DEX to Airdrop a Billion Tokens to Solana Wallet Users
Jupiter, a decentralized exchange running on Solana (SOL), is set to make a significant move in the early months of the upcoming year.
Meow, the pseudonymous figure steering Jupiter, recently shared plans on the social media platform X. They outlined a distribution plan for the forthcoming 10 billion JUP tokens, revealing that half of these tokens will be allocated to the community, while the remaining half stays within the Jupiter team.
A substantial portion, precisely 40%, of the token supply is dedicated to four rounds of community airdrops. The initial airdrop, anticipated to roll out in January, marks the beginning of this strategy to engage the community actively.
Meow highlighted the core principles that underpin Jupiter’s philosophy. They stressed the importance of achieving equilibrium between a focused entity capable of continuous talent acquisition, product development, and strategic execution, and an engaged community capable of providing checks and balances and contributing diverse perspectives.
Jupiter doesn’t just see itself as a decentralized exchange; it aspires to be a comprehensive ecosystem booster, aiming to elevate Solana’s position in the wider crypto sphere.

The team firmly believes in Solana’s potential as the ideal blockchain to attract the next billion users. Through the introduction of JUP, their aim is to entice users to explore the various offerings within the Solana ecosystem.
Their broader vision includes developing a suite of advanced trading tools that rival centralized counterparts, providing little incentive for users to return to traditional exchanges. As the range of possibilities on the blockchain expands, the founder anticipates fewer reasons for capital withdrawal from the ecosystem.
More detailed information about the airdrop and JUP liquidity provisions is expected to be gradually revealed in the coming weeks, as per statements by Meow.
