Fahmi Syed of the Midnight Foundation joins CoinDesk Live to discuss the network’s upcoming mainnet launch, strategic cloud partnerships, and the role of "rational privacy" in the AI era.
Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation, joins CoinDesk Live at Consensus Hong Kong to break down the rapid evolution of the Midnight network. With infrastructure partnerships now in place with Google Cloud and Telegram, Syed details the strategic roadmap for Midnight’s late-March federated mainnet launch. He explores the real-world utility of Midnight City—a SimCity style environment where users can interact with zero-knowledge proofs and private stablecoins in a live simulation. As AI-driven data exploitation becomes a global concern, Syed explains why "rational privacy" is the essential bridge for institutions and retail users to trade and protect their identities without compromise.
