I know most people won’t agree with me, but why should Jupuary distribute tokens to people who don’t already hold or stake $JUP?
Many will argue that the airdrop is meant to reward new users and those who use Jupiter products, but let’s think about it:
If you’re a new user wanting to get involved in the Jupiverse, why wouldn’t you just buy 50 $JUP, stake it, and start participating in DAO governance?
In my opinion, if you’re not willing to make that effort, you don’t deserve to be part of Jupuary.
I have also seen people in the forum suggesting that product users deserve 60-70-80% of the airdrop. Are we seriously considering this? Or is it just people farming who want to raise their voices?
Jupiter has a lot of users because the products are fantastic. So why should we reward people for using amazing products for free instead of rewarding those who have been staking and supporting the DAO?
I get that this might not be the most popular opinion.
But honestly, I don’t see Jupuary as a " player pumps player " event anymore. No matter how the distribution goes, not everyone will be happy. Even if the team sees it as a “gift,” people already have expectations, and that’s creating tension.
Jupuary is causing conflict between stakers, product users, catdets, and others.
In my opinion, the 700M tokens should go to ASR, with 225M distributed each quarter.
I think stakers should be at the top of the list for Jupuary rewards really especially taking into account how many of the votes they have taken part in.
The amount of votes you have done is very important imo as you can’t fake that, and you haven’t just suddenly staked a load of $JUP in the final months of the year to try and get in on the Jupuary rewards.
Not all JUP products are free like perps that have a small fee and that’s why there a few proposals giving an extra allocation just for the users of perps.
Also, the DAO is one thing (a beautiful decentralized thing btw) and JUP as a DEX is another thing. And the goal of Jupuary was and is to reward all users that are apart of the Jupiverse. So that includes the DAO but also users that use the DEX. That’s why almost every proposal gives an allocation both for users with volume on the DEX and allocation for the members/voters of the DAO
I’ll just say that DAO has voted for the core working group, several smaller working groups, 30% supply reduction and will also be voting about many many more things regarding the future of Jupiter, such as jupuary.
Voters are in the center of decision making process and a key pillar of Jupiter. Majority has spent their own money to buy JUP, locking it from the circulation shrinking JUP supply and thus positively effecting to price of JUP.
In my humble opinion, we should not punish voters because they have got APY. I’ll quote my comment in other post:
and Thanks for flagging my post, which was nothing abusive. you really need strong opinion to stand against mine, ill write that again ‘you can only hope’
the more i read the more exhausted it gets, seems like you might have loaned 1m so to pay back quarterly and by the end of the year you would have paid back everything now you still have 1m as 100% APY, loans cost interest so roughly 1m good luck.
edit 2: screw you, you flagged my 2nd post.
ill quote it here, wont stop, aint stop, not this life cycle.
-You really look that desperate.
I think DAO voters are important but they already get a huge amount of tokens and should not be the only benefactors from the airdrop.
It would be unfair to limit the airdrop to only stalkers as a long if new users are unfamiliar with a DAO and governance voting.
We need to reward a breath of users as to make it fair and inclusive
Jupuary is meant to celebrate the entire Jupiter community. Even they don’t hold or stake any JUP tokens. I do believe, that those who stake $JUP and do not unstaked their ASR rewards – showing the deepest commitment to Jupiter – are the ones who most deserve a significant share of the reward. However, it’s equally important to include the broader community. Everyone actively using Jupiter’s ecosystem, whether through DCA, perps, or even Fox, contributes to its growth and deserves recognition. A fair distribution across all active participants strengthens the bond within our community and rewards everyone playing a role in the Jupiverse’s success.
I don’t think it should be strictly for stakers. while I definitely believe they should be included but JUP is so much more than the DAO. We want to recruit the masses and keep them in the Jupiverse. There needs to be a gift for other users to help recruit them. Plus there are a lot of other JPU users, contributors, and users of all things JUP. Some people just don’t feel comfortable staking but are still contributors. This could be discord, X or reddit. I think all things JUP should be involved.
Fully agree, we are living with Jup project, staking, voting, trading, etc., it is not honest to compare us with audience which do not care of Jup and its community
The wide inclusiveness of the first jupuary took many by surprise and, greatly on-boarded plus cemented the die hard spirit in Jupiter’s community.
A similar jupuary will achieve thesame and more.
Skewing it to largely favour stakers will make much bad blood as there are several equally important aspects of contributions to the protocol.
The @JUPWhale proposal fairly takes care of every user. With some tweaks, it should make for a great airdrop template to all Jupiter contributors, old and new
I still don’t get why people worry so much about price.
Jupiter is an insanely wide protocol with far reaching suite of products, most based team, very rooted community, and solana users who, frankly, have no other choice.
Jup is just experiencing its first bull market, and will have its run eventually, except the team messes up spectacularly (which is most improbable)
When you say ASR = PPP and Jupuary = PVP you don’t actually care about PVP whatsoever.
How do I know that? Well anyone with a brain can infer that your entire post is PVP.
This allocation strategy is PVP. You’re forgoing rewarding users who spend and use real money, for the sake of a stake ponzi and rewarding yourself.
Who do you think users are, a bunch of mindless NPCs? No, they are PEOPLE, people who your post is is in opposition to.
Your entire post is the definition PVP, you want 99.9% of users to lose and 0.1% of stakers to win, that’s why you want linear allocation and only allocation to stakers.
If you cared about the PVP aspect, you’d simply say “well the team got it right last time, so I’d advocate for them to create the criteria and leave it to them!”. You clearly also don’t care about these values because the previous drop (which was fantastic and grew the community immensely) is totally antithetical to what you’re asking for here.
But you don’t advocate for the teams previous approach, your version of ending PVP is giving the allocation to you. To you personally or people in your specific position. Your values are don’t give the money to users, give the money to me.
Yes a $4 per token would be cool and show how far we’ve come but it’s not detrimental to the project. Ik meow and the team gonna deliver no matter what which is why I’m so fkn bullish on them.
I just want a higher price for their hard work to be rewarded and recognised
I can’t get in board with this take. A new user “ just buying 50 JUP “ and being airdropped JUP is the difference between getting another entitled holder rather than one of appreciation. The ladder usually withers away as everything doesn’t go their way.
I’m an extremely optimistic holder, but this greed absolutely should be faded.
i guess it comes down to the mentality. if people are entitled and get mad that they dont get an airdrop. they probs never deserved it to start with.
Meow has said. Jupuary is a GIFT not an entitlement. I support him with this whether i get an airdrop or not. I got last years which i still have staked and the wealth of knowledge from the dao is worth so much!
