Before you start
- Use a Cardano wallet you control. The destination address must be the unused address you set when you claimed.
- Keep a small ADA balance for the network fee. Do not send your seed phrase to anyone.
Open the official NIGHT page and see which phase applies to you
Done when: You know whether you are redeeming an old claim or reading about Lost-and-Found.

Check the existing allocation before any redemption
The redeem screen could not be reverified on November 12 (403/429). Follow the official redemption guide to midnight.gd. If accessible, enter your original destination address and inspect the amount and schedule first. Only proceed after checking the destination and ADA fee in the wallet prompt.
Done when: For a lookup: allocation and address-specific schedule displayed. For a redemption: confirmed transaction ID and NIGHT received at the original destination. Neither was tested in this review.

Checked November 12, 2026: the NIGHT page now labels thawing as 450 days, while the December 2025 redemption guide still says 360 days ending December 4, 2026, followed by 90 days of grace. These descriptions do not agree. The redeem page returned HTTP 403 to our web reader and HTTP 429 to a direct fetch. That does not prove the portal is closed, but its current screen, wallet prompts and address-specific deadline were not verified. Do not treat December 4 as a freshly confirmed portal closing date.

Recorded outcomes
- Glacier Drop participation is recorded as closed on the current NIGHT page.
More than 3.5 billion NIGHT was claimed from more than 170,000 addresses. The opening post had named October 4, 2025 at 13:00 UTC as the close.
Sources: night-token-page, glacier-open - Scavenger Mine is closed on the current NIGHT page.
About 1 billion NIGHT was claimed from more than 8 million addresses.

Corrections
- The earlier holding record left the reward status unknown because it used a directory label.
Before: Status unclear, with no official claim portal, dates, or eligibility.
After: Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine are closed. NIGHT redemption is open for people who already claimed. Thaw 4 runs through December 4, 2026.

Context Project, team, campaigns and FAQ
What it is
- What it does
- Midnight is a privacy network, and NIGHT is its token. Holding NIGHT is how the network generates DUST, the resource that pays for transactions, and DUST is not a token you send to someone else. NIGHT was first issued on Cardano. The Midnight mainnet genesis block was created on March 17, 2026 at 3:17 a.m. UTC, and the published supply is 24 billion NIGHT. The distribution has three claim phases and a redemption period. Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine are closed, so checking an existing allocation is the relevant next step for prior claimants. Current portal availability was not verified on November 12, 2026.
- Who uses or pays
- The distribution was aimed at holders on eight existing networks and, in Scavenger Mine, at anyone who completed the computing task.
- What is live
- Mainnet genesis was recorded as March 17, 2026 at 3:17 a.m. UTC in the October review. On November 12, official distribution documentation remained available, but the redeem screen could not be reverified.
- Where value flows
- NIGHT generates DUST, which pays for Midnight transactions. The airdrop delivers NIGHT. It does not pay a separate cash reward.
- Who controls it
- Midnight says the Midnight Foundation stewards the network and the Midnight TGE runs the token distribution.
- Why users return
- The network is live. Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine do not reopen because the network is live.

Historical schedule recorded October 15: Redemption is the current step for people who already claimed. Allocations thaw in four equal 25 percent shares. The redeem page lists Thaw 1 as December 10, 2025 to March 9, 2026, Thaw 2 as March 10 to June 7, 2026, Thaw 3 as June 8 to September 5, 2026, and Thaw 4 as September 6 to December 4, 2026. Each address also has a random first day. Thawing ends on December 4, 2026, then a 90-day grace period keeps the portal up. Midnight did not publish the grace period as a calendar end date. Redemptions were paused and then resumed at 17:00 UTC on July 9, 2026 after a SecondFi wallet incident. The Foundation said the thaw schedule did not change. Checked November 12, 2026: the NIGHT page now labels thawing as 450 days, while the December 2025 redemption guide still says 360 days ending December 4, 2026, followed by 90 days of grace. These descriptions do not agree. The redeem page returned HTTP 403 to our web reader and HTTP 429 to a direct fetch. That does not prove the portal is closed, but its current screen, wallet prompts and address-specific deadline were not verified. Do not treat December 4 as a freshly confirmed portal closing date.

Glacier Drop is closed. The opening post said the claim ran from August 5, 2025 at 13:00 UTC until October 4, 2025 at 13:00 UTC. The current NIGHT page records August 5 through October 20, 2025.

