We’re pleased to share that Midnight Network, a fourth-generation blockchain bringing rational privacy to Web3, has officially joined Intersect as a new Enterprise-level member. Midnight is set to become the first Cardano partner chain, leveraging privacy-enhancing smart contracts and a cooperative tokenomics design to offer programmable privacy with selective disclosure, as well as predictable operating costs and token abstraction to unlock real-world use cases, all of which are highlighted by their NIGHT token launching soon, which will mark a significant step forward for the project and the broader ecosystem.
By joining Intersect as an Enterprise member, Midnight gains early visibility into ecosystem initiatives and access to dedicated collaboration channels that connect infrastructure providers, tooling teams, and specialist committees. For existing Intersect members and the wider Cardano community, Midnight’s expertise in privacy, selective disclosure, and compliance-focused design adds meaningful depth to shared discussions and strengthens the ecosystem’s collective ability to shape Cardano’s long-term evolution.
Introducing Midnight Network
Midnight is a privacy-first blockchain that enables developers to build decentralised applications with programmable privacy, selective disclosure, and modern tooling. Designed with zero-knowledge technology at its core, Midnight protects sensitive information while operating within transparent blockchain environments.
The project is approaching a significant milestone with the launch of the NIGHT token, an important step in Midnight’s rollout as it prepares to onboard developers, partners, and early-ecosystem projects.
By becoming an Enterprise member, Midnight brings its privacy-enhancing infrastructure and long-term technical vision directly into Intersect’s governance environment.
Comment from Midnight Leadership
“Midnight is building infrastructure that brings meaningful privacy to not only Cardano but the wider industry. NIGHT launching as a Cardano-native asset reflects the alignment between our networks and Cardano's role in our broader roadmap as a partner chain.
Joining Intersect allows us to contribute directly to the governance and infrastructure that will shape Cardano’s evolution. We're excited to contribute our perspective and work collaboratively with its members as we move towards the launch of the Midnight network,” said Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation.
Why this matters for Intersect members and the wider Cardano community
Midnight joining as an Enterprise member is more than an addition to the roster; it represents an explicit endorsement of Intersect’s role in facilitating and coordinating the decentralised governance model that Cardano now operates under.
As Cardano moves deeper into the Chang era, leading ecosystem projects are increasingly choosing to participate in governance not only through voting but also through membership structures, committees, and the collaborative frameworks Intersect maintains. Midnight’s entry signals confidence in that direction.
For Intersect members, this brings several meaningful benefits:
- A stronger ecosystem feedback loop
Midnight’s privacy-focused perspective will contribute directly to governance discussions, ensuring that data protection, compliance, and sensitive-use-case requirements are represented. - Greater alignment with key infrastructure providers
Intersect’s committees and working groups now gain a direct line to one of Cardano’s most anticipated infrastructure layers. - New collaboration opportunities
Midnight’s partner ecosystem and developer community open pathways for codevelopment, knowledge sharing, and governance experimentation.
For the broader Cardano community, this reinforces Intersect’s position as a centre of coordination. It demonstrates that major projects are not just building on Cardano, they’re actively choosing to help shape the standards, oversight structures, and governance processes that will guide the ecosystem over the coming years.
What Enterprise Membership Enables
As an Enterprise member, Midnight now has access to the complete set of membership benefits defined in Intersect’s membership framework, including:
- Account-based technical support and coordination with Cardano mainnet upgrades and more
- Participation and voting rights in Annual Members Meetings
- Eligibility for committee involvement and leadership appointments (where permitted by tier)
- Early visibility into governance tooling, treasury administration processes, and initiatives shaping Cardano’s technical roadmap
- Access to enterprise-focused communication channels and coordination opportunities
This integration ensures that Midnight can actively contribute to the broader decision-making and ecosystem coordination that Intersect facilitates for Cardano’s global community.
Growing Enterprise Engagement
Intersect’s Enterprise membership program strengthened significantly throughout 2025, surpassing 50 active enterprise members worldwide, including tooling companies, infrastructure providers, research groups, and Web3 platforms across APAC, MENA, Europe, and North America.
This growth reflects rising confidence in Intersect as the organizational home for Cardano’s governance, and the addition of Midnight further diversifies the perspectives and capabilities represented within the membership base.
Jack Briggs, Interim Executive Director at Intersect
“Midnight joining Intersect as an Enterprise member is a powerful endorsement of the governance foundations the ecosystem has worked hard to build. Their involvement adds real strength to Intersect's technical coordination and deepens the diversity of perspectives shaping the network’s future, showing the maturity of our membership-driven governance model.”
— Jack Briggs, Interim Executive Director, Intersect
Fahmi Syed, President at the Midnight Foundation
“As we approach Midnight’s mainnet launch, becoming an Intersect Enterprise member reinforces our commitment to building transparently, collaboratively, and in lockstep with the broader Cardano community. We look forward to helping shape the next era of Cardano.”
— Fahmi Syed, President, Midnight Network
Looking ahead
With Midnight’s NIGHT token launch around the corner, this is a pivotal moment to join Intersect and engage directly with the committees, frameworks, and coordination layers shaping Cardano’s governance.
We’re excited to welcome Midnight into the Intersect community and look forward to the opportunities for collaboration across governance, privacy infrastructure, ecosystem tooling, and real-world applications.
