From Frustration to Framework: Building on Midnight
After participating in three hackathons this year, I thought I had a good idea of what to expect. Then came the fourth. It began like the others: an idea, a challenge, a blank terminal screen. But this one took an unexpected turn, one I didn't see coming.

Learning Web3 from the Ground Up - Understanding Ethereum
This past week, I started the SheFi course—a program designed to help women dive deeper into Web3 and decentralized finance. One of the first topics it covered was Ethereum: what it is, why it matters, and how it fits into the broader decentralized ecosystem.

Learning Web3 from the Ground Up - Smart Contracts and the Compact Language
As I continue my journey through the world of Web3, I’ve been digging into the building blocks that make privacy-first platforms like Midnight possible (you can catch up on previous posts in the Midnight Dev Diaries!). This week, I focused on two foundational pieces that go hand in hand: smart contracts on Midnight and the Compact language that powers them.

Learning Web3 from the Ground Up - Understanding Selective Disclosure
As I delve deeper into the world of Web3, I've been working my way through foundational concepts to have a better understanding of the industry (check out my last five posts on the Midnight Dev Diaries!). This week, I dove into one of the most practical and privacy-focused ideas I’ve encountered so far: selective disclosure.

Learning Web3 from the Ground Up - Unpacking Merkle Trees and DAOs
As I continue my Web3 learning journey, I've mostly been working through Cardano Academy and Midnight Academy and documenting my findings in the Midnight Dev Diaries. But this week, I decided to branch out and explore a broader range of beginner-friendly resources across the ecosystem. That led me to two foundational concepts that kept coming up: Merkle Trees and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
