Cardano Midnight Glacier Airdrop: Launch Imminent Next Week – Here’s What You Need to Know

The Cardano ecosystem is gearing up for its highly anticipated Midnight Glacier airdrop, set to kick off next week. This strategic distribution aims to bolster network participation and reward long-term ADA holders.

Why it matters: Airdrops have become a proven catalyst for ecosystem growth—when they’re not just thinly veiled marketing ploys by teams desperate to inflate token metrics.

Key details remain scarce, but insiders suggest the drop could coincide with Cardano’s next protocol upgrade. Will this move help ADA break its recent consolidation pattern? Watch the wallets.

As per the prior report, the claiming period will be open for 60 days from the launch date, so the users have plenty of time to claim their tokens.

After the claim period ends, there will be a 30-day “Scavenger Mine” period. Here, users who missed the claim can still mine remaining tokens by performing easy computer tasks. 

In addition, Midnight has launched a four-year “Lost-and-Found” window. That is, users who fail to claim their tokens within the official rounds are able to reclaim some of them up to four years from the date of the airdrop.

Moreover, the  NIGHT tokens will not be given out all at once. Instead, they will be released in four random drops spread over a full year. This slow release, called the “Glacier Drop,” helps keep the token’s price stable and prevents sudden drops caused by many people selling at once.

This process also guards against fake claims and bots. It also aims to solve issues that have affected most airdrops in the past. Those who hold the NIGHT token will be able to vote on how the Midnight Network is run.
