Midnight
Midnight is a zero-knowledge Layer 1 network designed for selective privacy—enabling developers and enterprises to build confidential, compliant, and composable smart contracts with full control over data exposure.
The Glacier Drop is officially LIVE ⏳ Eligible wallets can claim their share of the 24 billion $NIGHT token supply until October 3, 2025. No tokens are allocated to insiders, VCs, or the team—100% goes to the community across eight major chains. This is one of the most ambitious and transparent token distributions in Web3 history ❄️
Snapshot eligibility was determined based on balances held June 11, 2025:
– 50% to Cardano ($ADA ) holders – 20% to Bitcoin ($BTC ) holders – 30% to holders of $ETH , $SOL , $XRP , $BNB , $AVAX , and $BAT , distributed proportionally to their relative USD value
Unclaimed tokens will enter the Scavenger Mine phase with future earning opportunities via proof-of-work tasks, so make sure to claim your allocation before the window closes 🪂
About Midnight
Designed for real-world adoption, Midnight brings programmable privacy to Web3 through selective disclosure and zero-knowledge smart contracts that balance confidentiality with regulatory compatibility.
Developers build on Midnight using Compact—a TypeScript-based language tailored for privacy-preserving applications. With granular control over data exposure, it supports everything from identity systems and financial infrastructure to AI agents and permissioned dApps.
The network operates on a dual-token architecture: $NIGHT is used for governance and utility, while $DUST—a non-transferable, shielded resource—is passively generated to cover transaction fees. This model decouples value from gas, ensuring private execution across the ecosystem.
