Earn NIGHT by staking with Hodler
Hodler operates the Midnight [HODLR] pool to help advance Cardano’s privacy layer through ongoing validation and testnet work. Delegators play a direct role in that effort, and Nightshare rewards that participation through an ongoing distribution of 10,000 NIGHT tokens.


Why Nightshare exists
A community reward shaped by participation in Cardano’s evolving privacy layer.
Broaden participation
Nightshare encourages more delegators to take part in supporting Midnight, helping expand early network activity and coverage.
Reward contribution
Delegators who support the network during active test phases are recognized for contributing to real usage and stability.
Strengthen alignment
Rewards are designed to favor continued participation, aligning incentives with long-term network growth and stability.
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, translating network participation into real community rewards.
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
Snapshots
Snapshots are taken each epoch throughout the Nightshare period. These snapshots track delegated ADA and loyalty over time, allowing rewards to accumulate based on continued participation.
STEP
03
Distribution period
After the Nightshare period ends, rewards are calculated based on accumulated participation across all snapshots. NIGHT will be available to eligible wallets during the distribution window via DripDropz.
STEP
04
Final redistribution
Any unclaimed NIGHT will be redistributed proportionally to participating wallets based on their final reward share.
STEP
05
Preparing for mainnet
After distribution is complete, Hodler’s Midnight [HODLR] pool will transition toward mainnet operations, continuing to support Cardano’s privacy layer and future ecosystem growth.
