On December 26, 2024, the Jupiter team revealed the first draft of the Jupuary allocations on the J.U.P Rally podcast. This article summarizes the key points, noting that the exact amounts are subject to change based on community feedback.
Overview of Jupuary Allocations
A total of 700 million JUP tokens will be distributed. The allocation plan aims to reward genuine users and stakeholders of the Jupiter ecosystem.
*Eligible Wallets and Tiering Allocations*
Approximately 2.3 million wallets are eligible for the airdrop, excluding stakers. The initial tiering allocations for Jupiter swap users require a minimum swap volume of $800 worth of tokens before the November 2024 snapshot.
*Expert Traders and JUP Staking Allocations*
Expert traders using Jupiter's perpetuals exchange will receive allocations, although the minimum volume to qualify is unknown. JUP stakers can expect to receive around 10% of their staked amount, with bonus allocations for active stakers who participated in most proposals.
*"Carrots" Incentives*
Additional incentives, categorized as "Carrots," include:
- A bonus of 50-200 JUP for users claiming and staking their airdrop through JUP Mobile.
- Bonuses to incentivize participation and staking JUP tokens throughout 2025.
*Conclusion
As the Jupuary airdrop approaches, the Jupiter team will share more details. The airdrop aims to reward genuine users and stakeholders, and the team emphasizes that it is not intended for airdrop farming. To qualify for this and future Jupuaries, continued genuine use of Jupiter is recommended.
