Midnight is a privacy-preserving Layer 1 blockchain developed by Input Output Global (IOG — builders of Cardano) that enables programmable selective data disclosure using zero-knowledge proofs. Applications built on Midnight can share certain data publicly while keeping other data private and encrypted, enabling regulatory compliance while preserving user privacy. NIGHT is the governance token; DUST is the gas token for transaction fees.
Midnight uses a dual-token model: NIGHT for governance and staking, DUST (a gas token generated by staking NIGHT) for paying transaction fees. The blockchain uses zero-knowledge proofs to let developers build applications where users can prove facts about their data (e.g., 'I am over 18' or 'I have sufficient balance') without revealing the underlying data. Midnight launched as a federated mainnet in March 2026 with Google, Vodafone, and others as node operators, with plans to decentralize. NIGHT exists cross-chain — on Cardano as a native asset and on the Midnight network itself. Token distribution at launch was one of crypto's largest airdrops.
Test RSI-based strategies on Midnight with real historical data.
Existing blockchains are fully transparent — all transaction and application data is public. This makes them unusable for regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal) that have data privacy obligations. Midnight solves this with 'programmable privacy' where developers choose exactly what data is public vs private, enabling compliant DeFi, identity, and enterprise applications where privacy is legally required.
Programmable selective disclosure using ZK-proofs — developers decide per-field what data is public vs private, enabling regulated applications that need both blockchain transparency and data privacy compliance simultaneously.
Use multiple indicators together to build complex entry conditions for NIGHT.
Both use zero-knowledge cryptography for privacy; Zcash focuses on private payments while Midnight focuses on programmable selective disclosure for applications
Midnight is built as a Cardano partner chain; ADA is the primary Cardano token while NIGHT governs Midnight's privacy layer
