Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson clarified that the newly introduced NIGHT token is designed to complement, not replace, ADA. NIGHT serves as a privacy layer for Cardano's decentralized applications (dApps), enhancing the ecosystem's utility. ADA holders benefited from the token's launch, receiving 50% of the airdrop, while the rest was distributed across seven other blockchain networks. Hoskinson also highlighted Cardano's potential to become a cross-chain liquidity hub for Bitcoin DeFi, emphasizing the network's expanding role in the broader cryptocurrency landscape.
