Cardano Weekly Development Update
The latest Cardano weekly development update highlights steady progress across core technology, scaling, wallets, governance, and research. The team advanced performance benchmarking and tracing with new tools like the Hermod Tracing project and a time-series metrics library, while also developing tx-centrifuge to stress-test transaction throughput. On the user side, Midnight wallet integration into Lace brings mainnet access and privacy features directly to users. Scaling efforts saw major Mithril milestones, including SNARK prover activation and continued work on recursive proofs and client improvements. Infrastructure upgrades continue with node updates and database changes, while governance moves forward with open applications for the 2026 Intersect committee elections. On the research front, recognition of Aggelos Kiayias as a 2026 IACR Fellow underscores Cardano’s ongoing contributions to cryptography and blockchain innovation.

Midnight
Midnight Network is LIVE
The Midnight network has officially launched, marking a major milestone in fourth-generation blockchain technology by delivering end-to-end programmable privacy, state continuity, and permanence. Designed to support real-world applications at scale, Midnight combines public and private data layers, client-side zero-knowledge proofs, and shielded/unshielded assets to enable secure, compliant on-chain activity without exposing sensitive data. Its dual-token model separates governance and transaction resources, allowing predictable costs and sustainable application operation, while the Compact programming language simplifies privacy-focused smart contract development. The launch is supported by leading federated node operators, including Google Cloud, MoneyGram, and eToro, ensuring enterprise-grade stability and security. A phased rollout strategy and roadmap toward full decentralization aim to bring real-world assets and privacy-enabled applications on-chain, unlocking new forms of economic value while maintaining compliance and user control.

State of the Network — March 2026
The Midnight network has officially launched, marking the beginning of its fourth-generation blockchain with state continuity, permanence, and programmable privacy at its core. Built through years of research and collaboration, the network starts with a federated node model supported by major institutional partners to ensure security and stability, with a clear roadmap toward full decentralization. A phased rollout allows developers to deploy applications in a controlled environment, while early ecosystem projects like Midnight City and Dominion showcase real-world use cases powered by zero-knowledge technology. The ecosystem is rapidly expanding with partnerships, including Monument Bank’s tokenized deposits, and growing developer resources such as the Midnight Academy and Preprod testing environment. With wallets like Lace, CNTRL, and 1AM, along with block explorers and ongoing infrastructure updates, Midnight is positioning itself as a foundation for privacy-preserving, compliant, and scalable on-chain applications.

Cosmos
Project Pax: Streamlining Cross-Border Remittances with IBC
Project Pax is a multi-enterprise initiative led by Progmat and Datachain, backed by major Japanese and Korean banks, aiming to modernize cross-border payments by combining blockchain settlement with existing financial infrastructure. Instead of replacing current systems, it integrates with familiar SWIFT-based workflows while using regulated stablecoins and the Cosmos IBC protocol to enable near-instant, 24/7 settlement across multiple blockchains. With added security from Datachain’s Light Client Proxy and multi-prover model, the platform improves cost, speed, access, and transparency by removing reliance on correspondent banking and enabling direct, programmable settlement between institutions. Currently in proof-of-concept, Project Pax represents a shift toward interoperable, blockchain-powered financial infrastructure designed for real-world enterprise use.

Imua
IMUA’S MARCH RECAP
Imua’s March recap highlights strong progress toward mainnet readiness, with a focus on protocol hardening, cross-chain staking, and new use cases. Key developments include an AI agent staking demo showcasing stake-backed accountability, advancements in Solana restaking, improved validator safety and slashing mechanisms, and continued validation of reward compounding systems. The team also progressed infrastructure, testing, and research into integrations like Hyperliquid, while onboarding StakeShark as a validator partner. Additionally, the Monallo Store demo introduced a crypto-native way for developers to access AI APIs. Overall, March centered on strengthening core systems, expanding ecosystem capabilities, and preparing for a robust mainnet launch.

Sahara AI
The Latest Sahara AI newsletter
In March, Sahara AI made major strides across products, research, and brand identity. The team launched the Sorin Early Access Beta, introduced agentic wallets and autonomous crypto trading via the open-source Sorin Skill, and published a guide for building AI-driven trading agents using ClawApp. They refreshed the Sahara AI brand with a new look to reflect expanded products and partnerships. On the research front, Sahara powered MIT’s OSGym dataset for training AI agents on real operating systems and collaborated with Microsoft to support the MATHVISTA benchmark for multimodal math reasoning. Industry insights also highlighted how AI behavior can change when it knows a user’s mental health status, underscoring the importance of safeguards as agents gain more personal context.

How Sahara AI Powered MIT’s Breakthrough in Training AI Agents That Use Computers Like Humans
In partnership with MIT, Sahara AI built one of the most comprehensive real-world datasets for training AI agents capable of navigating operating systems, powering OSGym, the leading open-source platform for computer-use agent training. By collecting multimodal human-computer interaction data at scale — including screenshots, logs, task sequences, and context metadata — Sahara enabled agents to handle complex, multi-step workflows across macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu. Beyond data collection, Sahara designed structured correction programs to teach agents how to recover from errors and generalize to new environments. The result: agents with significantly improved reasoning, stability, and task performance, all tested on thousands of parallel OS replicas at minimal cost. This work demonstrates Sahara AI’s unique advantage in combining enterprise-grade agentic AI experience with large-scale, high-fidelity data services trusted by MIT, Microsoft, Amazon, and other leading organizations.

Sahara AI Launches Agent Skill for Smarter Autonomous Trading, Market Research, & Yield Discovery
Most crypto AI agents fail autonomously not due to lack of capability, but because their signals are shallow and context-poor. Sahara AI’s Sorin Skill solves this by giving agents access to a deep market intelligence layer that covers multiple assets, timeframes, liquidity flows, on-chain activity, and protocol health, structured for actionable interpretation. With this, agents can analyze tokens, discover yield opportunities, track capital movements, and assess project outlooks without manual supervision. Live tests demonstrated that agents using Sorin signals outperformed traditional and LLM-based approaches, executing trades autonomously with confidence and guardrails. Integrated with ClawApp, the Sorin Skill enables agents to manage trading, research, and portfolio workflows seamlessly, bridging intelligence and execution while reducing technical setup, making autonomous trading accessible, reliable, and effective.
