CARDANO'S MIDNIGHT TO AIRDROP DROP TOKENS ON 8 BLOCKCHAINS WITH NO VCS

- Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, unveiled “Glacier Drop,” at Consensus 2025 in Toronto.

- The airdrop aims to distribute @MidnightNtwrk’s native tokens—NIGHT and DUST—to 37 million wallets spanning eight blockchains: BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, SOL, BSC, AVAX, and POL.

- Midnight, Cardano's privacy-focused sidechain, will allow developers and users to interact seamlessly across chains without complicated token swaps.

- Network fees can be paid in native tokens from any supported blockchain, and validators from all ecosystems can earn rewards.

- Hoskinson said no venture capitalists would get a cut. Unlike most airdrops, Glacier Drop bypasses big investors, putting tokens directly into the hands of everyday crypto users.

- Recipients are free to hold, trade, or ignore NIGHT and DUST as they wish.

- Midnight is still in the testnet phase, with mainnet expected by year-end 2025. Hoskinson described the project as his favorite, a chance to “be friends with everybody” in space.
