NIGHTGATE Announce Attestation Vaults for Midnight Mainnet

Maximilian Weber, wey be core developer for ODATANO, don announce say NIGHTGATE don deploy dem first attestation vault contracts for Midnight mainnet after near six months of development and testing.

According to Weber, the deployment include versions wey support 16 and 32 data fields. NIGHTGATE own sponsor pool cover the deployment fees for DUST.

Document Records With Selective Disclosure

NIGHTGATE, part of ODATANO developer infrastructure, dey connect document records with verifiable claims. Dem attestation contracts support anchoring of documents through cryptographic hashes, proving conditions about individual fields, and granting or revoking disclosure permissions.

Attestation na verifiable statement wey associate with data or claim. Applications fit use these statements to check specific information while dem still keep the underlying values private.

The two contract variants fit accommodate different document structures, providing 16 or 32 slots for fields wey associate with shared cryptographic record.

How Midnight Supports Private Verification

NIGHTGATE documentation describe process wey the document go remain off-chain while dem record im cryptographic hash for the blockchain. Later comparison fit establish whether document match the anchored version.

Zero-knowledge proofs allow applications to verify specific conditions without exposing the values wey dem dey check. Recipient fit confirm say hidden numerical value meet required threshold, for example. The documented functions still support equality checks and proofs say value belong to approved set.

For business applications, this fit allow defined question to get answer without sharing the entire supporting document.

The proof dey establish relationship between the recorded data and the condition wey dem dey test. The accuracy of the original input still depend on im source and collection process. Disclosure controls dey govern access through the system, but to revoke permission no fit withdraw information wey person don already receive.

Public API Access Will Extend Integration Options

ODATANO dey develop NIGHTGATE as integration layer between Midnight and business software, including applications wey dem build with SAP CAP. The tools cover document anchoring, private proofs, transaction submission, and fee sponsorship.

Cardano News don previously cover the related NightPass battery passport demonstration for Midnight Preprod. Weber latest announcement concern the attestation infrastructure and the reported deployment for the production network.

The announcement no identify commercial customers or provide usage figures. Weber name public API access as the next step, but e no specify release date or access terms.
