About Midnight Summit
Midnight Summit is Midnightâs inaugural gathering for builders, innovators, and thinkers in Web3, to explore the future of privacy, decentralized applications, and blockchain innovation.
This two day summit kicks off with Cypher Day on day one, which focuses on privacy at every level. “Cypher” presents the opportunity to decode what lies before us in the growing adoption of Blockchain: how to protect the right to privacy, how to make a more inclusive digital future, and how to secure the innovations to make it a reality. Cypher Day will feature discussions on privacy in blockchain, privacy for institutions, and the role of privacy in public life, offering a high-level narrative for anyone looking to understand and shape the next generation of blockchain.
Day two of Midnight Summit shifts the focus to Midnightâs ecosystem and partners, highlighting the innovations, collaborations, and stories that are driving privacy-first solutions in practice. We welcome you, wherever you are in the world, to join the Midnight Summit. The event will be livestreamed, providing access for the broader community to join the conversation and engage with the ideas shaping the future of privacy in Web3.

Hackathon
At the core of the Summit lies the Hackathon.
This is not a side event. Itâs a live proving ground where developers go from try, through test, to trust. Here, privacy becomes programmable, code becomes culture, and progress happens live in the room.
