The Midnight Airdrop has officially launched with the first phase—Glacier Drop. Users holding certain cryptocurrencies can claim free $NIGHT tokens without the need to purchase.
What is the Midnight Airdrop?
The Midnight Airdrop is a multi-phase token distribution event targeting holders across eight major blockchains: Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), Avalanche (AVAX), XRP, and Basic Attention Token (BAT).
To qualify, your wallet must have held at least $100 worth of native tokens on one of these networks during the snapshot period. The token distribution breakdown is as follows: 50% for Cardano holders, 20% for Bitcoin, and 30% for other networks.
Step-by-Step Guide to Claim $NIGHT Tokens
To claim $NIGHT tokens via the Glacier Drop portal, follow these steps:
1. Choose Origin Address — this is your snapshot wallet. 2. Select Destination Address — where your $NIGHT tokens will go. 3. Accept Terms — agree to the conditions listed. 4. Sign the Redeem — use your wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet) to verify.
The portal supports various wallets depending on the blockchain you’re claiming from.
Issues with Claiming Tokens for Cardano Users
Some Cardano users faced issues with message signing while using Ledger devices. The Glacier Drop redeem uses a 251-byte payload, whereas Ledger’s ADA version only supports up to 31 bytes. Charles Hoskinson acknowledged the issue and confirmed that the team has prepared a workaround using a null transaction with metadata.
The official $NIGHT team has reassured the community that there’s no rush; ADA users can safely return later without losing their claim.
The Midnight Airdrop provides a unique opportunity for crypto users across multiple chains. With a structured rollout and strong community interest, along with potential listings ahead, it is worth exploring.
