Charles Hoskinson said Midnight will eventually be bigger than Zcash, but he did not define what “bigger” means or set a deadline. One piece says he tied that view to privacy tools, AI capabilities, cross-chain functionality, and Cardano infrastructure, while another adds a 24-month timeframe and a separate piece notes figures showing Midnight’s market capitalization far below Zcash’s on different UTC dates.
