It’s not needed to eliminate swap volume as a whole. The team can easily apply deduplication methods and anti-Sybil methods.
In addition, a $100 minimum volume requirement would reduce the general user base from ~ 15.25 Million wallets to ~ 3.9 Million users. This effectively weeds out around ~ 11.3 Million low quality spam users / bots and airdrop farmers. The higher tiers provide even more protection against gaming the system.
.
Trading cryptocurrency tokens remains the main purpose of Jupiter Aggregator.
The adjusted volume-based distribution based on user tiers remains a fair method to reward the 3.9 Million Jupiter users according to their level of trading activity (volume).
In addition to this I propose an allocation for 1. DAO / JUP Stakers, 2. Community Contributors and 3. New Feature Users (any user who traded JUP, JLP, JupSOL and/or who used new Jupiter features like DCA, Perps, DAO Staking/Voting.)
I have since added other ‘‘Non-Trading Based Community Allocations’’ in my proposal, which you can read below: JUP Airdrop Round 2: Addressing Concerns & Proposal for Distribution - #87 by JUPWhale
