Jupiter’s Jupuary Airdrop Checker Goes Live

Jupiter’s airdrop checker has gone live, according to an X post from an associate of the Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator. Its token price is up 5% in the last 24 hours following the announcement.

During the so-called “Jupuary” event, 700 million JUP tokens, approximately $581 million according to current Jupiter prices, will be airdropped to active members of the Jupiter community in what would be one of the largest airdrops in history.

“Jupuary is our annual airdrop designed to Grow the Pie. Our goal is to send a gift to qualified users, invite them to contribute their ideas through governance, and continue expanding the best DAO in crypto,” said Kash Dhanda in the X post.

Jupuary Airdrop Allocation

Eligible participants have been split into three categories: users, stakers, and carrots.

The users' category consists of participants who consistently interact with Jupiter products and are divided into two subgroups: Swap users and Expert Traders. 440 million JUP has been allocated to this category.

Swap users comprise participants who use Jupiter Swap on the DEX or via API integrations on various platforms, such as Phantom. Expert Traders are participants that use other Jupiter products, such as Perps (for perpetuals trading) and Ape (for memecoin trading).

Stakers are the participants who staked their JUP tokens. The category is further divided into two subgroups: Super Voters and Super Stakers.

Carrots is a category set aside to incentivize Jupuary recipients who stake their allocations via Jupiter Mobile, members who contributed significantly to the Jupiter ecosystem, plus tokens set aside from members who did not get an allocation and appealed.
