Cardano has become the latest member of the Linux Foundation's Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC), a move positioning the open-source blockchain in conjunction with heavyweights such as Microsoft and Amazon in the fast-growing market for hardware-based protection standards. The announcement appeared during a one-hour “midnight booth” fireside chat in the Consensus, where Charles Hoskinson, Chief Executive of Input Output (IO), and Eran Barak, Chief Executive of the Midnight Development Company, sketched how to confidentially compidate Will Cardano's privacy-firstchain Midnight.
“We recently joined the Confidential Computing Consortium, you know, along with the Linux Foundation, and we are with Microsoft and Amazon with Nitro. They talk about confidential computing and trusted hardware enclaves with GPUs for AI outsourcing data,” Hoskinson said The audience. The CCC sets cross-industry specifications for Enclave-based security; Its membership signals that Cardano aims to align the zero-knowledge roll-up of midnight and decentralized-identity (made) stacked with emerging hardware standards rather than relying solely on pure cryptographic shields.
“So, midnight usually clicks on all these different things and gives you the ability to reason and think about how I share, who do I share, what I own, what they own, what the semantical amount of data I have to spin in that market and I really pay these things It has become something that is forced all of these things to take, ”Hoskinson added.
Cardano takes the next step to the secure blockchain
Hoskinson monitored Midnight's origins in “A Bar in Tel Aviv” during EurocryPT 2018, describing how a late-night debate about zero-knowledge proofs eventually agreed to a sidechain combining a programmable based on the implementation based on the implementation (“Kachina”) Model (“Knight” for management and “dust” for metered capacity) and selectively intentionally rooted in W3C DIDs. However, according to Barak, the talent of technology alone is not enough; The adoption of the enterprise depends on the confidence that is rooted in the hardware. Confidential computing, he said, provides a final layer.
“When you think about protecting your data, you need to think about two pieces – protecting the data itself and protecting the metadata,” Barak explained. “Midnight expects to be a fabric that gives AI to access personal private data in the right way that does not violate our rights.” By joining the CCC, Cardano gets a chair on the table where these fabric threads are woven with chipset specifications, fair testimony protocols and open source code.
Most sessions dedicated to midnight's two-asset design, separating the volatile, value-accruing management (“knight”) from a stable, non-speculative unit of capacity (“dust”). Hoskinson argued that the division of consensus incentives from the predicted sidesteps were seen by regulators of tension in full -time shields such as Monero. “You get your cake and eat it too … Developers can pay in Bitcoin or Ether or Solana through a capacity exchange, and the end user has not noticed that they are using a different system.”
Confidential computing extends that logic to the hardware layer. Enclave-Sealed Execution protects purse keys, zero-knowledge circuits and make registers from side-channel attacks, while at the same time provide auditors with cryptographic authentication that regulatory conditions embedded in smart-contract conditions are met. “Selective disclosure is a complete need,” Hoskinson told a questioner who had raised his fear of compliance. “You are preparing the capacity to put a disclosure at the smart-contract level and then let the exchanges decide their guidelines for suitability on a basis by case.”
CCC's CCC membership arrived as the conversation became tokenized assets of real-world-a market Hoskinson's “ten plus trillion dollars” today and “one hundred trillion” a small cap and frontier-markete. Midnight, he maintained, should contact both heritage areas such as the New York Stock Exchange and on-chain liquidity pools. The hardware verified privacy makes bridging credible. “You want broker-dealers, compliance, circuit breakers, but you also want blockchain things … Having infrastructure like midnight is the only way to really do that,” he said.
Barak reported more than 2,000 first at midnight testnet builders, from dark-pool prototypes and medical record pilots to carbon-credit monitoring for jet engines. Since the code and state are encrypted, the team of IO's developer-relationships cannot check what the deployed is; Team volunteer information only on Opt-in calls. “I think if we finally bring blockchain technology that covers the elements of privacy that businesses need, change cannot believe,” Barak said.
At the time of press, ADA exchanged $ 0.68.
