What Is the Jupiter (JUP) Airdrop?

The Jupuary 2025 airdrop is Jupiter’s second major distribution event, following the successful Jupuary 2024. Designed to reward active community members and early supporters, this airdrop distributes 700 million JUP tokens across three main categories: Users, Stakers, and Carrots. The distribution strategy aims to incentivize genuine engagement, long-term commitment, and the growth of Jupiter’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

• Users: 440 million JUP

• Stakers: 60 million JUP

• Carrots: 200 million JUP
