[Proposal Summary] Problem Statement

What is the problem you want to solve?

Enterprise and regulated apps require users to expose sensitive data for compliance. Midnight lacks native private compliance proof infrastructure, increasing risk and limiting enterprise adoption.

[Proposal Summary] Project Dependencies

Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?

No

Describe any dependencies or write 'No dependencies'

No dependencies

[Proposal Summary] Project Open Source

Will your project's outputs be fully open source?

Yes

Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

All project deliverables will be released as open source under the MIT License, including smart contracts, proof circuits, SDK components, and documentation. The full codebase will be published in a public GitHub repository to ensure transparency, reuse, and community collaboration.

[Campaign Category] Category Questions

What is useful about your DApp within one of the specified industry or enterprise verticals?

• Designed for regulated industries such as financial services, enterprise software, and compliance-driven platforms.
• Allows enterprises to verify user or business eligibility without collecting or storing sensitive personal data.
• Helps organizations enforce regulatory and internal rules while keeping user data private.
• Reduces legal, security, and data-handling risk for enterprise teams.
• Lowers operational costs by simplifying compliance and verification workflows.
• Builds stronger user trust by minimizing unnecessary data exposure.
• Supports real-world enterprise use cases through secure, privacy-preserving access control.

What exactly will you build? List the Compact contract(s) and key functions/proofs, the demo UI flow, Lace (Midnight) wallet integration, and your basic test plan.

Develop a Midnight-based zero-knowledge compliance verification system that includes:

• Confidential Compact smart contracts to define and enforce compliance rules and verify zero-knowledge proofs.
• Secure cryptographic functions for attribute hashing, rule evaluation, and proof generation.
• A simple, intuitive demo interface enabling users to enter private information, generate proofs locally, and verify eligibility without exposing sensitive data.
• Lace (Midnight) wallet integration for seamless authentication and secure transaction signing.
• A complete testing framework with unit and integration tests covering the full proof creation and verification flow.

How will other developers learn from and reuse your repo? Describe repo structure, README contents, docs/tutorials, test instructions, and extension points. Which developer personas benefit, and how will you gauge impact (forks, stars, issues, remixes)?

• Fully open-source public GitHub repository with a clean, modular codebase designed for easy extension.
• Well-structured folders separating smart contracts, proof logic, SDK, and demo app.
• Detailed README with quick-start setup, architecture diagrams, and real-world usage examples.
• Step-by-step developer tutorials for deploying contracts and generating zero-knowledge proofs.
• Heavily commented code to make learning and customization easy.
• Ready-to-run test scripts and sample datasets for fast local testing.
• Built to be forked, extended, and integrated directly into other Midnight projects.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

This project will be a privacy-first compliance proof infrastructure using Midnight’s confidential smart contracts and zero-knowledge proof model.

The system will allow users to prove that they satisfy specific compliance rules without revealing their underlying data.

Core components include:

• Confidential smart contracts to store and manage compliance rule definitions.
• Zero-knowledge proof logic to allow users to prove eligibility without exposing personal data.
• A reusable SDK so other developers can easily integrate private compliance checks at the application layer.
• A demo web interface to showcase full end-to-end proof generation and verification on Midnight testnet.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on Midnight ecosystem

• Gives the Midnight ecosystem practical, reusable building blocks for private compliance and eligibility checks.
• Helps users keep their personal data private while still proving they meet required rules.
• Makes it easier for developers to build regulated apps without heavy legal and data-handling risks.
• Provides real examples and tools that other teams can quickly reuse.
• Encourages more real-world and enterprise use cases to be built on Midnight.
• Builds greater trust in the ecosystem by allowing secure interactions without unnecessary data exposure.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

I have over 8 years of experience building and delivering real-world software products, from early prototypes to production-ready systems. I enjoy working on complex technical problems and have consistently delivered working solutions in professional and open-source environments. I actively share my work through public repositories and regularly participate in technical hackathons.

To make sure this project is feasible, I will build it step by step, starting with simple, working versions of each core feature before adding more advanced functionality.

Each milestone will be validated through testing, testnet deployments, and public code reviews so progress is transparent and measurable.

[Final Pitch] Budget & Costs

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

Total Requested: 10,000 USD

4,000 USD — Contract and proof system development

3,000 USD — SDK and frontend implementation

2,000 USD — Testing and testnet deployment

1,000 USD — Infrastructure and operational tooling

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Midnight ecosystem?

This project delivers open-source infrastructure that benefits the entire Midnight and Cardano community instead of a closed product. The funding will create reusable tools, SDKs, and reference implementations that lower the barrier for future developers and accelerate ecosystem growth.
