy as a new healthcare vision.
Data privacy is becoming increasingly needed in the digital scene, especially with the increasing means of extracting personal and sensitive data. Meanwhile, it could get worse as new policies continue to release sensitive personal information for public use.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson highlighted the importance of midnight in a tweet in a new government’s healthcare policy aimed at prioritizing the use of data collection devices for all Americans in the near future.
Hoskinson emphasizes the need for midnight
June 25th xPostHoskinson suggested that it was all midnight and a smile and that the lack of protocol could be devastating. He did not state this in clear terms, but suggested that he chose emojis while describing his midnight presence and absence.
Midnight: 😀
No Midnight: https://t.co/yvanv4s4lh

His responses came in response to a tag in a clip from a recent comment by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Cabinet member of Donald Trump’s Pro Bitcoin.
In the short video, Kennedy is important to the agenda where wearable devices make Americans healthier again, and his vision is to ensure that all Americans wear wearable devices over the next four years.
This may seem like a noble cause, but considering its focus on real-time health perceptions among users, it is not working well with user factions, especially tech-savvy. Pundit Hustlebitch emphasized that these wearables are electronic data collection devices. This suggests that the manufacturer of these technologies provides access to the wearer’s personal details.
To be careful, a Cardano enthusiast tagged Hoskinson in a video retweet, mentioning it in the middle of the night. This elicited a response from the founder of Cardano.
For beginners, Midnight is a cardanocide chain focusing on privacy and confidentiality. The chain is built on the scalability and security of a Layer 1 network, but even transaction variators utilize zero knowledge proofs to ensure data security and confidentiality.
Importantly, this technology ensures that the information users want to keep private remains private despite the transparency of blockchain technology. Midnight uses data encryption and other advanced encryption techniques to achieve this level of privacy.
Midnight launch and airdrop details
In particular, this important technology remains in the testnet phase. The exact mainnet release has not been announced, but Cardano developers are planning to debut Sidechain by the end of 2025.
Plus, Cardano does Airdrop Night Token, a native token for a glacier chain, drops it to eligible users across multiple chains, including XRP and Bitcoin. For eligibility, at least $100 XRP holders will be eligible to participate in Airdrop during the June 11 snapshot.
