The initiative aims to distribute 700 million JUP tokens to reward users, stakers, and contributors, fostering greater engagement within the platform.
The majority of the allocation—340 million JUP—will go to swap users across 2 million eligible wallets. Rewards will be tiered based on trading volume, with users trading over $800 qualifying for the lowest tier. High-volume traders, particularly those with over $14 million in trades, will receive the largest rewards.
Expert traders employing advanced strategies such as limit orders and perpetual swaps are also set to benefit. A dedicated pool of 85 million JUP will reward 320,000 eligible wallets, with top-tier traders earning up to 100,000 JUP each.

Jupiter’s staking community isn’t left out. The Jupiter DAO will distribute 37.5 million JUP to stakers based on their contributions, while “Super Voters”—users participating in at least 13 out of 17 governance proposals—will share another 37.5 million JUP.
One unique feature of the Jupuary airdrop is its stacking mechanism, allowing participants to accumulate rewards from multiple categories. To ensure transparency and prevent Sybil attacks, Jupiter plans to roll out wallet-linking profiles, enabling users to consolidate activities across wallets for a comprehensive view of contributions.
This isn’t Jupiter’s first entry into airdrops. In 2023, the platform distributed nearly 1 billion JUP tokens to users with $1,000 or more in swap volume before a November snapshot.
Since its launch in October 2021 by its pseudonymous founder, “Meow,” Jupiter has aggregated liquidity across Solana DEXs, offering competitive rates for token swaps. With a 24-hour trading volume recently surpassing $2.3 billion, the platform continues to solidify its position in the DeFi ecosystem.

2026 Jupuary was cut from 700 Million to 200 Million
Jupiter’s planned 2026 distribution was initially expected to involve another 700 million JUP, but the DAO later reconsidered the plan.
In November 2025, Jupiter revised the structure, reducing the immediate Jupuary allocation to 200 million JUP. The change was designed to reduce dilution following concerns over the impact of previous distributions on JUP’s supply and price.
The revised structure allocated the 200 million JUP to active participants and stakers, while another 200 million JUP was set aside as a potential bonus for recipients who continued holding and staking their allocation.
The remaining 300 million JUP was designated for future JupNet incentives rather than being released directly to users. Tokenomics data shows that this replaced the original plan for a single 700 million-token release.
The final Jupuary took place in 2026
A snapshot was taken on January 30, 2026, with 200 million JUP allocated for the final distribution. Of that amount, approximately 170 million was designated for fee-paying users and 30 million for stakers.
Jupiter also introduced stronger incentives for recipients to hold their tokens. Users who maintained their allocation and continued staking could qualify for additional rewards from the separate 200 million JUP bonus pool.
