Case Study: Distribution Strategy for 700M $JUP Tokens

[JUPWhale]

Yes exactly, he was quite clear in the latest J.U.P. Really.

@JUPWhale

About Jupuary, Meow made it clear that he wants there to be 2 more rounds of Jupuary, but that in the end it’s the community which decide. The sentiment on the Jupresearch forum seems to be that at least 80% to 90% of people is in support of more Jupuary’s, so we have to continue to talk about the IF of Jupuary, but about the HOW.

Also in my opinion the team and the community can’t afford to cancel round #2 anymore, because the round #2 period from November 2nd 2023 to November 2nd 2024 has already been completed. It’s only the airdrop for all the round 2 activity which is still pending.

You could only cancel any new round, which would be round #3 starting this week and the coming 12 months, without completely betraying all trust of the Jupiter community.

Round #2 has been clearly promised by Meow last year:

@JUPWhale

There have been clear promises for multiple rounds of airdrops, taking place every year during Jupuary (January). You can find several of them in the Grow the Pie update #1 alone: https://www.jupresear.ch/t/archived-grow-the-pie-update-1/.

There will be future rounds of airdrops for new users, so stay tuned for that.

@0xSoju

40% will be allocated to the community over 4 rounds of airdrops. 10% will be allocated in this round, which will be 1B tokens. We expect to start one more round of growth oriented airdrop before token launch.

@0xSoju

de-duplication is not a particular area of concern for us, but will definitely be for future rounds.

We await for a proposal by the team of HOW to do Jupuary, and the community will continue to discuss it and vote on it in the DAO. In the meantime, we can share and discuss any valid arguments (no personal attacks) and any data-based analysis and insights.

At first impression from @D3vpurity his post, Meow doesn’t seem very fond of a vesting idea, but maybe if the solution is simple and an elegant solution like he said, he would be open to consider it.

One more thought about this; instead of doing penalties you can also pose it as a bonus only for staking (eg. 100% instant claim, with a 10 - 25%% bonus for staking. The bonus could come from reducing the allocations from all the different distribution categories.
