😼 Minswap Trading Competition Enters BOOST WEEK

Minswap’s Trading Competition just got a major power-up. For an entire week, all swaps on Minswap will receive 2x points, regardless of which Cardano native token (CNT) you trade.

That means bigger rewards, faster climbs up the leaderboard, and more incentive to participate in one of Cardano’s largest DeFi campaigns. The total rewards pool remains at 100,000 ADA, plus partner tokens and fees accumulated during the event.

BOOST WEEK is designed to drive volume across all trading pairs, not just MIN, and get more wallets actively involved in on-chain DeFi activity. It also helps stress-test infrastructure while preparing the ground for future incentive frameworks.

Whether you're chasing the top 100 or just joining for the fun, now's the time to swap and earn.

🎮 Cardano SDK for Unreal Engine 5 Is Now Live

Fluxpoint Studio has released the first open-source Cardano SDK for Unreal Engine 5, making it easier than ever to build blockchain-integrated games on Cardano.

This SDK allows developers to add wallet functionality, NFTs, and on-chain logic natively into UE5 environments. It’s a huge milestone for Web3 gaming and opens the door to next-gen multiplayer economies, verifiable assets, and real value exchange inside virtual worlds.

By giving developers familiar tooling inside a leading game engine, Cardano becomes more accessible to the massive UE5 dev community. It’s a long-awaited bridge between creative game building and secure on-chain systems.

Expect new experiments, prototypes, and real games to follow soon, all powered by ADA and native tokens.

🕛 Kraken to Support Midnight’s $NIGHT Glacier Drop

Kraken has announced support for the $NIGHT Glacier Drop, joining forces with Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain project.

As part of the partnership, Kraken will list the $NIGHT token and help distribute tokens to eligible users, bringing the Glacier Drop into the hands of one of the world’s largest crypto user bases.

This collaboration is a strong signal of confidence in Midnight’s zero-knowledge tech and privacy-first infrastructure, offering both technical credibility and massive reach.

Kraken’s role also helps streamline access to $NIGHT, lowering barriers for institutional and retail participants to engage with Midnight from day one.

It’s one more step toward making programmable privacy a mainstream Web3 standard.
