- 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 Economics Observatory
Real-time generation, consumption, and sustainability metrics for the Midnight Network.
Understanding DUST Economics
Generation: DUST is produced passively from staked NIGHT. Each address caps at 5x its NIGHT balance.
Consumption: Every Midnight transaction burns DUST. 1 DUST = 10^15 specks.
Sustainability: 100 = strong surplus. Healthy economies stay above 80.
