# Midnight Data

> Midnight blockchain data on Dune

## What is Midnight?

Midnight is a privacy-focused partner chain of Cardano. It uses zero-knowledge proofs and the Compact language for programmable privacy, with a dual-ledger model that supports both shielded (private) and unshielded (public) state.

Midnight separates value from network capacity: **NIGHT** is the unshielded native utility and governance token, and holding NIGHT generates **DUST**, a shielded, non-transferable resource consumed to pay transaction fees. The network inherits security properties from Cardano through the partner-chain framework while running its own consensus and application layer.

## Key Features

* **Programmable privacy**: Zero-knowledge smart contracts written in Compact
* **Dual ledger**: Shielded and unshielded state on the same network
* **NIGHT + DUST**: NIGHT for utility/governance; DUST for fee payment
* **Cardano partner chain**: Linked to Cardano for settlement and staking-related flows (including cNIGHT registrations)
* **UTXO-style unshielded outputs**: Public UTXO tracking alongside private ledger events

## Midnight Data on Dune

Midnight data on Dune is a custom (non-EVM) schema under `midnight.*`. Tables cover blocks, transactions, ledger events, contract actions, unshielded UTXOs, DUST generation, cNIGHT registrations, and stake-pool / committee metadata.
