Jupuary 2025: What To Do If Your Wallet Was Flagged as Sybil, Compromised, or Inorganic

⚠️ Important Warning: There are lots of scammers currently targeting users. Please avoid any DMs, friend requests, or links from unknown sources, they are likely scams. Always verify through official channels like the Jupiter Discord to stay safe.

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop introduced strict anti-sybil measures to ensure fairness, but some legitimate wallets may have been mistakenly flagged. If your wallet was marked as Sybil, Compromised, or Inorganic, this guide will help you understand why and what steps you can take to appeal.

Sybil Wallet

Your wallet was flagged because it showed signs of trying to game the system. This includes:
- Trading for less than three weeks before the airdrop.
- A high transaction failure rate (50% or more).
- Rapid, circular transactions designed to manipulate eligibility.

Compromised Wallet

Your wallet was flagged as compromised, meaning someone marked it as unsafe. This could be because:

Someone signed on this wallet to indicate it may be at risk.
The owner flagged it to withhold the allocation.
You may have mistakenly marked it as compromised.

Inorganic Wallet

Your wallet was flagged because it showed unnatural trading activity. This includes:

Large, sudden inflows of assets.
Wash trading or repeated small trades to appear active.
Other suspicious on-chain behaviors that suggest manipulation.

Your wallet was flagged as a sybil or bot?

Immediate Steps

Currently, there is no formal appeal system for flagged wallets, and manual review of hundreds of thousands of cases is not feasible. The Jupiter team does not intend to introduce KYC but is working on a privacy-preserving solution using zero-knowledge (zk) proofs.

Upcoming Appeal System (Soon)

Proof-Based Verification: Users will be able to generate zk-proofs client-side to verify their identity without exposing sensitive data.
Required Proofs: You will need to present:
- One email from a centralized exchange (CEX) or
- Two emails from selected Web2 providers.
Estimated Launch Time: The system is expected to go live next week. Successful appeals will be able to claim their airdrop.

Current Options Until the System Launches

While waiting for the zk-proof system, some users have attempted to raise concerns via Discord. However, due to an overwhelmed support team, responses are significantly delayed.

Join the Jupiter Discord: This remains the hub for real-time updates on appeals.
Wait Until After Catstanbul: The team is prioritizing this event, so responses will be slow until it concludes.
Open a Ticket in #Jupurary-Ticket (Optional): Some users have opened tickets here, providing transaction IDs or other evidence. However, this is not an official appeal system, and responses are not guaranteed.

Final Recommendations

Be Patient: The zk-proof system will streamline appeals, eliminating manual reviews.
Prepare Your Proofs: Gather emails from a CEX or Web2 providers in anticipation of the new system.
Stay Updated: Monitor the Jupiter Discord for announcements on the launch of the zk-proof appeal process.

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop is a historic step for the Jupiter DAO, and while challenges exist, the upcoming appeal system aims to provide a fair and efficient solution.

Good luck, and may the Jupiverse continue to grow!
