The Midnight project is generating more user interest than its parent network, Cardano, according to a prominent community pundit.
Big Pey, a Cardano content creator, came to this conclusion in his recent X post. He claimed that his YouTube views suggest people are more interested in Midnight than in Cardano at the moment.
This suggests that his content on Midnight receives more views and engagement than his Cardano content; hence, his recent claims. Remarkably, this disparity comes despite the close relationship between Midnight and Cardano. Recall that Midnight is a privacy-focused Cardano sidechain and, as such, a part of the ADA ecosystem.
“People Love New Stuff”
Meanwhile, Big Pey noted that this might be because of the buzz typically associated with “new stuff.” He suggested that newer innovations usually attract early interest as users are eager to test them out. This comment was in response to a reaction noting that the interest might be due to speculations surrounding the Midnight launch.
Notably, Midnight has been generating significant buzz in the Cardano ecosystem, a sentiment that even Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson shares. The IOG CEO, who is also an Ethereum co-founder, recently noted that the privacy-focused project has placed Cardano in the spotlight again and called the sidechain the “most transformational project in Cardano’s history.”
The optimism around Midnight further strengthens as it forges significant partnerships with prominent entities. The project has collaborated with Brave, Google Cloud, Blockchain.com, and Bitcoin.com, among others, and market users are growing increasingly confident in its trajectory.
Pundit Reveals When NIGHT Would Launch
Another reason Midnight has garnered greater interest is its NIGHT token airdrop. The project took on the largest airdrop in history, distributing 24 billion NIGHT tokens to over 34 million wallets in the Glacier Drop.
The airdrop spans over seven blockchains, including Cardano, Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, another factor for its popularity. Its multi-chain feature means its proponents are beyond the Cardano system, as claimants anticipate the token’s launch.
Meanwhile, Big Pey revealed when the Midnight team may likely launch NIGHT. According to him, this could happen when Cardano enters a bull market run.
Seems like Night is going to launch as soon as the Cardano bull market starts. 👀

“Seems like Night is going to launch as soon as the Cardano bull market starts,” he tweeted.
Remarkably, Midnight has already announced it will launch on mainnet before the end of 2025 and distribute NIGHT tokens alongside its market entrance. It recently minted all 24 billion tokens for distribution, signaling its launch is on the horizon.
