I have been focusing on a detail for a long time: the Midnight team, braving the blizzard in Hokkaido, went to give lectures on ZK proofs to dozens of local developers before the mainnet launch.

It's not a Twitter Space, it's not a YouTube live stream, it's an offline workshop in the blizzard.

This event itself is small, but it has helped me clarify a previously vague question: the long-term value of $NIGHT is not supported by the white paper, but by the developers who learned to write privacy contracts in Compact language at workshops. The difference between these two things is: a white paper can be written overnight, while a developer community needs to be built city by city.

In simple terms: they are seriously doing a slow thing, rather than doing something that looks fast. In the crypto industry, this choice itself is a signal, because most projects will invest all their resources in marketing before the mainnet launch, instead of pouring them into offline workshops in the blizzard.

I believe the quality of the developer ecosystem of @MidnightNetwork is deeper than what most analytical articles reflect, and the reason is this — they are building it in a way that is hard to replicate, one city, one workshop, one developer who has truly worked with Compact language. This accumulation will not suddenly become an obvious number on the day of the mainnet launch, but it will manifest in the quality and density of real applications on the chain six months later, a year later. The kind of accumulation represented by #night is the part that is hardest to catch up with in the long-term value of $NIGHT . (Real professionals · Life-saving first)

The mainnet of $NIGHT will launch in the last week of March. The builders are ready.
