Midnight (NIGHT) Live Price and charts Today

Midnight is a privacy-focused L1 where NIGHT generates shielded DUST fees, enabling compliant, data-protecting smart-contract applications.

Midnight is a TypeScript-friendly, privacy-preserving Layer-1 blockchain built in partnership with Cardano to let developers create applications that protect user and business data while still benefiting from public-chain security and interoperability. Using zero-knowledge proofs and a Compact smart-contract language, it supports selective disclosure for use cases like identity, tokenized RWAs, and compliant DeFi, and is rolled out via Devnet, Testnet and Mainnet stages with a roadmap toward multi-resource consensus and ZK trustless bridges. Its dual-component tokenomics center on NIGHT, a 24-billion-supply native token minted on Cardano and mirrored on Midnight for governance, block rewards and ecosystem incentives, and DUST, a shielded, non-transferable fee resource that NIGHT passively generates to pay for private, predictable transaction costs; initial NIGHT distribution is a free, multi-phase airdrop (Glacier Drop, Scavenger Mine, Lost-and-Found) plus protocol-level pools for the Foundation, Reserve, Treasury and partnerships.
