查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）宣布“冰川滴”空调，用于午夜隐私，向3700万用户分发夜晚和灰尘代币

卡尔达诺（Cardano）的创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）宣布，针对多个区块链平台的用户进行了广泛的代币发行活动。

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.

卡尔达诺（Cardano）的创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）向多个区块链平台的用户宣布了一个广泛的代币分销活动。该计划称为“冰川滴”，是午夜发布的一部分，这是Cardano生态系统开发的以隐私为中心的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.

八个区块链网络的Airdrop将超过3700万个用户地址，包括XRP分类帐，比特币，以太坊和Cardano。这种大规模的分布将引入两个本地的午夜令牌：夜间，用于治理和尘埃，专为私人交易而设计。

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）在多伦多举行的2025年共识会议上介绍了冰川下降的细节，这强调了这一举动是朝着加密货币行业迈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.

霍斯金森说：“我们正在推出两个令牌：夜晚，即治理令牌和灰尘，这是人们将使用私下进行交易的令牌。”

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.

他补充说，空调将跨越八个主要区块链，旨在包括绝大多数加密货币使用者。网络是Cardano，以太坊，Solana，Avalanche，Bitcoin，BNB链，XRP Ledger和基本关注的标志生态系统。

Retail-Only Distribution: No Allocation to VCs or Insiders

仅零售分销：没有分配给VC或内部人士

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）偏离了典型的代币发布会，表示午夜的Airdrop将对风险投资公司或早期投资者提供任何分配。令牌将专门用于参与网络上的零售用户。

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.

霍斯金森认为，避免机构预售是一种挑战他所谓的“ VC庞氏骗子”模型的预付给代币模型。可以选择无限制出售，持有或丢弃它们的接收者，将立即提供空调的令牌。

Expanding Across Eight Major Blockchains

跨八个主要区块链扩展

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.

冰川滴将跨越八个网络：Cardano，以太坊，Solana，Avalanche，Bitcoin，BNB链，XRP Ledger和基本关注的标志生态系统。通过包括通常在竞争中看到的平台，霍斯金森的目标是鼓励加密社区之间的更多合作。

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

他说，持续的竞争重点是项目之间的小差异，这阻碍了该行业的广泛增长。

“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.”

“我们处于这种不断争论的智能合同编程语言差异约0.01％的状态，或者争论哪些区块链可以每秒进行6,000笔交易，而每秒10,000笔交易。”

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

根据霍斯金森的说法，这种竞争性态度阻止了加密货币获得广泛采用。

“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.”

“我们仍然处于十年前的同一状态，一小部分发烧友在在线论坛上争论，而更广阔的世界仍然无动于衷。”

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.

为了促进更大的合作，他宣布，午夜的技术功能之一将使开发人员可以以其本地区块链的原始货币支付网络费用。

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，一个在以太坊上建立申请的团队将在ETH中支付他们的费用，而Solana的团队将在SOL中付款。这旨在降低各种开发人员团队为午夜做出贡献的进入障碍。

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.

该协议还将支持跨链验证者的参与，因此来自各种区块链的基础架构提供商都可以帮助确保午夜网络并赢得奖励，而不管他们主要支持哪个平台。

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计划在2025年底之前推出。随着开发的进展，霍斯金森（Hoskinson）表示希望该项目将有助于扩大对隐私解决方案的访问权限，并在加密货币行业进行桥梁意识形态分歧。

“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.

他说：“这是我最喜欢的项目。”该项目有可能团结不同社区并扩大了分散技术的影响力。