March 17, 2026 to end unknown · NIGHT
The NIGHT page describes a five-year phase for eligible holders who missed Glacier Drop. The earlier four-year description remains unresolved. No usable claim form, current fees or restrictions were verified on November 12. Wait for official instructions.
Rewards
The reward is NIGHT, and Midnight has already said who could claim it. Glacier Drop used the June 11, 2025 snapshot, while Scavenger Mine paid people who completed the computing task during its window. Both of those claim windows are closed.
The historical redemption guide describes delivery. Claimed NIGHT starts frozen and thaws in four 25 percent parts over 360 days, so you can redeem each part or wait and redeem the whole amount. The redeem page is the official screen for that step. A Cardano transaction moves thawed tokens to the destination address you set, and you cannot change that address after the claim.
Lost-and-Found is a separate later claim for eligible people who missed Glacier Drop. The NIGHT page describes about 252 million NIGHT for this phase, but the pages checked here do not give a second website just for that phase.
NIGHT is not a points balance. Midnight says its supply is 24 billion, and this page does not estimate a token price or what your allocation is worth.
Checked November 12, 2026: the NIGHT page now labels thawing as 450 days, while the December 2025 redemption guide still says 360 days ending December 4, 2026, followed by 90 days of grace. These descriptions do not agree. The redeem page returned HTTP 403 to our web reader and HTTP 429 to a direct fetch. That does not prove the portal is closed, but its current screen, wallet prompts and address-specific deadline were not verified. Do not treat December 4 as a freshly confirmed portal closing date.
Cost to play
Placing the original claim was a signed message. Midnight says that signature stayed off chain and did not need a network fee, but redemption is different. Each redemption is a Cardano transaction, so you pay the network fee, and no dollar amount was published. You do not deposit or buy NIGHT to redeem.
Use a destination address from a wallet you control. Midnight says an exchange or custodian address can leave you unable to redeem, and the address also had to be unused when you claimed.
On July 9, 2026, Midnight resumed redemptions at 17:00 UTC after a pause linked to a security incident at SecondFi. The Foundation said the redemption system itself was not at risk and the thaw dates did not move. If you used a SecondFi wallet, follow SecondFi's own security steps before you redeem.
The largest current risk is a copied portal. The redeem host is midnight.gd, and the project site is midnight.network. A message, ad, or forum post that asks for a seed phrase, or that names a contract you cannot find on those sites, is not part of this guide.
November 12 check: the official redemption guide still requires ADA for Cardano transaction fees. No current fee quote was obtained. Lost-and-Found costs and current restrictions remain unverified; do not assume the original off-chain claim rules apply.
Edge
- Already claimed? Check your allocation first. The historical schedule is disputed by current documentation; portal access was not verified on November 12.
- If you missed Glacier Drop, read Lost-and-Found on midnight.network/night. Do not treat a forum contract as the official path.
About Midnight Network
Midnight is a privacy network, and NIGHT is its token. Holding NIGHT is how the network generates DUST, the resource that pays for transactions, and DUST is not a token you send to someone else.
NIGHT was first issued on Cardano. The Midnight mainnet genesis block was created on March 17, 2026 at 3:17 a.m. UTC, and the published supply is 24 billion NIGHT.
The distribution has three claim phases and a redemption period. Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine are closed, so checking an existing allocation is the relevant next step for prior claimants. Current portal availability was not verified on November 12, 2026.
Score notes
- The token, the claim phases, and the thaw schedule are published by Midnight.
- The score does not rise into a stronger tier because new Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine claims are closed, and Lost-and-Found does not yet have a verified separate claim screen.
Historical score 58 retained. Current action confidence is reduced: the official thaw durations disagree and the redeem screen could not be rechecked. This is not a verified open claim recommendation.
Questions
Is the Midnight airdrop still open?
Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine are closed. Existing claimants should check their allocation through the official midnight.gd route. We could not verify its live screen on November 12, 2026. Lost-and-Found is described on the NIGHT page, but a usable claim path was not verified.
What is the official NIGHT claim portal?
Midnight named claim.midnight.gd as the claim portal during Glacier Drop. The redemption guide sends holders to midnight.gd. The redeem page is https://www.midnight.gd/redeem. Check that host in the address bar before you connect a wallet.
Who was eligible for Glacier Drop?
Self-custody addresses that held at least $100 of ADA, BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, AVAX, or BAT on Ethereum at the June 11, 2025 snapshot. Wrapped, staked, and pooled balances did not count. Sanctioned addresses were excluded. You also needed an unused Cardano address as the destination.
What was Scavenger Mine?
It was the second phase. The current NIGHT page dates it from October 30 through November 19, 2025. It was open to anyone who could solve a computing task on an ordinary computer. That window is closed. Midnight says about 1 billion NIGHT was claimed.
When can I redeem NIGHT?
Checked November 12, 2026: the NIGHT page now labels thawing as 450 days, while the December 2025 redemption guide still says 360 days ending December 4, 2026, followed by 90 days of grace. These descriptions do not agree. The redeem page returned HTTP 403 to our web reader and HTTP 429 to a direct fetch. That does not prove the portal is closed, but its current screen, wallet prompts and address-specific deadline were not verified. Do not treat December 4 as a freshly confirmed portal closing date.
Can I still claim if I missed Glacier Drop?
The NIGHT page limits this phase to eligible self-custody holders who missed Glacier Drop and describes a five-year window from genesis. The older four-year description remains in our evidence history. A working claim form, current fees, KYC and geographic restrictions were not verified on November 12. Wait for instructions linked by Midnight.
Does redemption cost money?
Midnight says placing the original claim was an off-chain signature and did not need a network fee. Redeeming thawed NIGHT needs a Cardano transaction, so you pay the Cardano network fee. Midnight did not publish a dollar amount. Do not send NIGHT or ADA to a person who offers to redeem for you.
