Once again, a day I spend researching @MidnightNetwork , and suddenly I remember a story from when I was a teenager. At that time, I needed proof that I was over 18 years old in order to step into a large building. I provided my identity card to them. In it there was my full birth information, identification number, address, and everything they could possibly know about me was exposed on it. However, the only thing they actually wanted to know was simply whether I was over 18 years old.
Do you realize it? They only needed to know one thing they required, yet I provided all of my sensitive information. And unintentionally, this became the beginning of every possible risk. This is exactly what traditional blockchain is currently like. And they call it “transparency”.
This is also a headache for investors. The appearance of Midnight is like a remedy, with the technology “Zero-knowledge proof”, and I jokingly call it: “Why must the truth prove itself?” – This is the core idea behind the formation of Midnight.
Midnight is designed to support applications where data privacy is placed at the highest priority, while the network can still verify transactions using cryptographic methods.
What is interesting is that in this model, developers can build systems where information remains secret. That is the ultimate control, yet the validity of the transaction is still confirmed by the network.
That is also exactly what makes me pay more attention to Midnight
The result creates a space where privacy and verifiability coexist, and that place is called Midnight.
