- ADA is down 5.28% over seven days
- NIGHT is up 1.45% over 24 hours
Midnight Network is preparing an upgrade that would allow smart contracts to call other smart-contract functions within a single transaction, according to The Coin Republic. The report was published as part of its 
Cardano news coverage, but it did not provide a deployment date or further implementation details.
The proposed function would let developers combine existing contract functions when building applications. Rather than requiring contract calls to be handled as separate interactions, the capability would enable those calls to occur together within one transaction, expanding the range of application structures available to developers.
This is a single-source report, and no other supplied outlet independently corroborates the planned upgrade or provides conflicting figures. The Coin Republic’s account is the sole basis for the development details, including the use of existing contract functions and the single-transaction mechanism.
Market conditions are subdued despite the development. Cardano’s ADA token trades at $0.184099, up 0.21% over 24 hours but down 5.28% over seven days, with a $6.92 billion market capitalization. Midnight’s NIGHT token is $0.03905906, up 1.45% over 24 hours and down 1.58% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $648.73 million. The total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.61 trillion and is broadly flat; 
Bitcoin is up 0.10% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index is at 25, indicating extreme fear. No rollout date was supplied, making implementation timing and the upgrade’s eventual availability the next details to monitor.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Cardano (ADA) has moved from ₹17.33$0.1841 to ₹17.30$0.1838 — -0.18%.
The chart plots ADA's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ADA ≈ ₹18.19 (about $0.1838), down 0.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
