Midnight is a privacy-focused blockchain connected to the Cardano ecosystem that tries to fix that tension.
The big idea behind the Midnight crypto project is that you should be able to keep sensitive data private on-chain, while still proving the parts that matter for rules, audits, and everyday trust.
Midnight is a blockchain designed for selective privacy.
That means some information stays private by default, while other information can be shown when needed.

You choose what to reveal, to whom, and when.
Midnight’s pitch is that privacy and proof can coexist, without forcing you to expose your whole financial life.
This is different from older privacy coins that often try to hide everything all the time.
Selective disclosure is the “show your ID without handing it over” concept.

Instead of posting raw data on-chain (name, balance, address history), Midnight uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs).
A ZK proof lets you prove a statement is true without revealing the underlying data that makes it true.
Prove you’re over 18 without revealing your birthday or address.
Prove you got paid without publishing your employer, your salary, or your full bank-like history.

Prove a company has enough funds to cover a payout without showing the full balance sheet.
Prove you passed a compliance check without exposing the documents used in the check.
Midnight is built for apps where you may need to prove something without revealing everything.
The goal is less about secrecy for secrecy’s sake, and more about making blockchain usable for situations where privacy is normal and expected.
