Key Aspects of Midnight Network
Privacy & Compliance: Midnight uses zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure data protection while allowing for selective disclosure. This means developers can build apps that are both private (hiding sensitive user data) and compliant with regulatory requirements.
Cardano Partner Chain: While it is a distinct blockchain, Midnight operates as a partner chain (sidechain) to Cardano, leveraging Cardano's Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus for security.
Dual-Token System: The network uses a unique two-token structure:
NIGHT: The native utility and governance token, which is transparent and used for staking and network security.
DUST: A shielded, non-transferable token generated by holding NIGHT. DUST is used to pay for transaction fees and execute smart contracts (acting as "fuel").
Developer Friendly: The network uses "Compact," a TypeScript-based language for smart contracts, making it easier for developers to build private dApps.
