The Midnight Foundation has introduced community and builder quests, which are now available on Zealy, a platform used to host community engagement programs. These quests began on September 24, 2025.
The quests are designed to guide participants through technical onboarding to the Midnight network. They reward contributions such as writing tutorials, submitting pull requests, building sample DApps, or assisting others in the Midnight forum. Completing quests earns points tracked on a public Zealy leaderboard, making all contributions visible.
High quality work from the community will be commended and highlighted, to thank participants and showcase best practices.
Earning 1,000 points in Zealy is a prerequisite for applying to the Midnight ambassador program.
The purpose of quests for the Midnight network
The Zealy quests provide a transparent method for recognizing community contributions. The leaderboard captures community members’ work, highlighting impact and ensuring all contributions are visible.
The questing program allows participants to:
- Earn rewards for participation: Points reflect genuine engagement, content creation, and open-source contributions. For example: “Write a new Midnight Network Doc/Tutorial” for 100 points or “Engage in a Conversation in the Midnight Network Discord or Forums” for 15 points.
- Accelerate onboarding: Technical onboarding quests cover all essentials, so developers hit the ground running.
A pathway to the ambassador program
This launch lays the foundation for the upcoming Midnight Network Technical Ambassador Program: Midnight Aliit.
In Mando'a, the fictional Mandalorian language, aliit means "clan" or "family" and is pronounced [ah-LEET]. It’s a core concept in Mandalorian culture, where clans form the structure of society and family bonds extend beyond blood.
The Midnight Aliit program is scheduled to launch at the end of Q1 2026, giving community members sufficient time to meet the eligibility requirements through the quest system
Eligibility
To apply for the Midnight Aliit program upon its launch, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- A minimum of 1,000 questing points earned through community engagement and technical contributions.
- Demonstrated knowledge of the Midnight network’s technology and goals.
- Active participation in community channels and initiatives.
Ambassador opportunities
