Midnight is a privacy-preserving blockchain enabling programmable data protection where developers can specify exactly what information remains private and what can be selectively disclosed. Unlike all-or-nothing privacy solutions, Midnight's flexible framework enables smart contracts balancing confidentiality with regulatory compliance, audit requirements, and business needs. Through zero-knowledge proofs, secure computation, and selective disclosure protocols, Midnight creates infrastructure for privacy-preserving applications across finance, healthcare, identity, and enterprise use cases requiring data protection without sacrificing functionality.

Key capabilities:

  • Programmable data protection
  • Selective disclosure mechanisms
  • Zero-knowledge proof integration
  • Regulatory compliance support
  • Privacy-preserving smart contracts
  • Confidential asset transfers
  • Audit-friendly privacy
  • Enterprise data protection
  • Growing privacy ecosystem

What is a Midnight RPC Node?

Access privacy infrastructure

A Midnight RPC node provides applications with access to programmable privacy infrastructure where smart contracts can specify granular data protection policies — what information remains confidential, who can access it under what conditions, and what can be publicly verified without revealing underlying data. This flexibility enables real-world applications requiring privacy (healthcare records, financial data, identity credentials) while maintaining regulatory compliance, audit capabilities, and business logic execution. Midnight transforms privacy from binary choice into programmable spectrum.

Why programmable privacy matters

Most blockchains are fully transparent — all data visible to everyone. Privacy coins hide everything — but this prevents auditing, compliance, and business use cases. Midnight offers programmable middle ground — developers define exactly what stays private and what can be selectively disclosed. Medical records stay confidential but doctors can verify credentials. Financial transactions remain private but auditors can verify compliance. This nuanced privacy enables enterprise adoption impossible with all-or-nothing approaches.

Midnight advantages:

  • Programmable privacy — flexible data protection policies
  • Selective disclosure — reveal only necessary information
  • Zero-knowledge proofs — verify without exposing data
  • Regulatory compatible — privacy with compliance
  • Audit friendly — authorized verification capabilities
  • Enterprise ready — production privacy infrastructure

Selective disclosure architecture

Selective disclosure enables users to prove specific claims about private data without revealing the data itself. Medical patient proves they're over 18 without revealing birthdate. Bank customer proves sufficient balance without disclosing exact amount. Business proves revenue threshold met without exposing financials. Midnight's cryptographic protocols enable these proofs through zero-knowledge techniques, maintaining privacy while enabling verification necessary for real-world applications.

How selective disclosure works:

  1. Private data stored encrypted on Midnight blockchain
  2. User generates zero-knowledge proof about specific claim
  3. Proof verifies claim without revealing underlying data
  4. Verifier confirms validity without accessing private information
  5. Programmable policies control who can verify what claims
  6. Privacy maintained while enabling necessary business logic

Regulatory compliance with privacy

Midnight enables regulatory-compliant privacy — data remains confidential by default while authorized auditors, regulators, or compliance officers can verify specific aspects under defined conditions. Financial institutions can prove anti-money-laundering compliance without exposing customer details. Healthcare providers can demonstrate HIPAA compliance while protecting patient privacy. This positions Midnight uniquely for enterprise privacy where regulatory requirements previously prevented blockchain adoption.

This infrastructure represents evolution beyond privacy-or-transparency dichotomy to nuanced, programmable data protection.

