What to know about the Jupiter airdrop?

Let’s rewind a second. Known as “Jupuary,” this significant token distribution event is managed by Jupiter, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on the Solana blockchain.

Jupiter aims to provide users with the best trading experience by aggregating liquidity from multiple DEXs and routing trades through the most efficient paths. The platform allows users to swap tokens seamlessly while ensuring low slippage and competitive pricing.

Scheduled for January 2025, the airdrop is set to reward active users, stakers, and community contributors with a total of 700 million JUP tokens, valued at approximately $580 million.

Allocation breakdown for the 2025 airdrop:

• Total tokens: 700 million JUP
• Users and stakers: 500 million JUP
• Carrots and Good Cats: 200 million JUP

“Carrots” are users who continue holding their airdrop rewards, purchase/increase their JUP holdings, or are compensated after being mistakenly flagged as bots. \
“Good Cats” are contributors who make quality contributions to the community.

Users, or rather swap users, have specific eligibility tiers based on the Swap volume they move. Tier-based allocations are also applicable to expert traders, who also belong to the “users” category.

Stakers, on the other hand, can be standard DAO stakers or voters, each of which have separate eligibility requirements.

Did you know? Jupiter’s first airdrop was one of the largest in Solana’s history, distributing 1 billion JUP tokens to nearly 1 million wallets. Following the airdrop, the JUP price surged by 300%, rising from $0.45 to an all-time high of $1.85.

What’s the purpose of the Jupiter airdrop?

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop aims to:

• Reward active participants: Acknowledge and incentivize users who have actively engaged with the platform.
• Promote ecosystem growth: Encourage continued participation and attract new users to the Jupiter ecosystem.
• Enhance decentralization: Distribute governance tokens to a broad user base, creating a more decentralized community.

Stay safe when claiming airdrops

Keep in mind that the snapshot for eligibility was taken between Nov. 3, 2023, and Nov. 2, 2024. This means only activities during that time frame are considered for the Jupiter airdrop. If you’re not eligible this time, you can still prepare for potential future rewards by actively participating in Jupiter’s ecosystem. This snapshot-based system ensures fairness, so rushing to meet criteria now won’t qualify you for this airdrop — but it could prepare you for what’s next.

Remember to be cautious of phishing links, double-check URLs, and never share your private keys. When legitimate airdrops like Japuary take place, fraudsters often imitate these projects in order to deceive users into giving up private information or sending crypto in exchange. As such, you should prioritize safety and security at all times.
