In this article, we are going to look at all the claims of the most interesting crypto airdrops of the past week, with a focus on the Jupiter and Orbiter Finance projects.
Let’s then take a look at the upcoming opportunities and the interactions that need to be carried out in order to qualify for the subsequent distributions.
It is essential to stay updated on these opportunities to maximize your earnings and avoid missing the chance to claim free tokens.
Let’s see all the details below.
Jupiter announces the Jupuary airdrop 2025: $575 million allocated in crypto
Without a shadow of a doubt, the claim of the most important crypto airdrop of the last week is that of Jupiter, a leading decentralized platform of the Solana ecosystem.
The DEX aggregator, known for having already completed a first round in 2024, released on Wednesday, January 22, another 700 million JUP tokens to its community.
The event, known as the “Jupuary” airdrop, involved 2 million users including traders, contributors, and partners of the cryptographic infrastructure.
In total, tokens equivalent to 575 million dollars were offered, marking a significant milestone in Jupiter’s growth journey.
All those who have interacted with the dApp in recent months, with snapshots from November 3, 2023, to November 2, 2024, can now claim the reward.
In particular, all addresses that during the indicated period have used Jupiter’s Swap and Perpetuals products, and/or have staked their JUP, are eligible.
Seated at the winners’ table are also those who have participated in the governance or the “Carrots” members who have supported the values of the platform.
The airdrop allocation ranges from a minimum of 25 JUP up to a maximum of 300,000 JUP for the most experienced traders.
On X, the project team reminded that there are 3 months to make the claim, and that users marked as sybil can appeal after January 27. To redeem the airdrop, users must necessarily create their own Jupuary profile through the official claim link.
To celebrate the launch, contributors Kash Dhanda and Mei hosted the special event J.U.P Rally, welcoming participants to the “Jupiverse”.
In parallel with the second round airdrop, Jupiter also announced a significant burn of 30% of the JUP supply, in an attempt to support the price of its asset.
At the time of writing the article, the price of JUP is 0.84 dollars, with a market capitalization of 1.43 billion dollars.

The second most interesting claim of the week for the crypto airdrop sector is that of Orbiter Finance, a decentralized cross-chain bridge platform.
The protocol carried out the long-awaited launch of its own governance token OBT on January 20, during the day of the inauguration of Donald Trump.
In this phase, Orbiter has distributed to its community approximately 616 million OBT, equal to 22% of the circulating supply, for a countervalue of 8.6 million dollars.
Overall, the TGE involved 2.8 billion tokens, which is 28% of the total supply of 10 billion, valued at 39 million dollars.
All those users who have interacted with Orbiter for at least two different months between December 2021 and January 2025, recording a minimum of 40 OPoints, are eligible.
With OBT, which debuted on the blockchains of Base and Arbitrum, the project aims to decentralize its governance structure by offering decision-making power to its community.
After the airdrop, Orbiter plans to launch a staking mechanism to incentivize OBT holders, with timing by the second quarter of 2024.
At the moment, the token of the bridging platform is worth 0.013 dollars, with a valuation that has made the airdrop farmers wrinkle their noses.
The reward was significantly below expectations: many users complained about not even covering the interaction fees with the proceeds from the airdrop.

Among the most noteworthy, we find those of Plume Network, Quai, Nillion, Solana Idenity, Derive, Nodepay, SolvProtocol, SonicSVM, Artelam Viction and Yellow.

Other cryptocurrency airdrops not to miss
On the horizon, we still see several projects having to launch their own native token, offering their users the opportunity to earn an airdrop as an incentive for usage.
Soneium: possible crypto airdrop to farm in the coming months
Probably the most important of all at this moment is Soneium, Ethereum’s layer-2 recently launched on mainnet by Sony.
The interactions to make at this moment on Soneium are the bridging of assets on the blockchain and the use of funds on various dApps of the ecosystem.
In particular, you can bridge through the SuperBridge of Optimism or via other external bridges like Gas.zip and Relay.
Then the subsequent operations can be carried out on applications such as Sonova, Kyo Finance, Sone.fi, Neemo, Macaron, Sake, and Thirdweb.
It is important at this stage to make as many swaps as possible, add LP liquidity to the pools, and trade NFTs.
Scroll Season 2
“`Another airdrop that can be easily cultivated is that of Season 2 of Scroll.
This distribution might be greatly underestimated by the crypto community, given the negative sentiment from the first disastrous rewards campaign.
Consider that currently the TVL is 5 times lower compared to the pre-launch period of the SCR token of Season 1. In the next season, there will be the same share of supply that will be airdropped (5%), but with far fewer people to share the pie.
If the price of SCR does not lose many points, or even gains ground, the second airdrop of Scroll could offer unexpected gains to the farmers.
To accumulate marks points, which will then be converted into tokens, you just need to hold assets on the blockchain and provide liquidity to the various protocols (boost from 1x to 6x).
The session 2 has just been announced by the platform team.

Even 2025 could be a very interesting year on the airdrop front: as always, the more on-chain interactions are carried out, the higher the chances of earning nice rewards from these activities will be.
