I like it, I thought it was a bit hard for farmers in 2025, it’s much better.
Come on, man, you’re just protecting your own interests because you got into the project earlier than others.
It’s obvious that the launch of Trump and Melania, which led to the growth of Meteora as a protocol, would have happened regardless of your so-called “genuine early support.”
What’s truly unfair is giving the majority of the allocation to 2024 users just because they farmed a few hundred dollars in fees earlier, while the real growth happened in 2025 after two major launches. The amount of fees has multiplied since then and will continue to grow until the TGE, further diluting the share of new participants.
And that’s not even mentioning the 5% protocol fee, which many people have already brought up above.
If we’re talking about me specifically, I joined Meteora after the Trump and Melania launch and have been providing liquidity every day, using large sizes and already earning $40K in fees. But of course, I’m less valuable than a “genuine early supporter” because he provided $200 in liquidity A WHOLE YEAR AGO.
Never mind, just messing around.

Unfair allocation & Sybil exploitation are linked. Literally you answering your own data. Number of new users went up because of the sybils farmors and those who came attracted by Trump and Melania and Libra. Clearly the number doesnt reflect the reality if we filter out the sybils. See the number of 1-1000$ fees made, it looks like are aiming at the minimum threshold for each account to get in a potential tiered system.

Disproportionate rewards: I don’t join you on that point, how can you say 2023-2024 ppl didnt contribute to Meteora and only those who came for 2 months did the job. The new users literally joined in the middle of the bullrun, the easiest time where there is no risk at all since the whole market was pumping, every meme was pumping, on discord ppl from 2024 were proudly saying they made more in 2025 than in 2023-2024 cumulated because it was the easiest time ever to make money with Meteora.
-
Market manipulation: This system would help those from 2025 who just joined to farm Meteora with multiple accounts yep I agree, that’s why it should end as soon as possible so it can start a S2 with clear rules/new system.
-
LP Army influence: So the LP Army “[… ]their ability to manipulate the market”. They what ? They are literally users who are committed to the protocol and not hunters.
-
Contributions from later users: This is for the future treasury of Meteora. No fees=no future.
-
In what world you are using this argument to increase the allocation for 2025 ?
-
2% token allocation: So this went from the original 10% for the 2024 users, to then be for all users from 2023-2025 to then only keeping for yourself, you who joined a month ago ?
Conclusion:
You are claiming early users didn’t contribute at all, the LP army manipulates the market, the 2025 users did everything and should get rewarded for the 2 months they spent on Meteora where they extracted maximum value in the shortest frame time in a Bull market when the whole market was pumping and was the easiest time ever to make fees.
I see your points and I totally disagree with all of them.
I think we all clearly know your intentions Simon who just joined 2 months ago and the reasons. I’m sure the team will see that OG users are more important and loyal than the new hunters who just joined.

Congrats for joining when it was the most spam on all social network and was chosen to be the liquidity provider for many big tokens in the middle of the Bullrun. Was a difficult time heh, watching all coins pumping to 1B mcap, yeah tough times tough times.
So I’m asking, who’s more valuable and more likely to be a long-term user, the guy who’s been staying since 2023 in the bear and the bull market, providing liquidity for years, or the guy who just joined a month ago when everything was green and the index of greed was at 90/100 ?
Tell me
Read properly my OG friend, me joined AFTER all hype launches firstly, and I’m speaking about unfair proportions for those who made thousands of fees in 2025 against OG users with a few transactions, who are pretending to get the whole allo just because they were earlier.
@soju please take a look at my posted topic: Meteora Must Acknowledge and Value Original MER Stakeholders
The points system must be the key. Otherwise, if there were 121,000 wallets in the 2023-2024 period and 8% is distributed, the airdrop will be ridiculous. In fact, a minimum threshold of generated fees or points should be set, which is correlated with the risk assumed at the time.
This isn’t just about whales, but about investors who risk their money and provide liquidity to more volatile projects, contributing to the growth and commission generation on the Meteora platform.
Although modifications may be made to satisfy everyone, the core principle that priority should be given to 2024 activity, as was originally planned, and the points system must be respected so that the airdrop is received in proportion to the user/investor’s contribution to the Meteora system.

2025 people are getting screwed with this proposal especially when TGE is delayed
Since Trump’s many people have come to Meteora.
@soju you can something like this:
2025
5% Linear from January
+1% Tier each month cap to 5% for the next 5 months.
This would make people to keep using your platform, bring more users and everyone would be happy.
How can you say that latecomers who joined after 2025 took on more financial risk, when literally every meme coin was pumping and Solana liquidity was at its peak?
Many of the so-called “degens” who entered after 2025 naturally saw their portfolios pump harder than in 2024, and yes — fees and volume increased overall. But that happened because Meteora finally gained wider recognition as a real trading strategy. And let’s be honest — it was the strategies, liquidity, and foundational knowledge established by early users (including the LP Army) that enabled these newcomers to profit in the first place.
So I want to ask: What exactly do you mean by “real contribution”?
Is it just about generating more fees or volume? Because if that’s your definition, then it’s not a “contribution” by latecomers — it’s simply the result of a bull market and people following strategies already proven by earlier participants. The volume didn’t grow because you joined — it grew because the market was hot, and people saw early LPs making money and jumped in.
Latecomers benefited from the groundwork laid by earlier users. Claiming that they made more “real contributions” just because they showed up during the easiest time to farm fees is simply misleading.

