Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shares insights into Midnight Network’s utilities in relation to his strategic partnership with Brave Wallet. Hoskinson explained that Cardano can add value to two parts of Brave’s business model.
Midnight Cardano’s Midnight to Power Privacy in the Brave Ecosystem
Hoskinson said the Cardano Midnight Zero-Knowledge (ZK) platform can support Brave Ads and Brave VPN. He said privacy-focused web browsers can be acquired by integrating these two into their business models.
Brave can earn crypto from the Basic Attention Token (BAT) ecosystem, as advertising can prove a major transaction. Additionally, the VPN component includes a subscription model.
The founder of Cardano emphasized that using Brave’s 84 million users will improve privacy through integration, providing high level of crypto protection.

Essentially, midnight could serve as a privacy layer for Cardano and the larger internet space. This is because it provides ZK privacy to the mainstream through browsers.
This development is an important step towards having a real application of blockchain technology in everyday internet use.
The impacts include reducing the frequency of data breaches and enabling users to leverage ZK proofs to verify information without compromising privacy.
Advance Cardano’s ability campaign
In addition to profiting Brave Wallet, Hoskinson believes it could impact the wider digital space and change billions of lives.
Midnight has the potential to improve security, privacy and scalability for web users, and could have a major impact on the future development of digital privacy solutions.
As Cardano continues to develop its use case applications, it is important for the ecosystem to effectively communicate these developments to potential users. Cardano’s top executive Tim Harrison has recently highlighted this point, as reported by U.Today.
Harrison argues that if users are not aware of the various solutions Cardano has built, this may not affect ecosystem growth.
