Released earlier this summer, Midnight Tocononomic Paper laid out the economic framework and vision of Midnight, a fourth-generation blockchain that redefines chain privacy. $Night introduced Glacier Drop, a fundamentally fair polyphase token distribution model designed to promote network governance and ownership tokens, and comprehensive access.
This vision will enter the next phase today with the launch of the Glacier Drop billing phase, marking the start of $Night distribution to eligible users across eight major blockchain ecosystems.
Wallets eligible to charge $Night during this phase were recorded in a snapshot taken on June 11, 2025. You have at least $100 worth of native tokens worth at least one of the supported blockchains. The billing stage remains open for 60 days and provides a wide window for participation.
Glacier Drops are managed by Midnight TGE, the entity responsible for rolling out $night tokens in line with delegation of decentralization of the network. The launch is an accessibility, fair and major community-owned milestone to midnight ecosystems from day one.
“The initiation of the claims phase reflects our belief that blockchain infrastructure should be open, fair and inclusive,” says Fami Said, president of the Midnight Foundation, dedicated to developing, adopting and advances in real-world impact of the Midnight Network.
“This airdrop is a rethinking of how value and access can be distributed to chains, communities and use cases, and is designed to resist operations and promote long-term engagement. It is also a key step in bringing reasonable privacy to Web3.
Billing process and redemption period
Participants can request assignments as follows:
Access Midnight.gd to connect eligible wallets following a secure, non-obligatory billing process
They claim that once the mainnet is released, the token will enter the redemption period. This is a structured mechanism that unlocks $night with four random “thawing” events over 360 days, aimed at preventing supply shocks and rewarding committed participants.
What’s coming next
Following the billing stage, two additional stages of glacial drop expand access.
Scavenger Mine (30 days): Opens the door to unqualified people at the billing stage by allowing participants to complete on-chain calculation work for unclaimed tokens. Lost (4 years): After the release of the mainnet, enable late billing from the original eligible wallet.
Each phase is designed to enhance reasonable privacy, decentralization, and real-world utilities. These are the core doctrines of the midnight network.
“The drop of a glacier is broadcasting that midnight is privacy. It’s a principle evolution,” Syed added. “With this launch, we are challenging the outdated models, building something that is not only technically innovative, but also more equitable.”
Around midnight tge
Midnight TGE is a token generation entity responsible for initial distribution of $Night to network participants. Established to support the launch and decentralization of the Midnight Ecosystem, the entity ensures that tokens are allocated according to the project’s token schedule and distribution schedule.

Midnight Foundation
The Midnight Foundation is an organization dedicated to developing, adopting, and driving real-world impact on Midnight Network, a privacy-enhancing blockchain project developed in conjunction with Shielded Technologies. Designed for smart contracts that enable privacy, Midnight encourages developers to consider the power to build compliant applications with selective disclosure. It offers a powerful combination of rational privacy, security and decentralization, leveraging $$night as a utility token and $night as a utility resource.
