Jupiter Airdrop 2026: Jupuary Postponed, What You Can Claim

Jupiter airdrop status (as of 9 Oct 2026)

Why there’s no Jupiter airdrop in 2026

There’s no Jupiter airdrop in 2026 because the Jupiter DAO voted to postpone Jupuary indefinitely and send all 700M JUP set aside for it back to the community treasury. Voting ran 17 to 21 Feb 2026, and the result came through on 22 Feb: about 75% in favour, from more than 480M votes.

The proposal, called Net-Zero Emissions, went up on 13 Feb. Emissions just means new JUP hitting the market. The DAO could either run Jupuary within weeks or postpone it and cut new supply to roughly zero. The postponement won, and here’s what it changed:

• Jupuary is postponed indefinitely. The 700M JUP (a 200M initial drop, a 200M bonus pool and 300M for Jupnet) went back to the Community Cold Multisig. In plain words, that’s Jupiter’s community-controlled treasury wallet. Nothing leaves it without another vote.
• Team emissions stopped, and Jupiter now buys JUP from its own balance sheet to offset sales by Mercurial stakeholders.
• ASR is unchanged at 50M JUP a quarter, paid from tokens already in circulation.

Why do older guides (including the earlier version of this one) say “200M JUP” or call 2026 the last Jupuary? An earlier plan had already shrunk the up-front drop to 200M plus a 200M bonus pool, with 300M kept for Jupnet. The February vote then shelved all of it. If someone insists otherwise, the Net-Zero Emissions proposal lays out both options.

The snapshot (the record of wallet activity Jupiter took on 30 Jan 2026) is being kept for any future DAO decision. There’s no allocation attached to it and no date.

I get why holders voted for it: fewer tokens hitting the market. But it’s pretty rough if you’d been paying fees all January to qualify. That’s the risk with any points-style farm. The rules can change after the snapshot.

Jupiter airdrop checker: what it shows in 2026

Jupiter’s real airdrop checker sits in its Portfolio section. Connect a wallet and it shows your claim history and pending Solana airdrops. It won’t show a Jupuary 2026 allocation, because none exists. The proposal only planned a Jupuary checker if the drop went ahead, and it didn’t.

Fake Jupuary 2026 claim sites

YouTube and X are full of “Jupiter Airdrop 2026, claim up to $20K JUP” videos and sites. Every one of them is fake. The rules I’d follow:

• Check the domain itself is jup.ag (vote.jup.ag counts), not a lookalike that just has “jup” or “jupiter” somewhere in the address.
• Never sign or approve anything to “check” eligibility. Checking never needs a signature.
• A token or NFT that turns up in your wallet unasked, with a link to claim JUP, is bait. Don’t open the link.
• Nothing real will ever ask for your seed phrase.

Our guide to spotting fake airdrop claim sites covers the common tricks. Already signed something on one? Move what’s left to a fresh wallet and revoke approvals. These wallet security basics walk through it.

ASR: the JUP reward that’s still running

ASR pays 50M JUP every quarter to people who stake JUP, and the February vote left it untouched. It’s split by time-weighted stake: the more you stake and the longer it stays staked during the quarter, the bigger your share. What catches people out:

• You need an average of 50 JUP or more staked across the quarter. That’s on both 2026 campaign pages, so check it again on the Jul to Sep page.
• You don’t need to vote. Voting has no effect on ASR, whatever older guides say.
• It isn’t automatic. You claim it, and what you claim goes straight into your stake.
• The Rewards Hub claim is only open for a limited window. That’s the same page that runs Jupiter’s trading-card seasons. After the window closes you can only claim with a support ticket at support.jup.ag, up to the deadline on the campaign page. After that deadline the rewards are gone.

How much does ASR pay?

There’s no fixed rate. You get your share of everyone’s time-weighted stake, applied to the 50M JUP. If your stake averaged 0.01% of the total over the quarter, that’s 5,000 JUP. The more JUP everyone else stakes, the smaller your slice.

ASR claim dates 2026

Q2 caught a lot of people out. Jupiter’s launch post said you could claim until 8 Oct. In practice the Rewards Hub claim closed early, with no date published, and the last day for support-ticket claims was 7 Oct. Both have passed now, so if you missed Q2 there’s nothing left to do.

For Q3, the pattern pointed to 8 Oct, but it hadn’t appeared by 9 Oct. Watch @jup_dao and the Rewards Hub, and claim early in the window instead of leaving it until the deadline. I’ll add the dates here once they’re confirmed.

I hold JUP: stake, hold or sell?

There’s no airdrop decision to make here. It’s just whether ASR is worth locking your JUP up for.

Stake it and you earn a share of ASR each quarter. Unstaking starts a 7-day cooldown you can’t shorten, though you can cancel it during those 7 days. Rewards come in JUP, so what they’re worth moves with JUP.

Hold it unstaked and you get no ASR, and there’s no Jupuary to qualify for right now. It’s the most flexible option, but it earns nothing.

Don’t hold any? Then there’s nothing on Jupiter to farm for an airdrop. I wouldn’t buy JUP just to farm ASR. You’d take on JUP’s price risk to earn rewards paid in that same token. Swapping on Jupiter is still fine, it just won’t qualify you for anything. Our Jupiter exchange guide covers the fees and order types.

Came here to claim something? Two real claims are still open. Sonic Labs’ S claim shuts on 15 Oct, and our Grass Season 2 guide covers the USDC claim that runs to January 2027. For points programmes still running, see the airdrops hub, and if you’re new to all this, here’s how Solana airdrops work.

Will Jupuary come back?

Only a new DAO vote can release the 700M, and none is scheduled. Since the vote, a community member has asked on Jupiter’s forum for a fresh Jupuary vote. Nobody from the team replied, and the thread closed. If anything changes, it’ll show up on @jup_dao and discuss.jup.ag first, and I’ll update this page.

FAQ

When is the Jupiter airdrop 2026 release date?

There isn’t one. Jupuary 2026 is postponed indefinitely, and any release needs a new DAO vote first.

Is there a Jupiter airdrop round 3?

No. 2026 was meant to be the third Jupuary, and that’s the one the DAO postponed.

Can I still claim Jupuary 2025?

No. That claim ran for three months from January 2025 and closed long ago. A site offering a late Jupuary 2025 claim is a scam too.

Will trading on Jupiter now count toward a future Jupuary?

Nothing confirms that. The only snapshot on record is 30 Jan 2026, and any future drop needs a new vote with its own rules.
