☁️ Midnight Teams Up with Google Cloud
Midnight is collaborating with Google Cloud to build the foundation for privacy-first infrastructure, reinforcing its position as a leader in zero-knowledge technology on Cardano.
Through this partnership, Google Cloud will:
▪️ Run core network infrastructure, including a validator
▪️ Provide Confidential Computing services
▪️ Extend Mandiant threat detection to developers
▪️ Open access to the Google for Startups Web3 Program, with up to $200K in credits
This collaboration empowers builders with scalable privacy tools and security support, unlocking innovation in sectors that demand confidentiality, integrity, and regulatory alignment.
🤖 Surge Integrates SundaeSwap & Splash Ahead of Mainnet
Surge, an algorithmic trading protocol built for Cardano, has announced integrations with SundaeSwap and Splash DEXs, both set to go live at Surge's mainnet launch.
Surge aims to democratize high-frequency, automated trading, bringing the same tools that dominate Wall Street into the hands of retail users. In crypto, where data is public and users hold their funds, Surge sees an opportunity to level the playing field.
By aggregating liquidity across DEXs, Surge enables efficient market making, arbitrage, and cross-pair execution, helping drive volume and price discovery across the Cardano DeFi ecosystem.
🦁 Cardano Now Live in Brave Browser’s Built-in Wallet
Brave Browser has fully integrated Cardano into its native wallet, giving over 100 million users seamless access to ADA, Cardano native tokens, and on-chain governance, with no extensions required.
With this integration, users can now:
▪️ Hold and manage ADA and native assets
▪️ Swap tokens natively, inside the browser
▪️ Vote and participate in governance directly through Brave Wallet
The Brave Wallet offers a privacy-first, multi-chain experience, and Cardano’s inclusion adds another milestone in its journey to mainstream adoption. This is one of the most visible entry points yet for new users to discover and interact with the Cardano ecosystem.
