DUST Is Live on Midnight: Here’s the Wallet Setup That Lets You Start Generating It

This episode walks through how to generate DUST on the Midnight network using a Lace wallet setup. Peter explains the dual-token model, where NIGHT is the transferable asset and DUST is used for gas fees, then shows the full registration flow from connecting a Cardano wallet to pairing a Midnight wallet and confirming the transaction.

The tutorial also covers the practical steps needed before DUST generation can begin, including swapping ADA for NIGHT, authorising the Midnight registration flow, and reviewing the transaction details carefully before signing. Peter closes with a reminder about wallet security, the importance of never sharing seed phrases, and why self-custody remains a key part of the Midnight experience.

Key Takeaways:

• Midnight uses a dual-token model where NIGHT is the transferable asset and DUST is used for gas fees.
• Lace Wallet now supports the steps needed to register a wallet for Midnight integration.
• You need to connect a Cardano wallet first, then connect or create the matching Midnight wallet.
• If your wallet does not already hold NIGHT, you may need to swap ADA for NIGHT before pairing and registration.
• The registration flow includes authorising the application and signing a transaction to pair the Cardano and Midnight addresses.
• DUST generation does not require handing over custody of your ADA or NIGHT assets to a third party.
• The interface may take time to sync, so patience is important during the early stage of the network.
• Wallet security still matters: never share your seed phrase and verify every transaction before signing.
