Understanding Midnight in Plain English: How Privacy Actually Works

Most blockchains put all data on-chain, which means anyone can see it forever. Midnight works differently. Instead of publishing your data, it publishes proofs that something is true.
This means the network can verify results without seeing your private information.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn:
What “data off-chain, proof on-chain” really means
Why this reduces tracking and data leaks
How Midnight keeps verification trustworthy without exposure
By the end, you’ll understand why Midnight is called a rational privacy blockchain.
