What is Midnight?

Midnight is a next-generation privacy-first blockchain designed for compliant, decentralised applications that protect sensitive data using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs)—so developers can choose what to share and what to shield.

Built as a partner chain to Cardano, it benefits from Cardano’s security while offering advanced features like programmable privacy, selective data disclosure, and a developer-friendly TypeScript-based infrastructure.

MIDNIGHT TOKEN DISTRIBUTION Glacier Drop claim is now Live. Glacier Drop, the first claim phase of the NIGHT token distribution, is now open to eligible participants.

Official Midnight Blockchain information is available here.

How can I claim Midnight tokens with BC Vault crypto wallet?

Glacier drop will divide NIGHT tokens to eligible users (you had to have more than $100 in the wallet at the point of the data snapshot) of the following crypto currencies:

• Cardano (ADA)
• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Solana (SOL)
• Ripple (XRP)
• Binance (BNB)
• Avalanche (AVAX)
• Basic Attention Token (BAT) on ETH

According to the official airdrop information you have to claim your NIGHT tokens latest by 4th Oct 2025! This is done by signing message with your eligible crypto wallet on their claim portal.

You can sign the message directly inside the BC Vault Desktop Application from v3.1.0 for all the above mentioned currencies except Ripple - XRP (XRP claims are supported only via one software wallet according to their official information, there is no standard message sign action on XRP).

Claim Midnight tokens with BC Vault Desktop Application

1. Create a NEW Cardano wallet in the BC Vault Application (this wallet will get the NIGHT tokens once they are dropped - this will not happen now). This is a requirement by Midnight Airdrop (it has to be new, empty ADA wallet) and you can use same empty wallet for all the claims.
2. Go to Glacier Drop Claim Portal - https://claim.midnight.gd.
3. Choose your Network (e.g. Ethereum/Cardano/Bitcoin...), then select "I want to enter an address manually" and then Copy/Paste the wallet address you want to claim for to the portal and click on "CHECK ELIGIBILITY". If your address is eligible you will see a green "Your Origin address is eligible a NIGHT allocation" notification and will be able to continue the process. Click on Next:
   
4. Now you will be on the "Choose a Destination address" part, where you have to select where the NIGHT tokens will be dropped to once the drop phase will commence. Select "I want to enter an address manually", click Continue and copy/paste in the address of the new Cardano wallet you created in step 1. Click on "CHECK IF UNUSED". 
5. If everything is OK with the destination Cardano wallet you will see a green "Your Destination address is unused" notification and will be able to continue the process. Click on Next:
   
6. Accept terms and conditions and you will come to the final step on the portal "Sign and complete claim". You will need the displayed "Unique claim message" which you will now sign with your BC Vault wallet. Leave the page open and copy the message:
7. In the BC Vault Desktop Application you will now use wallet "Sign Message" function to sign the copied message.
8. Copy the message into the Sign Message dialogue and follow the prompts to sign the message with the device. Make sure you select the right address type (for Cardano you have to sign it with staking address for example):
   
9. After successfully confirming message signing on the device you will get back the signed message - signature (in case of Cardano you will get signature and public key):
   
10. Go back to the Midnight claim portal and copy/paste the signature (and public key in case of Cardano) into required fields and click the "SIGN" button (scroll down if button is not visible):
    
11. If everything was done correctly you will see a green "Your claim has been successfully signed" notification and you can click on the "COMPLETE CLAIM" button.
