The Midnight Network #night ht token is the native, transparent governance asset (24B supply) for a fourth-generation blockchain focused on data protection, launched on Cardano. It powers the network by generating "DUST," a shielded resource used for fees/smart contracts, rather than burning NIGHT itself.

Tokenomics and Value
Total Supply: 24 Billion NIGHT, with a disinflationary model.
Functionality: Holders maintain their NIGHT balance while generating DUST, reducing user cost.
Market Position: Considered a high-risk, speculative asset in the privacy blockchain space.
NIGHT is the unshielded native and governance token of the Midnight Network.
Midnight uses Zero-Knowledge (ZK) smart contracts to enable programmable privacy. Unlike privacy coins designed solely to hide activity, the NIGHT token is public and transparent (unshielded). Its primary role is to secure the network and generate the DUST resource that powers transactions
#night token launch supported by top global exchanges, custodians and data aggregators
The launch of NIGHT on Cardano first has been validated by the swift integration of NIGHT by top-tier global exchanges, custodians, and data aggregators. This approach provides immediate access and liquidity while Midnight’s mainnet development continues toward a targeted launch in early 2026. It supports a phased, community-first strategy that prioritizes resilience and usability.
These technical integrations ensure that the NIGHT token is discoverable, accessible, and secure for a global audience of users and institutions from day one.
