ANNOUNCEMENT: VOTE FOR MIDNIGHT EXPLORER AT PROJECT CATALYST FUND 15 I’d like to introduce you to our Catalyst Fund15 proposal: Midnight Explorer – A Privacy-Preserving Blockchain Explorer. Midnight Explorer will be a foundational tool for the Midnight ecosystem, helping the community and developers: ▪️ explore on-chain data ▪️ track network activity ▪️ test and build dApps with confidence Today, Midnight lacks a fully featured block explorer. There’s no easy way to inspect transactions, blocks, smart contracts, or pools — which makes experimentation, debugging, and development unnecessarily difficult. Explorers are the eyes of a blockchain. Without them, developers are effectively building in the dark. Midnight Explorer changes that. It provides a clear, privacy-aware view of the Midnight network, turning raw on-chain data into structured, understandable information for both developers and users. With Midnight Explorer, you can: ▪️ Look up blocks, transactions, contracts, and pools on the Preview network ▪️ Monitor network activity in real time with accurate indexed data ▪️ Use a clean, intuitive interface designed for both developers and non-technical users ▪️ Access a public, developer-friendly API for analytics, dashboards, and dApp testing The explorer is already live on the Midnight Preview and Testnet network: 👉 preview.midnightexplorer.com 👉 testnet.midnightexplorer.com This proposal focuses on optimizing performance, expanding data visibility, and delivering a robust public API, ensuring Midnight has the core infrastructure it needs before mainnet. Beyond just displaying data, Midnight Explorer will: ▪️ Reduce friction for developers testing smart contracts ▪️ Accelerate dApp development and debugging ▪️ Serve as shared infrastructure for wallets, analytics tools, and DeFi apps ▪️ Improve transparency and confidence in the Midnight network The project is being built open source, with public progress updates, clear milestones, and verifiable deliverables — so the entire ecosystem can benefit, extend, and reuse the work. If you believe Midnight needs strong foundations, better developer tooling, and real visibility on-chain, we’d greatly appreciate your support. 🔗 Please consider voting for our proposal: projectcatalyst.io/funds/15/… Thank you for helping us build the infrastructure Midnight needs to grow 🚀
