About Midnight

Midnight, a fourth-generation blockchain focused on programmable privacy, launched its mainnet on March 17, 2026, with its genesis block. The network introduced a dual-token economy: NIGHT as a governance and capital asset, and DUST as a transactional resource generated by holding NIGHT. In September 2024, the Midnight whitepaper detailed its hybrid ledger architecture and selective disclosure mechanisms. Key milestones include Binance Alpha listing NIGHT in early 2025, followed by the NIGHT airdrop distribution and the launch of NIGHT USDT-margined perpetual contracts. In 2025, Midnight also unveiled ShieldUSD, a privacy-focused stablecoin, further expanding its ecosystem. The network emphasizes a phased rollout, starting with a federated operator model and progressing toward full decentralization.
