Jupiter JUP Airdrop: Balanced Proposal for Jupuary 2025

[JUPWhale]

Look friend, morally and logically speaking I might agree with you. But there is something else we need to consider, and that’s the politics.

@JUPWhale

The Jupiter community needs Jupuary for expansion.

Jupuary needs the DAO to pass the vote with a yes.

The community needs Jupuary. But IMO it’s unlikely we’ll see a Jupuary vote passed by the DAO without allocating a 25% bonus (110M JUP) to JUP stakers whom seem to be wanting and demanding even much more.

The team essentially had the power to push it, but now that there is a DAO everything needs to be alligned with both the team, the community as well as with JUP holders (stakers) by passing DAO votes. So the team and community needs to incentive the DAO to vote yes to align them with Jupuary.

A 110M allocation / 25% bonus is a lot for just ~ 300,000 decent sized stakers (not counting below 50 JUP stakers), but it’s not disproportional compared to the other users and allocations.

It’s a fair reward considering the future of Jupuary depends on the DAO. We have better chances of having the Jupuary vote passed with a reasonable allocation for the DAO.
