Earn NIGHT by staking with Hodler

Hodler operates the Midnight [HODLR] pool to validate and advance Cardano’s privacy layer, contributing to network research and testnet stability. Through our independent Nightshare drop, we’re distributing 10,000 NIGHT tokens to delegators who help test, strengthen, and grow the Midnight ecosystem.

Why Nightshare exists

A community airdrop rewarding delegators and supporting the growth of Cardano’s privacy layer.

Broaden participation

Extends NIGHT distribution beyond the Glacier Drop, giving more delegators a way to join and support the Midnight network.

Reward contribution

Recognizes delegators who helped test and stabilize the network during the Midnight testnet phase.

Strengthen alignment

Builds deeper alignment between Hodler, Midnight, and the shared goals of privacy and open participation.

How the Nightshare drop works

The Nightshare drop turns validator participation into shared value. Each phase connects Hodler’s validator work to Midnight’s broader mission and turns network participation into real community reward.

STEP
01

Testnet validation

We deployed the Midnight [HODLR] pool to support network testing and data-privacy research on Cardano. This validator work is the foundation of the Nightshare drop.

STEP
02

Snapshot

After the Glacier Drop redemption period opens, Hodler will capture a snapshot of all delegators and their relative stake. This record defines eligibility and each wallet’s share of 10,000 NIGHT tokens.

STEP
03

Distribution period

Once the snapshot is complete, Nightshare rewards will be distributed over several epochs through supported Cardano services. Delegators can claim at any time during the distribution window.

STEP
04

Final redistribution

When the distribution period ends, any remaining NIGHT may be randomly rewarded among active delegators or rolled into a scavenger-style event. This ensures every token finds its way back to the community.

STEP
05

Preparing for mainnet

After testnet rewards are complete, Hodler’s Midnight [HODLR] pool will transition toward mainnet operations, continuing to strengthen Cardano’s privacy layer and support future ecosystem initiatives.
