Last night, Jupiter DAO posted on X platform that the Jupuary airdrop claim has been opened (the Jupuary airdrop claim website for the second round of JUP token airdrop is: https://jupuary.jup.ag/). It is reported that the airdrop claim will last for three months (until April 30), and if you are marked as a witch, you can file an appeal after January 27. Users must create a Jupuary personal profile to claim the airdrop.
Jupuary airdrop claim has been opened
As one of the most successful projects in the Solana ecosystem, the first round of Jupiter airdrop has won widespread acclaim, and this time the airdrop of 10 million JUP tokens to 2 million qualified users is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the community. Although the website was overloaded due to the large number of claimants at the first time, the overall community response is positive:
"The delicious pork knuckle meal is here, the addresses that trade frequently in the Solana ecosystem all have it, and I'm already looking forward to the third airdrop."
"You can now bind your email to claim the airdrop, but be sure to choose 'claim only' when claiming, if you accidentally choose to stake, you'll have to wait 30 days to claim."
"I've accumulated 3,400 tokens from several addresses, this will be the capital for my comeback this year, thanks to Jupiter."
"The airdrop is a consolation after the liquidation, I don't have to mess with the off-chain funds for the time being."
......
It can be seen that for most of the users who received the Jupiter airdrop, it is more like a "windfall". Therefore, in addition to continuing to focus on screening high-financing and high-heat pre-release projects and actively participating in interactions, "how to efficiently and at low cost maintain a batch of high-quality accounts" will become a worthwhile research direction for the vast majority of "meme farmers" in 2025. This not only relates to the maximization of airdrop returns, but also involves how to improve the efficiency of time and resource utilization.
Efficiently and at low cost maintain a batch of premium accounts
Putting aside the airdrop, for most retail investors, the current on-chain trading enthusiasm is constantly rising, especially in the Solana ecosystem.According to data compiled by The Block, the TRUMP token craze has driven the use of Solana's decentralized exchanges (DEXs). In January, the trading volume of Solana DEXs reached 268% of Ethereum, compared to only 53% in the same period last year. Solana processed $122 billion in trading volume, while Ethereum was $45 billion.
In addition, data shows that the monthly trading volume of Solana DEXs has exceeded $158 billion this month, breaking the historical record of $140 billion set by BNB Chain in May 2021. Solana is also the first blockchain whose DEX monthly trading volume has exceeded $150 billion, achieving this goal in just 20 days, with 11 days left this month.
In order to obtain more "small to large" opportunities, funds and energy should also be focused on the mainnet, and the on-chain data after the Trump couple chose to issue tokens on the Solana chain clearly shows that the focus should be on the Solana ecosystem. Therefore, while paying attention to the popular token projects on the chain, having the mindset of "efficiently and at low cost maintaining a batch of premium accounts" may double the effect, and the specific strategies are as follows:
First, it is recommended to use multiple wallets to participate in popular on-chain projects. After investing energy and funds into the mainnet, for the popular projects that have been screened and decided to buy, buying in batches through multiple wallets not only can avoid the price being instantly pulled up by a single large-amount operation, but also achieve a similar dollar-cost averaging effect, lowering the overall holding cost. When the price rises, selling in batches can gradually lock in some profits while reducing the risk of "selling out", ensuring the stability of returns.
Secondly, trading volume farming and providing liquidity for popular projects are strategies. Due to the lack of liquidity in most on-chain projects, there are often high slippage in trading, and some projects even set buy and sell taxes. If you rely solely on frequent buying and selling of tokens to farm trading volume, you may incur unnecessary losses due to the high transaction costs. In this case, if you judge that the project you are participating in will not have a unidirectional market in the short term, choosing to build an LP to increase trading volume is a wise choice. In addition, for popular projects, especially in the first few hours after launch, the trading volume is usually far beyond the scale of the liquidity pool. If the price is in a range consolidation at this time, by providing liquidity, not only can the trading volume of the wallet be increased, but also considerable transaction fees can be earned, the details of which can be found in the article: "Meme Profit Strategy: Can't Beat PVP, Try Being a Passive LP to Boost Returns".
Finally, the strategy may seem simple, but persistently maintaining "premium small accounts" is not easy. Whether it's participating in popular projects through multiple wallets or using the LP farming method to boost trading volume, these methods are not complicated to operate, but for most users, the real challenge lies in long-term execution. Especially without customized script support, this process becomes more time-consuming and laborious, requiring not only close tracking of on-chain "money-making" opportunities and choosing the right buying and selling timing, but also repeatedly making small, multiple transactions. But if you can persist in execution, the next "money picking" opportunity like Jupiter airdrop will be yours.
In addition, with a large number of top-tier projects launching TGE in the first quarter of this year, in addition to daily maintenance of a batch of premium accounts, you still need to regularly participate in these high-financing and high-heat pre-release projects. The key is not quantity, but quality. Therefore, Odaily has compiled a list of pre-release projects worth focusing on for everyone, go ahead and interact with the ones you like.
Pre-release projects worth focusing on
