POV: THE JUPUARY VOTE DOES NOT PASS - WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

As the community votes on whether Jupuary should continue in 2025, it’s important to consider what happens if the vote does not pass. Founder Meow has presented a 50/50 concept, where 50% of the funds go to the team and 50% to the community. But if Jupuary is paused or stopped altogether, there’s a key question: what will happen to the allocated Jupuary airdrop funds? Here are some alternative ideas for how those funds could be repurposed:

1. Funding the ASR (Active Staking Rewards):

  • One potential use for the Jupuary funds could be to boost the Active Staking Rewards (ASR) pool. ASR rewards those who stake and vote in Jupiter governance, creating strong incentives for active participation in the ecosystem. Allocating these funds to ASR could help further engage the community while still offering financial rewards, ensuring that loyal stakers and voters are continuously incentivized.

2. Nominations for Specific Community Members:

  • The funds could be used to create a nomination-based reward system, where community members can nominate others who have made meaningful contributions. Whether through educational efforts, community engagement, or technical support, this would ensure that dedicated individuals who add value to the ecosystem are properly recognized and rewarded.

3. Bounties for Development and Innovation:

  • Allocating Jupuary funds for bounties can drive innovation within the Jupiter ecosystem. Community members and developers could compete to solve specific challenges, create new tools, or improve existing features. By offering financial rewards for innovative contributions, the platform can grow stronger while keeping the community highly engaged and motivated to help develop Jupiter’s future.

4. Launchpad Funding for New Projects:

  • The Jupuary funds could be redirected to help fund new and exciting projects on the Jupiter launchpad. Supporting fresh ideas and startups not only boosts the platform’s visibility but also creates more utility for $JUP within the ecosystem. The community could vote on which projects deserve funding, keeping the decision-making process decentralized and transparent.

5. Enhanced Liquidity for DEX Trading:

  • Another option could be to use the funds to provide liquidity to the decentralized exchange (DEX). More liquidity can help stabilize $JUP trading pairs, reduce slippage, and create a better trading experience overall. By using the airdrop funds in this way, Jupiter can ensure smoother and more reliable trading for all users.

6. Community-Driven Events and Initiatives:

  • The funds could also be allocated toward community-driven initiatives, such as hosting events, competitions, or educational webinars. By actively supporting these kinds of efforts, Jupiter would foster a more vibrant community, making it more inclusive and encouraging new members to join and contribute.

Conclusion

If the vote to continue Jupuary in 2025 does not pass, the airdrop funds could still play a crucial role in the growth of the Jupiter ecosystem. Whether through ASR funding, bounties, community nominations, or other creative uses, these funds can be repurposed to reward active participation, drive innovation, and support the long-term health of the project. Ultimately, the decision on how to use these resources should align with the community’s goals and ensure that Jupiter continues to grow in a meaningful way.

Hmm, interesting. At first glance it wold feel simpler for the vote to actually pass. Maybe it would give a lot difference if a clear alternate route was present. Like probably many people will vote for Jupuary to continue, but if the team would provide a clear path of how the allocation would be used if it would not pass, it could make for some pretty deep debates and even completely different voting outcome:

I think for many it would feel weird to vote no, not exactly knowing how these funds would be repurposed and just putting it out there.

I like the ideas related to allocating the tokens to people who participated,created or added value (via measurable metrics) in different initiatives and hereby helped to continue to grow the ecosystem.

Nevertheless on the extreme end those could still be burned, but i am pretty sure its the least probable outcome. :eyes:

I was in the superminority that voted against the 30% reduction feeling that it was rushed, against my interest, and not a particularly pressing issue this early

Ok, fair enough and no big deal. I will cope with less like everyone else and it will about even out as long as I keep stacking and voting.

This I don’t understand at all. Why does there even need to be a vote on continuing Jupuary 2025 as scheduled? Voting not to have Jupuary would equate to early whales pulling the ladder up behind themselves, taking a dump on everyone else, then wiping their asses with copies of PPP manifestos and the WEN poem

Please everyone vote Yes to Jupuary 2025 and continue to grow the pie!

when it comes to 50/50 split, 30% reduction, Jupuary, PPP

Lot of time is invested discussing things that do not matter at all, to create illusion of control on behalf of DAO community.

