What is NIGHT Token?
NIGHT is the native utility token of Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain that operates as a sidechain of Cardano. Midnight was developed by Input Output Global (IOG), the same team behind Cardano.
What makes NIGHT unique is its non-expendable nature. Unlike most cryptocurrencies where you spend tokens for transaction fees (like ETH for gas), NIGHT is never consumed. Instead, holding NIGHT automatically generates DUST - a renewable resource used to pay for Midnight transactions.
This innovative mechanism means your NIGHT balance never decreases from using the network, providing predictable costs regardless of NIGHT price volatility.
How Does NIGHT Token Work?
1. Hold NIGHT
Simply holding NIGHT in your wallet starts the DUST generation process. No staking or locking required.
2. Generate DUST
DUST accumulates automatically over time. More NIGHT = more DUST generation.
3. Use DUST for Transactions
DUST pays for privacy-preserving transactions on Midnight. It's a shielded resource for confidential operations.
4. NIGHT Stays Intact
Your NIGHT balance never decreases. It keeps generating DUST indefinitely.
