Basic Attention Token

Date: Mon, Oct 13, 2025 | 10:45 AM GMT The cryptocurrency market is staging a strong comeback today after the recent market-wide crash that dragged Ethereum (ETH) to a low of $3,447 before rebounding to around $4,150, marking an impressive 8% gain in the last 24 hours. Alongside ...

Within the Cardano ecosystem, Midnight’s long-trailed token distribution has moved from promise to production. At 13:00 UTC on August 5, the Midnight Foundation opened the Glacier Drop claim portal, kicking off a 60-day window for eligible addresses across eight ecosystems to redeem NIGHT, the network’s native token. “The first step toward rational privacy online begins now,” the foundation wrote in its launch note, adding that “nearly 34 million eligible addresses across eight blockchain ecosystems” can participate via the official portal at claim.midnight.gd. The claim window, it said, runs until 13:00 UTC on October 4. Cardano Glacier Drop Goes Live The rollout drew immediate traffic. The Midnight Foundation reported “a phenomenal response in the first few hours,” citing “close to 5,000 ecosystem members who have successfully claimed over 80M NIGHT tokens.” A few hours later, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said he was “blown away” by the pace: “Already 11000 redemptions for 250,000,000 night!” Hoskinson also framed the infrastructure behind Glacier Drop as a technical first for large-scale distributions. “This application is probably the most complex ever built in the history of distributions in crypto,” he wrote, describing “ 8 ecosystems… 7 blockchains all with different addresses and crypto, regulatory compliance, auditability, and a huge smart contract,” and adding that “the millions of claims are flowing first to a Hydra head. The GD is the Hydra application running with Cardano main net.” He cautioned that “there will be bugs, UX issues, and some people will have to wait a little bit,” which is why the claim phase spans two months. Midnight’s launch post emphasizes that Glacier Drop is phase one of a three-stage distribution (to be followed by Scavenger Mine and a Lost-and-Found period). The foundation says eligibility was determined by a pre-announced snapshot across eight ecosystems, including Cardano, Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and BAT on Ethereum. The foundation’s breakdown for the Glacier Drop phase allocates 12 billion NIGHT to Cardano addresses, 4.8 billion to Bitcoin, roughly 2.623 billion to XRPL, 2.3054 billion to Ethereum, 1.4291 billion to Solana, about 796.054 million to BNB Chain, 43.2753 million to Avalanche, and 3.1813 million to BAT on Ethereum.Midnight also underscores that the only claim URL is claim.midnight.gd and lists its verified X accounts to help users avoid impersonators. How To Claim Your Share The claim mechanism itself is deliberately simple and auditable. According to the foundation, participants complete two steps: first, “demonstrate custody” by cryptographically signing a message from the eligible address; second, provide a new, unused Cardano address to receive NIGHT. Midnight says detailed instructions, an eligibility checker, and a set of verified compatible wallets are accessible from the portal. Not everything worked out-of-the-box. On day one, users of Ledger hardware wallets for ADA encountered an implementation limit in Ledger’s support for Cardano’s CIP-8 message signing. “It apparently only supports signing messages up to 31 bytes whereas the GD payload is 251 bytes,” Hoskinson wrote, describing it as “a Cardano-specific issue with Ledger’s software.” He said the team is deploying a temporary workaround “common in the NFT space” that signs a null transaction carrying the 251-byte payload as metadata, and stressed that “there is no difference redeeming today or a few weeks from now,” as the claim phase lasts two months. Third-party coverage and Midnight’s own updates echoed the 31-byte versus 251-byte mismatch and noted that Ledger has not yet provided a timeline for an update. Midnight simultaneously warned users against improvising cryptographic proofs with opaque or hashed messages to “hack” around hardware-wallet limitations. “This method of claiming introduces a potential and significant security risk to the wallet owner,” the foundation said, pointing users to two explainers on signature-based attacks and blind-signing hazards. Those advisories show how a single, non-transparent signature can be enough to authorize malicious actions or expose keys. The foundation’s guidance reduces to three imperatives. First, start at the official portal—“the only official URL for the claim portal is claim.midnight.gd”—and verify the handle of any X account you rely on for updates. Second, follow the portal’s process to sign a human-verifiable message proving control of the eligible address and to submit a fresh Cardano destination address for NIGHT. Third, if you’re an ADA holder using Ledger, wait for the supported path to appear in the portal rather than attempting an unsupported signature flow.As Hoskinson put it to affected users: “If you are one of the impacted people, then come back towards the end of the month and try again. No one lost their night or place in line.” Beyond token logistics, Midnight casts Glacier Drop as a test of Cardano’s scaling and programmability in production conditions. Hoskinson said the distribution “pushed the bounds of our ecosystem, its technology, and the perception of Cardano as a whole,” highlighting Hydra as the execution layer for intake before on-chain settlement. The foundation, for its part, positions NIGHT as the incentive layer for “rational privacy,” with the claim phase designed for breadth and verifiable inclusion across chains. At press time, the Cardano (ADA) token traded at $0.72.

The Cardano ecosystem team has launched the claim portal for the Glacier airdrop, opening up the first phase of the Midnight (NIGHT) distribution. Following the launch, 33.6 million eligible addresses across eight major blockchains can now claim their free NIGHT tokens on the portal. The supported blockchains include XRP Ledger, Cardano, Solana, Bitcoin, BNB, Ethereum, Basic Attention Token, and Avalanche. Notably, the Glacier airdrop portal went live just a day after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson teased its launch in a cryptic tweet. It was captioned “tomorrow kids” and was accompanied by a GIF, which reads “So it begins.” Expectedly, the post elicited several reactions, with users suggesting that the team was preparing to launch the Glacier airdrop claim portal. Interestingly, the portal has gone live, enabling eligible users to claim their NIGHT tokens. https://twitter.com/Cardanians_io/status/1952709933205512370How to Claim NIGHT Users can claim their tokens in four steps. The first step involves visiting the claim portal and connecting the “origin address.” It is worth noting that the origin address is the same as the one that qualified for the airdrop. Upon connecting this address, users can provide a destination address to receive the free NIGHT allocations. To complete the claim, users must accept the terms and conditions and also sign the transactions. Phases of NIGHT Airdrop The Glacier Airdrop, which is the first phase of the claim, will last 60 days. Once this phase ends, the Scavenger Mine–the second phase–will commence immediately for the next 30 days. During this phase, users are required to complete computational tasks to earn a share of unclaimed tokens. Eligible users who missed the Glacier airdrop and Scavenger Mine will be presented with another opportunity to claim their tokens in a subsequent phase dubbed Lost-and-Found. Any unclaimed tokens after this event will be allocated to the Midnight treasury. ADA Holders Remain Biggest Gainers Although the Glacier Airdrop supports addresses from major blockchains, Cardano users will receive the lion's share. As previously reported , 50% of NIGHT’s token supply, equivalent to 12 billion tokens, is reserved for ADA holders. 20% of the supply, translating to 4.8 billion tokens, will be allocated to eligible users on the Bitcoin network. The remaining 30% supply, or 7.2 billion NIGHT, will be split among Avalanche, XRPL, Solana, Basic Attention Token, BNB, and Ethereum users, with each network receiving 1.2 billion tokens. Accordingt to sources , Over 33 million addresses are eligible:ADA: 1,072,307BTC: 17,562,278XRP: 2,213,942ETH: 7,862,092SOL: 3,465,122BNB: 1,213,677AVAX: 227,793BAT: 24,605Users’ individual holdings of eligible tokens at the time of the snapshot will determine the amount of tokens they will receive.
