Hi fellow stake pool operators,
I have been operating a stake pool for a few years now. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Glacier Airdrop for the Night token last year and am quite disappointed about it. It was an incredibly busy time at the end of last year, and a demanding project consumed all my time and energy, causing me to completely miss the airdrop news. I understand there’s a Phase 2 ‘Lost and Found’ program, but I haven’t been able to find much information regarding its specifics. As a stake pool operator, would I qualify for this segment of the airdrop?
It was based on wallets, rather than being an SPO, etc. So check your wallet entitlements and go from there. I can’t remember the next few stages of the thaw and claim regime.
hi @jeremyisme,
My wallet balance for the stake pool was healthy in terms of ADA so I assume that I was entitled to some NIGHT.
One thing I’m unsure about is that my wallet uses CLI-generated keys rather than a standard HD wallet with a seed phrase, which is typical for stake pool operators. Does anyone know if the Lost-and-Found portal will support manual/CLI signing, or will it require a browser wallet extension like Eternl or Lace?
Also does anyone have an idea of when Lost-and-Found is expected to open?
Thanks
Both the Midnight FAQ (in the first few questions with the “Lost & Found” tag) & the whitepaper say it can open any time (literally “some time”) after the Midnight mainnet is operational (which recent announcements said would be happening around now): https://www.midnight.gd/faq
I successfully used CLI claim signing for a CLI-generated stake pool pledge address in the previous claim period, according to the instructions here:
Missed out on the Glacier Night Token Distribution and feeling really disappointed. I was looking forward to participating and earning rewards. Hope there will be another opportunity soon for those who couldn’t join this time. Please consider a second round or bonus drop.

Personally, I’m not a stake pool operator, so I may not be the best person to answer. What I do know is that the snapshot was taken only for wallets, not stake pools; you can read more here: https://redeem.midnight.gd/
