It’s a field note for people who want to act fast, avoid mistakes, and squeeze more signal out of Meteora’s TGE flow!

• TGE date: Oct 23, 2025. Claims open the same day on the official Meteora TGE page.

• Default outcome: if you didn’t register for the switch, you’ll claim MET token.

• LP NFT: the switch window closed Oct 19, 23:00 (UTC+8). If you opted in (or were a JUP staker), that portion turns into a Liquidity Distributor NFT at TGE.

• Fees: keep ~0.02 SOL ready for transaction + token account creation.

• Launch pool: initial price $0.50, 100M MET in pool, ~48% circulating at launch.

This article is for: (a) people deciding what to do at TGE and (b) anyone who wants a clean checklist and fewer tabs open.

Think of two buckets you could end up with at TGE:

1. MET tokens — straightforward, liquid, easy to move.

2. LP NFT — a receipt representing your share of the launch liquidity pool that earns swap fees from minute one.

If your plan is to trade quickly or use MET in strategies that require a fungible token, MET is simpler. If you want fee accrual and are okay with pool exposure (price changes + impermanent loss style effects baked into the pool math), the LP NFT path is the point.

Important: The registration to switch into LP NFT is already closed. JUP staker allocations auto‑switch.

• Open the official Meteora TGE page and check your allocation cards (Points / Medals / Ecosystem buckets).

• Confirm which wallet actually holds the allocation. If you used multiple wallets in the past, check each one now, not during launch traffic.

• Top up ~0.02 SOL. Some wallets need to create the MET token account on first receive.

• Visit the Meteora Airdrop Claim portal → Claim.

• Approve the transaction, wait for confirmation, save the TX signature.

• Verify on Solscan that MET token (or your LP NFT) landed.

• Tokens visible in wallet → good.

• LP NFT holders: verify the item in your NFT tab and note that fee accrual follows pool rules from launch.

• You need near‑term liquidity or plan to move quickly into other strategies.

• You dislike the idea of your exposure sitting inside a pool.

• You prefer fee accrual from launch and are fine with pool dynamics.

• You already planned to provide liquidity; this wraps it neatly.

One‑way rule: If you registered to switch, that part is locked to LP NFT at TGE. You don’t flip it back to MET at claim.

Pre‑market chatter put MET at hefty FDV ranges in mid‑October. Treat that as noise unless your plan specifically farms volatility. What you can control: clean execution, correct wallet, enough SOL, and a short checklist.

• “Allocation shows 0.” Wrong wallet or network. Check Solana mainnet, reconnect, try another browser, or test a clean profile. If you used multiple wallets historically, review each.

• “Claim button missing.” You’re early. Claims show on TGE day. If it’s already TGE, hard refresh and reconnect.

• “Insufficient SOL / token account issues.” Add ~0.02 SOL, retry.

• “TX stuck / failed.” Wait ~1 minute; resubmit once. Save the signature and confirm on Solscan.

• “LP NFT confusion.” No registration = default MET. Registration or JUP stake = LP NFT for that portion.

Oct 23, 2025. Claims open the same day on the official page.

On the Meteora TGE page — Allocation. Connect a Solana wallet.

MET. LP NFT required prior registration; JUP staker allocations auto‑LP NFT.

Hold ~0.02 SOL to be safe.

Initial price $0.50, 100M MET in the pool, roughly 48% circulating at launch.

It will be posted only via official channels near TGE. Don’t use anything else.
