More on Midnight
Midnight is a data-protection blockchain that makes it easier to build secure, compliant smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on the blockchain.
Midnight employs a language that is familiar to thousands of developers and offers a plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
It employs a revolutionary data-protection-first programming style that will make zero-knowledge (ZK) technology accessible to a broader range of dApp developers.
It is now ready for release to a small set of individuals as an early development environment — the Midnight Devnet. The release of Midnight on devnet may indicate that a mainnet or public testnet release is not far away, a transition that has major ramifications for Cardano.
