The Midnight network, a new blockchain and first partner chain to Cardano, has teamed up with Maestro, Paima Studios, and Sindri to bring additional tooling, such as powerful data APIs, EVM endpoint support, and shortened proving times, for developers building zero-knowledge applications.?
Midnight’s innovation lies in unlocking programmable data protection capabilities that balance on-chain transparency with evolving data handling and compliance mandates. It does this by enabling developers to build advanced zero-knowledge smart contracts using a TypeScript-based language, one of the world’s most popular programming languages.?
“Blockchain technologies, especially those using advanced cryptography like zero-knowledge proofs, are notoriously complex to work with. Midnight is changing that by enabling anyone familiar with TypeScript to build powerful smart contracts. With these new collaborations, the adoption of data-protecting decentralized applications will undergo rapid growth,” said Eran Barak, Chief Executive Officer atMidnight.
Maestro, a developer-friendly platform that abstracts away complex infrastructure, is working with Midnight to provide builders with powerful data APIs and developer tools to streamline development on the Midnight network.?

Midnight addresses a major gap in the blockchain market, with the potential to unlock an entirely new set of use cases. We’re excited to be working with their team to help accelerate adoption and ecosystem growth by making the development experience as intuitive as possible
