ANKR is partnering with Midnight, a new privacy-designated blockchain that will run as the first partner chain in the Cardano ($ADA) ecosystem. As part of our collaboration with Midnight, ANKR provides a high-performance remote procedure call (RPC) infrastructure to support distributed networks. Midnight promotes sensitive smart contracts by implementing zero-knowledge encryption and scalability capabilities of the Cardano ($ADA) ecosystem.
There’s a new privacy-focused blockchain on the scene that's pushing the boundaries of decentralized data protection, and Ankr will be powering the network with high-performance RPC infrastructure.

This solution creates a secure environment for applications to handle sensitive personal and commercial information. ANKR’s infrastructure is expected to be important to ensure the power and reliability needed to provide such detailed use cases.
Facilitate scalable, secure, distributed applications
With data security focused among developers and businesses, Midnight aims to establish itself as a platform that can balance security, compliance and decentralization. Midnight uses these technologies to keep applications on-chain, but uses zero-knowledge proofs to ensure information privacy.
With this collaboration, ANKR provides a strong connection to the Midnight Network, allowing developers to run and connect smart contracts with greater efficiency. The goal is to minimize latency and maximize throughput for applications that require fast confidentiality or speed. This enables infrastructure support, essential for developers who want to build compliance solutions in areas such as finance, healthcare, and enterprise services.
Evolution of privacy in the Cardano ecosystem
Midnight brings another privacy feature to the wider network. This innovation is a step towards extending Cardano application capabilities into sensitive data workflows.
ANKR shall promote the technical foundation required for this transition. The company’s RPC services ensure secure, stable connectivity, allowing developers to easily integrate into their ecosystem. This collaboration highlights joint values that protect privacy, scalability, and novelty in distributed systems.
