Introducing Midnight

Building fair.
Distributing fair.
Break free.

We deserve more when it comes to privacy. Midnight pioneers a radically different path, leveraging zero-knowledge cryptography to forge a future where utility doesn't compromise rights, and access is fairly distributed across ecosystems.

Not everything should be visible on a blockchain.

The transparency of traditional blockchains forces a difficult choice: utility or privacy. Midnight empowers innovators to break free from this limitation.

Redefining on-chain privacy

When most online interactions leak metadata, adoption stalls — especially in industries where privacy is critical. Midnight removes this barrier with a new cooperative tokenomics design, making it possible to build secure, compliance-friendly applications without sacrificing decentralization.

Unlocking choice and control

Midnight is introducing vital, programmable privacy and selective disclosure capabilities powered by zero-knowledge proofs. It means you can build dApps that allow users to control what information is revealed without putting sensitive data on-chain.

Simplifying dApp development

The promise of decentralized applications shouldn't be locked behind layers of complex programming languages and intricate integrations. Midnight is built using Compact, a Typescript-based programming language, to help break through this complexity. Build quickly, integrate easily, and leverage existing skills to bring innovative dApps to life with a minimal learning curve.
