Developer builds sealed-bid auction on Midnight blockchain during sprint

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A self-taught developer shipped a sealed-bid auction smart contract on Midnight Preprod using AI agent plugins. The contract uses domain-separated nullifiers to prevent double bidding while keeping bid amounts private. The developer also contributed a fix to the Midnight Expert error-code lookup after debugging error 170.
