In this episode of #Unshielded: A Blockchain & Data Podcast by Midnight, host Anthony Day connects with Kevin Millikin, Principal Architect for Midnight.

Join them as they discuss:

👉 An under-the-hood look at Compact as a programming language 👉 Why Midnight needs its own language, and the importance of great developer experience. Kevin highlights the differences in working with Blockchain technology 👉 A live #demo of Compact language by showcasing the code for a bulletin board app 👉 Compact roadmap: Aligning more closely with TypeScript 👉 Why developers need to join the Midnight Discord channel 👉 The need to innovate in decentralized applications

Kevin Millikin is a seasoned software architect specializing in programming language design and implementation. Currently, at Midnight, he is instrumental in developing a cutting-edge data protection blockchain platform. This innovative platform leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure secure computations while maintaining privacy. Kevin's work focuses on designing a domain-specific language (DSL) for smart contracts, creating a compiler targeting JavaScript, and developing a custom virtual machine runtime for on-chain computations. His expertise extends to building support libraries, developer tools, and the overall architecture that drives this privacy-focused blockchain solution.

Kevin has also worked at Google and Deep Mind and, while there, worked on an experimental Python optimizing JIT compiler using the CPython interpreter and runtime. This was open-sourced as S6 (https://github.com/google-deepmind/s6). He also worked on Alphabet-internal Python development tools, including Python static typing and static analysis of Python programs.

The Cardano community through his developers is transforming the world and yet the world is still largely unaware. Much of the work we are doing is still unseen outside of the Cardano community.

La comunidad de Cardano, a través de sus desarrolladores, está transformando el mundo y, sin embargo, el mundo todavía no es consciente de ello. Gran parte del trabajo que estamos haciendo todavía no se ve fuera de la comunidad de Cardano.

In this video, Michael Madoff, Group Product Manager for Governance at IOG explains Cardano’s governance system and in particular the role of the Constitutional Committee.

Decentralized governance and decision-making are crucial to ensuring that everyone has a voice and control over the Cardano protocol's future development. The Cardano governance model reflects this by demonstrating the achievability of liquid and representative democracy through individual participation and immutable vote recording. ADA holders can decide on treasury fund distribution and the platform's future development. So, as a community, how can we work together to outline policies and guidelines for the future development of Cardano and ensure that everyone has a say?

Cardano governance has a clear roadmap to bring the Cardano community through this whole process. The Cardano Constitution defines the policies and rules to enable sustainable growth of Cardano's ecosystem to ensure fair participation, protection, and a foundation to meet current and future demands.

Understand the role of the Constitutional Committee, the stages involved, how the constitution will be ratified, Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP) 1694, on-chain governance features, expansion of governance capabilities, the roles of DReps and ADA holders, and more.
