What is the $NIGHT Token?

is the main crypto token from Midnight Network. (People sometimes call it $MIDNIGHT because of the project name.) Midnight is a new blockchain that focuses on privacy. It uses special technology called zero-knowledge proofs. This hides private information but still lets everyone check that things are correct.
Many blockchains show all data to the public. This is good for some things, but bad for personal or business secrets. Midnight solves this. It gives "rational privacy" — you choose what to hide and what to show. It is safe, fast, and works with rules.
Midnight comes from the team that made Cardano. Charles Hoskinson leads it. Midnight connects to Cardano like a partner chain. This means it uses Cardano's security and tools, but it is special for privacy.
The token does important jobs:
It is for governance — holders vote on changes to the network.
You can stake it to help secure the network and earn rewards.
Holding $NIGHT automatically creates DUST. DUST is a second token for private actions (like hidden transactions). DUST "burns" or decays after use to protect privacy.
Total supply of is 24 billion tokens. Right now (mid-March 2026), about 16.6 billion are circulating. The rest come slowly over time (called thawing).
Price now is around $0.050 to $0.051 USD. In the last 24 hours, it moved up or down a little (like +0.05% to +2%). Trading volume is high — often $80 million to $100 million per day. Market cap is about $840 million to $850 million. This puts it in the top 60-80 coins. The highest price ever was near $0.12 in late 2025. It changes fast like all crypto.
You can buy on big exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and others. Most trade with USDT.
Why is interesting in 2026? Privacy is very important now. Governments want rules, companies want secret data, people want private money or health info. Midnight makes private smart contracts easy. Developers can build apps for finance, health, voting — all with real privacy.
