NIGHT Token Distribution

The announcement comes a few months after the Glacier Drop’s launch. This airdrop was open to 34 million users across eight blockchains, including Cardano, XRP Ledger, Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin, to claim a share of the NIGHT token. Eligibility was based on users holding $100 worth of their native assets at the time of the snapshot.

While claims opened on August 5, the actual NIGHT token distribution will begin on December 8, just weeks from now. Once distribution starts, trading will go live immediately on multiple exchanges

For context, eligible beneficiaries will only receive a portion of their claimed NIGHT tokens on December 8, 2025. The remainder will be distributed gradually over the next 12 months in four equal 25% tranches, unlocked every 90 days to promote long-term network engagement
