A major exchange recently made a big move—announcing an airdrop of Midnight(NIGHT) tokens to users holding ADA, BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, AVAX, and BAT.

However, this quickly caused an uproar. Some sharp-eyed community members noticed that the airdrop list included BNB holders, but not holders of the platform's own token. Many users expressed confusion—why are holders of other projects' tokens getting benefits, while their own community is excluded?

In response to the criticism, the platform quickly stated that they have noticed the community feedback and understand everyone's feelings. However, as for the follow-up arrangements regarding the NIGHT airdrop, the official statement was cut short, and how it will be handled remains to be seen.

ADA-6.97%

BTC-2.55%

ETH-3.39%

SOL-5.77%

It's the same old trick again, getting our own coin's investors ripped off to the end.

This move is really something else—their own coin is being neglected, and instead, they're giving gifts to someone else's coin.

Even their own token was excluded. This move is wild, haha.

This logic is a bit backwards. Even their own token doesn’t count; the mechanism design is pretty outrageous. Wait, isn’t this a textbook example of incentive incompatibility? Who’s going to fix this? The explanation just stopped halfway—I've seen this trick too many times, and it usually doesn’t end well. Designing the airdrop list like this—isn’t it just testing the community’s tolerance? The official “we understand your feelings” is just a stalling tactic. Let’s see how the next proposal is written. This is unbearable—they even excluded their own people. What a huge loophole!

Unbelievable, their own token is excluded? Isn't this shooting themselves in the foot?

This tactic is way too ruthless; their own token holders are being locked out. This is playing with fire.

I'm starting to see through this pattern more and more—when it comes to airdropping other people's tokens, it's fast, but when it's our turn, they start dragging their feet.

Excluding your own token holders? That’s just ridiculous. The airdrop list includes BNB but not the platform token—who can understand this logic?

This move is really unbelievable; their own token holders aren't able to benefit? What is the team even doing?
