Meet the builders, educators, and technical leaders empowering builders across the Midnight ecosystem.
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.
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.
Fellows maintain a close view of development progress and technical updates. Follow the Aliit to see where the technology is heading.
These builders have proven experience with Midnight’s unique architecture. If you are stuck on a smart contract or a ZK circuit, connect with an Aliit Fellow.
Fellows provide direct feedback to the teams working on Midnight. Connecting with them ensures your feedback and ideas will shape the future of the network.
Builders are selected based on a history of contribution and a passion for teaching.
