CTO of @midnightfdn, @SebastienGllmt, will be speaking at Quantum & Privacy Day. Midnight is a zero-knowledge blockchain built around selective disclosure, which lets users prove what matters without exposing the underlying data. October 8 | Tower Club, Singapore Apply to attend: luma.com/jtof4o9b

Although contract deployment will be enabled for everyone soon on mainnet, it doesn't stop there Testnet has the next version of smart contracts with a lot of extra new features (events, composability, etc.) Working hard to get those to mainnet next🙂

Smart contract deployment is soon going to be enabled on Midnight mainnet👀 Excited for private smart contracts! (incl. ability to mint private custom tokens) Thanks to all the builders who helped get here

Working on better formal verification (looking positive)!👀 AI, empowered with formal verification, docs and good code, is like a 24/7 personal devrel These days, it's the R&D team and forward-deployed engineers' job to ensure teams and agents can bring their product to life

If you haven’t heard of offer files yet, The idea is still evolving, but is available on testnet I have a draft blog post that I try to keep updated blog.sebastiengllmt.com/post…

Great time at Google talking about private DeFi on Midnight Lots of positive feedback on our new offer files DeFi primitive Thanks to the Web3 AI Summit organizers!

Astra is OpenAI's Opus 5 moment Most insufferable agent I've ever talked to. Time to take it out back

At Common Prefix, private proof-of-stake is an active area of our research. In a recent paper, "StakeNote", Common Prefix researchers Bernardo David and Dimitris Karakostas combine the Ouroboros proof-of-stake paradigm with ring signatures to create the first provably secure and practical CryptoNote-style PoS protocol. The paper will be presented at AFT'26 in London next month. eprint.iacr.org/2026/1205

This is a presentation of Zenith (private Ouroboros) by Odysseas Sofikitis Work done under @zano_project and @CommonPrefix

Cool that @CommonPrefix is working on a private version of Ouroboros 👀

If everyone can see your trade before it happens, someone will take a cut of it. Midnight Foundation CTO @SebastienGllmt told me at @CryptoCanal's #CommonS3nse why he thinks privacy in DeFi is about fairness, and why an attacker cannot target a wallet it cannot find.

Got to speak at Common S3nse (@CryptoCanal) about Midnight and privacy 🙂 I’ll be here today and tomorrow as well for those around (thanks to those who have said hi already!)

Strongly inspired by the best browser extension to ever live (tree-style tabs) But not significantly more useful at the OS level as well in the AI age

I built this unapologetically for myself and my own preferences but if other people are interested I can open source it and share the link later once it's a bit more stable

My machine getting wiped allowed me to create something much better Tree Style Window Manager (arch-based) Your OS windows form a tree, allowing you to easily visualize which agents are under which program No more desktop app trying to own your entire flow(t3code/codex/claude)

Bun has decent TOML support as of 1.4 as well which is nice to also make it easily usable from TS I find TOML to be the best balance of readability (for humans and machines), expressivity and maturity

Latest addition to AGENTS.md: prefer machine-readable formats over markdown (ex: toml, tsv) AI loves to write massive markdowns that keep growing in size, then lose its ability to understand it fully. Machine readable formats help a lot to keep relevant parts in context

(jokes aside, I've managed to recover 90% of my uncommitted changes from my old drive, and the rest was on Github. I'm back to coding already)

It's okay though, Github backed up my code for me in the arctic worst case, I just need to do an arctic break-in

After two decades of writing code My most popular tweet is now about deleting every single line of code I've ever written Maybe there's a lesson in there somewhere
