I think the best way to combat bot farmers or Sybil farmers is the following:
USDC/USDT txn not counted in volume
Volume/ perps / DCA ect to only account for 10% of airdrop
90% to be from community based onboarding such as - joining discord and having cadet / cat if culture role , presence on twitter, attending planitary calls, engaging on JUP research ect
Stakers get either 100 , 200 or 300 $JUP bonus (not multiplier)
This way, if bots do slip through the cracks it will be insignificant
I also found that some wallets labeled as bots did not clearly demonstrate bot behaviors. However, I acknowledge that bots play a vital role in DEX operations by balancing exchange pools. Notably, some bots are quite sophisticated.
These bots also incur substantial transaction costs, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, plus expenses for RPC calls. Ultimately, the JUP team will decide on the final airdrop distribution strategy.
Here’s data from the Jupiter team, I guess they might use different data source or only use input_usd instead of (input_usd + output_usd, which doubles the volume)
I think what they are hinting at is- bc there is so many users they are going to limit the amount of people; or consider volume as the smallest part of the criteria.
I’m only expecting 10-20% of criteria to be based upon volume alone. I expect the other 70% to be carrots and good cats and 10% for stakers (as a one off bonus)
I think volume will be used a bit but also if users have been using dca ape and other tools like lock tokens onboarding new users and overall use of the platform. Amount of transactions perhaps as well. Probably using all of these indicators would help find real users quite easily. It’s what I would do anyways. But until the drop happens it’s anyone’s guess.
It’s obvious that it was extremely farm from swap options because of airdrop. I think the power users should be more consider too people whom only farming through swap. Some power users use more than 4 Jupiter products, lock, Ape, DCA, VA, and stake.
People who never unstake ASR, top up ASR without selling and at least votes like 15 to 17 vote deserved onchain recognition. Jupiter team are super intelligent.
