This is Charles Hoskinson broadcasting live from warm, sunny Colorado. Always warm, always sunny, sometimes Colorado. Today is November 14th, 2025. I've got the vocal fry going on today. We're feeling good and fired up.
The Midnight Summit is very soon; it's just in a few days. Before the summit, I wanted to make sure we had this link. There are a lot of people who want to be Midnight Ambassadors, so we created a dedicated signup link. This is to express your interest and let us know who you are. There will be a multi-stage process of interviews, education, and ultimately selection. My goal is to have 500 of the few, the proud, the brave, the competent, and capable Midnight Ambassadors by March. They’re going to spread the word across the internet and get people to love, admire, and respect the mission, vision, and values of Midnight.
If you think you could be part of that and are excited about freedom of association, commerce, and expression, please sign up at mpc.midnight.network.
Now, there's one other thing I'd like to share, and I think it's very pertinent. Starting in December, I will have an in-person AMA audio channel in the Midnight Discord every week. We really want to start getting people into the Midnight Discord because there are a lot of cool and fun things we can do there.
You can see right here, this is a view of my Discord. I’ll share the link for the Midnight Discord with you. I want you all to join this Discord. My goal is to reach 100,000 members by March. This is going to be a place where I will personally spend a lot of time. We’re going to do a lot of cool stuff with hackathons and get people fired up. I think it’s going to be fun and wonderful to build a great community there.
This is something we should have done with Cardano. We ended up creating a very fragmented community and eventually scaled from Telegram to X. X is not really a good place for a community; it just doesn’t have the right tools. Discord, on the other hand, has phenomenal tools. So please take a look at the link and join the Discord. I will be there every week.
We will have wonderful audio channels open where people can ask me any questions. I’ll commit to at least an hour, and I’ll be there for anything you want to talk about. Other people will be there too. We’re going to have builder showcases, and we’re currently working on the Midnight Shift, which is the podcast for Midnight. They will produce at least one podcast episode every week and do a live show at least once a week from the Midnight Discord.
We’re going to bring a lot of people in and have wonderful conversations. Right now, a lot of people are talking about a scavenger hunt and having fun with it. I’d love to see that go beyond just the scavenger hunt to discussions about building on Midnight and doing cool things.
This is invaluable because this is where all the Midnight builders are. We can talk about the roadmap, the product, and ensure a fast response time when you discover a bug or want to request a feature. We’re going to get this done, and I’m really excited to have you all there.
If you want to be an ambassador, you have the link in the description of the video, as well as earlier in the video. Please do sign up. We want to reach 500 by March, and I’d like to get 100,000 in the Discord by then. Let’s see if we can get this done. Thanks, everybody, and I’ll see you at the Midnight Summit. Cheers.
