Exciting update for @MidnightNetwork !
Worldpay and Bullish have officially joined as federated node operators just weeks before the March mainnet launch!
Worldpay, now part of Global Payments, is one of the biggest merchant processors on the planet. They serve over 6 million merchants, handle $3.7 trillion in annual payments, and process roughly 94 billion transactions across 175+ countries. On Midnight they’re building stablecoin payment infrastructure using USDG (the Global Dollar). The proof-of-concept will show how global merchant networks can finally use DeFi-native settlement rails while keeping full AML/KYC compliance and complete transaction confidentiality for both B2B and B2C flows.
Bullish, a regulated institutional digital asset platform, is taking things further by developing Proof of Reserves directly on Midnight’s zero-knowledge layer. Exchanges will be able to cryptographically prove solvency without ever revealing wallet addresses, counterparties, or sensitive transaction histories, setting a brand new standard for transparent yet truly private reporting in both DeFi and traditional markets.
These partnerships are huge because they bring real institutional infrastructure to a fourth generation privacy blockchain that already delivers selective disclosure and rational privacy. With validators now including heavyweights like Worldpay and Bullish, Midnight is clearly positioning itself as the bridge between traditional finance and the privacy-first future of Web3.
