Crypto airdrops offer exciting opportunities worth millions of dollars. They also help spread the ownership and distribution of tokens for a community. Sonic and Jupiter, two of the most popular projects in the Solana ecosystem, are preparing to distribute $SONIC and $JUP among users in January.
So let’s break down how these crypto airdrops could deposit tokens into your wallet.
Sonic’s 7% Supply Airdrop: A TikTok Exclusive
The first is Sonic, a layer-2 gaming network on Solana. This is not to be confused with Fantom’s rebrand to Sonic, which is a Layer 1 chain and a different project. On January 7, Sonic will airdrop 7% of its total token supply (that’s about 168 million $SONIC) to eligible users. However, here’s the twist: the only way to qualify was by engaging with Sonic’s games on TikTok. Yes, you read that right! Sonic integrated its SonicX game directly into TikTok and is now rewarding users who played through the platform.

Out of the 2.4 billion total $SONIC tokens, only 15% will be tradable right after the airdrop. Meanwhile, they have already allocated 8% to early supporters. This isn’t only a gaming network—Sonic has been making waves. Last year, the platform raised $12 million in a Series A funding round. SONIC also partnered with Solana’s staking protocol, Solayer, to accumulate over $50 million staked $SOL.

If you’re one of those TikTok users who got onboard early, congratulations—you’re in for a treat.
Jupiter’s Massive $625M “JUPuary” Airdrop
Next, we have Jupiter, a decentralized exchange aggregator also on Solana, which is kicking off its “JUPuary” airdrop in January. Jupiter plans to distribute 700 million $JUP valued at an impressive $625 million.
So, who’s eligible? Jupiter has made this airdrop activity-based. It will reward users who interact with its trading platform.

For instance:
- 50 JUP tokens for users with more than $800 in trading volume in the lowest tier.
- 20,000 JUP tokens for users who traded over $14 million for the highest of 5 tiers.
Additionally, anyone who tried features like Perps, dollar-cost averaging (DCA), or limit orders will receive extra rewards. This tiered rollout will benefit 2.3 million wallet addresses.
This isn’t the first big airdrop in Solana’s ecosystem lately. Last month alone, the Pudgy Penguins project airdropped more than $1 billion worth of $PENGU tokens. All this proves that Solana is here to support its holders.
