The Midnight network has teamed up with Maestro, Paima Studios, and Sindri to bring enhanced tooling, such as powerful data APIs, EVM endpoint support, and increased proving times, for developers building zero-knowledge applications.
Midnight’s innovation lies in unlocking programmable data protection capabilities that balance on-chain transparency with evolving data handling and compliance mandates.
“Blockchain technologies, especially those using advanced cryptography like zero-knowledge proofs, are notoriously complex to work with. Midnight is changing that by enabling anyone familiar with TypeScript to build powerful smart contracts. With these new collaborations, the adoption of data-protecting decentralized applications will undergo rapid growth, ” said Eran Barak, Chief Executive Officer at Midnight.
The introduction of these ecosystem partners will benefit the Midnight network as it prepares for its anticipated mainnet launch in 2025.
Here are a few words from these ecosystem partners:
"Midnight addresses a major gap in the blockchain market, with the potential to unlock an entirely new set of use cases. We’re excited to be working with their team to help accelerate adoption and ecosystem growth by making the development experience as intuitive as possible," said Marvin Bertin, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Maestro.
“Midnight is an early player in bringing a new class of cryptographic techniques to life and I think that, combined with the founding team’s track record, it has a lot of potential to become something great,” said Sebastien Guillemot, co-founder at Paima Studios. “This collaboration has the potential to give millions of developers access to not only Midnight’s data protection solutions, but blockchain more broadly”.
“For zero-knowledge technology to thrive, developers need accessible, modern tools that integrate seamlessly into their workflows. Through our collaboration with Midnight, we’re fulfilling this vision while enabling organizations to develop privacy-first applications that meet regulatory standards and ensure users retain control over their personal data,” said Stasia Carson, CEO and co-founder at Sindri
