Midnight TGE, the entity responsible for distributing NIGHT, the Midnight Network’s native utility token, today announced an increase in the total token allocation for Scavenger Mine, the second phase of the network’s multi-phase token distribution.
The allocation has been expanded from 626 million to 1 billion NIGHT tokens, following unprecedented community participation and sustained engagement since the phase launched last week. The reallocation ensures that more tokens flow directly to active participants who are contributing computational resources and helping decentralize the network.
“The level of enthusiasm and contribution from the Midnight community has been extraordinary,” said Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation. “By increasing the allocation to one billion NIGHT, we’re celebrating the scale of participation and ensuring more of the network’s value goes to those helping bring Midnight’s vision of rational privacy to life.”
