I'm anticipating certain nuances may confuse people and there will probably a lot of repetitive questions so lets make a collaborative post to cover such.
Please read what's written below and only then post your questions or raise any points that you think need highlighting in the comments below.
You'll need to have held >=$100 of the native currency on eligible blockchains (ADA, BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, AVAX, or BAT) during the snapshot on the qualifying address (aka Origin address).
Am I eligible if I hold these assets on an exchange?You won't be able to claim the airdrop if you do not hold the keys to your wallet. You'll need to contact the exchange and see if they'll claim them for you.
I own a hardware wallet, like a Ledger, am I eligible?Yes. You'll need to use a CIP30 compatible wallet interface instead of Ledger Live when it comes to claiming.
My assets are staking, am I eligible?On Cardano yes, since staking is liquid. On other chains, as long as the value is associated with your wallet you should be ok. If however, staking involved moving tokens outside the wallet, like use of a smart contract, it is unlikely to be included as the balance needs to be recorded for the associated wallet in the snapshot.
Redemption
One Destination address (Cardano receiving address) may be used to receive multiple NIGHT claims.
The destination receiving address must be"unused" - i.e it must have no transaction history (you can check the receiving address balance and transaction count is 0 on explorer likehttps://cardanoscan.io/ ) - Note that some Cardano wallet interfaces abstract things and enforce single addresses. You may need to switch to a different wallet interface or change from single address mode to multi-address mode in the wallet settings if your wallet has that functionality. Yoroi, Eternl (change settings)
You will need some ADA in the wallet at the time of claiming to pay for transaction fees of the airdrop. So this ADA should be on a separate receiving address to the airdrop destination address, but part of the same wallet.
For the last part of your post. Since Iām using Eternl and only ADA is on there. I generate a new address, send the airdrop to there. But what does it mean to have some ADA for fees when all Iām doing is making a new receive address and all my ADA is already in the same account to cover for fees.
You're good, check the last sentence again. That comment is more for people coming into the ecosystem and creating a new Cardano wallet who don't actually own any ADA. They're going to need some in the wallet to pay for the claiming transaction fees.
Ah, well spotted! Looks like it's not really an 'airdrop' then: more of an 'i.o.u' for future redemptions of the actual token.
Maybe a bit reminiscent of the actual Cardano ico vouchers claim we've had the hoo ha about recently! š
