Again, this is your opinion… I am entitled to disagree My suggestion is neither arbitrary nor unfair.
Using your example above, a “power user” (also vague), could come and smash the protocol for a few days in the hope of airdrop. My suggestion is that users with isolated activity such as this, shouldn’t be viewed in the same way as someone utilising JUP over the long term (months) and across many different products, community engagement etc. Do you agree with that notion, or can you see why more embedded users are of more value to Jup going forwards and “growing the pie”?
Timeframe around Jup airdrops and snapshots is largely irrelevant in this regard.
@Shrekt this 3 months minimum activity on the wallet doesn’t make sense. That seemingly arbitrarily takes away any new users that started trading on Jupiter for 25% of an entire year. Why?
Many have recently started trading on Jupiter due to the recent surge of memecoins like myself. I recently started trading memecoins, lost a bunch of money, then as crypto started to go into a bull market, I started using the Perps platform because it was convenient.
This is coming from someone that reguarly does trading at the highest tiers on CEX’s like Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance.
Fascinating post OP. You clearly have put in a lot of time in to this, appreciate it. I am certain that the Jupiter Team have read this post and evaluating this feedback and ideas, and the following conversation in the thread.
So just wanted to say thanks for a healthy discussion and interesting thoughts
Of course, which is the entire nature of my comment. Why would you cull all the new users for the past 3 months from an airdrop? As a new user, it makes no sense to me. It would ruin the whole experience I’ve had with Jupiter which has thus far been very pleasent. This argument makes no sense to me other than someone trying to have a bigger airdrop for themselves.
Jupiter is just like any other business. There are so many options and just like the real world, if you have pleasent experiences you stick with and do business with the company. If you have had a bad experience, you move elsewhere.
