Midnight And $NIGHT: A Token Design That Could Change How Blockchain Handles Privacy

Most blockchains today are completely transparent, but that has become a barrier for many real-world applications. @MidnightNetwork is trying to solve this problem with a quite different architecture.
Token $NIGHT plays the role of governance and value asset of the network, while operating resources are separated into DUST — a unit used for computation and transaction fees.
The interesting point is that DUST doesn't need to be purchased, but is regenerated over time when you hold NIGHT. This helps users avoid needing to sell governance tokens to pay network fees.
Midnight also uses Zero-Knowledge Proof technology to allow smart contracts to process data without needing to publicly disclose sensitive information.
If the ecosystem of private dApps develops strongly, the NIGHT + DUST model could become a new direction for blockchain.
Sometimes, the biggest innovation doesn't lie in the token — but in how the entire system behind it is designed. #night
