Charles Hoskinson Confirms: Midnight Airdrop to Reach 37M Users — Including XRP Holders!
At #ParisBlockchainWeek2025, Cardano founder @IOHK_Charles dropped major alpha:
The Midnight “Glacier Drop” will target 37 million users across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, XRP, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, and more.
Why it matters:
Midnight is Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain built for secure, compliant data sharing — no asset conversion needed thanks to chain abstraction.
Eligible users will receive:
$NIGHT — Governance token
$DUST — For private, shielded transactions
This marks the next leap in crypto evolution:
> 1st Gen = Decentralization
2nd Gen = Smart Contracts
3rd Gen = Interoperability
4th Gen = Privacy
Midnight testnet is ramping up with new upgrades & a partnership with OpenZeppelin for privacy-first DeFi.
XRP holders, Cardano just slid your name into the drop list.
Are you ready?
