What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Real institutional backing and a live ZK privacy mainnet make it strategically relevant to trust/credential work, but federated control, severe token economics, and regulatory headwinds mean it cannot yet be a load-bearing dependency.
Next
Evaluate Midnight only as a privacy-credential R&D track (selective-disclosure / ZK use cases) on testnet; do not couple the live NIGHT token or DUST resource to any ecosystem checkout or trust-graph dependency (Rules #9, #29, #38) until decentralization advances (Mohalu/Hua) and token volatility settles.
