查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）宣布“冰川滴”空調，用於午夜隱私，向3700萬用戶分發夜晚和灰塵代幣

卡爾達諾（Cardano）的創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）宣布，針對多個區塊鏈平台的用戶進行了廣泛的代幣發行活動。

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, announced a broad token distribution event to users across several blockchain platforms. The initiative, called "Glacier Drop," is part of the launch for Midnight, a privacy-focused sidechain being developed by the Cardano ecosystem.

卡爾達諾（Cardano）的創始人查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）向多個區塊鏈平台的用戶宣布了一個廣泛的代幣分銷活動。該計劃稱為“冰川滴”，是午夜發布的一部分，這是Cardano生態系統開發的以隱私為中心的Sidechain。

The airdrop will reach over 37 million user addresses across eight blockchain networks, including the XRP Ledger, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. This large-scale distribution will introduce two native Midnight tokens: NIGHT, for governance, and DUST, designed for private transactions.

八個區塊鍊網絡的Airdrop將超過3700萬個用戶地址，包括XRP分類帳，比特幣，以太坊和Cardano。這種大規模的分佈將引入兩個本地的午夜令牌：夜間，用於治理和塵埃，專為私人交易而設計。

Hoskinson presented details of the Glacier Drop at the Consensus 2025 conference in Toronto, highlighting the move as a major step toward less division within the cryptocurrency industry.

霍斯金森（Hoskinson）在多倫多舉行的2025年共識會議上介紹了冰川下降的細節，這強調了這一舉動是朝著加密貨幣行業邁出的重大分歧的重大一步。

“We are launching two tokens: NIGHT, which is the governance token, and DUST, which is the token that people will use to transact privately,” Hoskinson said.

霍斯金森說：“我們正在推出兩個令牌：夜晚，即治理令牌和灰塵，這是人們將使用私下進行交易的令牌。”

He added that the airdrop will span eight major blockchains, aiming to include a vast majority of cryptocurrency users. The networks are Cardano, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, XRP Ledger, and the Basic Attention Token ecosystem.

他補充說，空調將跨越八個主要區塊鏈，旨在包括絕大多數加密貨幣使用者。網絡是Cardano，以太坊，Solana，Avalanche，Bitcoin，BNB鏈，XRP Ledger和基本關注的標誌生態系統。

Retail-Only Distribution: No Allocation to VCs or Insiders

僅零售分銷：沒有分配給VC或內部人士

In a departure from typical token launches, Hoskinson stated that Midnight’s airdrop will not have any allocations for venture capital firms or early investors. The tokens will go exclusively to retail users on the participating networks.

霍斯金森（Hoskinson）偏離了典型的代幣發布會，表示午夜的Airdrop將對風險投資公司或早期投資者提供任何分配。令牌將專門用於參與網絡上的零售用戶。

According to Hoskinson, avoiding institutional pre-sales is a way to challenge what he calls “VC Ponzi” models of pre-allocating tokens. The airdropped tokens will be immediately available to recipients, who can choose to sell, hold, or discard them without restrictions.

霍斯金森認為，避免機構預售是一種挑戰他所謂的“ VC龐氏騙子”模型的預付給代幣模型。可以選擇無限制出售，持有或丟棄它們的接收者，將立即提供空調的令牌。

Expanding Across Eight Major Blockchains

跨八個主要區塊鏈擴展

Glacier Drop will span eight networks: Cardano, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, XRP Ledger, and the Basic Attention Token ecosystem. By including platforms that are usually seen in competition, Hoskinson aims to encourage greater cooperation between crypto communities.

冰川滴將跨越八個網絡：Cardano，以太坊，Solana，Avalanche，Bitcoin，BNB鏈，XRP Ledger和基本關注的標誌生態系統。通過包括通常在競爭中看到的平台，霍斯金森的目標是鼓勵加密社區之間的更多合作。

He said the constant competitive focus on small differences between projects has hampered the industry’s broader growth.

他說，持續的競爭重點是項目之間的小差異，這阻礙了該行業的廣泛增長。

“We’re in this constant state of arguing about 0.01% differences in smart contract programming languages, or arguing about which blockchain can do 6,000 transactions per second versus 10,000 transactions per second.”

“我們處於這種不斷爭論的智能合同編程語言差異約0.01％的狀態，或者爭論哪些區塊鏈可以每秒進行6,000筆交易，而每秒10,000筆交易。”

According to Hoskinson, this competitive attitude has prevented crypto from achieving widespread adoption.

根據霍斯金森的說法，這種競爭性態度阻止了加密貨幣獲得廣泛採用。

“We’re still largely in the same state that we were 10 years ago, with a small group of enthusiasts arguing in online forums while the broader world remains largely indifferent.”

“我們仍然處於十年前的同一狀態，一小部分發燒友在在線論壇上爭論，而更廣闊的世界仍然無動於衷。”

To spur greater collaboration, he announced that one of Midnight’s technical features will allow developers to pay network fees in the native currency of their home blockchain.

為了促進更大的合作，他宣布，午夜的技術功能之一將使開發人員可以以其本地區塊鏈的原始貨幣支付網絡費用。

For instance, a team building an application on Ethereum will pay their fees in ETH, while a team on Solana will pay in SOL. This is designed to lower the barrier to entry for diverse developer teams to contribute to Midnight.

例如，一個在以太坊上建立申請的團隊將在ETH中支付他們的費用，而Solana的團隊將在SOL中付款。這旨在降低各種開發人員團隊為午夜做出貢獻的進入障礙。

The protocol will also support cross-chain validator participation, so infrastructure providers from various blockchains can help to secure the Midnight network and earn rewards, regardless of which platform they primarily support.

該協議還將支持跨鏈驗證者的參與，因此來自各種區塊鏈的基礎架構提供商都可以幫助確保午夜網絡並贏得獎勵，而不管他們主要支持哪個平台。

Currently in testnet, the Midnight mainnet is scheduled for launch by the end of 2025. As development progresses, Hoskinson expressed hope that this project will help broaden access to privacy solutions and bridge ideological divides across the crypto industry.

目前在Testnet中，午夜的Mainnet計劃在2025年底之前推出。隨著開發的進展，霍斯金森（Hoskinson）表示希望該項目將有助於擴大對隱私解決方案的訪問權限，並在加密貨幣行業進行橋樑意識形態分歧。

“This is the project I’m having the most fun with,” he said, citing the project’s potential to unite different communities and expand the reach of decentralized technologies.

他說：“這是我最喜歡的項目。”該項目有可能團結不同社區並擴大了分散技術的影響力。
