A new airdrop campaign called the “Glacier Drop” officially launched on August 5, opening the door for eligible crypto users to claim allocations of the NIGHT token.
The airdrop spans eight major blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Cardano, Avalanche, Ripple’s XRP Ledger, and Brave.
Eligibility for this first phase was based on a snapshot taken on June 11. Wallets that held at least $100 worth of native tokens on any of the supported networks at the time qualified to receive the airdrop.
Airdrop Rolls Out in Three Phases
The launch marks the beginning of a three-stage distribution process designed to encourage fairness and long-term engagement.
The current “Claim Phase” is now live and will remain open for 60 days.
After that, a 30-day “Scavenger Mine” will begin, allowing users to earn unclaimed tokens through on-chain activity.
Finally, the project will introduce a “Lost-and-Found” phase, lasting four years after the mainnet launch, where eligible users who missed earlier rounds can still claim their tokens.
By structuring the rollout in phases, the Glacier Drop team hopes to build a more sustainable and participatory community around the NIGHT token.
How can users participate in that airdrop?
To participate, users must connect their wallets to Midnight’s official portal to verify eligibility and initiate the non-custodial claim process.
However, recipients won’t be able to trade their NIGHT tokens right away. Instead, token unlocks will take place during a post-mainnet “Redemption Period,” which will feature four randomized unlock events spread over 360 days.
“This airdrop is a rethink of how value and access can be distributed across chains, communities, and use cases, and is designed to resist manipulation and encourage long-term engagement.”
Fahmi Syed, president of the Midnight Foundation.
Midnight, the privacy-focused blockchain behind the initiative, is leveraging zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure tools to bring a new layer of confidentiality to smart contracts.
