What is Midpoint?
Midpoint is the easiest way to connect your blockchain application to traditional web endpoints. Midpoint makes it easy for developers to make any HTTP call from within a smart contract, without running any infrastructure and in one line of Solidity. Unlike traditional oracle networks, Midpoint allows developers to make requests with on-chain parameters, multi-step authentication workflows, and private off-chain data. Midpoint is natively multi-chain and can respond to requests across EVM chains. Every day developers use Midpoint to connect their contracts to new services and endpoints — ones that we (Midpoint Labs) — have never heard of. Learn more about Midpoint at www.midpointapi.com or read the docs at docs.midpointapi.com. For support with your hack reach out on Discord!
