Background
Earlier last week, we summarized the potential clues for the second round airdrop of Jupiter (Jupuary#2) in the article “Is the Second Round Airdrop of Jupiter Coming? A Summary of Existing Clues”. The core points of the article are as follows:
Including the first round airdrop in January this year, Jupiter is expected to conduct a total of four rounds of airdrops, with each round likely occurring every January;
Jupiter has reserved a total of 2.1 billion JUP for the subsequent three rounds of airdrops (already included in the burn data);
Jupiter founder meow has stated that the airdrop will be community-driven and mentioned that the criteria for the next round of airdrop will be “significantly different” from the first round;
Several institutions have proposed specific airdrop plans designed by themselves in the Jupiter governance forum, and some plans have received certain community support.
A week later, more new clues about the second round airdrop of Jupiter have emerged, especially with meow recently chatting frantically on Discord, providing some new insights on core matters such as “snapshot time,” “airdrop time,” and “reference standards.”
Snapshot Time
First, regarding the most concerning issue of snapshot time, although Jupiter has not yet issued an official announcement through social media, meow has clearly mentioned that the “(airdrop reference) standard is between November 2nd.”
In response, a user further inquired whether all old users are eligible for the second round airdrop, to which meow gave a clear reply: “users since last November” — note the term “users” here, which will be elaborated on later.
So it is clear that the reference range for the second round airdrop of Jupiter will be from November 2nd last year to November 2nd this year.
Airdrop Start Time
Regarding the airdrop time, a user once asked, “How many days until voting opens? Will airdrop queries be available on December 1st?” meow responded with “expected to open on November 25th,” but did not specify which question it corresponds to.
Since meow later clearly stated on X: “…it would pain us greatly if JUP falls into the wrong hands, and in the next two weeks, we will fiercely debate the meaning of ‘correct’…”
It can be inferred that the November 25th opening mentioned by meow should be the start time for voting on the airdrop, at which point the community will vote to decide which specific airdrop plan to implement.
After the voting is completed, Jupiter will then launch the airdrop query page. Considering the time required for voting, this page will likely not be released until December at the earliest.
Airdrop Standards: Controversy Over Staking and Voting
In the discussions over the past two days, the biggest controversy has been regarding the standards for the airdrop, specifically whether the staking and voting behavior of JUP holders should be considered.
In response, meow gave a clear negative answer: “Staking and voting behavior will not be included in the airdrop standards.”
Considering that the voting body for Jupiter proposals consists of JUP stakers, meow's statement is bound to face opposition from JUP holders. However, meow's logic is that the airdrop is primarily aimed at a narrow definition of users who have used Jupiter's products, and staking behavior is unrelated to the airdrop (this part of the behavior will be rewarded through the ASR module), but stakers can also obtain the airdrop by using Jupiter's services.”
Regarding the specific airdrop standards for user behavior, meow did not mention many details (it is expected that this will be known only after voting opens), but he did emphasize that bot addresses will be excluded to ensure the fairness of the airdrop.
Other Factors: Lock-up Restrictions
In addition to the above key points, another highly concerned aspect is the lock-up restrictions on airdrop tokens.
Meow himself mentioned that “the airdrop is expected to have a 1-year lock-up restriction.”
However, meow also mentioned the possibility of immediate token receipt, stating that “users can choose to lock up or immediately take 40%” — but meow also indicated that this standard has not yet been fully determined.
Team Attitude: Aiming to Distribute Airdrops to the Right Hands
This morning, after concluding the community discussion, meow expressed his thoughts on the second round airdrop in a post on X.
As we are about to begin what may be the most controversial vote in Jupiter's history, I want everyone to know some important things. JUP is a valuable strategic reserve, the result of my lifelong efforts, and the culmination of our team's hard work. We will never treat it carelessly — it would pain us greatly if JUP falls into the wrong hands. In the next two weeks, we will fiercely debate the meaning of “correct” — regardless of the outcome, I hope everyone believes that I will always consider the long-term interests of JUP.”
As one of the most successful projects in the Solana ecosystem to date, Jupiter received considerable praise when designing the first round airdrop, and after the airdrop, JUP also showed a good trend. As the second round airdrop approaches, we have reason to believe that Jupiter can once again deliver a satisfactory answer to most users.
