Nightmode extends privacy to BTC/ETH/SOL/Tron; Hoskinson: “Welcome to Midnight, Tron”

@MidnightNtwrk on 20 October unveils Nightmode: Midnight's shielded privacy and selective disclosure extend to public chains (BTC, ETH, SOL, Tron) with Sig Network. Assets lock in an MPC vault on the home chain; the user receives a shielded balance. Vault operators and the threshold are unpublished. Mainnet is tied to ledger v9 “later this year”, with no date. Tron is targeted for December 2026 per Sig Network CEO David Millar-Durrant — Nightmode mainnet is not confirmed as of 21 Oct 2026.

Hoskinson on 21 October at 06:28 writes “Welcome to Midnight, Tron” (L1,371 / V33,742). SPOs are neutral-positive (@AichiStakePool explains the mechanism); users are mixed — @Lucasdb86 sees “real volume”, @Drater46154 writes “work with a scammer”, @morphieCNFT asks whether Tron users need NIGHT for DUST.
