[Privacy Blockchain Network Midnight Launches Mainnet, with Google Cloud and MoneyGram Among Node Operators] Foresight News reports that the privacy blockchain network Midnight, supported by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, has officially launched. It aims to provide end-to-end programmable privacy protection. The network's core architecture includes a hybrid ledger structure, client-side zero-knowledge proofs, privacy and non-privacy assets (Shielded & Unshielded Assets), and selective disclosure functionality. Midnight adopts a dual-token economic model: NIGHT serves as the governance and utility token, used to generate network resource DUST; DUST is used to pay transaction fees and operates in a regenerative "battery-like" model. Additionally, the network employs a development language called Compact, based on TypeScript, designed to lower the development threshold for zero-knowledge proof technology. The network has entered its initial phase, with partners such as Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Worldpay, Bullish, Vodafone's Pairpoint, eToro, AlphaTON Capital, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies operating as federated nodes. It will gradually transition to a decentralized phase in the future.
