Jupuary 2025: What Could the Next Jupiter Airdrop Look Like?
Potential Jupuary 2025 Eligibility Criteria
Speaking with JUP & JUICE, Soju credited Jupiter DAO’s creativity, stating “there are a lot of wonderful proposals about Jupuary on JupResearch”. While the Jupiter team ultimately calls the shots, JupResearch proposals could be used to inspire certain eligibility criteria.
The most popular proposals on JupResearch, a Jupiter DAO forum, typically allocate various amounts of tokens to Jupiter products.
One proposal by JUPWhale suggests splitting the 700M scheduled for distribution based on trading volume, $JUP staking, $JLP holdership, DCA/Limit Order use, and perpetual trading volume.
Jupuary Proposals Likely to Favor $JUP Stakers
If any aspects of Jupuary eligibility criteria are to be voted on by Jupiter DAO, it is likely that results will heavily favor $JUP stakers.
As noted by JUPWhale on JupResearch, proposals on eligibility criteria present a conflict of interest wherein $JUP stakers will vote for whatever gives them the best allocation, regardless of whether or not that benefits the protocol.
According to Flipside data, 12.95% of Jupiter voting power is held in 50 wallets, representing only 0.008% of the total number of stakers. This suggests that a relatively small group of holders wield considerable influence over an ecosystem with hundreds of thousands of users.
