$JUP Airdrop: Everything You Need to Know About Jupiter’s Jupuary Airdrop 2025

Jupiter, the leading DEX aggregator on Solana, shared the first draft of its highly anticipated Jupuary 2025 airdrop during a community call on December 26, 2024. With 700 million $JUP tokens up for grabs, the distribution aims to reward users, stakers, and contributors across various categories.

Airdrop Distribution Overview

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop allocates 500 million $JUP as fixed rewards and 200 million $JUP for variable incentives.

Swap Users

A total of 340 million $JUP is allocated to Swap Users with 2M eligible wallets, divided into five tiers based on trading volumes.

Wallets that have swapped over $800 in volume during the eligibility period qualify for Tier 5, with the rewards per wallet increasing significantly for higher tiers. Tier 1 wallets, which traded $14 million or more, receive the highest rewards. 

Expert Traders

Expert Traders who utilize advanced features like limit orders, perpetual swaps, DCA, and Ape Pro are eligible for a separate allocation of 85 million $JUP spread across seven tiers with 320k eligible wallets.

 These rewards prioritize more active and sophisticated traders, with the highest tier offering up to 100K $JUP per wallet. The minimum threshold for the use of minimum products or volume has not been disclosed.

Stakers & Voters

 Stakers within the Jupiter DAO will share 37.5 million $JUP, distributed proportionally based on the amount of $JUP staked. Super Voters, who voted in at least 13 DAO governance proposals out of 17, will split another 37.5 million $JUP.

This extra incentive rewards those contributing to the platform's decision-making processes, with Super Voters receiving higher rewards per staked $JUP compared to regular stakers.

Jupiter has confirmed that rewards from different categories will stack, meaning a user eligible in multiple categories, such as Swap Users and Expert Traders, will receive cumulative rewards. This approach ensures that active participants across the ecosystem are comprehensively rewarded for their contributions.

Wallet Profiles

Jupiter plans to introduce wallet-linking profiles that will allow users to aggregate their activities across multiple wallets.

However, this feature will not help users reach higher tiers, as the airdrop will still be based on individual wallets. Instead, the community can use this feature to demonstrate that they are not engaging in Sybil attacks and to prove that they are genuine users. 

Community Feedback Sparks Debate

Initial feedback from Jupiter's Discord reveals mixed reactions. Many users expressed frustration over the wide gap between swap tiers, particularly the jump from $29K to $500K in volume requirements. Some noted that this distribution heavily favors high-volume traders, potentially sidelining smaller contributors.

Another point of contention centers on the rewards for Jupiter Perps users, who generate protocol revenue through fees. Unlike swaps, which are free to use, Perps directly contribute to the platform's sustainability. Many community members suggested prioritizing Perps users with a separate allocation or higher rewards to reflect their contributions.

Carrots

To promote the adoption of the Jupiter Mobile app, 190 million $JUP is allocated to the "Carrots" program. Users who claim their airdrop through the app and stake their tokens will receive additional rewards ranging from 50 to 200 $JUP per wallet. This incentive is designed to encourage long-term engagement with the ecosystem, fostering sustained participation in staking and product usage via the Jupiter Mobile app.

Jupiter's draft plan is still subject to changes, with the team actively soliciting feedback from the community. The final checker is expected to be released in 2nd week of January 2025. The snapshot period, which ran from November 3, 2023, to November 2, 2024, captured eligible activity. A community member made an unofficial Dune tracker available to help users estimate their eligibility and rankings.

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop promises significant rewards but faces the challenge of balancing user incentives and addressing community concerns. As updates roll out, all eyes will be on how Jupiter navigates this pivotal distribution event.
