My wife went to the hospital for a follow-up last month. While waiting in line, a sister in front of me was impatient with the nurse: “I just want to check my blood lipids, why are you pulling up my abortion records from three years ago?”
The nurse said that’s how the system works; pulling up one record means retrieving the entire set.
Suddenly, I understood — we keep shouting about Web3 and decentralization, yet in reality, we can’t even say, “I just want to prove I’m healthy, I don’t want to disclose that I’ve been sick.”
Isn't this the current state of public blockchain?
Last year, while looking at the privacy track, a bunch of projects claimed trillions in TVL, yet my Web2 friends opened the zk-SNARK documentation and closed it in ten minutes: “I write TypeScript just fine, and now you want me to deal with circuits?”
Until I saw
@MidnightNetwork Other privacy chains are running cryptographic competitions, while it directly supports TypeScript. Millions of developers don’t need to learn zero-knowledge circuits; they can come in and get to work right away.
This is called dimensionality reduction attack.
$NIGHT is not just a governance token for speculation — staking runs nodes to ensure security, participating in voting to manage the ecosystem, with dual responsibilities, truly tied to the project.
That sister wants “to be able to control who sees which page.”
Midnight
@MidnightNetwork is doing just that: privacy is not meant to hide, but to choose.
This is the kind of strategy I want to see.
