Most people focus on the price of $NIGHT but I’m more interested in the Compact language itself. Creating privacy apps used to need deep knowledge of zero knowledge proofs, something only experts with advanced math degrees could grasp.
Midnight Network changed that by designing Compact to feel like TypeScript, making it easy for regular web developers to add features like Selective Disclosure without needing to be cryptography experts. When building gets this simple, the whole ecosystem can grow quickly. That’s where the real value of Midnight Network lies.
