According to @ItsDave_ADA, Midnight implements a dual-token design where NIGHT is the tradable value asset that generates DUST, and DUST is the transaction resource for the network. Source: @ItsDave_ADA; Midnight whitepaper. The Midnight whitepaper states that DUST is non-transferable between addresses and decays when detached from the NIGHT that produced it, making DUST a pure utility resource rather than a tradable privacy coin.

For traders, this concentrates economic exposure in NIGHT because transaction fuel (DUST) cannot be speculated on or hoarded independently, aligning value accrual with NIGHT holdings and network usage.

Ethereum’s base layer uses ETH as both the value asset and gas, while @ItsDave_ADA argues that separating those roles would require deep protocol changes that could break existing assumptions in contracts.

This compliance-oriented, non-transferable gas model implies privacy and transaction demand translate primarily into NIGHT demand rather than a secondary gas market, a dynamic traders should monitor for pricing and liquidity impacts.
