Before the Dawn. Built live. Built together.
Built at Midnight.
Built at Midnight.
A two-week Japan tour across five cities with Charles Hoskinson exploring the next chapter of privacy-enhancing technology. Hello, Midnight.
This isn’t a conference.
It’s not a product launch.
It’s a moment - happening in real time.
From late-night talks to community meetups, the Midnight ecosystem is being built city by city, person by person.
Something is forming - and you’re early.
The internet wasn’t designed with privacy in mind. And big tech has saturated the market with solutions that monetize your data, not safeguard it.
Web3 tried to fix this - but transparency without control created new problems and doubt in its longevity.
Midnight exists because the next chapter demands more:
Selective disclosure, not exposure
Data ownership, not extraction
Privacy that works by default, not by exception
Just before the dawn, on the horizon, a new community is evolving - ready to build, design, and launch a new era of digital freedom.
The experience
A tour for builders, believers, and those ready to bring privacy back into the conversation.
Over two weeks, we’re bringing the Midnight ecosystem to life across Japan:
Live talks with Charles Hoskinson, CEO & Founder of Input Output, the Venture Studio behind Midnight
Community meetups that stretch late into the night
Ambassadors capturing the energy as it unfolds
Join the tour. Build Midnight.
This is a chance to not only learn from the visionary and builders behind the Midnight network, it’s an opportunity to be part of a movement that will define the next generation of our digital infrastructure.
