Most people assume the token you buy is the one you spend on gas, but Midnight just proved that doesn't have to be true.
I've watched too many traders in past cycles dump their bags just to cover fees that felt like a tax on hope. That fear of watching conviction get eaten alive never really fades, especially when FOMO hits and you need to move.
$ADA built its model around using the native asset for every transaction, and $NEAR did the same with its transferable token covering network activity. It works until activity spikes and sell pressure shows up right when you least want it. Midnight splits the two completely. $NIGHT stays the public governance and value asset you actually want to hold. Register it and it generates DUST, the resource that pays for private transactions without touching your stack.
DUST isn't another conventional token. It's non-transferable and regenerates over time, so the chain stays usable without constantly draining what you believe in.
What's your take on decoupling value from fees like this?
