The Midnight Network is a data protection blockchain platform pioneering zero-knowledge technology for decentralized applications. Through zero-knowledge proofs, Midnight offers programmable data protection that enables selective disclosure of sensitive information.
As a result, developers can meet regulatory requirements like GDPR and HIPAA effectively. Additionally, Midnight launches as Cardano's first partner chain, inheriting robust security from day one.
For development, Midnight uses the Compact programming language specifically designed for confidential smart contracts. Developers build applications where users control what data they reveal to others. Meanwhile, the dual-ledger system separates public state from private transactions seamlessly. This architecture particularly serves financial services, healthcare, supply chain, and identity management needs.
