Cardano’s Midnight Sidechain Drops Tokens for ADA, XRP, and BTC Holders – Don’t Miss Out!

Cardano's privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, kicks off its token distribution to major crypto holders—just as the market starts buzzing again.

Who gets what?

ADA loyalists, XRP warriors, and Bitcoin maximalists all get a slice of Midnight's new token pie. No complicated staking, no lock-ups—just straight-up distribution to wallets holding these assets. Timing? Impeccable, as always—just when the SEC starts another round of 'how do we regulate this?' theater.

Why it matters

Midnight's blend of zero-knowledge proofs and Cardano's security could finally make private, scalable transactions mainstream. Or it’ll be another 'revolutionary' project that VCs dump at the first sign of green candles. Either way, free tokens.

Finance jab: Wall Street still can’t decide if crypto is a scam or the future—so they’ll short it while buying the dip.

Tokens remain locked

Claimed NIGHT does not unlock immediately. Once the mainnet is live, tokens will enter a Redemption Period that releases holdings in four random “thaw” events over 360 days, a structure designed to smooth supply and reward longer-term participation. 

Midnight TGE, the entity responsible for the initial NIGHT distribution in line with the network’s decentralization plan, will administer the rollout. The team reiterated that users should verify they are using the official URL before connecting a wallet. 

Midnight positions itself as a privacy-first network that uses zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure to let users share data when necessary while keeping sensitive information protected. 

The project is being developed as a sidechain within the Cardano ecosystem, providing interoperability while targeting data-protection use cases.
