All right, I'm back with another dose of crypto airdrop alpha so let's jump into a bunch of things that are claimable today. I'm going to start in the Solana ecosystem with the Upro token. So, if you stake Jupiter tokens and voted with them, then you can go and claim a portion of the UPT airdrop from the Jupiter LFG Launchpad. Now, this token launched yesterday and the price per token is hovering at around 9 cents right now. But this is just one source of the token and if you were actually farming UCK using their application, then some of those tokens will be unlocked to you as well. Now you can't actually withdraw the full amount but if you go to your wallet and click Send, then it will prompt you to enable two-factor authentication and you'll be able to withdraw up to 1,000 UPT tokens per day. So overall, I would say not bad considering that any allocations from staking JUP tokens is just an extra yield on top of staking the J tokens and then you can actually collect your tokens from farming it as well.
Another airdrop that is claimable today is for Intent X, the DEEX that's live on Mantle and Blast. So you can claim your allocation for this if you traded on the platform and earn points if you completed their Galaxy Quest to get those NFTs. There's an allocation of 250 tokens for that. But when you claim your tokens, it's actually going to come in the form of XTX, which is like a staked version of the token, and then there's a vested portion as well. So if you want to actually cash out of your tokens, you need to go then to the staking application where you can unstake your position. So if you want to do that, you can do so and there's liquidity to swap this on the Merchant Mode DEX. However, if you want to keep your Intent X tokens staked, there are rewards for doing that. And then also if you keep them staked for 60 days post-launch, then you will actually get an additional significant bonus depending on the amount of people that keep their state. So, there's 1 million extra tokens that are going to be allocated only to people that don't unstake and sell for the first 60 days. So up to you how you want to play this, but honestly overall, given the price of the Intent X token and the size of the allocation that you got for actually completing their Galaxy quests and if you traded on the platform then you earned more points for that, I would say that this was actually a pretty fair and reasonable airdrop.
Now let's move to the third token that is claimable right now that I would say is an unreasonable airdrop and this one was from Aperture Finance. So right now, for starters, you can claim your tokens if you go to the dashboard and you see all zeros like this, then just clear your cache on the browser, refresh and try again. You should be able to claim your tokens. But the three main issues with the Aperture Finance drop are, for starters, none of the normal regular users were able to claim until a couple of hours post-launch. There was some technical difficulties and so people weren't able to claim until the price had already dumped significantly. The second major issue of this is that the Aperture Finance team completely locked down the Discord during this and wasn't providing any ongoing communications about it. So definitely not a good look. And then the third issue is that, honestly, the allocations just don't make sense. I'm not even sure if the math is adding up on this one. And I don't have the statistics right in front of me in terms of the total number of points farmed and the total number of tokens given out. But basically, even people that were in the top upper echelons of this airdrop got at max a couple hundred when many people were expecting at least four figures if not more. So Aperture Finance definitely a major letdown of a drop.
