couple of years ago, I met a friend who loved to brag, let's call him Xiaoming. He boasted in the group every day, with a strong teacher vibe:
“My buddies, my privacy protection level is maxed out! Work wallet, life wallet, and an airdrop wallet, three sets of disguises switched around; for large transfers, I always mix coins, never connect Twitter or WeChat Pay, I can say I'm an invisible person on the blockchain!” How smug he is!
Last week, he suddenly sent a voice message in the group, his voice was a bit trembling:
“Brothers, I crashed! Everything I was secretly thinking got exposed on the blockchain, harsher than an ex digging up old accounts!”
Detective shares screenshots: High gas fees expose his overtime dog schedule, a pile of meme coins bought with NFT reveal his broke essence, and timestamps of transfers directly align with his 'private money' given to a 'mysterious object' in the middle of the night...
Xiao Ming continues to complain:
‘The memory of blockchain is comparable to that of an exam invigilator! Think changing addresses is safe? In the end, a wave of association analysis shows all 'no matter how deep you hide, I can recognize you' mocking. Mixing tools leave traces, and on-chain detectives don’t even need hacking skills; they just piece together publicly available data like LEGO, playing wildly! Now, every transaction feels like I’m naked in a live broadcast, freezing cold!’
Now he asks me every day: What to do? Can we still play safely in Web3 in the future? I feel scrutinized.
Seeing this, are you starting to panic too?
Don’t panic, there’s
@MidnightNetwork directly helping us upgrade privacy to 'programmable rights'—no longer either/or, but rational privacy!
🌙 Midnight Network, as a Cardano partner chain, uses recursive zk-SNARKs zero-knowledge proofs to let you verify transaction validity, identity compliance, and asset authenticity without exposing amounts, metadata, history, or associations. Selective disclosure is entirely up to you (or developers): what to make public, what to keep hidden, all settled with a line of code—proving truths while guarding secrets!
Currently in the Kūkolu stage, the mainnet is expected to launch officially in late March, operated by trusted node partners like Google Cloud and Blockdaemon to ensure a stable start.
$NIGHT is the native unshielded token of Midnight (public, governance + utility, Cardano native asset, total supply fixed, launching by the end of 2025):

$NIGHT automatically generates DUST (shielded, decaying and regenerating privacy 'battery');
DUST is specifically for paying shielded transaction and ZK smart contract execution fees, low friction, no trace, predictable costs (perfectly decoupling token market fluctuations from network usage costs);
Staking NIGHT participates in governance, incentivizes validators, and co-builds a decentralized future.
In this way, DeFi lending is not afraid of being monitored, DAO voting is anonymous and not afraid of tracking, health/business data on-chain is not afraid of leaks... Privacy has shifted from 'luxury optional' to 'default standard'.
