The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Midnight Network is a blockchain built to let applications process sensitive data through smart contracts while keeping that data shielded from public view, using zero-knowledge proofs to prove a computation was performed correctly without revealing its underlying inputs. It is designed as a data-protection layer within the wider Cardano ecosystem, giving developers a way to build compliant, privacy-preserving decentralized applications on programmable infrastructure.
