Midnight smart contracts are nearing deployment on the mainnet according to Sebastien Guillemot, Cardano developer. Charles Hoskinson also mentioned that Midnight is going through a major upgrade that will enable apps, alongside upcoming RealFi and Pogen projects.

NIGHT token price rose 5.18% to $0.02437 as Midnight development and application plans drew community attention. Guillemot shared the update while highlighting what the change could bring to the network, including private smart contracts and custom tokens.

Guillemot's comments come as attention around Midnight continues to grow within the Cardano community. Midnight is designed around privacy, and the planned smart contract functionality could give developers more ways to build applications on the network.
