Solana DeFi Exchange Jupiter Launches Rewards Checker Ahead of $575 Million Airdrop

Thursday. January 16 at 10:00 AM

Jupiter, a decentralized exchange aggregator on Solana, has introduced an airdrop checker for users to check their eligibility for the upcoming 'Jupuary' airdrop. The event aims to expand the Jupiter ecosystem by distributing 700 million JUP tokens, valued at over $575 million. The tokens will be distributed among three groups: 'users' who benefit from Jupiter products, stakers of the Jupiter token, and growth initiatives. Around 2 million wallets are expected to qualify for the airdrop, with a focus on engaging active community members. While not all wallets will receive tokens, those who do will likely contribute to the platform's decentralized governance. The JUP token claim process is set to commence soon, following the success of previous airdrop events in 2024 and plans for another in 2026. Jupiter continues to drive community engagement and growth in the DeFi space.
