Powered by DUST
Midnight uses a unique fee token called DUST. Generated from NIGHT tokens, DUST grows in value over time and is used exclusively for transaction fees. Unlike traditional gas, DUST cannot be transferred - only spent on fees.
NIGHT Token
NIGHT is Midnight's native utility token distributed via the Glacier Drop program. NIGHT generates DUST (fee resource) over time - like solar panels generating electricity. Hold NIGHT to power transactions without volatile gas fees.
