What is NIGHT?
About Midnight
NIGHT is the native token of Midnight, a privacy-focused partner chain to Cardano developed by Input Output (IOHK) under Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano. Unlike legacy privacy coins that conceal all transaction data, Midnight uses a dual-state architecture built on ZK-SNARKs and the Kachina Protocol — keeping two parallel records (public and private) and allowing selective disclosure to auditors, institutions, or counterparties without revealing underlying data. NIGHT generates DUST, a separate resource token that functions as gas for executing Midnight transactions and decays rather than accumulating. NIGHT launched on Cardano as a native asset on December 4, 2025, and the Midnight mainnet went live on March 30, 2026, with a group of federated node partners including Worldpay, Bullish, MoneyGram, Pairpoint by Vodafone, eToro, AlphaTON Capital, Google Cloud, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies. The network is in a federated bootstrapping phase: a fixed group of Federated Node Operators handles block production, and on-chain delegation staking for individual holders is not yet live.
NIGHT tokenomics
Midnight minted the full supply of 24 billion NIGHT at genesis, with no inflation mechanism. Community distribution was conducted through two phases: the Glacier Drop (snapshot June 11, 2025; claim window August–October 2025) and the Scavenger Mine, reaching over 34 million eligible wallets across Bitcoin, Cardano, XRP, Solana, Ethereum, and BNB holders, according to CryptoBasic. CoinGecko lists a maximum supply of 24 billion NIGHT and about 16.6 billion NIGHT in circulation as of October 2026.
Total supply — 24,000,000,000 NIGHT; fixed at genesis with no additional minting
Community and developer allocation — 40% of total supply; distributed through Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases
Team and investor allocation — 25% subject to a 1-year cliff followed by 4-year linear vesting
Genesis allocation — 10% distributed at TGE
Glacier Drop unlock schedule — over 4.5 billion airdropped NIGHT distributed in four equal 25% quarterly instalments over 360 days; start dates randomised between December 10, 2025 and early March 2026, meaning unlocks continue through December 2026
NIGHT → DUST relationship — holding unshielded NIGHT generates DUST over time, the renewable resource token used to pay for transaction execution on Midnight; DUST is shielded (private) and decays, preventing stockpiling
Binance Launchpool — NIGHT was distributed through Binance Launchpool, providing broad retail exposure at launch
Staking status — on-chain delegation staking for individual holders is not yet live; the network runs in a federated bootstrapping phase under Federated Node Operators; some custodians and exchanges (such as Kraken and P2P.org) offer their own reward features for NIGHT, separate from native on-chain delegation; the roadmap lets Cardano stake pool operators run Midnight validator nodes to earn NIGHT rewards
What determines NIGHT's value
NIGHT's primary value driver is adoption of the Midnight network after its March 30, 2026 mainnet launch: the mainnet is live with federated node partners, and the utility flow for NIGHT is DUST generation, which pays for private transactions and smart contract execution. The key question for the token is how much application and institutional activity builds on the live network. Individual on-chain delegation staking is not yet live, so for holders the near-term utility is DUST generation.
The secondary demand thesis is privacy infrastructure adoption: Midnight's selective disclosure model targets the compliance use case that full-anonymity chains cannot serve — regulated industries, DeFi protocols requiring audit trails, and institutional applications that need to prove transaction validity without exposing sensitive counterparty data. This positions Midnight as infrastructure for a different user segment than Monero or Zcash.
The supply-side constraint to watch is the ongoing quarterly unlock of Glacier Drop tokens through December 2026 — over 4.5 billion NIGHT distributed to airdrop participants is still thawing, and each quarterly tranche introduces predictable sell pressure until the unlock cycle closes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Midnight (NIGHT)
Midnight keeps two parallel records, public and private, built on ZK-SNARKs and the Kachina Protocol. It allows selective disclosure to auditors or counterparties without revealing the underlying data, instead of hiding everything.
A separate, shielded resource token that pays for transactions and smart contract execution on Midnight. NIGHT generates DUST, and DUST decays rather than accumulating, which prevents stockpiling.
Yes. The mainnet went live on March 30, 2026, with the genesis block and a group of federated node partners including Worldpay, Bullish, MoneyGram, Pairpoint by Vodafone, eToro, AlphaTON Capital, Google Cloud, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies.
NIGHT launched on Cardano as a native asset on December 4, 2025, before the Midnight mainnet existed.
Through the Glacier Drop (snapshot June 11, 2025, claim window August to October 2025) and the Scavenger Mine, reaching over 34 million eligible wallets across Bitcoin, Cardano, XRP, Solana, Ethereum, and BNB holders, according to CryptoBasic. NIGHT was also distributed through Binance Launchpool.
40% to community and developers, 25% to team and investors (1-year cliff, then 4-year linear vesting), and 10% at genesis, with the rest in other allocations. The full supply was minted at genesis with no inflation.
In four equal 25% instalments over 360 days. Start dates were randomised between December 10, 2025 and early March 2026, so unlocks continue through December 2026, and each tranche adds sell pressure.
Not through on-chain delegation yet. The network runs in a federated bootstrapping phase handled by Federated Node Operators, and delegation staking for individual holders is not live. Some custodians and exchanges, such as Kraken and P2P.org, offer their own reward features for NIGHT, which are separate from native delegation. Holding unshielded NIGHT generates DUST over time.
Regulated industries, DeFi protocols that need audit trails, and institutions that must prove a transaction is valid without exposing counterparty data. It targets a different segment than Monero or Zcash.
Continued unlocks through December 2026, the team and investor vesting, and the dependence on application adoption after mainnet. The network is also in an early phase with federated nodes.

The site experience was great. But choose your exchange platform wisely.
The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG
My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.
Great service with great support!
not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100
Very competitive pricing and fast support - great!
I used swapzone.io over 10 times recently and never had an issue. In fact, I had once a visual bug of the swap interface when the funds were sent but it was correct again the second I started a chat with support. In less than 2 minutes I had a very friendly employee talking to me. Very competitive pricing and fast support.
everything was fine
i successfully exchanged currencies. it took just a couple of minutes
everything is in one place
I'm new to cryptocurrency, and I'm always frightened by the choice of services. I really liked that everything is in one place here, and you can choose from familiar names and compare prices between them. The exchange took place fast and without any problems.
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)
Trusted !

Easy to understand terminal, quick transaction. A bit of slippage on promised rate compared to what received - not sure why, as prices haven't changed by that percentage.

I wanted to share my experience after encountering a failed transaction earlier today. I contacted support, and the team was incredibly fast in getting back to me.

Honestly in this industry it’s hard to fbb in f great costed service but Liam at swapzone handled an issue for me and solved it and no bs just helping me out. Thank you. My first time using swap zone to swap crypto was great and I’ll be back now .
Read this carefully
Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
perfect service
perfect service. great support. I can wholeheartedly recommend this service. The support is fast, helpful, and solution-oriented. You won't find that with other Exchange services. A++++ thanks
