查尔斯·霍金森:Cardano的Midnight网络终将超越Zcash
查尔斯·霍金森(Charles Hoskinson)主张,Cardano旗下的隐私网络Midnight最终将超越Zcash。他援引了包括“隐私代理”、“选择性披露”以及旨在跨主流区块链运行的DeFi内核在内的多项技术进展作为论据。
这一言论出现在Zcash价格远高于一年前水平的背景下,而Midnight的NIGHT代币价格仍较历史高点下跌近78%。
Midnight的隐私与DeFi设计架构
在9月28日发布于X平台的一篇文章中,霍金森引用了评级机构Weiss Crypto的观点,后者此前曾指出NIGHT代币有望成为“未来24个月内最具潜力的投资标的之一”。他断言Midnight将会“比Zcash更大”,并详细阐述了由Input Output(即Cardano背后的开发团队)开发的这个专注于隐私的区块链所具备的优势。
这位开发者写道:“选择性披露、隐私代理、以及面向所有主要区块链抽象化的DeFi内核。”
他还提到了网络正在研发的三种隐私技术,包括零知识证明(Zero-Knowledge Proofs)、可信执行环境(Trusted Execution Environments)和多方计算(Multi-Party Computations),并将Midnight的计划架构与Cardano 24/7的网络正常运行时间以及Leios升级联系起来。
市场数据对比:巨大的差距
Current market data show a significant gap between the two assets. At the time of writing, NIGHT was trading at about $0.027, up more than 2% in the past 24 hours and up more than 9% in the past week. In addition, the token has gained nearly 30% in the past two weeks and more than 36% in 30 days. [TAG Zcash, meanwhile, is trading at around $1,600, down slightly by nearly 7% in 24 hours, despite rising more than 2% over the past seven days and gaining nearly 36% in two weeks. In the past month, the privacy coin has outperformed NIGHT, with a 93% increase over the period and 2,660% higher than the level a year ago.
From an all-time high, Midnight's price is about 77.5% lower than the record of about US$0.12 set on December 9, 2025; while ZEC is about 51% lower than its all-time high of US$3,191.
In terms of trading volume, NIGHT was approximately US$14 million, an increase of 43% from the previous day; while ZEC's trading volume was approximately US$1 billion, a decrease of 24% from the previous trading day.
NIGHT and ZEC's fate intertwined
NIGHT experienced a sharp decline on July 21, falling more than 43%, hitting a low of about US$0.016. The plunge came after 290 million tokens poured into the market after being withdrawn from the Wanchain Bridge contract, and the Midnight Foundation later stated that the network had not been hacked.
On the other hand, Zcash broke through the US$1,600 mark for the first time last week, setting a new high since 2016, and then fell with the broader market. Analyst Crypto Patel pointed out that the "cup handle pattern" suggests that the $1,600 to $2,000 range may constitute a local top, with the possibility of falling below $500 in the next one to three years.
