The market just hasn’t been the same recently, and even launchpool events aren’t as frequent as they used to be. If you’re one of the lucky ones to hold stablecoins during the recent market downturn, you can put them to good use in KuCoin’s latest launchpool.
Midnight GemPool: Big Rewards and Privacy Driven Tech
KuCoin opens December with a strong entry as Midnight, a data protection blockchain built for real world use, joins GemPool. The launch brings a packed reward campaign, fresh staking opportunities, and a project built around practical privacy. The event begins on December 9, 2025, giving you a full week to stake KCS, USD1, or NIGHT and earn from a 12 million NIGHT prize pool.
Trading for NIGHT tokens is already live! The timing lines up with growing interest in practical privacy solutions, especially those that can meet regulatory demands without draining performance. Midnight aims to fill that gap with a chain built from day one for privacy first applications.
GemPool Campaign Details
The GemPool event offers 12,000,000 NIGHT in rewards from a total supply of 24,000,000,000 NIGHT. You can join any of the three supported pools and start earning as soon as the farming period begins.
The campaign runs from 4:00 on December 9, 2025 to 10:00 on December 16, 2025, and KYC verification is required for participation. Hourly reward caps apply to each user, with limits set at 3,500 NIGHT for the KCS pool, 2,500 NIGHT for the USD1 pool, and 1,100 NIGHT for the NIGHT pool.
Supported Pools
| Pool | Total Rewards (NIGHT) | Start (UTC) | End (UTC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCS | 6,000,000 | Dec 9, 4:00 | Dec 16, 4:00 |
| USD1 | 4,200,000 | Dec 9, 4:00 | Dec 16, 4:00 |
| NIGHT | 1,800,000 | Dec 9, 10:00 | Dec 16, 10:00 |
The core formula remains simple. Your rewards equal your share of the total staked amount multiplied by the pool’s prize allocation. KuCoin takes frequent snapshots every hour to calculate average balances. Rewards start in the hour after you stake and update hourly. You can claim them anytime during the event.
Get Easy Bonus Rewards
- Quiz: Complete the 1-minute event quiz to receive a ten percent bonus on your GemPool earnings.
- Invite friends: You can invite friends who register and join GemPool, which increases your rewards by up to one hundred percent depending on the number of valid invitees.
- VIP tiers: You can earn an additional bonus tied to your KuCoin VIP level, with the highest VIP tiers receiving up to twenty percent extra.

Key Participation Rules
You can enable Auto Lock for GemPool rewards without affecting your regular balance. Each asset can be staked in only one pool at a time. You can unstake anytime and shift assets into other pools, but rewards stop the moment you exit a pool. At the end of each period, staked tokens and unclaimed rewards move to your Funding Account, and funds return within roughly thirty minutes.

About Midnight: Web3 Privacy Solution
Midnight aims to solve one of the toughest problems in digital systems: keeping data private while still allowing verification. It positions itself as a next generation chain where developers can build regulation friendly apps that guard personal and commercial data. The project focuses on making privacy simple enough for builders and strong enough for industries that handle sensitive information every day.
Because Midnight uses zero knowledge technology, your data never leaves your device. The chain relies on ZK Snarks to separate public and private inputs, which keeps sensitive information on the owner’s system. The network verifies truth through concise proofs rather than exposed data, and that model helps protect identity while keeping integrity intact. This approach makes Midnight a gateway to on chain data protection, powered by ZK and backed by a growing ecosystem of partners.
Finance benefits from programmable privacy that balances confidentiality with selective transparency. AI systems gain secure access to datasets without compromising ethics. Governance applications can run confidential voting while keeping final outcomes auditable. Healthcare can unlock siloed data without exposing personal records. Consumer and social apps can give people control over their digital footprint again. Tooling becomes easier as Midnight abstracts complex cryptography into approachable systems.
Its ecosystem includes teams such as OpenZeppelin, Maestro, Paima Studios, Sindri, CheckIT Labs, FIWORK, Vacuumlabs, NMKR, Sundae Labs, Fluid Tokens, Cherry Servers, and Zoniqx. These groups build infrastructure, developer tools, and applications that push data protection deeper into Web3. Midnight also runs a request for startups program that encourages new teams to explore privacy enhanced solutions across major industries.
