Almost 400 developers on @MidnightNtwrk already 🤯 What a crazy month. We’ve come so far, and this is only the beginning.

One of the most rewarding things about building MidSkills is seeing developers turn ideas into real applications on @midnightntwrk. Projects like ShadowVoice (anonymous student feedback platform) and CreditVeil were built using MidSkills as a learning and implementation resource. Instead of spending weeks piecing together documentation, examples, and community answers, builders were able to focus on what matters most solving real problems and shipping products. Thanks to: @PriyalRaut17 That has always been the vision behind MidSkills: Make Midnight accessible to every developer. Not by replacing documentation, but by providing structured learning paths, practical examples, implementation guides, and reusable skills that help developers go from “Where do I start?” to “I just deployed my first Midnight app.” We believe the future of ecosystem growth comes from lowering the barrier to entry. If a student, hackathon participant, or first-time Midnight developer can build a fully functional privacy-preserving application without starting from scratch, then we’re moving in the right direction. Our end goal is simple: 🌙 Anyone should be able to learn, build, and ship on Midnight with confidence. Huge thanks to everyone using @Midnight_Skills, sharing feedback, and building alongside us. We’d love to hear your experience and thoughts on how we can make the platform even better for the community. 💜 cc : @Jay_Albert_ @zsofimajor @LoLoCoding @olanetsoft Ecosystem : @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn @MidnightIntern_

You expected a campus... but not this kind of campus 😎🎬 Here’s the official PBA Lucerne aftermovie! You’ll hear straight from our brilliant students, our instructors (legends) and our CEO @PaulineVorms, all reflecting on what made this ride at PBA Campus Lucerne @hslu unforgettable. Quick recap? 2.5 weeks of intense learning, building, debating, fixing, friendshipping, presenting, and connecting. - 80+ students from all over the globe. - Two specialized tracks. - One governance module with actual policymakers. - Debates that made us rethink everything. - Enough coffee and bananas to power Spain and Portugal - New friendships, the real ones type. - Big ideas. Real connections. And somehow... still enough energy left to dance at the end or get lost in the swiss alps🕺💃 To our students, we saw you walk in with wide eyes, and walk out with your heads high. You locked in. You got uncomfortable. You grew. You built things on @Polkadot that actually mean something. And now, you’re officially part of the PBA fam 💜 Lucerne is done but post-PBA blues is still hitting. Still, one thing’s clear, wave 8 is calling 😶‍🌫️⌛️🌴 (You in?) Enjoy the weekend!
