Midnight developer documentation▍
Midnight helps you keep sensitive data private with zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure, without losing on-chain utility.
Welcome to Midnight Network
Midnight is a privacy-first blockchain that blends public verifiability with confidential data handling. You can use Midnight's selective disclosure and ZK proofs to build apps that:
- Verify correctness without revealing sensitive data
- Share only the information users choose to disclose
- Prove compliance while keeping private records confidential
Midnight’s consensus mechanism ensures agreement on state while preserving privacy and performance.
