Is there a Jupiter airdrop?
Not right now. Jupuary, Jupiter's annual JUP airdrop, ran in 2024 and 2025, and the 2026 round was postponed. In a DAO vote that ended on 22 February 2026, the "Net-Zero Emissions" option took 75% of about 480 million votes. That option returns the 700 million JUP set aside for Jupuary to the Community Cold Multisig and keeps the usage and stake snapshot already taken.
Only a future DAO vote can release those tokens. The vote page lists no proposal after that one, so no 2026 or 2027 Jupuary is dated.
The reward still running is Active Staking Rewards (ASR). Every quarter 50 million JUP is shared among JUP stakers by time-weighted stake, and you don't have to vote to qualify.
What Jupiter is
Jupiter is a trading app on Solana that began with token swaps. It now also offers perpetuals, lending, prediction markets and a wallet. JUP is its governance token.
How Jupiter ASR works
ASR is paid in JUP and added to your staked balance. You have to claim it at jup.ag/rewards in a limited window after each quarter. For April to June 2026, claims opened on 8 July, and the docs give 7 October 2026 as the last day to claim through a support ticket.
Jupiter airdrop step-by-step guide
- Get JUP into a Solana wallet. Check the token address against the one in Jupiter's docs.
- Connect the wallet at vote.jup.ag, enter an amount and click Stake. Keep about 0.01 SOL for gas.
- Stay staked. Your ASR share depends on how much you stake and for how long.
- When claims open, connect the same wallet at jup.ag/rewards and claim.
- Follow @jup_dao for new proposals, including any vote on Jupuary.

Jupiter costs and fees
Staking means buying and holding JUP, and its price can fall while you hold it. Unstaking takes 7 days. Swaps in the default Ultra mode cost 0% to 0.5% depending on the pair, and Manual mode swaps carry no Jupiter commission.
Jupiter risks and eligibility
- No Jupuary is scheduled, and the proposal doesn't say when the DAO will vote again. It also doesn't promise that activity after the preserved snapshot will count.
- ASR is not sent automatically. Rewards you don't claim in time return to the community treasury.
- Jupiter's terms of use bar wallets in the United States, Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and other listed or sanctioned places, and prohibit using a VPN to get around the ban.
Who is behind Jupiter?
Jupiter's docs name Meow as a co-founder and say there is no equity entity in Jupiter's structure. In February 2026 CoinDesk reported that ParaFi Capital made a $35 million investment in JUP, settled in JupUSD.
