The Cardano Midnight Network Inks a Strategic Deal with OpenZeppelin

Feb 27, 2025 at 04:59 am

The Cardano Midnight Network has inked a strategic deal with OpenZeppelin, a global blockchain security and development startup.

The Cardano Midnight Network has partnered with OpenZeppelin, a global blockchain security and development startup, to introduce a new privacy-focused and compliant framework for Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Together, they aim to create a seamless and efficient smart contract development environment.

Midnight Network and OpenZeppelin Linkup

As announced on X, the linkup between both firms aims to improve the blockchain ecosystem. Midnight Network and OpenZeppelin hope to achieve their goals by providing new smart contract development frameworks that support both emerging and existing applications. OpenZeppelin will focus on designing a dedicated smart contract library for this initiative.

This solution is customized to help developers interested in utilizing Midnight’s programmable data protection features. This smart contract library features the complete equivalents of ERC token standards, including ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155, and ERC3643.

The Cardano Midnight Network and OpenZeppelin’s partnership will also usher in a range of starter applications designed to streamline development. This move could trigger a massive boost in the Decentralized Finance ecosystem. It is widely perceived as a step to strengthen smart contract development and security.

On X, Midnight Network reiterated that the duo will “bring data protection and built-in compliance to DeFi, RWA tokenization, and identity use cases on Midnight and beyond. Builders on EVM chains can use Midnight’s privacy-preserving smart contracts in existing apps, unlocking data protection for all.”

Cardano and Push for Decentralization

Over the past few months, the Cardano ecosystem focused on enhancing interoperability across other networks. When the protocol welcomed the Chang hard fork upgrade last year, it handed over its governance to the community members. It established decentralized governance, giving community members the authority to vote on any proposal on the network.

Besides improving interoperability, the Chang hard fork helped the ecosystem define its development priorities. These include scalability, usability, extensibility, and utility. Cardano welcomed the Plomin hardfork earlier this year to complement the decentralization push. This helped finalize the community governance push, setting an example to its core rivals.

Scalability is mainly at the core of most solutions and upgrades Cardano introduces into its ecosystem. Technologies like Lace wallet, Hydra, Layer-2 rollups, Ouroboros Leios and Peras, Mithril certificates, data API services, and other core node improvements are all designed to help the network achieve its scalability goals this year.

The asset managers are also filing for an ADA ETF product with the US SEC as part of the growing efforts to create a Cardano ecosystem for everyone. If approved, the Cardano ETF may complement the onchain enhancements developers bring to the network.
