Solana Users Could Be in for Another Treat
If you are a Solana user, get ready for some good news. Nearly one million SOL wallets could be eligible to receive four billion tokens from DeFi aggregator Jupiter, following the recent boom in the blockchain. This airdrop, equivalent to 40% of Jupiter’s total JUP tokens, was announced on Wednesday according to X (formerly Twitter).
Starting next week, the airdrop will distribute one billion Jupiter tokens to users who have completed a minimum of $1,000 in swap volume on the protocol. Jupiter is a major DeFi project within the Solana space, offering a swap aggregator designed for smart traders to find the best rates when trading tokens. In the past 24 hours, it has processed $97.8 million in transactions, according to CoinGecko.
The Growing Interest in Solana
This airdrop is a strategy to attract more users and create excitement around the project by distributing free tokens. Solana itself has experienced a renewed interest in recent months. The project and its native SOL token experienced a setback after the collapse of FTX last year, as FTX heavily invested in Solana.
However, the sixth largest crypto project has made a surprising comeback, with major companies like Visa and Shopify expressing interest in using its blockchain. The price of SOL has also seen significant growth, attributed in part to a short squeeze – a market phenomenon explained by Patrick Felder, founder & CIO at Prismatic Capital.
Hot Take: Solana’s Surge and the Upcoming Airdrop
The upcoming airdrop from Jupiter presents a lucrative opportunity for SOL holders within the Solana ecosystem. As the blockchain continues to gain traction and attract major partnerships, it’s clear that these airdrops are just one of the many benefits Solana users can expect in the coming months. Keep an eye on the latest developments in the Solana space to make the most of these exciting opportunities.
