The Midnight privacy-focused sidechain announced a first token distribution phase for its NIGHT token on August 1st, requiring users to hold at least $100 worth of crypto across eight blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Cardano, Avalanche, XRP Ledger, or Brave). However, a technical difficulty surfaced impacting Bitcoin claims from Ledger devices shortly after the launch. The Midnight team acknowledged the issue and promised an update when resolved. 🤯
The complexity problem led to some Bitcoin accounts receiving error messages indicating “no eligible addresses were found” or “not all eligible addresses are recognized.” Fortunately, the Midnight team announced a successful resolution on August 22nd, 2025.
The issue is now solved! Users can now make claims for all eligible Bitcoin addresses managed by the same Ledger device. Previously, when trying to claim for multiple addresses related to a single Ledger wallet, the process would only recognize the first used address and not acknowledge others. Now, claims are possible for all connected addresses.
**For those with multiple Bitcoin addresses managed through a single Ledger device, individual claims must be made for each address.**
In other Cardano news, Input Output, Cardano’s developer team, is rethinking smart contract security for the Cardano ecosystem. The team recently unveiled tools designed to provide a more comprehensive and holistic lifecycle for Cardano development, which will roll out progressively throughout 2025. These tools will initially focus on formal verification with Plinth, expanding to support other Cardano smart contract languages (Aiken) and eventually others.
The release of each tool will be accompanied by detailed documentation and examples that aim to make advanced security techniques accessible to the entire Cardano developer community.
