DUST Console
One place for everything DUST: how it works, what the network is doing right now, what your transaction will cost, and where the supply is going.
Static on-chain constants from the Midnight ledger spec. These are protocol facts, not live values.

Generation Rates
— NIGHTHow DUST Generation Works
DUST is the gas token on Midnight. It is generated passively by holders of NIGHT on Cardano.
- Each NIGHT generates DUST at
8,267 specks/star/sec - Max capacity is
5 DUST per NIGHT held - Full capacity reaches in
~7 days - DUST is non-transferable and decays when backing NIGHT is spent

DUST Generation Estimate
Projection from published protocol constants and the stated assumptions below — not live on-chain economics.

Understanding this estimate
Generation: DUST is produced passively from staked NIGHT, capped at 5× an address's NIGHT balance. The figures above are a projection from the assumed staked-NIGHT amount — not a measured network total.
Why no consumption / net-flow / sustainability? Those need a real per-transaction DUST fee, which is not yet available from the indexer. Rather than show a guessed fee, those metrics are intentionally omitted. 1 DUST = 10^15 specks.
DUST Sponsorship
One wallet can pay another's DUST fee. WalletFacade supports it natively, useful while DUST is warming up.
