Price performance of some tokens after TGE; Source: Stacy Muur
Jito（JTO）
Airdrop: 10% of the total supply of 1 billion (100 million)
Current circulation: 121,958,742 tokens
Price performance since launch: Up 149% from $1.49
High ROI (most stakers are eligible to receive 4,900+ tokens)
Airdrop method:
80% is allocated to jitoSOL stakers ---> A higher proportion is allocated to SOL stakers
Since the airdrop qualification criteria favors low SOL stakers, it is more likely to be a Sybil
TVL and metrics grow healthily
Athena Labs（ENA）
Airdrop: 5% (total supply is 15 billion, 750 million airdropped)
Current Circulation: 1,479,139,274 tokens
Price performance since launch: Up 73% from $0.52
DeFi users have extremely high returns on investment
Airdrop Method
5% of the total supply will be airdropped, and the top 2,000 users and Pendle's YT token holders will initially unlock 50%, and the remaining 50% will be unlocked linearly over 6 months. 3% of the total airdrop, accounting for 0.15% of the total token supply, will be distributed to SchizoPosters and Redacted Remilio Babies series NFT holders.
Highly consistent with protocol indicators --> TVL reached a new high of 2.7 billion during the S2 event
DeFi-favoring airdrops boost sUSDE adoption
friend.tech（FRIEND）
Airdrop: The current total supply is 93,884,904, 100% of which will be airdropped to the community
It has fallen 64% since its launch at $3.08
The overall return on investment is low for key holders and buyers
Airdrop Method
Airdrop all tokens to community members and launch V2 and Club at the same time
Users can claim the remaining airdrops by joining the Club, etc.
Price discovery is average
Jupiter（JUP）
Airdrop: 1.35 billion (13.5% of total supply of 10 billion)
Price performance since launch: Up 51% from $0.66 USD
For most users of the platform, the return on investment is moderate
Overall, JUP’s airdrops were in line with the key metric that the project is most concerned about (trading volume). With strong partnerships and products such as jupSOL and launchpad, JUP has been a huge success overall.
