Complete Source Code: GitHub Repository Network: Midnight Preprod Stack: Compact + TypeScript + React + Vite Introduction Midnight is famous for privacy-first smart contracts using zero-knowledge proofs. But not everything needs to be private . Sometimes you want transparent, publicly verifiable transactions — like community governance tokens, loyalty points, or public reward systems. In this tutorial, we will build a complete unshielded token dApp on Midnight with role-based minting, transfer memos, and balance snapshots for governance voting. Why Unshielded Tokens Unshielded tokens are perfect for governance because transparency builds trust. Unlike shielded tokens that hide balances and transfers behind ZK proofs, unshielded tokens offer lower gas costs and faster confirmation times. Use cases include governance voting, public reward systems, and loyalty programs where auditability matters more than privacy.…
