Here's How XRP Holders Can Qualify As Cardano Midnight Glacier Airdrop Goes Live

The long-anticipated Glacier airdrop by the Midnight Foundation is now live, ushering in a significant moment for XRP holders looking to bridge into the Cardano ecosystem. In a recent update shared by Wietse Wind, the founder of Xaman Wallet and a leading figure in the XRP developer community, clear guidelines have been outlined for how users can safely and successfully claim their airdrop.

Xaman Wallet Is the Only Safe Way to Participate

To participate in the airdrop, users must log in using Xaman Wallet, the only wallet officially recognized by the Glacier project. WietseWind made it clear: “Only sign in with Xaman is safe.” Any claim process that involves a different wallet or service is almost certainly fraudulent.

Moreover, the airdrop claim process is restricted to desktop browsers. Mobile support is not available, so participants must use a desktop device and manually visit the official claim site:

Glacier Tokens Will Be Sent to Cardano Wallets

While eligibility is based on XRP Ledger holdings, the tokens themselves will not be distributed on the XRP Ledger. Instead, they will be sent to fresh Cardano (ADA) wallets, meaning wallets that have not been used in previous claims or transactions. The Midnight Foundation will not distribute Glacier tokens to XRP addresses.

Each user is allowed only one claim, and you must ensure that your Cardano wallet is new and ready to receive assets. This setup reinforces the project’s emphasis on identity uniqueness and prevents multiple claims by the same participant.

There are 58 days remaining in the claim window, giving participants ample time to prepare and complete the process without rushing.

Beware of Scams and Fake Support Channels

WietseWind issued a strong warning about the rise in scams surrounding the airdrop. Numerous malicious actors are posing as Xaman support staff, Midnight Foundation team members, or even WietseWind himself. Their goal is to trick users into providing wallet credentials or signing into fake portals.

Users should avoid trusting any unsolicited messages, fake social accounts, or suspicious websites. For any support-related questions, the only secure channel is the in-app support feature inside the Xaman Wallet.

In the coming days, a push notification and an in-app message will be sent to all Xaman Wallet users to notify them about the airdrop and provide step-by-step guidance.

A Cross-Chain Milestone for XRP and Cardano Communities

The Glacier airdrop represents a major bridge between the XRP and Cardano ecosystems. By tying eligibility to XRP Ledger holdings but distributing the reward on Cardano, the initiative promotes interoperability and cross-chain participation in the evolving Web3 landscape.

With support from trusted community figures like WietseWind, XRP holders have a reliable path to claiming their Glacier tokens safely and confidently. As always, diligence and caution are critical. By following official instructions and staying alert to scams, users can fully benefit from this exciting opportunity in the crypto space.
