XRP holders now have the opportunity to claim $NIGHT tokens through Midnight Network's Glacier Drop event. This significant airdrop promises to distribute tokens across various blockchains, including XRP Ledger. If you held XRP during the snapshot on June 11, 2025, you may be eligible to receive a portion of the $NIGHT tokens.
To participate in the airdrop offered by Midnight Network, XRP holders must meet a specific condition.
According to the official technical document, to access the airdrop, users must hold at least $100 in XRP at the time of the snapshot, which was taken on June 11. This snapshot captured wallet balances across different eligible networks, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and more.
The snapshot will ensure that real users enjoy the Glacier Drop event, as it will prevent Sybil attacks and airdrop farming. With this, Midnight Network seeks to reward active and real users in their respective ecosystems. This measure is designed to provide a fair distribution of tokens to those who have actively participated in the blockchain community.
Midnight Network has identified a token issuance in three stages as part of the distribution of $NIGHT tokens. The initial phase, the Claim Phase, will last for 60 days. During this time, eligible members will be able to redeem their $NIGHT allocations. Qualifying XRP holders will receive their share based on the amount of XRP they hold at the time of the snapshot.
After the claim phase, a 30-day Scavenger Mine phase will take place. This phase will provide an opportunity for those who were not initially qualified for the airdrop. Participants will also be able to perform calculations to obtain unclaimed tokens from the night using a proof-of-work system. All unwanted tokens during the claim phase will be included in this phase.
Finally, the lost items phase offers wallets that could not claim their tokens the opportunity to recover them. However, this phase will last four years, and the amount of available tokens may vary depending on the number of unclaimed allocations. Midnight Network plans to allocate the remaining unclaimed tokens to its treasury after this period.
$NIGHT token is the main utility token within Midnight Network. With a total supply of 24 billion tokens, a significant portion will be distributed through Glacier Drop.
According to the technical report, Cardano holders will receive the largest share, with 12 billion tokens (50%) allocated. XRP holders can claim 1.2 billion tokens, part of the 7.2 billion allocated to six other blockchains, including XRP, BAT, Ethereum, and others.
The rewards for XRP holders will depend on the amount of XRP they hold at the time of the snapshot. For example, those with a larger amount of XRP will receive a greater proportion of $NIGHT tokens. The exact allocation will vary based on individual balances.
Eligible XRP holders can begin claiming their $NIGHT tokens starting in July 2025. The process is straightforward and requires users to sign with their wallets and submit a Cardano address.
There are no fees and no KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required to participate in the airdrop.
Once claimed, the $NIGHT tokens will be locked in a smart contract based on Cardano. This contract will prevent immediate massive sales by gradually releasing tokens during the Redemption Period. The tokens will unfreeze in four installments over the next year, encouraging long-term participation in the network and reducing potential market volatility.
