As the crypto world ushers in the new year, all eyes are on Jupiter Exchange's highly anticipated Jupuary 2025 event.
This massive token distribution is set to reward the platform's most active users, traders, and supporters with a whopping 700 million JUP tokens.
Jupiter's Jupuary Checker
The Airdrop Checker Goes Live
On January 15, 2025, Jupiter Exchange launched its Jupuary 2025 Airdrop Checker, allowing users to verify their eligibility for a share of the 700 million JUP tokens up for grabs. This tool has been eagerly awaited by the community, as it provides insight into the potential rewards based on users' activities from November 2, 2023, to November 1, 2024.
Breaking Down the Allocation
The distribution of JUP tokens is designed to reward various types of users within the Jupiter ecosystem:
Swap Users (440 million JUP)
The largest chunk of the airdrop is reserved for swap users, with allocations based on their Swap Scores. These scores take into account adjusted USD volumes and trading behavior. The tiers are as follows:
- Tier 1: 20,000 JUP per wallet
- Tier 2: 10,000 JUP per wallet
- Tier 3: 3,000 JUP per wallet
- Tier 4: 250 JUP per wallet
- Tier 5: 50 JUP per wallet
It's worth noting that transactions involving illiquid tokens, circular trades, or swaps under $5 don't contribute to the score.
Expert Traders (70 million JUP)
Jupiter is showing some serious love to its expert traders. Those who've used advanced features like limit orders, perpetual swaps, DCA, and Ape Pro are in for a treat:
- Tier 1: A jaw-dropping 300,000 JUP per wallet
- Tier 5: A still impressive 20,000 JUP per wallet
Stakers and Voters (60 million JUP)
Long-term supporters aren't left out. Stakers will receive:
- Regular stakers: 0.1 JUP per 1 JUP staked
- Super voters (13/17 votes or more): 0.3 JUP per 1 JUP staked
Additional Incentives
Jupiter isn't stopping there. They've cooked up some extra goodies:
Mobile App Bonus: Claim your airdrop through the Jupiter Mobile App and stake your tokens for an additional 50 to 200 JUP per wallet.
Carrots and Good Cat Nominations: A hefty 200 million JUP is set aside for community contributions and additional incentives.
Eligibility and Important Dates
The snapshot period for eligibility ran from November 3, 2023, to November 2, 2024. The actual distribution is scheduled to begin on January 18 and continue until January 24, 2025.
It's crucial to note that the qualifying score isn't solely based on trading volume. Jupiter takes into account various factors, including volume, consistency, and transaction behavior.
What This Means for the Community
With around 2.32 million wallets eligible out of 10.65 million existing wallets, this airdrop is set to impact a significant portion of Jupiter's user base. The team's decision not to allocate any of the 700 million JUP tokens to themselves underscores their commitment to community growth.
Looking Ahead
As Jupuary 2025 unfolds, it's clear that Jupiter Exchange is making a bold move to reward its users and solidify its position in the Solana ecosystem. With a 30% token burn scheduled for January 26 during the Catstanbul event, the platform is taking strategic steps to manage token supply and potentially increase scarcity.
For those eligible, this airdrop represents a significant opportunity to increase their stake in the Jupiter ecosystem. For the wider crypto community, it's a testament to the growing importance of user engagement and loyalty in decentralized finance.
As we watch this event unfold, one thing is certain: Jupuary 2025 is set to be a defining moment for Jupiter Exchange and its community.
