# FestFund: Private Contributions & Public Recognition - A Zero-Knowledge Fundraising Solution

**[DEV](https://daily.dev/sources/devto)** · 4 min read · 18 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

FestFund is a fundraising platform that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable private donations while maintaining public transparency. Built on Midnight Network, it allows donors to contribute anonymously while still providing verifiable leaderboards and milestone tracking. The platform reduces ZK proof generation time from 418ms to 1ms and includes features like cryptographic commitments, nullifier protection, and transparent accountability without exposing individual donation amounts.