Jup Core Team has so much JUP already, that they can not sell 15% of it ever, without slamming JUP price below 10 cents.

They have all the JUP they will ever be able to convert to cash, billons of it, JUP they have now can last them for decades and they would need several bull run cycles to sell 50% of it.

You can think of as they have infinite amount of it, the only limit is that as they sell 5,10,15% of it they would run the price to the ground and cause community to sell off also.

So all the talk about 50/50, 30%, Jupuary,PPP, has only one goal.

That less $JUP ends up in YOUR hands reader, or LEAVE Your hands, as you are in position to sell well before the Jup Core Team that has their tokens locked.

If meow and development team cared about JUP token value right now while YOU can sell, they would try to give it some sort of NEW additional utility on Jup.ag, they would create a demand for it not invent problems with Supply that never existed or manifested.

Not only they do not want to admit there is DEMAND problem not a SUPPLY problem, they like to DIP in many places, DIP in stacking SOL, DIP in lunchpad, DIP in fees, they are multi doubledippers :smiley: and they do not want to put to much focus on giving Jup token weight to distract from their other revenue streams.

Jup token is not among recommended list of tokens when you go to swap on jup.ag

Jup token is not a default selection when selecting any feature in jup.ag

Jup token does not have any utility to pay with or stack to reduce prep and DCA fee costs

Jup token does not give you any kind of revenue sharing

So what do you get with Jup token

you get sense you belong to community on discord

you get not very lucrative airdrops, better to stack SOL

you get to Vote in a democratic process, that has same problem that every democracy ever had, Who decides what we vote for? Of course community leaders ( that are mostly members of Work Groups and LAVISHELY rewarded by free JUP as incentives to be happy whatever price is ) - same as any politicians

So what can we do as community. Tell meow to concentrate on giving more reason to people to BUY JUP, integrate JUP token in JUP.ag platform in more ways then just voting, create DEMAND for JUP token, not PPP cult like stuff that reminds of Charles Hoskinson and Cardano preaching

Hold is not mandatory, if you see all as a doomed ecosystem you can sell now or sell on a higher exit point. People are working here, maybe is not perfect but a lot of people are doing a collective effort

Great suggestions. Always a good idea to have Plan B in case Plan A fails. Your ideas are comprehensive & hard to think of anything that hasn’t been captured there for consideration. My hope is that the upcoming Jupuary vote passes cos one can only start imagining the complexities in trying to navigate thru formulating any fairer reward scheme than some broad scheme framed around certain things we have debated in other topics in relation to this JUPUARY AIRDROP. That said, I remain hopeful that vote will pass🤞🏿

I think the vote will pass. I do hope that we can come together to decide the best way of allocating the airdrop to acquire and maintain the most amount of long term JUP holders who are forward looking. I think active stakers should be well taken care of as they are already demonstrating that by voting with their dollars and a hybrid approach of incentivizing platform users(the masses), and also companies that are partnered with and use JUP API/launch on our launchpad to encourage other projects to partner with JUP over the year.

I read all that and you raise some good points.

I like the direction jup as a token is going and is rewarding users. If jupuary continues for a few more years, holding the token alone and not selling would be a big enough incentive to get Jup airdrop.

In terms on revenue, they may take a similar approach to unisewaps $UNI, which includes dex volume rev sharing. I feel that would be a smart play after jupuarys and ASRs are completed. But im interested to see where this goes…

Yeah i tried to brainstorm as much as i could think of, was hoping the community could add to my ideas, but yes, we need a plan b regardless.

Goggins always said “You don’t rise to the level of your expectations; you fall to the level of your training.” In other words, you need a base level of training to fall back to should shit go wrong.

Last Jupuary was perfect and a lot of people seemed happy. As i like to say “dont fix what aint broken”
