# Dawn

**[DEV](https://daily.dev/sources/devto)** · 5 min read · 46 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

Dawn is a censorship-resistant media platform built on the Midnight Network that enables anonymous publishing with verifiable authenticity. Users can publish immutable reports organized into thematic bulletins while proving their eligibility through zero-knowledge attestations without revealing their identity. The platform features complete Lace Wallet integration, custom attestation services, and smart contracts that verify proofs on-chain, making it impossible for reports to be deleted or altered once published.

> I am curious, how do you verify someone's authenticity and/or eligibility without showing who they are to the users? How can someone be authentic and anonymous at the same time? Their personality/traits are some of the defining authenticity of someone.
