Aliit at a glance
The Aliit is Midnight’s selective technical fellowship program, created to recognize and empower the builders who embody what a privacy-first ecosystem demands: depth, rigor, and the generosity in sharing knowledge about new technology.
In Mandalorian, Aliit means “family” or “clan”, and this inaugural class reflects exactly that: a global network of developers who were already experimenting, teaching, creating examples, launching workshops, winning hackathons, and onboarding new builders long before this Fellowship existed.
What Drives The Aliit
Fellows share Midnight’s technology, tools, and use cases. They produce the talks, workshops, demos, and content that explain privacy-preserving smart contracts to the world.
These leaders advocate for the ecosystem's vision. They help developers understand the unique capabilities of the architecture and the critical value of privacy in blockchain.
Fellows host events and lead discussions. They act as the primary bridge for introducing new developers, from both Web2 and Web3 backgrounds, to the Midnight ecosystem.
The Aliit builds the foundation. They create example projects, provide direct product feedback, and support the expansion of the developer community.

How Can You Contribute?
Every member in the Aliit Fellowship program becomes a Builder by default. This means they do development work, tooling, protocol contributions, and anything living in GitHub.
Advocates contribute with talks, content creation, and activities that bring new developers into the Midnight ecosystem. If you're actively representing Midnight at events or through original content, this is where that work counts.
Educators are creating tutorials, running workshops, writing documentation, or helping other developers understand complex concepts. If you're the person who makes ZK proofs feel approachable, this is your lane.
Our community leaders organize events, provide ongoing support in developer channels, and help coordinate the broader builder community.
Start as a Candidate. Grow into a Fellow. Shape the ecosystem.
