The 700 million JUP tokens are damaged into three classes of recipients, led by “customers,” a class outlined by these gaining worth from Jupiter merchandise, most notably token swaps. This class of neighborhood members will obtain 440 million of the JUP tokens put aside for the airdrop.
A further 60 million JUP will likely be claimable for stakers of the Jupiter token, with the ultimate 200 million JUP tokens put aside for “carrots”—an allocation of tokens reserved for progress initiatives, and incentives for many who determine to carry or stake their JUP tokens.

The JUP token declare is anticipated to be stay someday subsequent week, although a proper date was not supplied.
The platform held its first airdrop in January 2024, offering 1 billion JUP tokens to just about 1 million wallets. It’s going to host one other Jupuary occasion in January 2026, pursuant to essentially the most lately handed Jupiter DAO proposal that grants one other airdrop of 700 million tokens.
