Hey everyone 
I just published a deep dive on Compact, Midnight’s smart contract language, focusing on how it enforces privacy by default at the language level.
The article explores a key shift in how we think about smart contracts:
Instead of executing code on-chain, Compact defines logic that is proven using zero-knowledge systems, meaning data can remain private while still being verifiable.
Some highlights:
• Why Compact is not a general-purpose language
• How circuits replace traditional functions
• The role of witnesses and private inputs
• Why disclose is mandatory for transparency
• The shift from execution → verification
This is especially useful if you’re trying to understand how Midnight differs from traditional chains like Ethereum.
Read here:Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from builders already experimenting with Compact.
