3 days out. Here's how your NIGHT allocation thaws: ➡️ Randomized start date: Every Destination address is assigned a random first day between December 10, 2025, and early March 2026 (the first 90-day window). ➡️ Quarterly unlocks: After the specific start date is assigned, the remaining three installments unlock every 90 days. ➡️ Thawing countdown: There will be a countdown in the Redemption portal showing how many days you have left until your next claim The portal will open shortly so you can preview your allocation and schedule.

FIVE DAYS 🔥 Mark your calendar and set reminders to ensure you are ready to manage your NIGHT allocation. If you claimed during Glacier Drop or Scavenger Mine, this is your heads-up: you must redeem to receive your NIGHT. The Redemption portal will launch shortly beforehand to allow anyone to preview their allocations and thawing schedules ahead of time. Learn more about what to expect: midnight.gd/news/guide-to-th…

Milestone moment: NIGHT is now live. 🕛 With today’s launch of NIGHT as a Cardano Native Asset (CNA), we’re officially kicking off the countdown to redemptions for the more than 4.5B tokens claimed during the Glacier Drop and Scavenger Mine phases. This marks the first step in bringing NIGHT to the community as we continue progressing toward a fully decentralized Midnight mainnet. Redemption windows will open in phases (“thaws”). The redemption portal will launch shortly beforehand to allow people to preview their allocations and thawing schedules ahead of time. ➡️ Learn what this means, how redemptions work, and what to expect next: midnight.network/blog/guide-…

owning NIGHT will be like owning a solar panel NIGHT generates gas tokens ("dust") periodically, giving you permanent access to a private world computer Nobody can take it away from you. Nobody can know what you computed. Nobody even knows you're the one who paid the fee for it

Hi there,  Trezor does not yet support the message signing required by the claim portal. We are working on a solution and aim to have it ready within the 60‑day claim window. We’ll keep you posted.
