Published by

Cardano fans have waited months for this day, and now the moment is finally here. Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has officially confirmed that NIGHT, the native token of Midnight, will launch on December 8, 2025. 

The token will officially roll out on December 8, 2025, with both distribution and trading starting the same day.

NIGHT Token To Launch on December 8

Charles Hoskinson delivered the news during the first day of the Midnight Summit, a multi-day gathering focused on the future of data protection and private computation on Cardano. 

With this announcement, the Midnight team confirmed that eligible participant will receive their NIGHT tokens on December 8. This includes participants in early ecosystem programs, community contributors, and users involved in the project’s testing phases.

But not all tokens will come at once. The rest will be given out slowly in four small parts over the next year. This helps the project stay strong and grow in a steady way.

Exchange Planning To List Night Token Too

Alongside the distribution, multiple cryptocurrency exchanges are preparing to list NIGHT on launch day. This means that trading will go live almost instantly, giving the token immediate liquidity and visibility. 

Although the names of participating exchanges have not been officially disclosed, insiders say that several tier-one platforms have already completed integrations.

Meanwhile, this dual launch, distribution plus instant exchange listings, is a strong signal that the Midnight team wants a smooth and widely accessible rollout.

Why Midnight Matters for Cardano

The announcement has made the Cardano community very excited. As Midnight is Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain, which keeps important information private and safe. It lets people build apps that protect users without breaking any rules.

Since privacy is a big topic today, many people think this launch will bring more attention and more builders to Cardano.

With the launch on December 8, everyone sees this as a big moment. The countdown to Midnight has begun.
