Will blockchain in the future need a privacy layer like Midnight is trying to build?
For example, when blockchain is used for applications related to finance, personal data, or even business information. As I understand it, in such cases, not all data should be fully displayed on-chain. At this point, I need to pause and think for a moment because I hadn't really paid much attention to this issue before.
Perhaps that is also the reason why some projects are starting to focus more on privacy. Previously, when I heard about privacy in crypto, I often thought immediately of projects like Monero or Zcash, where the main goal is to obscure transaction information so that outsiders find it hard to track activities on the network.
But when reading about Midnight, I see they are trying to approach the problem in a slightly different way. As I understand it, this project is building a blockchain capable of processing private data through technologies like Zero-Knowledge Proof. The interesting thing is that the data can be kept private, but the system can still prove that a transaction or certain information is valid. When I read this part, I had to go back and reread a few lines to understand better what they are trying to do.
Of course, I am not sure how far this direction will develop. In crypto, there are quite a few ideas that sound very interesting in the early stages, but not every project can build a real ecosystem with genuine users and applications.
