Most blockchains are completely transparent. That’s good for trust, but it can expose sensitive info like your transactions or business data. Midnight Network fixes this by putting privacy first.
It uses two tokens:
$NIGHT – the main token
DUST – the fuel for transactions
Think of $NIGHT as a wind turbine and DUST as the electricity it produces. You don’t spend $NIGHT; it just keeps generating DUST, which you use to run transactions. This keeps costs predictable and private.
How DUST Works
Private: Your wallet, amounts, and activity are hidden
Renewable: Keeps generating as long as you hold $NIGHT
Flexible: Can go to you, someone else, or even power a DApp
Non-transferable: DUST is just for transactions, it’s not a tradable token
Who Can Use It
NIGHT holders generate DUST for themselves or others
DUST recipients can transact without holding $NIGHT
DUST sponsees use DApps while the app covers DUST costs, making it simple for beginners
Multi-Chain & Community
$NIGHT works on both Midnight and Cardano, supporting multi-chain activity. Its fair distribution and governance means everyone benefits, not just early investors.
Why It Matters
Midnight is private, predictable, and fair. DUST separates operational costs from token price, protects your data, and lets you participate easily. It’s blockchain made simple, safe, and inclusive.
