Midnight Foundation Joins Project Catalyst to Drive Web3 Privacy Innovation

Midnight x Catalyst

The Midnight Foundation, the entity to advance the privacy-enhancing blockchain Midnight network, has collaborated with Project Catalyst, the decentralized innovation engine of Cardano. The collaboration is aimed at accelerating privacy innovation within the Web3 sector. The development attempts to assist developers in creating open-source dApps with real-world applications of the privacy-improving tools of the Midnight network. Hence, this initiative is anticipated to bolster the privacy-centered solutions’ adoption while also inspiring the next era of secure innovation in the decentralized world.

Midnight Foundation and Project Catalyst Drive Web3-Based Privacy Innovation via Unique Fund15 Category

The partnership between Midnight Foundation and Project Catalyst is set to accelerate Web3-based privacy innovation with the exclusive Midnight Compact dApps category in the Fund15 grand round of Project Catalyst. It will reportedly back the development of diverse open-source Proof of Concept projects with the practical use cases of the privacy technology of Midnight. By utilizing the transparent community agenda and voting frameworks of Catalyst, the category will assist in detecting high-potential projects that can push forward scalable privacy acceptance across industries.

Particularly, the developers taking part in the respective category will delve into areas like governance, finance, health, artificial intelligence, and other emerging sectors. The category boosts innovation to balance confidentiality and transparency from civic entities that guarantee privacy in overall governance mechanisms to regulatory-compliant financial products backed by programmable privacy. Each of the projects needs to create reusable code, documentation, as well as a working demo consumer interface.

Bolstering Builders with Privacy-by-Design and Practical Privacy Solutions

While discussing this move, Catalyst’s General Manager, Kriss Baird, asserted that the partnership strengthens developers to develop privacy-by-design solutions for real-world usage. He added that this joint effort promotes a relatively collaborative network to bring together reviewers, voters, and innovators to shape reasonable blockchain advancements. Additionally, Project Catalyst will efficiently manage the voting procedure, permitting the community to easily express preferences, whereas the Midnight Foundation will oversee disbursements and funding.

Overall, the partnership presents both entities’ joint vision to bolster the wider Web3 landscape with privacy-centered, responsible innovation and seamless experience for builders.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
