Midnight Generates More Interest Than Parent Network Cardano, Says Analyst

• Content creator Big Pey says Midnight content receives more views than Cardano material currently.
• Midnight distributed 24 billion NIGHT tokens across 34 million wallets in Glacier Drop airdrop.
• Project plans mainnet launch before end of 2025 with token distribution upon market entry.

The Midnight project is attracting greater user attention than Cardano, according to prominent community figure Big Pey. The Cardano content creator shared this assessment based on engagement metrics from his YouTube channel.

Big Pey stated in a recent post on X that his viewing data indicates people are currently more interested in Midnight than Cardano. He claims his Midnight-focused content receives higher views and engagement compared to material covering Cardano directly. This pattern persists despite Midnight’s close connection to Cardano as a privacy-focused sidechain within the ADA ecosystem.

Partnerships fuel growing confidence

Midnight has established collaborations with several prominent entities including Brave, Google Cloud, etc. These partnerships have contributed to increasing market confidence in the project’s trajectory and potential applications.

The NIGHT token airdrop has played a major role in generating interest beyond the Cardano community. Midnight executed what it described as the largest airdrop in history, distributing 24 billion NIGHT tokens to over 34 million wallets through the Glacier Drop initiative.

The airdrop spans seven blockchains including Cardano, Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. This multi-chain approach expands Midnight’s reach beyond the Cardano ecosystem, as claimants from various blockchain communities await the token’s launch.

Big Pey offered his perspective on when the Midnight team might launch NIGHT tokens. According to the content creator, this could occur when Cardano enters a bullish market phase. “Seems like Night is going to launch as soon as the Cardano bull market starts,” he stated.

Mainnet launch scheduled for 2025

Midnight has announced plans to launch its mainnet before the end of 2025. The project intends to distribute NIGHT tokens alongside its market entrance. The team recently minted all 24 billion tokens designated for distribution, signaling the launch timeline is approaching.

The privacy-focused sidechain aims to provide data protection features while maintaining compatibility with the Cardano ecosystem. This positioning appeals to users seeking blockchain applications with enhanced privacy capabilities compared to transparent public ledgers.

The disparity in interest between Midnight and Cardano, as observed by Big Pey, highlights how new projects within an ecosystem can sometimes capture more attention than the parent network. This dynamic may reflect market participants’ appetite for novel protocols with specific use cases rather than established platforms.
