Fixed Supply, Long-Term Security
The total supply of NIGHT is capped at 24 billion tokens. There will be no additional minting event, no inflationary issuance mechanism, no governance vote that could authorize expanding the supply beyond this ceiling. The cap is permanent, enforced by the minting policy on-chain, and constitutes the foundational constraint around which Midnight's entire economic model is designed.
Each unit of NIGHT is further divisible into one million subunits called STARs — a precision mechanism that ensures the token remains practically useful for micro-denomination computations, governance calculations, and block reward distributions even as the network matures and NIGHT's per-unit value potentially changes.
