Charles Hoskinson, founder of Input Output Global (IOG), has congratulated the Midnight team for completing the deployment of the NIGHT token as a Cardano-native asset. The Midnight Foundation and Shielded Technologies have successfully minted the final version of NIGHT, which is now visible on blockchain explorers. The full launch of the NIGHT token is set for December 8, 2025. On launch day, 25% of the token allocations will be redeemable, with the remaining distribution planned over a 12-month period.
