Cardano Hydra Fix Unblocks Stuck Funds Amid Midnight's EV Privacy Breakthrough
The Cardano Hydra development team has resolved an issue that caused funds to become stuck after a Mesh SDK transaction. This problem occurred when a user's deposit remained at the deposit script for approximately three hours due to a mismatch between the value and stored datum.
A fix was implemented by changing the process so deposits are checked before submission, allowing the system to fail faster in case of an issue. This change also introduced a new error that identifies any shortfall and allows stuck deposits to be decoded for manual recovery.
In related news, the Midnight Network has showcased its NightPass project, which utilizes privacy technology to verify recycled cobalt requirements for EV batteries without exposing sensitive data. This application demonstrates how Midnight Network can handle verification while keeping commercially sensitive information private.
