Starter's Guide to JUP Research

[Miir]

Welcome to JUP Research!

We hope that this forum serves as a high signal and thoughtful space for research and critical analysis about Jupiter initiatives, ecosystem projects, and broader decentralised meta ideas.

To help you navigate the forum better, we’ll go through how topics (a.k.a forum posts) are categorised, how you can create a new topic and some guidelines to consider before you begin.

Categories

JUP Research is organised into five main categories, each representing a broad area of the Jupiter ecosystem:

1. Jupiter Products (Product updates and feedback)
2. Jupiter DAO (Proposals, discussions and governance)
3. Community (Integrations and introductions)
4. Research (Articles and technical deep-dives)
5. General (Rules, guides and other relevant topics)
6. Archived Blogposts (Past written blogs)

Subcategories

To dive deeper into more specific topics, each category expands into the following subcategories:

1. Jupiter Products: Perpetuals, Ape, Spot
2. Jupiter DAO: Working Groups, LFG Introductions, LFG Updates, $JUP, Active Staking Rewards (ASR)
3. Community: Jupiter Integrations, Giant Unified Market (G.U.M) Introductions
4. Research: Wen New Standard (WNS), DeFi, Risk
5. General: No subcategories for now
6. Archived Blogposts: No subcategories for now

Tags

Tags are a useful way to locate more specific topics like proposals, updates, and reports from various organisations. Tags allow you to find posts that are directly relevant to your interests.

How to Find Topics

Here are some ways you can find the latest topics on JUP Research:

Topics

Clicking on ‘Topics’ on the top left corner of the page shows you the the most recently updated topics across all categories.

Categories, Subcategories & Tags

You can filter topics by categories, subcategories and tags by using the dropdown menus at the top of the page or on the side of the page.

Search

You can directly search for any topic using the search bar. This is especially useful if you know exactly what you’re looking for or if you’re trying to find something quickly.

Creating a new Topic

When creating a new topic, it is recommended to categorise your post appropriately to ensure it reaches the right audience and can be properly managed by the moderators.

For instance, if I wanted to suggest a new feature for Perps on Jupiter, I can create a new topic under:

• Category: Jupiter Products
• Subcategory: Perpetuals
• Tags: ‘proposal’

For projects writing LFG proposals, this guide will be helpful: LFG Launchpad: From application to the LFG Launch!

Post Moderation for new users

New users will have their posts go through review before it shows up. The first 5 posts from a new user enters a moderation queue for manual review. After that, your posts should show up automatically.

This manual review process is very important to keep the research and analysis quality of this forum, and encourage thoughtful conversation.

Please save your writing in a separate document before posting – there is no functionality on this site for moderators to comment on a pending post with feedback, there’s only “approve” or “reject” buttons and you will lose your work if it’s rejected.

There were marketing posts that I rejected because they would diminish the experience of being on this forum for serious users. I’ve also rejected some posts that are not making quality conversation, especially when a topic is already flooded with it. For example, if there are already a number of shilly replies in that topic saying “bullish, love it”, then I might dismiss the next one because it adds nothing to the conversation.

Other examples:

• Randomly throws in a link to their own project on another project’s thread
• Writes a marketing thread or partnership request about their project with no plans to use LFG or path to TGE
• Spams their wallet address (yes it happened multiple times)
• A chain of hype posts flood in from new users for the same topic at once, without much explanation or elaboration
• Posts that are not in English

All meaningful questions and thoughtful comments have and will continue to go through.

We hope this guide has been helpful and we look forward to your first post!

Good summary, like it is the stuff you have pretty much all known after really actively using it for 2 weeks, but for someone new it might really help for orientation.

[macximus]

For all new people that come into the site this summary might be helpful, easier find things get an overview, what is expected on the site and under what section specific ideas are concentrated. This post should be pinned (if that is possible).

[lochie2001]

Remember same after joining 1st week of March this year. Had no clue. Just muddling along and getting these replies about my messages needing approval. Looked daunting but decided to just get stuck in there & touch every link over & over again so I understood how it functioned as I muddled along. The key thing for me was consistency as I learned new stuff each day. Never had these guides like the nice one @Miir put together here. I also found that, learning somethings by trial & error or sort of like teaching yourself makes you understand it a lot more. But that doesn’t work for everyone so guides like these are helpful.

Thanks for this work, I’ll be taking your illustrations and translating the explanations into French to raise awareness among members of the French-speaking community who may not yet be familiar with jupresearch.

[lochie2001]

Yes 100% as time goes on the more hacks you learn!

For any new user, if you want to quote a portion of someone tweet like this __>

You just highlight is with a right click and then click “quote” its a quick and easy way to pick apart discussion in here and make specific reference.
