One of the biggest barriers to Web3 adoption is making users think about transaction fees. 🙅

The best applications make complexity invisible.

Midnight’s DUST accumulation mechanism enables transaction sponsorship, flexible capacity management, and more seamless user experiences.

[🌸 SAKURA_ART3 🌸 @SAKURA_ART3]

The power of the #Midnight ecosystem lies in its selective privacy and dual-token model:

🔒 $NIGHT: Governance and security asset.
💨 $DUST: Automatic resource for paying gas fees.

Simply by holding NIGHT in your wallet, you constantly generate DUST. An essential resource with real utility for your wallet. 🦉🚀

[🌸 SAKURA_ART3 🌸 @SAKURA_ART3]

Hello! Welcome to the #Midnight ecosystem. A simple way to understand the four types of tokens that can be created on Midnight is to view them as a combination of two basic decisions you must make when creating your token:

Where does the token live? It can reside on a UTXO ledger (like physical banknotes in a wallet) or in a Contract Account (like a bank account managed by a smart contract).

Who can see the balances? It can be Transparent (public, visible to everyone) or Private (private, protected by zero-knowledge proof).

Combining these options yields the 4 types of Midnight tokens:

1. Contract Account / Transparent

How does it work? The token lives inside a smart contract (like Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens). The contract maintains a list stating, "User A has 50 tokens and User B has 30."

Privacy: None. Everyone can see the account balances and which contract manages them.

Use case: Ideal for public governance, voting within an organization (DAO) where everyone needs to see the results, or public NFT collections.

2. Contract Account / Private

How does it work? The token still lives within the logic of a smart contract, but individual balances are hidden using zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography. The contract knows the rules are being followed but does not reveal the actual data.

Privacy: High regarding balances. No one can see how many tokens each account holds within that contract, even though it is known that you are interacting with that specific contract.

Use case: Private decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, such as investment pools or confidential voting systems where the contract needs to process the rules of the game, but users' holdings remain secret.

3.UTXO Ledger/Transparent

How does it work? It operates on the "coin" or individual banknote model (just like Bitcoin or Cardano). If you hold 10 tokens, you don't have an account "balance"; instead, you hold, for example, a digital "banknote" worth 10. To spend it, you destroy that banknote, and the system creates two new ones (one for the recipient and the change for you).

Privacy: None. Anyone can see the digital banknotes on the blockchain, as well as where they came from and where they are going.

What is it for? Fast, high-volume token transfers that don't require complex logic such as sending a standard cryptocurrency publicly and auditably (like the native $NIGHT token).

4.UTXO Ledger/Private

How does it work? It uses the same "banknote" (UTXO) system, but the banknotes are kept inside a digital safe (shielded). When sending them, you mathematically prove that you have enough funds to make the payment without revealing your total wallet balance or the recipient's identity.

Privacy: Maximum. It is the digital equivalent of paying with cash in the real world. No one knows how many banknotes you hold or the exact value of the transaction just by looking at the blockchain.

What is it for? Absolute financial privacy for everyday use. Private payments between individuals or companies that want to transfer value efficiently and securely while keeping their finances away from prying eyes.

Now that the differences between the 4 token types in Midnight are clear, you can choose the one best suited for your project!

Midnight, 4th generation blockchain!

Are you bullish? 🖤

Midnight Foundation President Fahmi Syed on where Zcash and Monero fall short for real world adoption:

"Regulators and regulated counterparties get concerned that they don't know where the source of funds are coming from."

As for Midnight;
"Think of it like Zcash or Monero with smart contracts and programmable disclosures." 👇

🕵️‍♂️ The Problem with Current Blockchains (The "All-or-Nothing" Dilemma)

To understand #Midnight, we first need to look at the current landscape. Imagine going to a bar where the bouncer asks for your ID to verify you are of legal age:

With Bitcoin or Ethereum (public blockchains): It is as if, to enter the bar, you had to show the bouncer and everyone else in line your name, address, date of birth, and even your entire bank balance history. Everything is 100% public.

With Monero or Zcash (full-privacy blockchains): It is as if you were wearing a mask, showing nothing to anyone, with no one knowing who you are or how much money you have. The problem is that the bouncer won't let you in because they cannot verify your age, and the government might suspect you are hiding something illegal.

🌓 What Is Midnight’s Selective Privacy?

This is where Midnight (a 4th-generation blockchain developed by Input Output) comes in.

Selective privacy offers the perfect balance: it allows you to decide exactly what information you share, with whom you share it, and when.

Instead of revealing all your data, Midnight uses a mathematical technology called Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Simply put, this means you can prove something is true without revealing the underlying data that makes it true.

Returning to the bar example: with Midnight, you can prove to the bouncer that you are of legal age (a simple "Yes" or "No") without showing your actual date of birth, name, or address. The system guarantees to the bouncer that you aren't lying, yet your data remains yours alone.

💼 How Does Midnight Help the Real World Economy?

Real-world businesses and institutions do not use current blockchains because they cannot afford to make their trade secrets public; however, they also cannot use 100% anonymous networks because they must comply with the law. Midnight solves this and opens the door to the real-world economy in the following ways:

1. Supply Chains and Businesses:

Imagine Apple buying chips from a supplier. They want to record the contract on the blockchain to ensure it is secure and tamper-proof, but they don't want Samsung (their competitor) to see the price paid per chip. With Midnight, Apple can record the transaction privately; however, if tax authorities request an audit, Apple can provide a temporary "viewing key" to verify that everything is above board.

2. Digital Identity and Healthcare:

You could store your medical history on the blockchain. If you visit a new clinic, you can grant them access solely to your allergy records while keeping the rest of your private medical data hidden.

3. Financial Services and Credit:

If you apply for a loan, instead of sending the bank your account statements, tax returns, and details of your entire financial life, Midnight allows you to generate a digital certificate proving: "I earn over $2,000 a month and have no debt." The bank trusts the mathematical system and grants the loan, all while you maintain your privacy.

📌 In short: Midnight’s selective privacy protects intellectual property, personal data, and trade secrets, while simultaneously enabling companies to comply with government regulations. It is the missing link that allows everyday businesses to trust blockchain technology. 🌑✨

Most documentation dies from neglect.

In the last 6 months, the @MidnightNtwrk DevRel team treated docs like a product:

👉 1,900+ commits
👉 447 merged PRs
👉 64 contributors
👉 Hundreds of thousands of lines rewritten, removed, or improved

The result is a faster, cleaner, and more reliable experience for developers building on Midnight.

Behind every follow is someone who believes in the mission Midnight is working to achieve:
bringing programmable privacy to the real world.

We're grateful for every builder, creator, contributor, and supporter who continues to push the ecosystem forward.

"Ideally, you're steps away from having your own AI agent that is going to be capable of transacting on the blockchain." 🤖💼

Web3 onboarding has historically been a massive headache, but Midnight City is completely changing the friction game. By combining simple Discord and email logins with powerful, transaction-ready AI agents, the barrier to entry for personal finance tools is completely disappearing. 👇
