I increasingly understand one simple thing — technologies come in waves. First, everyone only talked about DeFi, then NFTs, then AI projects. But one topic keeps coming back — privacy.
That is why I became interested in looking at the Midnight Network. The project aims to combine blockchain and confidential computing so that users can interact with the network without revealing unnecessary data. In regular blockchains, almost everything is transparent, and sometimes this is even a problem. Not everyone wants every transaction to be completely open to the entire internet.
The idea of Midnight is precisely to give more control over data. At the same time, the network remains part of the Web3 ecosystem, rather than something closed off. If such solutions really start working in practice, it could significantly change the approach to using blockchain.
I am currently just observing the development of the project and studying what role the token $NIGHT will play in the ecosystem. In crypto, it’s always better to understand things first than to chase after hype.
But the topic of privacy definitely seems to me one of those that will only gain significance in the coming years.
