Midnight demo shows Ethereum privacy vaults needing outside signers to release tokens
A Midnight privacy-vault demonstration on Ethereum burns a shielded claim before any payout is released, and restoring that claim after a failure requires an attested outcome from outside signers. The example illustrates how privacy-preserving smart contract flows can enforce conditional token release on Ethereum. This is a technical demo rather than a market-moving event, though it signals continued work on privacy tooling for ETH-based applications.
