Cardano’s NIGHT Airdrop to Hit 2.2M XRP Wallets — Find Out How Much You Can Get

Cardano’s privacy-focused blockchain Midnight has announced its anticipated NIGHT token airdrop rates for XRP holders. With over 33 million wallets eligible across eight major blockchain ecosystems, the “Glacier Drop” is set to become one of the broadest token distributions.

Midnight Confirms NIGHT Allocation Rates for XRP and Others

In a newly released blog, Midnight revealed how NIGHT tokens will be distributed. Notably, more than 2.2 million eligible addresses contained a combined 62.85 billion XRP at snapshot time. They will receive NIGHT at a conversion rate of 1 XRP for 0.04173 NIGHT.

By comparison, Cardano addresses have the highest allocation, covering over 1 million eligible wallets. Bitcoin holders get 696.97 NIGHT per BTC, while Ethereum addresses see 1 ETH equal to 50.73 NIGHT. Other supported networks include Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Basic Attention Token.

The Glacier Drop’s full distribution reflects Midnight’s cross-chain ambition. Out of the total supply:

• XRP addresses collectively receive around 2.62 billion NIGHT (10.93%).
• Ethereum wallets share roughly 2.3 billion NIGHT (9.61%).
• Solana holders receive about 1.42 billion NIGHT (5.95%).
• BNB Chain gets just under 800 million NIGHT (3.32%).
• The rest is then shared between Avalanche (0.18%) and BAT (0.013%) holders.

Midnight further explained that participants can estimate their NIGHT allocation by checking their balance at the snapshot date and applying these rates. A dedicated eligibility checker will launch on the official Midnight Claim Portal when claiming opens.

Wall Street Interest and Midnight’s Privacy Edge

In a recent interview, Hoskinson shared that “Wall Street loves Midnight”, thanks to its focus on privacy-preserving transactions. Midnight uses zero-knowledge cryptography to enable confidential dApps and transactions, built using its Compact language integrated with TypeScript. 

The inclusion of XRP holders reflects Midnight’s broader strategy of cross-chain cooperation. At Consensus 2025, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed XRP wallets would be key recipients, describing it as part of the “largest airdrop ever” in terms of user reach.

Excitement is already building within the community. Cardano advocate Chris O highlighted that 12 billion NIGHT, half the Glacier Drop’s supply, is set aside for ADA holders, potentially benefiting around one million wallets. He predicted that economic activity on Cardano could soon “go parabolic” as Midnight and other partner chains come online.

#Cardano fam, exciting news about the @MidnightNtwrk glacier airdrop.

For $ADA holders 50% supply, 12 billion $NIGHT has been allocated to approx 1 Million Cardano wallets that meet the eligibility.

The conversion rate is 1 ADA = 0.34 Night.
