Solana Airdrop Checklists & DeFi Strategies
Strategies to earn yield and qualify for airdrops on Solana
Updated August 2024
Jupiter
Yield and Potential Airdrop
Dex aggregator and perps trading platform. They’ve allocated 40% of the token supply to the community, to be dispersed over 4 rounds of airdrops. In January, Jupiter launched the first airdrop - 1B JUP tokens. More will be coming over the next several years.
Swap on Jupiter (use for all swaps)
Use the Jupiter bridge aggregator
Trade perps on Jupiter
Stake the JUP token and vote on proposals (this provides access to ongoing airdrops of JUP and other tokens)
Hold JLP, the liquidity provider token for Jupiter Perps
There may be an airdrop for JLP holders
JLP is a basket of majors & stables and earns 30-100% APY from perp trader losses and trading fees. One of the best holds in all of DeFi right now.
SoLayer
Potential Airdrop
Restaking protocol on Solana.
Use code JPV3J2 to enter

Meteora
Yield and Potential Airdrop
Liquidity hub on Solana. Meteora has a points program, but it’s invisible to users.
Add liquidity to a pool with good volume and solid TVL.
I like pools with over $1M in TVL
Liquidity earns 1 point per $1 of TVL
Provide liquidity with tokens you want to hold, not just tokens that have a high APR.
Here’s a helpful guide on how to effectively use Meteora; everything you need to know.
Rain.fi
Potential Airdrop
Peer-to-peer lending protocol that lets anyone create their own lending pool.
Rain.fi has a points program called Droplets and here’s how you can earn them:
Lend or borrow tokens
Use Rain.fi’s “Buy Now Pay Later” feature to acquire NFTs
Use NFTs as collateral to borrow funds
Margin Swap
NX Finance
Yield and Potential Airdrop
Composable leverage protocol & yield aggregator on Solana.
