@MidnightNetwork is taking an important step before its launch. Large companies like Worldpay and Bullish are joining its network as node operators, which is a positive sign.
Why? Because they usually do not get involved in unserious projects. Worldpay will help test cryptocurrency payments while complying with legal rules, while Bullish will allow demonstrating that there are real funds without revealing private information, using advanced technology (ZK). In short, Midnight seeks something key: privacy but with trust. For someone new, this is good because it indicates that the project has backing, real use cases, and aims for institutional adoption. Still, it remains a developing technology, so growth will depend on its execution.
