Meteora Airdrop Overview

Meteora is a leading liquidity infrastructure protocol on Solana, specializing in Dynamic Liquidity Market Makers (DLMM) for optimized DeFi trading, pools, and yield farming. Their native token, $MET, powers governance, incentives, and liquidity rewards. The airdrop is one of Solana’s most anticipated events of 2025, rewarding early liquidity providers (LPs), traders, and community contributors who’ve helped bootstrap the ecosystem since late 2023.

The program stems from Meteora’s “LP Stimulus Plan,” a points-based system launched in December 2023. Season 1 (ending June 30, 2025) focused on broad participation, while Season 2 (ongoing) emphasizes high-volume markets and active management. Total airdrop allocation: ~12% of $MET supply (10% for core users/LPs + 2% for memecoin stimulus). With a total supply of 1 billion $MET, initial circulating supply at TGE is ~480 million tokens.

Pre-market trading on platforms like Hyperliquid shows $MET at ~$1.10, implying potential multi-million-dollar payouts for top farmers (e.g., some users reporting 10k+ $MET, or ~$11k value).

Key Dates

• Checker Launch: October 16, 2025 (20:00 UTC+8 / 12:00 UTC) – Live now for viewing allocations.
• Liquidity Distributor NFT Opt-In Deadline: October 19, 2025 (3:00 PM UTC) – First-come, first-served (FCFS) for 7% of the airdrop as an LP position (instead of direct tokens).
• TGE & Claim Start: October 23, 2025 (time TBD) – Full unlock at launch, no vesting.
• Claim Deadline: April 26, 2026 (6 months post-TGE).

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility is based on on-chain activity from the snapshot (June 30, 2025 for Season 1, with retroactive 2024/2025 data). Points were earned via:

• Trading Fees: 1,000 points per $1 in fees generated (as LP or trader).
• TVL Contribution: 1 point per $1 of daily Total Value Locked (TVL) in DLMM/DAMM pools.
• Other Boosts: Early DLMM beta testers, community contributions (e.g., via Discord/X), and integrations with platforms like Jupiter/Raydium.

Targeted groups:

• Early LPs and DLMM pool suppliers.
• Active traders on Meteora-integrated DEXs (e.g., Jupiter stakers earning ~4-5 $MET each).
• Memecoin liquidity providers (2% pool).
• Broader Solana DeFi users (e.g., via LSTs like JitoSOL).

Not all addresses qualify – thresholds apply (e.g., minimum points/TVL). Blacklists for sybils/spam are enforced, with appeals open until TGE. Even “Solana OGs” with light activity may qualify if they’ve interacted.

How the Checker Works

The official MET Allocation Checker (launched October 16, 2025) lets you view your full breakdown without claiming. It’s integrated into tools like Jupiter Portfolio and Mobile for easy scanning.

Steps to Check:

1. Visit the official checker: https://met.meteora.ag (avoid fakes – only this domain).
2. Connect your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom) – sign a message (no seed phrase/KYC needed).
3. Dashboard shows:

• Total $MET allocation.
• Breakdown by category (e.g., LP fees, TVL, community).
• Season 1 points totals (refreshes monthly).

4. Opt-In for Liquidity Position (Optional, 7% Pool): If eligible, select this FCFS option before October 19 (3 PM UTC). It converts your tokens into a Meteora LP position for ongoing yields (instead of direct $MET). Highly recommended for long-term holders, as it auto-compounds fees – but spots are limited and filling fast.
5. If no opt-in, you’ll get standard $MET tokens on claim day.

Pro Tips:

• Use Jupiter Mobile/Portfolio for multi-wallet scans: Import wallets to see banners for eligibility.
• Gas fees: Minimal SOL (~0.001 SOL) for signing/claiming.
• Security: Beware scams – no upfront payments or fake links. Official updates via @MeteoraAG on X or Discord.
• Track in Season 2: Add liquidity to high-volume pools now for future rewards (multipliers up to x2 for active adjustments).

Claim Process (Post-TGE)

1. Return to claim.meteora.ag after October 23.
2. Connect wallet and confirm (gas fees only).
3. Tokens auto-distribute; trade on DEXs like Jupiter or CEX listings (rumored Binance/KuCoin).

Community buzz is high – users like @FabianoSolana report 6-figure potential, and mindshare spiked 194% post-launch. If you’re ineligible, farm Season 2: Focus on volatile pairs for max fees. Stay tuned for TGE announcements – this could rival Jupiter’s drop in scale. DYOR and happy farming! 🚀