Supported RPC Methods

Midnight uses privacy-focused RPC methods:

  • getBlockNumber — current block height
  • getBalance — DUST token balance (private)
  • submitTransaction — broadcast private transaction
  • getTransactionStatus — query transaction state
  • generateProof — create zero-knowledge proof
  • verifyProof — validate ZK proof
  • selectiveDisclosure — controlled data revelation
  • queryShieldedData — access authorized private data

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (Midnight SDK) — Private Transactions:

const { MidnightClient } = require('@midnight/sdk');

// Connect to Midnight privacy blockchain
const client = new MidnightClient('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/midnight/YOUR_API_KEY');

console.log('Connected to Midnight privacy network');
const blockHeight = await client.getBlockNumber();
console.log('Current block:', blockHeight);

// Create private transaction
const privateAccount = client.createShieldedAccount();
console.log('Shielded address:', privateAccount.address);

// Send confidential transaction
const privateTx = await client.sendPrivateTransaction({
  from: privateAccount,
  to: recipientShieldedAddress,
  amount: '1000', // DUST tokens
  memo: 'Confidential payment',
  privacy: {
    hideAmount: true,
    hideSender: true,
    hideRecipient: false  // Selective disclosure
  }
});

await privateTx.wait();
console.log('Private transaction completed!');
console.log('Amount and sender remain confidential');

// Generate zero-knowledge proof
const IDENTITY_CONTRACT = '0x...';
const proof = await client.generateProof({
  claim: 'age_over_18',
  privateData: {
    birthdate: '1990-01-01'
  },
  publicInputs: {
    currentDate: '2024-12-07'
  }
});

// Submit proof for verification
const verifyTx = await client.submitProof(IDENTITY_CONTRACT, proof);
await verifyTx.wait();
console.log('Proved age > 18 without revealing birthdate!');
console.log('Selective disclosure in action!');
💻

Python (Midnight SDK) — Healthcare Privacy:

from midnight_sdk import MidnightClient

# Connect to Midnight
client = MidnightClient('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/midnight/YOUR_API_KEY')

print('Connected to Midnight privacy blockchain')
print('Block height:', client.get_block_number())

# Healthcare record management
medical_record_contract = '0x...'

# Store encrypted medical record
encrypted_record = client.encrypt_data(
    data={
        'patient_id': 'P12345',
        'diagnosis': 'Confidential medical data',
        'medications': ['Med A', 'Med B'],
        'doctor': 'Dr. Smith'
    },
    access_policy={
        'patient': 'full_access',
        'doctor': 'full_access',
        'insurance': 'billing_only',
        'researcher': 'anonymized_only'
    }
)

tx_hash = client.store_private_data(
    contract=medical_record_contract,
    data=encrypted_record
)

print('Medical record stored with programmable privacy!')

# Generate proof for insurance without revealing diagnosis
insurance_proof = client.generate_selective_disclosure_proof(
    claim='treatment_occurred',
    private_data=encrypted_record,
    disclosed_fields=['date', 'cost'],  # Only billing info
    hidden_fields=['diagnosis', 'medications']  # Medical details private
)

# Submit to insurance
client.submit_proof(insurance_contract, insurance_proof)
print('Insurance claim verified without exposing medical details!')
print('HIPAA-compliant privacy achieved!')
💻

WebSocket — Monitor Private Activity:

const { MidnightClient } = require('@midnight/sdk');

const client = new MidnightClient('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/midnight/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Subscribe to public events (preserving privacy)
client.on('block', async (block) => {
  console.log('\n=== New Midnight Block ===');
  console.log('Block number:', block.number);
  console.log('Transactions:', block.transactionCount);
  console.log('Note: Transaction details remain private');
});

// Monitor proof verifications (public)
client.on('proofVerified', (event) => {
  console.log('\n=== Zero-Knowledge Proof Verified ===');
  console.log('Contract:', event.contract);
  console.log('Claim type:', event.claimType);
  console.log('Verification result:', event.valid);
  console.log('Underlying data remains private!');
});

// Monitor authorized disclosures
client.on('selectiveDisclosure', (event) => {
  console.log('\n=== Selective Disclosure Event ===');
  console.log('Disclosed fields:', event.disclosedFields);
  console.log('Hidden fields:', event.hiddenFields.length);
  console.log('Privacy preserved while revealing necessary info');
});

console.log('Monitoring Midnight privacy blockchain...');
console.log('Observing public events while respecting private data...');
