Family, the NIGHT creator event is ending today, currently ranked 270, should be able to benefit, but unfortunately, the price has dropped too sharply today, currently around 0.043.

Next, let's talk about what happens if you ask any CTO of a company that has tried implementing zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology: "What is the biggest barrier to your large-scale use of privacy public chains?" The answer is often not bottom-level performance, but the extremely steep and expensive learning curve for developers. In the current mainstream ZK development ecosystem, engineers are forced to use extremely low-level domain-specific languages (DSL) like Cairo and Circom. Writing this code is not about writing business logic but about constructing polynomial constraints in an extremely esoteric manner. This counterintuitive development model not only leads to an extremely long R&D cycle, but also, if a boundary condition is slightly missed, it can leave fatal security vulnerabilities in the underlying circuit, which is unacceptable for traditional IT companies pursuing certainty and R&D efficiency.

The team at @MidnightNetwork has keenly perceived this capacity bottleneck that hinders the industry from breaking barriers and has introduced a killer feature in their white paper to reshape the developer ecosystem: the Compact smart contract language and its smart compiler. The Compact language is designed with syntax that is highly familiar to tens of millions of developers worldwide, closely resembling TypeScript, greatly lowering the entry barrier. However, its true industrial-grade value lies in the backend compilation engine: developers only need to focus on writing high-level business logic and data visibility rules (Public/Private), and the Compact compiler will automatically perform rigorous static analysis in the background and seamlessly convert it into the underlying PLONKish Arithmetization circuit proof.

The greatness of this architecture lies in its complete automation of the most error-prone cryptographic underlying mathematical operations, which are fully entrusted to a rigorously audited compiler. Traditional Web2 engineers do not need to become cryptography experts to develop complex enterprise-level privacy applications with extremely high security standards and rapid speed. By significantly reducing trial-and-error costs and audit risks, Midnight is quietly siphoning off the vast capacity of the traditional internet, building the strongest developer moat for the long-term prosperity of the $NIGHT ecosystem. #night
