Yes we should have 3 more rounds of airdrops.
This has been announced by the founder and CEO of Jupiter. It would destroy the reputation of Jupiter to cancel the airdrop after having promised it.
Millions of new users who missed round 1 have been trading all of last year since November 2023, hoping they can be eligible for the airdrop in round 2.
I am convinced that the airdrops are clearly net positive and moreover necessary to accomplish growth. If you look at the growth of any cryptocurrency ecosystem like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana etc or even looking at established memecoins like Wif, Bonk and Popcat, it has gone through similar cycles of volatility characterised by earlier holders selling and the supply being distributed to a greater number of smaller holders.
Not having another (inclusive and growth oriented) Jupuary would greatly limit the progress of JUP to a single year of distribution instead of 4 years. We would fail to capitalise on the 9.5X volume growth and 16X user growth, converting this into more holders and traders for JUP and further cementing the JUP and Jupiter ecosystem. Any good project like Jupiter deserves to keep growing and scaling, and we can’t do that without it’s actual users.
The achievements can become much greater as we scale further through following up on the plans and further advancing the JUP distribution and decentralisation. Jupuary can help further increase the market cap, holder count, trading volume and CMC ranking, bringing JUP and Jupiter to the next level.
The JUP airdrops bring huge (social) media attention to Jupiter and provide (potential) users with an extra incentive to use Jupiter instead of other platforms.
