Stablecoins shouldn't force a choice between privacy and compliance. @Shield_USD , built by our team here at W3I, delivers both on @MidnightNtwrk. Watch our CTO @amw7 walk through the architecture and demo the Perdix wallet on NerdOut:

Blockchain as a sector is at a crossroads with the arrival (takeover?) of TradFi. On this week's BlockTalks @W3i_CEO reads this moment and discusses how the industry can approach it in a responsible manner. Catch the whole episode here: blockdrops.substack.com/p/bl…

Stablecoins are only the beginning. Our CEO @W3i_CEO joins the conversation to talk about privacy, real-world financial infrastructure, and what needs to happen for blockchain to move from promise to practical adoption. Take a listen 👇

Found it yet? 👀 That blue machine is ours. Step into @MidnightCitySim , find the USDM ATM, and tap to explore.

Once again, @USDMOfficial is the premiere stablecoin 😏 Keep your eyes peeled for @Shield_USD 😉

cross-chain infrastructure between cardano and midnight is now live on mainnet. USDM is the first asset moving natively in both directions.

Financial institutions shouldn’t have to become software companies to participate in digital finance. There is a strange assumption embedded in much of the conversation about blockchain adoption: If a bank, credit union, or business wants to use this technology, it should build the infrastructure itself. That’s not how most financial infrastructure works. A community bank doesn’t build its own card network just like a business doesn’t construct an ACH system before it can pay employees. Financial institutions routinely rely on specialized infrastructure providers so they can offer sophisticated products without becoming technology companies themselves. Digital assets shouldn’t be different. That was the problem we saw when we started W3i Software. There was plenty of blockchain technology and increasingly compelling use cases, but there was a significant gap between what the technology could do and what a regulated institution could realistically deploy. Building the software is only part of the problem. There’s compliance, banking, custody, reserves, security, integration, reporting, operations, and, ultimately, the need to turn all of that complexity into a product customers can actually use. For most institutions, reinventing that infrastructure makes very little economic sense. The next phase of blockchain adoption won’t depend on convincing every financial institution to become a blockchain company. It’ll depend on making blockchain infrastructure ordinary enough that they don’t have to. That’s the problem W3i was created to solve.

How many other ecosystems have as much aura as we do? 🕛 Amazing Midnight Network (@MidnightNtwrk) hackathon in Buenos Aires! The Midnight Foundation team shared some remarkable figures from the event: 87 hackers took part, 59 of them completely new to the Midnight ecosystem, 26 projects were developed, and the event reached a 100% code compilation rate, achieved for the first time at a Midnight event. I had the pleasure of serving as a judge, helping teams work through the evaluation criteria. We worked Friday and Saturday non stop, but the effort never feels heavy when it's driven by passion. Vamos Argentina! 🇦🇷

W3i CTO @amw7 will be on site at @RareEvo to discuss privacy solutions for regulated business.

Our CEO @W3i_CEO is in Chicago for TechChicago, in the room at WEB3 Investor Day. The conversation W3i keeps having: regulated stablecoin infrastructure, and what it takes for institutions to put real dollars on chain. In town this week? Come say hello. @GoTechChicago

This project from @Shield_USD is one of the most exciting hybrid applications for Cardano/Midnight: a privacy stablecoin. @amw7 piped.video/watch?v=VTnONAYJ… covers the design and function of the first programmable shielded token. I cannot wait to connect it to Pogen and other standards to see Billions minted!

Do you want to vote on multiple gov actions at once with a hardware wallet!? Cause this is how you vote on multiple actions with a hardware wallet!

We must say farewell to a powerhouse of the Cardano Community, @bone_pool. He was an unwavering support from the very beginning of USDM's conception. Rest easy, friend. 💔

If you're not already following @W3iSoftware on LinkedIn, please do me a solid and connect/follow over there. Thanks! linkedin.com/company/w3isoft…

Dear @IOHK_Charles , The reason you created Cardano has been my north star for almost six years. Following your vision to bank the unbanked, I joined the ecosystem like many others driven by that same purpose. 5am.earth is how we deliver on that vision now, at scale. We're tapping into partner networks that aims to reach 100 million farmers, the perfect foundation for a blockchain trust layer that connects to many business applications (i.e. good synergies with Realfi). Here's a short 3-minute video:  nitter.net/YoramBenzvi/status/206… From a business perspective, there are real opportunities for Cardano to tap into a huge business network of leading brands. As you said in one of your recent videos, "we lost the narrative." 5am could be part of bringing it back. The community support has been incredible - here are few examples:   nitter.net/Elkconnect_web3/status…) We need a final push to get the proposal across the line. The deadline is today (Tuesday, 10pm UTC). Infra is essential, but what the market shows us is that it not enough. 5am is part of the solution. Would greatly appreciate your public support. Yoram
