🎙️ Midnight CTO Sebastien Guillemot goes live on X tomorrow, October 21 at 18:00 CEST @atrium_lab is hosting an X Space with @SebastienGllmt, CTO of @MidnightNtwrk, on October 21 at 16:00 UTC, which is 18:00 CEST. The topic: smart contracts on Midnight, and how to build contracts that protect sensitive data while staying verifiable. Quick context: Midnight contracts are written in Compact. Your private data can stay with you, and a zero knowledge proof shows the chain that the rules were followed. The developer decides what gets disclosed. Why it matters: contracts on Midnight mainnet are already being used. @NexusByGero counted 47 smart contracts in use this week, 20 of them newly deployed. Builders now need answers straight from the person behind the tech. What follows: Atrium is collecting questions in the replies before the Space. If you build on Midnight or plan to, this is the place to ask. discord.gg/gzFxgFSh9

🪪 Fahmi Syed on Midnight Passport: "think of it like Apple ID for blockchain" Nobody ordering a taxi thinks about GPS or payment rails. Yet crypto still hands every new user a seed phrase of up to 24 words to guard. In a clip shared on Oct 17, Midnight Foundation President @F_ZK_Now (Fahmi Syed) described Midnight Passport in one line: "think of it like Apple ID for blockchain". The idea: one identity that you and your AI agents can use across apps, without starting every time from a list of secret words. Why it matters: most people never get past wallet setup. If logging in to a privacy app feels like logging in to your phone, privacy stops being a tool for experts only. What follows: the @MidnightNtwrk roadmap lists Passport SDK v1 for Q4 2026, and @IOHK_Charles says Passport integration is coming to @MidnightCitySim.
