About Midnight's airdrop


Introducing … one of crypto’s biggest-ever airdrops, courtesy of Midnight Network: a new privacy-focused blockchain by Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson.


Midnight’s mainnet launch is coming soon and, to celebrate, 37 million wallets are eligible to receive NIGHT – the Midnight Network’s utility token – as part of the Midnight airdrop.


See here, here and here for some social proof and learn more about it here:




Eligibility

To qualify, you needed $100 or more of BTC, ADA, SOL, XRP, ETH, AVAX, BNB or BAT in a non-custodial wallet on June 11th 2025, which is when the secret snapshot was taken.


Crypto held in a custodial wallet (like on a centralized exchange) isn’t eligible. Crypto held in a hardware wallet *is* eligible, and NuFi wallet supports the check/claim process for 6 devices.


Schedule

The first claim phase, called “Glacier Drop”, is happening right now. It started August 5th 2025 and runs until October 4th 2025.


Eligible accounts should claim their NIGHT token allocation during this period; there are subsequent claim phases (for latecomers) but the allocations are smaller.


Redemption Period

Your NIGHT tokens will ‘thaw’ and become available over time during the Redemption Period. More information about this will be provided soon; follow NuFi on X for updates.

About NuFi's Midnight Airdrop wizard


The Midnight Airdrop Wizard is inside NuFi's (non-custodial) wallet. It's the quickest, easiest way to check your Midnight airdrop eligibility and claim NIGHT tokens.


The Airdrop wizard automatically checks all your accounts’ eligibility for all chains at once, shows all your NIGHT token allocations in one place, then lets you complete the claim process with a couple of clicks.


Bitcoin, Cardano, Solana, Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB, BAT and XRP* holders can safely restore accounts from other wallets into NuFi to check eligibility and claim NIGHT tokens; do this using a seed/recovery phrase or by pairing a hardware wallet. How-to guides below.


Important: *for XRP, only Ledger hardware wallet accounts are supported.



The entire check and claim process can be completed quickly in NuFi's interface:

For hardware wallet users


You can use NuFi wallet’s Midnight Airdrop Wizard to check airdrop eligibility and claim NIGHT for accounts in Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, BitBox02, GridPlus and OneKey hardware wallets.


Bitcoin, Cardano, Solana, XRP*, Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB and BAT accounts are supported by the Airdrop wizard, so checking/claiming can be done for these accounts in hardware wallets. For XRP, only Ledger HW accounts are supported.


Important: the claiming process isn’t supported by some devices on some blockchains; see details.



How to restore hardware wallet accounts



Before continuing, please ensure that your device’s firmware and apps are up to date, and that you’ve closed any applications that communicate with your device (such as Ledger Live or Trezor Suite).

How to check eligibility and claim NIGHT tokens


When you’ve restored your accounts into NuFi wallet, you can use the Airdrop wizard.


It checks all your accounts' eligibility for all chains at once and, if you're eligible to receive NIGHT tokens, lets you complete the claim process inside NuFi's interface.



It takes just seconds to check and claim:


 



  1. To check your eligibility, click ‘Airdrop’ on the left; you’ll see which of your accounts are eligible and their NIGHT allocations.

    If you don't have any eligible accounts, you'll see the message below. Try adding more accounts to your wallet.
    If you do have eligible accounts, you'll see a popup showing which accounts are eligible, what your NIGHT allocation is, and a button to claim your NIGHT tokens.



    For Ledger XRP users

    To check your XRP accounts' airdrop eligibility, first plug in your Ledger device and open the XRP app.

    Click 'Airdrop' on the left; Ripple is at the bottom.
    Click 'Check' for Ripple and, on the device itself, allow your public keys to be exported.

    The Airdrop wizard will show your eligible XRP accounts and their NIGHT allocations. 

    If none of your Ledger wallet's XRP accounts are eligible, you'll see 'No eligible XRP accounts found'.


  1. To claim NIGHT tokens, click Claim for each eligible account and then select a Cardano account to receive your NIGHT tokens.



    Choose from Cardano accounts in your NuFi wallet or enter an external Cardano account address.

    If you don’t have a Cardano account, click ‘Add account’ and create one, then use this as the destination account for your NIGHT tokens. NIGHT is a Cardano token, which is why a Cardano account is needed to receive it.

    Important: if you select a Cardano account in your NuFi wallet as the destination, NuFi automatically uses the account's first unused address, as per Midnight's requirements. If you select ‘External address’, be sure to manually enter an unused Cardano address.


  2. Click Continue and sign the message to prove that you own the wallet you’re claiming with. Hardware wallet users will need to approve this on the device’s screen.


  1. If your claim was successful, you’ll see onscreen confirmation and the account’s status will change to ‘Claimed’ in the Airdrop wizard. Repeat for each eligible account before October 4th 2025.

    If your claim fails, try again, and open a support ticket on Discord     if you need help.


Information for hardware wallet users


The Midnight airdrop’s claim process requires you to sign a message to prove wallet ownership. Unfortunately, message signing isn’t supported by some devices for some blockchains, so some hardware wallet users will not be able to claim NIGHT tokens at this time.


For reference:

  • Cardano: claim using Ledger, Keystone and OneKey hardware wallets. Support for Trezor devices coming soon.

  • Bitcoin: claim using Ledger and Keystone hardware wallets.

  • Solana: claim using Keystone and OneKey hardware wallets.

  • Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain and Basic Attention Token (BAT): claim using Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, OneKey, GridPlus and BitBox02 hardware wallets.

  • XRP: claim using Ledger hardware wallet.
