Decentralized trading aggregator Jupiter plans to airdrop its JUP token toward the end of January, Jupiter pseudonymous founder said.

The JUP token airdrop may test the longevity of the altcoin frenzy.

The program routes token buy and sell orders through a litany of other on-chain trading venues to find the best price.
The distribution will be a stress test for JUP trading infrastructure as well as the Solana network itself, Meow said.
