S3E25 Midnight: Empowering Data Protecting DApps w. Mauricio Magaldi (Head of Product)

Blockchain Won't Save the World

Midnight, a data protection Blockchain developed by Input Output (IOHK)(a core contributor to Cardano), has just launched, but what does this mean for Web3?
I'm joined by Midnight's Head of Product, Mauricio Magaldi, for a wide-ranging discussion on why data remains a huge issue (and cost) in Web2 as well as Web3, and how Midnight's unique architecture and zero knowledge technology can help any developer to build better apps.
This is a show for anyone who uses, builds or buys applications in their daily life.
We discuss:
- Why data remains an underrated issue for individuals and companies
- What do we mean by data protection, and what good looks like
- Why decentralisation can be great for apps, but where major Blockchains have failed in terms of data and metadata protection to-date
- Why Midnight exists today
- What Midnight's technology is all about
- How to get involved in early access to Midnight's devnet
