I recently watched Midnight Network, and my biggest feeling is not that "this is another privacy chain," but that it finally makes the issue of privacy seem less daunting. Many projects, when mentioning privacy, give me the impression that they either want to hide everything or become naturally sensitive subjects of regulation. But Midnight talks about selective disclosure, which essentially means "I only prove what needs to be proven, and I won’t expose other content." I quite agree with this idea because, in the real world, most scenarios do not require absolute anonymity but rather boundary data protection. The official documentation has also been emphasizing that what it wants to do is combine publicly verifiable and confidential data processing based on zero-knowledge proofs, rather than just simply applying a layer of masking.

So when I look at Midnight now, I don’t categorize it as a project that only relies on its theme. I prefer to understand it as a "compliance-friendly privacy infrastructure." Such projects may not be the most explosive in the short term, but if on-chain identities, payments, and enterprise applications truly move deeper in the future, I actually think this kind of narrative is more likely to persist. Because in the end, the market will realize that what is really scarce is not "will hide," but rather "can protect data while not losing verifiability." In this regard, Midnight at least makes me feel that it considers issues more realistically than many similar projects. #night $NIGHT @MidnightNetwork
