Building with AI tools as a blockchain developer often means fighting hallucinations, broken code, and documentation gaps.

✨ Midnight Expert takes a different approach.

Built for Midnight developers, Midnight Expert is a suite of AI skills for Claude that understands Compact, the SDK, local devnets, testing workflows, and Midnight development patterns.

Instead of relying on confident guesses, it can verify outputs by actually compiling, running, type-checking, and inspecting code.

Several people have taken the quiz already. The scores are… mixed. 👀

Think you’re more private onchain than the average user?

Take the 6-question quiz.

Want to learn more about the mechanics of how NIGHT tokens generate the DUST resource? 🤔

There are multiple pathways to generate DUST, from multiple NIGHT addresses, or even multiple NIGHT UTXOs from a single address.

Midnight’s UTXO-based architecture ensures that DUST generation is flexible down to the individual token output.

This is a powerful mechanism for utility and adoption. Learn more: https://t.co/G0anp6dajX

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT: How do you build an onchain market that protects trading strategies and counterparties, while letting regulators do their job?

Dr. Saj Khoshroo @DrSajKay (CLO, @MidnightNtwrk), James Smith (Co-Founder & CSO, @elliptic), Jens Hachmeister (Managing Director, Head of Issuer Services & New Digital Markets, @Clearstream / @DeutscheBoerse), and Jody Mettler (COO, @BitGo) sit down for a conversation moderated by Nicola Massella @nicola_massella (Partner, @STORM_Partners).

The topic: Privacy and Compliance: Two Sides of the Same Coin.

The panel breaks down the institutional concerns the headlines never quite capture, from protecting trading strategies and counterparty information to meeting reporting, monitoring, and risk requirements at scale.

One week before we welcome you to the Louvre.

For years, blockchain focused on transparency, speed, and composability.

But what happens when markets, institutions, and trillions in capital enter the picture?

Dan Singleman and Ryan Davis (@IOGroup) unpack why privacy could become one of the defining infrastructure layers of the next blockchain era.

This is another problem with crypto payments. Short term, using a CEX avoids it (but the CEX will have that info). Long term, need a proper privacy solution.

Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank

Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks.

Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services.

The initiative begins with a target of £250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients.

Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.

ICYMI: @IOHK_Charles shares how Midnight will accomplish what the first three generations of blockchain couldn’t: privacy that works, identity that scales, and cooperation that accelerates adoption.

5 things every African founder should know before applying to an incubation program.

🧵

[Solene @_SDAV]

380+ projects were submitted for the @dev3pack global hackathon

We hosted this hackathon with a small budget, but created a global movement, online and IRL in 40+ local hubs, even in bear market. The community showed up not for prizes, but for collaboration, learning, building startups, and getting recognized.

We wanted to bring our own audience, and managed to onboard 4K+ applicants from 84 countries and 1,700+ universities. For most of them, it was their first hackathon ever!

The hackathon became one of the biggest student onboarding initiatives on @solana. Their official student hackathon had around 90 submitted projects, with a different budget.

The secret? Infrastructure and community.

In just a few weeks, with @armolas_06 & @zintarh_dev, we built a cool platform to support the entire hackathon experience, from participation to event coordination. More than 150 people helped organize this movement. Huge thanks to all of them! The energy from emerging markets is unmatched.

Many participants are already pushing their projects further, forming teams, and taking the lead in their local ecosystems. Every project received AI deep feedback and recommendations (product, technical) thanks to @bonfiresai

Today it's an exciting day for all of them, as we are opening our global accelerator with @solana to support their founder journey 🫡

[TIMxBRIDGE @Tim38300817]

We just completed our first project funded by @midnightfdn:

DID:MIDNIGHT 🕛 has been build by @DennisMittmann and team.

And honestly, we are impressed.

The Midnight Foundation has shown what professional ecosystem support can look like. Even when our contact person changed, the process stayed smooth, reliable and respectful, from presentations, to amendments, to clear communication, to payments arriving exactly as expected.

This is how you help builders turn ideas into real products:

Fast. Professional. Reliable. Builder-focused.

Most importantly, we felt treated like a serious team contributing value to the ecosystem, not like applicants who constantly need to justify that they are not “greedy grifters trying to drain a treasury.”

That difference matters.

It is refreshing to work with people who understand that homegrown projects need trust, speed and support to create real impact.

Big thanks to the Midnight Foundation team around @rongurlavi!
