Today, while scrolling through Douyin, I suddenly saw 'The cabbage is smiling at me' trending. In the video, a cabbage emoji is paired with a catchy BGM. When I checked the comments, they were all about 'I'm going to get rich today! Wealth is here!' But when I clicked in, my balance was still in the three-digit range, and I instantly laughed like a pig. It's as hot as a hotpot base in Hong Kong at midnight, and the mosquitoes made me question my life. I simply got up to scroll through the square to vent, and by the way, let’s talk about @MidnightNetwork #night $NIGHT ; at least it has a bit of 'wealth' flavor in this sea, so I won’t continue to be stranded. The Midnight Network is as low-key as an invisible rich person, but this 'rational privacy' approach is really a bit harsh. Using zero-knowledge proofs directly breaks the deadlock of 'privacy' and 'compliance': you can prove 'I've collateralized enough' and 'I haven't laundered money' without having to reveal your wallet history, specific holdings, or ID card. When borrowing, only provide a qualified proof; during KYC, only give a compliant nod; when sharing corporate data, only show necessary parts; and keep trade secrets tightly guarded. The total supply of $NIGHT is 24 billion, with governance + incentives as the main business, and holding the currency can slowly generate DUST — the 'bullet' of privacy trading, which burns once used, preventing spam while providing real utility for loyal fans. Now Binance can directly trade, and the depth is still tough. There are fewer people under #night, but they are fierce, with someone mentioning a Cardano collaboration; future nodes might all be veterans... (By the way, with 'The cabbage is smiling at me' being so popular, if $NIGHT had an emoji too, would I get rich today?) The project is still early, the ecosystem is just emerging, and the speed of landing and whether regulation will directly take it down are all bets to be made. But this 'non-extreme' privacy route, in an environment where cards can be frozen at any moment, feels much better than seeing my balance hit bottom...
