cardano-base VS cardano-node

As part of dev3pack, I yearned for the moment when I could participate in the ZK and Privacy Bootcamp. This topic caught my attention when, as a Shefier, I learned about Midnight in the past cohort (14). Midnight is a side chain of the Cardano ecosystem, designed specifically for data protection and privacy. Midnight uses zero-knowledge proofs to strike a balance between the transparency needed in public blockchains and the handling of sensitive data, for example, personal identity. It is built so that developers can create dapps with selective disclosure.

Haskell is used in industries like finance (e.g., Standard Chartered), blockchain (e.g., Cardano), and academia. Tools like Stack simplify project management, while libraries like Yesod enable web development.

Notably, Sabrina Tachdijan - HBAR Foundation Head of Fintech & Payments - joined Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson, InvestaX Co-Founder Alice Chen, Plume Network Co-Founder Teddy Pornprinya, and EY Blockchain Leader Paul Brody for a panel discussion on “The Rise of RWA Chains”.

It sees quite a lot of use in the traditional finance industry in europe from what I've been told but basically all of that is closed source.

However probably the "biggest" open source project with direct commercial use would be the Cardano blockchain (IOG, one of the main developers for Cardano, is one of the top sponsors for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler as well as a major contributor nowadays).

The cardano node implementation is linked here: https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node

However a lot of tooling for the ecosystem is spread between that org, the IOG org, and the CF org, as well as others.

By no means is this the best example but it is a decent example of an extremely large, primarily haskell based project that sees regular use.

Cardano (ADA) – The Sustainability-Focused Blockchain

Hoskinson decided to support Ethereum classic after that and also launched Cardano.

This sluggish activity is hitting smaller cryptocurrencies like Cardano and Solana, which are seeing much slower growth than bitcoin. Trading platforms popular with retail investors, such as Robinhood, are moving to end support for trading these tokens, and the risk of an SEC crackdown has made institutional investors even more leery of them.
