How XRP Holders Can Check Eligibility For NIGHT Tokens

XRP holders can now claim $NIGHT tokens through Midnight Network’s Glacier Drop event, a major airdrop distributing tokens across multiple blockchains, including XRP Ledger. If you held XRP during the snapshot taken on June 11, 2025, you may be eligible to receive a share of the $NIGHT tokens.

Eligibility Requirements for XRP Holders

In order to be able to participate in the airdrop offered by the Midnight Network, XRP owners are to fulfill one particular condition. As per the official whitepaper, to access the airdrop, users must have possessed at least $100 worth of XRP as of the snapshot, carried out on June 11. This snapshot captured wallet balances across different eligible networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano and more.

The snapshot will make sure that the real ones will enjoy Glacier Drop event, as it will avoid Sybil attacks and airdrop farming. With this, Midnight Network is trying to reward the active and real users in their respective ecosystems. This measure is designed to provide a fair distribution of tokens to those who have been consistently engaged in the blockchain community.

Midnight Network Glacier Drop Airdrop Phases

The Midnight Network has identified three-step issuance of tokens as part of the distribution of the $NIGHT tokens. The initial stage, the Claim Phase, will take place over 60 days. Throughout this time, the available members are allowed to redeem their $NIGHT allocations. The XRP holders who qualify will receive their share, depending on the quantity of the XRP which they owned as at the moment of the snapshot.

After the claim stage, there will be the 30 days Scavenger Mine phase. The step will give a chance to people who have not been originally qualified to the airdrop. The participants can also execute computational duties to obtain unclaimed tokens of the night, by employing a proof-of-work system. All unwanted tokens during the Claim Phase will be at this phase.

Lastly, the Lost-and-Found phase provides a chance for wallets that missed the claim window to retrieve their allocated tokens. However, this phase will last for a period of four years, and the amount of tokens available may vary depending on the number of unclaimed allocations. The Midnight Network plans to allocate any remaining unclaimed tokens to its treasury after this period.

Understanding the $NIGHT Token Distribution

The $NIGHT token is the primary utility token within the Midnight Network. With a total supply of 24 billion tokens, a significant portion will be distributed through the Glacier Drop.

According to the whitepaper, Cardano holders will receive the largest share, with 12 billion tokens (50%) allocated to them. XRP holders are eligible for 1.2 billion tokens, part of the 7.2 billion allocated to six other blockchains, including XRP, BAT, Ethereum, and others.

XRP holders’ rewards will depend on the amount of XRP they held at the time of the snapshot. For example, those with larger XRP holdings will receive a higher proportion of the $NIGHT tokens. The precise allocation will vary based on individual balances.

Claiming and Locking of $NIGHT Tokens

Eligible XRP holders can begin claiming their $NIGHT tokens starting in July 2025. The process is straightforward, requiring users to sign with their wallets and submit a Cardano address.

There is no fee, and no KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is required to participate in the airdrop.

Once claimed, the $NIGHT tokens will be locked into a Cardano-based smart contract. This contract will prevent immediate sell-offs by releasing tokens gradually over the course of the Redemption Period. The tokens will be “thawed” in four installments over the next year, encouraging long-term network participation and reducing potential volatility in the market.
