Midnight charges fees in DUST, not ADA, so Cardano demand isn't a direct beneficiary
- —Midnight is a standalone L1 with its own ledger, not a Cardano L2
- —DUST is generated in proportion to NIGHT holdings and refills over seven days
- —Roadmap: block rewards in NIGHT in Q4 2026, NIGHT staking in Q1 2027
- —Node operators include Google Cloud, Worldpay, MoneyGram and Bullish
Why it matters: Growing Midnight usage does not translate into ADA demand, changing how holders should value the Cardano-Midnight link.
