Here’s How to Claim Cardano’s Midnight Glacier Token Airdrop on XRP, Bitcoin Ethereum and More

Cardano’s new project, Midnight, is giving away free tokens through its big Glacier airdrop, and it’s already being sent to over 37 million wallets across major blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, XRP, Solana, BNB, AVAX, and BAT.

What You’re Getting:

As explained by an analyst, eligible users will receive NIGHT, the main utility token for Cardano’s Midnight privacy-focused sidechain. Another token called DUST) will also be involved for shielding transactions. 50% of the airdrop goes to ADA holders, 20% to BTC, and 30% is shared by the rest based on USD value.

How to Claim:

1. Go to the official Midnight Claim Portal (to be announced soon).
   
2. Enter your origin wallet address (where you held eligible tokens).
   
3. Enter a brand new, unused Cardano wallet address (destination).
   
4. Accept terms, sign the claim, and wait for your tokens to thaw.
   
5. Every 90 days, 25% of your tokens unlock, you can claim gradually or wait for all to thaw.

Missed Out? You Still Have Options:

If you didn’t qualify, Phase 2 (Scavenger Mine) lets anyone use their computer’s power to earn leftover tokens. No special hardware is required. Phase 3 (Lost & Found) gives a final chance to eligible users who didn’t claim in time, but this step must be done directly through the smart contract.

The redemption process starts after the airdrop and unlocks tokens slowly. Just make sure you keep a small amount of ADA in your wallet for transaction fees. If you don’t claim within 360 days, the tokens go to the Cardano treasury.

When Is the Claim Period?

While the claim portal isn’t open yet, Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, is expected to give more info during the Rare Evo conference (August 6–10).