Very good changes, but what about whale users who only provided liquidity for one or two pairs, racked up lots of fees, and then moved to another wallet?
Many whales/farmers are doing exactly this—hitting $10K–100K in fees and then moving on to another wallet.
Real users should have at least 5–10 pairs per wallet. I have close to 100 pairs…
I think you should apply heavy filtering and make sure only wallets that have been active for at least a month and provided liquidity to multiple pairs are eligible. Otherwise, only whale farmers will benefit.

Agreed 100%. Wallets that only have 1-3 pairs and generated a lot of fees should not be eligible.

What you guys saying makes 0 sense.
If airdrop is Linear doesn’t matter if they have several wallets hitting $10k-100k In fees. This is only a problem if they decide to do Tier system.

Are there any rules against switching wallets? As long as users aren’t maliciously creating and trading their own tokens, even if a wallet only has one pair, they are legitimate users if they generate fees - they take risks and pay protocol fees, no different from others. The situation you described is easily resolved by making the distribution linear - if the fees are the same, it doesn’t matter whether they come from multiple wallets or a single wallet.

I agree this is a huge problem. All wallets that have generated $100k+ in fees should be required to KYC with a discord and a twitter. There is no way to be this deep in $100K deep in the trenches without some community visibility.
I personally ran roughshot on the SHARKY airdrop by getting to $100K in fees and on to the next wallet. There is no doubt in my mind that Meteora wizards are more sophisticated and are doing the same thing with dozens and dozens of wallets over the past few years.
If you blindly give $100K fee tier allocations to everyone this will be a disaster, it will result in this very savvy community outgunning the desire for this to be a community airdrop.
I’ve said this before but the Meteora ecosystem has drawn in a lot of bad actors. Now is the moment to set the record straight and make sure that the tokens aren’t given to my wife, family, other fraudster/grift aliases (its easy to manipulate these systems).
It was apparent that Ben wasn’t doing any cluster analysis on the snipers of M3M3 launches.
If the same brand of negligence is applied to this Meteora airdrop, it will lead to the same problem of all the tokens in the hands of a concentrated set of wallets (bad result). Even worse, if there isn’t proper cluster analysis they will be the individuals that criminally conspired to abuse Meteora (very bad result).
Again. Please just announce the snapshot because this problem is getting worse by the day, with the same people farming more and more wallets. Anyone who was farming in 2024 has now added a second 2025 wallet in light of the direction this thread/airdrop is headed. 1 OG drop, 1 2025 drop
KYC from “Indian guys” cost around 6$. People who have earned $100k+ probably have enough money to buy extra discord and twitter accounts also.
KYC & Discord & Twitter varification inlfuens on sybil accounts wich have around 100$ fees per account.
It seems to me that a reasonable idea - how to protect meteors from whales - looks something like this: you need to allow some of their tokens to be withdrawn piece by piece over several months. It may be worth conducting strict verification through people from LP Army, they will call people periodically who have certain accounts with a large amount of fees.
To get this right it will require a “human touch”. I think it’s virtually impossible to get to $100K in fees without ever making a comment or asking a question in the discord. I don’t know what technology exists around these crosschecks of 2024 traders and tying it to discord activity, but people in this category should get a 10% allocation. As the kids say, this is “sus” to master DLMMs (a new technology) in complete anonymity.
Again: Meteora users who are capable of racking up fees to the tune of $100K+ are some of the most sophisticated and forward thinking traders in the space. They know that you run an account to $100K in fees an then start the next wallet.
I hope that analytics bears all this out, but the trader base that uses Meteora are all savvy, all have multiple wallets, and are all trying to gain an advantage as it relates to this airdrop.
I think Mischief and Fraud are the biggest two challenges to Meteora in light of the litigious direction things might be headed. Meteora needs to error to the side of caution, the more the airdrop encourages the community members to lay their cards on the table as an upstanding community member, the more wholesome and rewarding the result.
The sooner the word snapshot is announced, the easier it will be to analyze all of the data without this only getting more complicated.
My main interest in this matter is that I hold a lot of JUP. I want Meteora to be restored as the crown jewel of the Jupiter portfolio. Given the recent abuses of the platform, it is of utmost importance to the reputation of Meteora this airdrop not appear to be manipulated by insider wallets that are later clustered by ZachXBT to all be related in one way or another.
Maybe these are a few Goose DAO members working in concert that have been able to read the tea leaves on the mechanics of the airdrop for a massive amount of capture, maybe these are anonymous people that can cover their tracks. There is a lot at risk if the team is tricked into a high concentration drop situation.
Would 6 months be too strict? Personally, I think 3-5 months would be more suitable.
It’s not an issue. Make it Linear, boom no issue.
Sybil farmors ? Linear, boom no issue.
Family wallet ? Linear, boom no issue.
I’m pretty sure as long as the sybils and family wallets arent getting a tiers system, we would get enough.
The M3m3 airdrop had a threshold around the 1M points minimum to be eligible.
Knowing that I’m sure all sybils wallets aimed for at least that minimum.
How about making it to like 5M minimum. 10M would be nice as well considering the chart showing the hundred of thousands of users below 1M and 10M tho but maybe too strong.
5M would be a good number I think.

Nice proposal. I was wondering if win rate of our positions is going to do any effect? User A Can make 1M points with actual profit and other can end up making 1M points but actually losing money. Is this gonna matter?
