Developer Bounties

Build with Midnight. Get rewarded.

Midnight funds bounties for developers who create educational content, build games, and develop decentralized applications on our privacy-first blockchain. Whether you write tutorials, create video explainers, or ship full dApps, there's an opportunity for you.



Midnight Content Bounty Program — Eclipse

Now open for submissions

Midnight Foundation is launching another round of the Content Bounty Program to support community members who want to create educational content about building on Midnight. Whether you write tutorials, make videos, or build technical guides, there's room for you here.

The pilot round helped us test the waters and gather valuable feedback from both contributors and reviewers. Based on what we learned — including issues with submission quality, AI-generated content, and non-functional code- we've refined the program. Welcome to Eclipse.

The goal is simple: make it easier for developers to learn Midnight and start building.
