Understanding Midnight
What to know about Midnight
Midnight is a Cardano partner chain designed around selective disclosure, using zero-knowledge proofs so applications can verify facts without publishing the underlying data. Shielded and unshielded assets coexist on the network, with NIGHT as the native token and DUST as a non-transferable resource used only to pay fees.
| Type | Layer 1 (Cardano partner chain) |
| model | UTXO |
| Ecosystem | Cardano |
| Address | Bech32m (mn_addr… unshielded, mn_shield-addr… shielded) |
| Token standards | No finalized standard · native NIGHT · DUST (non-transferable fee resource) · contract-issued custom tokens |
| Smart contracts | Yes (Compact) |
- Shielded and unshielded assets run side by side, so what is visible depends on which one was used: unshielded transfers publish addresses and amounts, shielded transfers do not.
- One seed derives all three address types (unshielded, shielded, DUST), so several address forms can belong to one entity. The unshielded-to-DUST link is publicly recorded by the DUST registration; the shielded address is not publicly linkable to either.
