JUP DAO Newsletter #18

🎉 J.U.P RALLY: JUPUARY EDITION

JUPUARY 2025

Jupiter is launching a new airdrop checker with a profile system where users can connect their email and wallets
The airdrop will include over 2 million wallets this year
Each wallet will receive its own separate allocation – multiple wallet allocations won’t be combined
This year’s airdrop will be more selective – not everyone who used Jupiter will qualify, and some may receive smaller amounts than last year
Jupiter has grown significantly, with nearly 10 million wallets using the platform and 50x increase in volume
The airdrop proposal received 87% community approval, above the required 70% super majority threshold
The token claim will begin next week
Appeals process will be available in the next few days, with a 3-month window to submit appeals
Qualifying period for the airdrop was from November 2, 2023 to November 2, 2024
Certain transactions were discounted or not counted, including:
1. Stable-to-stable swaps
2. SOL-to-SOL swaps
3. Transactions under $5
Time-weighted stake is calculated by taking two snapshots every month and averaging them
Super voters (top 10% who voted on 13+ proposals) and super stakers (never attempted to unstake) get additional bonuses
500 million tokens will be released next week for users and stakers
Additional “carrot” incentives will be available for:
1. Using Jupiter mobile to claim and stake
2. Successful appeals
3. Good Cats (community contributors)
4. Future alignment initiatives
