Milestone moment: NIGHT is now live. 🕛

With today’s launch of NIGHT as a Cardano Native Asset (CNA), we’re officially kicking off the countdown to redemptions for the more than 4.5B tokens claimed during the Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases.

This marks the first step in bringing NIGHT to the community as we continue progressing toward a fully decentralized Midnight mainnet.

Redemption windows will open in phases (“thaws”). The redemption portal will launch shortly beforehand to allow people to preview their allocations and thawing schedules ahead of time.

➡️ Learn what this means, how redemptions work, and what to expect next: HERE

Remember to follow @midnightntwrk on X and join us over on Discord for more updates.

Midnight mainnet is coming.

On the #ConsensusHK stage, we shared that Midnight mainnet will officially go live before the end of March. This marks a major milestone and the beginning of a live, production network designed to support early applications built around selective disclosure and real-world privacy.

Mainnet is foundational. It provides a stable environment for builders to launch, test, and iterate, while setting the stage for rapid protocol and tooling expansion ahead.

Join the conversation LIVE as we unpack how to get started with Midnight mainnet and what to expect.
