How to Participate in the Meteora Airdrop

Step 1: Visit the Meteora Campaigns Page

Go to the Meteora Campaigns page, where Season 2 claims are hosted. Check the URL before you connect; our safety guide lists what to look for.

Step 2: Connect the Wallets You Used for Liquidity

Connect each Solana wallet that held DLMM or DAMM v2 positions between July 2025 and June 2026. Include old wallets: any position that kept earning fees after the Season 1 snapshot was collecting Season 2 points.

Step 3: Claim Your MET Before October 21

Review your allocation and confirm the claim transaction, which needs a little SOL for the network fee. You can stake the MET straight into the Referral Staking Program from the claim flow. Claims close on October 21, 2026 (UTC).

Step 4: Stake MET in the Referral Staking Program

Open the Referral Staking page and stake at least 200 MET. Stakers share 10% of DLMM protocol fees, paid in USDC per monthly cycle and weighted by how much you stake and for how long.

If your allocation is below 200 MET, you can get SOL or USDC from Bybit, or move funds to Solana and swap them with the widget below.

Step 5: Link a Referral Code

Enter a referral code on the same page to become a Referred User. You then earn 2% of the protocol fees taken from your own eligible positions, on top of your normal LP fees.

Step 6: Provide Liquidity in Eligible DLMM Pools

Open the Meteora app and add liquidity to a DLMM pool that uses SOL or USDC as the quote token, such as JUP/SOL or JLP/USDC. These do not earn program rewards:

• DLMM limit orders
• DAMM v2 pools
• Pools blacklisted by Meteora, for example for wash trading

Step 7: Create Your Own Referral Code

Generate a code on the Referral Staking page once you have 200 MET staked. Referrers earn up to 8% of the protocol fees their referred LPs generate, limited to 80% of their Earnings Cap.

Step 8: Claim USDC Rewards After Each Cycle

Return to the Referral Staking page when a cycle’s rewards are finalized. Cycle 1 ran from July 21 to August 21, became claimable on September 10, and stays claimable until March 31, 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Does the Meteora Airdrop Claim End?

The Meteora Season 2 claim is open until October 21, 2026 (UTC) on the Meteora Campaigns page. The Season 1 claim, which opened with the MET token launch on October 23, 2025, closed on April 23, 2026.

Is the Meteora Airdrop Free?

Claiming MET costs only a Solana network fee. Earning it was different: points came from trading fees on liquidity you provided, so capital was at risk. Joining the Referral Staking Program today requires at least 200 MET staked.

How Was My Season 2 MET Allocation Calculated?

Meteora divided 20 million MET pro-rata by points. Your share equals your points divided by total points, multiplied by the Season 2 pool. Standard DLMM and DAMM v2 pools earned 1,000 points per $1 in fees, and wallets needed 100,000 points and at least 10 MET to qualify.

What Happens If I Missed Season 2?

Season 2 ended on June 30, 2026 and you cannot qualify for it afterwards. You can still earn on Meteora by staking MET, linking a referral code and providing liquidity in eligible DLMM pools, with rewards paid in USDC instead of points.

Will There Be Another Meteora Airdrop?

Meteora has said Season 2 was the last season of its points system, and no further MET airdrop has been announced. The team’s stated focus is the Referral Staking Program and Meteora Campaigns.

How Much Does Meteora Referral Staking Pay?

Payouts depend on DLMM trading fees in each cycle. Meteora reported $262,000 in USDC paid to 3,977 wallets for Cycle 1, with about 71% going to stakers. Referral rewards are capped at 0.1 USDC per MET staked per cycle.

Conclusion

Season 2 MET can be claimed until October 21, 2026, so check every wallet that earned DLMM or DAMM v2 fees in the past year. Our claims page lists other open deadlines.
