Meteora Airdrop Details

Meteora’s general MET airdrop is over. Season 1 distributed 15% of supply at TGE, and the Season 2 LP claim for 20 million MET closed on October 21, 2026.

Season 2 Expert Contributors (educators, builders and contributors) have their own 6 million MET distribution. Log in with X on Meteora Campaigns and link a wallet by December 31, 2026. MET is sent automatically in batches, with no claim needed.

Everyone else can stake MET in Referral Staking for a share of DLMM fees in USDC. From Cycle 4, stakers also need $10 in DLMM fees per cycle. Meteora also has a free DLMM Pro waitlist with no announced rewards.

Latest Update: The Season 2 Expert Contributors checker is live. Link a wallet by December 31, 2026 to receive MET automatically.

How to Check Your Meteora Expert Contributors Allocation

This part is only for people who educated, built or contributed during Season 2 of the LP Stimulus Plan. Regular LPs had until October 21, 2026 to claim, and that window has closed.

Step 1: Log In With X on Meteora Campaigns

Open Meteora Campaigns and log in with the X account you used for your Season 2 posts. The Expert Contributors checker shows whether that account has a MET allocation.

Step 2: Link a Receiving Wallet by December 31

If you have an allocation, link the Solana wallet that should receive your MET before December 31, 2026. There is no claim button. Meteora sends MET to linked wallets automatically in batches, so it may not arrive right away.

How to Earn Meteora Referral Staking Rewards

Step 1: Claim Your Cycle 3 Staking Rewards

If you staked MET during Cycle 3, open the Meteora Referral Staking page, connect and verify the wallet you staked with, and claim your USDC. Cycle 3 rewards are now claimable, and referral rewards from people who used your code show up on the same page.

Step 2: Stake MET for Cycle 4

On the same page, stake MET to join the current cycle. Stakers share 10% of DLMM protocol fees, paid in USDC once per monthly cycle.

Rewards are capped at 0.1 USDC per MET staked per cycle, so a bigger stake raises your ceiling
Unstaking forfeits all pending staking and referral rewards for the current cycle, and the unstaked MET takes 7 days to become withdrawable
You can skip the 7-day wait with an instant unstake, but it costs 10% of the MET you unstake
Staking at least 200 MET unlocks a referral code, which earns 8% of the protocol fees paid by LPs who join with it

Step 3: Earn at Least $10 in DLMM Fees Each Cycle

This is the big change in Cycle 4. Staking MET alone no longer earns rewards. Your wallet also has to earn at least $10 in LP fees from eligible DLMM positions opened during the cycle. Miss the threshold and you lose that cycle’s staking rewards, though your staked MET is not touched.

Open the Meteora app and add liquidity to a DLMM pool quoted in SOL or USDC, such as JUP/SOL or JLP/USDC. Set a price range around the current price so your liquidity stays in active bins and keeps earning.

Only positions opened in the current cycle count, so positions carried over from Cycle 3 will not help
Fees you have not claimed yet still count toward the $10
DLMM limit orders and pools blacklisted by Meteora are excluded
Meteora can change these rules, so check the FAQ on the Referral Staking page for the current terms

Step 4: Join the DLMM Pro Waitlist

Go to the DLMM Pro waitlist page. Under “I am a”, select User if you plan to trade or provide liquidity, or Builder if you represent a token team or want to integrate DLMM Pro.

Step 5: Enter Your Details and Submit

Paste the Solana wallet address you want linked to early access. Using the wallet you LP and stake with keeps your on-chain history in one place. The form only asks for the address, with no wallet connection or signature.

User: An email address is optional. Meteora says it will not link your email to your wallet and will use it only for DLMM Pro updates.
Builder: Name, email and Telegram handle are required. Project name, project X account and a short description are optional, but they help the team review launch requests.

Click “Join the Waitlist” to finish. Submitting the form means you accept Meteora’s privacy policy.

Important Terms

Referral Staking: Meteora’s MET staking program, which pays stakers and referrers a share of DLMM protocol fees in USDC every monthly cycle.

DLMM: Meteora’s bin-based liquidity model, where LPs place liquidity in set price ranges and fees rise during volatility.

DBC (Dynamic Bonding Curve): The launch curve launchpads use to price new tokens before they graduate to a regular pool.

Dynamic Decay Fees: High trading fees at launch that fall to a base rate over a preset period, paying LPs more during early volatility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Still Earn Staking Rewards If I Only Stake MET?

Not from Cycle 4 onward. Stakers also need at least $10 in LP fees from eligible DLMM positions opened during each cycle. Without it, that cycle’s staking rewards are forfeited, while the staked MET itself stays in place.

Can I Unstake My MET Immediately?

Yes, but an instant unstake costs 10% of the MET you unstake. Meteora collects that MET and later uses it to reward the community. A standard unstake has no MET penalty, but you wait 7 days before you can withdraw. Either way, unstaking forfeits all pending staking and referral rewards for the current cycle, and those rewards are redistributed to other stakers and referrers.

How Do I Claim My Cycle 3 Referral Staking Rewards?

Connect the wallet you staked with on the Meteora Referral Staking page and claim the USDC shown there. Cycle 3 was paid under the old rules, so the $10 fee threshold does not apply to it.

Is Referral Staking Part of MET Season 2?

No. MET Season 2 was the LP Stimulus airdrop, and its LP claim has ended. Referral Staking is a separate program that pays USDC to MET stakers each cycle.

Can I Still Claim the Meteora MET Airdrop?

No. The Meteora Season 2 MET claim closed on October 21, 2026 (UTC), and the Season 1 claim closed on April 23, 2026. Meteora treats all past allocations as final. The Season 2 Expert Contributors distribution is separate: educators, builders and contributors can still log in with X on Meteora Campaigns and link a wallet by December 31, 2026.

Is the DLMM Pro Waitlist Free?

Yes. Joining the Meteora DLMM Pro waitlist only requires a Solana wallet address, and builders also share contact details. There is no deposit, wallet connection or transaction fee involved.

Does Joining the DLMM Pro Waitlist Earn MET Rewards?

Meteora has not announced any MET rewards, points or airdrop allocation for DLMM Pro waitlist sign-ups. The waitlist currently provides early access to the product and updates from the Meteora team.

Should I Sign Up as a User or a Builder?

Choose User if you want to trade or provide liquidity on DLMM Pro. Choose Builder if you run a token project and want to launch a market with custom liquidity, opening mechanics or fees. Builder sign-ups ask for name, email and Telegram.

Conclusion

The general MET airdrop is over, and Referral Staking is how Meteora pays most users now. Cycle 4 ties those USDC rewards to real LP activity: stake MET, earn at least $10 in fees from new DLMM positions each cycle, and claim when the cycle closes. If you were a Season 2 Expert Contributor, log in with X on Meteora Campaigns and link your wallet before December 31. The DLMM Pro waitlist takes about a minute on top of that.

What is Meteora?

Meteora is a liquidity protocol on Solana. Its main product is DLMM, a pool design where LPs place liquidity in price bins and earn dynamic fees that rise during volatility. Meteora also runs DAMM v2 pools, Dynamic Vaults and the Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC) that launchpads use to price new tokens. The project grew out of Mercurial Finance before rebranding.

MET is the protocol’s token. Holders can stake it in Referral Staking to earn a share of DLMM protocol fees in USDC, and stakers with at least 200 MET can refer LPs for an extra cut of fees. Meteora’s next product, DLMM Pro, combines DLMM, DAMM v2 and DBC so a token can launch and keep trading in one pool without migrating liquidity.
