Charles Hoskinson Launches ‘Glacier Drop’: 37 Million Wallets to Receive Tokens

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson unveiled a significant initiative at Consensus 2025: the Glacier Drop, a massive airdrop designed for Cardano’s upcoming privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight. This airdrop will distribute tokens—NIGHT and DUST—to over 37 million wallets across eight major blockchain ecosystems including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), XRP, Solana (SOL), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polygon (POL). The initiative breaks from the norm of venture capitalists receiving allocations.
