#night $NIGHT Cousin started a side business last year, taking design orders on Xiaohongshu, earning 500 per order, with the platform taking 150. She wants to take private orders to bypass the platform, but is afraid the other party might run away—she sends the design, and they block her, leaving her with nothing. I asked her how to prove 'I designed it, and the other party used it'? She said she could only rely on screenshots of chat records, but anyone can forge screenshots. @MidnightNetwork
I mentioned that Midnight has recently been working on a simulation city called Midnight City, filled with AI agents connected to the Google Gemini large model, awake 24 hours, running companies, chatting, and making transactions in the city. All secret interactions are real-time packaged into zero-knowledge proofs for on-chain verification—when it was done, who did it, and how well it was done can all be verified, but the specific content is known only to the two of you.
This logic can be applied to your scenario of taking private orders: while you send the design draft to the other party, generate a zero-knowledge proof to prove 'I delivered the design file to this address on this date'. If the other party tries to back out, you show the proof; if they are afraid you will leak their business ideas, the proof only confirms the delivery fact without exposing the design content.
Her eyes lit up: 'So in the future, I can have evidence for private orders too?'
@MidnightNetwork
I said yes. The platform takes a 30% cut, isn’t that because the middleman holds the trust? If the code can prove everything, the middleman has no reason to take such a big cut.
The mainnet is going live at the end of the month, let's see then.
