DAO Proposal: Reward Long-Term Stakers & Build Real Yield

Update V.1.1*

Hello Jupiter community & Jupiter Team! :waving_hand:

I would like to submit this draft proposal for your consideration, both from the community and the Jupiter core team.

This is one more version, open to feedback and improvement.

Proposal Intro: Sustainable Staking with Real Impact

This proposal goes beyond simple yield, it’s about real value, long-term sustainability, and social impact for the $JUP ecosystem.

It’s designed to:

  • Reward long-term stakers with USD-based yield (from protocol fees, not airdrops, long-term sustainability)
  • Boost staking retention and network security
  • Offer bonus rewards for supporting social good
  • Ensure less sell pressure on $JUP
  • Promote fair, scalable governance through a time-weighted voting model
  • And most of all, drive community alignment and empowerment

This strategy replaces traditional token burns with direct funding for projects that benefit society, ensuring long-term sustainability, increased adoption, and real-world utility.

Instead of destroying value, we redirect it into the ecosystem and into meaningful causes — creating a future where staking actually means something.

Long-Term Commitment = Fair, Scalable Voting Power

Governance should be shaped by those who believe in the long-term vision of Jupiter — but without centralizing influence.

Instead of fixed percentage boosts, this proposal suggests a logarithmic model for voting power based on stake size and time committed.

Voting Power: Math Behind the Hybrid Model

This model balances stake size and loyalty over time to create a fair, scalable governance structure for the Jupiter DAO.

:abacus: Formula

voting_power = log10(stake_amount) * time_multiplier

  • log10(stake_amount) compresses the advantage of large token holders.
  • time_multiplier rewards how long a user has staked without unstaking.

:brain: Why Use a Logarithmic Scale?

Stake ($JUP) Linear Power log10(stake)
100 100 2
1,000 1,000 3
10,000 10,000 4
100,000 100,000 5
  • Diminishing returns for large holders
  • Encourages participation from smaller stakers
  • Prevents governance centralization

:hourglass_not_done: Time-Based Loyalty Boosts

Duration Without Unstaking Time Multiplier
3 Months 1.05
6 Months 1.15
12 Months 1.30
24 Months 1.50
  • The longer you stake without unstaking, the more governance weight you gain.
  • Encourages DAO alignment and protocol trust.

:bar_chart: Combined Power Example

User Stake Duration Multiplier log10(Stake) Voting Power
Alice 1,000 12 mo 1.30 3.00 3.90
Bob 100,000 3 mo 1.05 5.00 5.25

Even though Bob staked 100× more tokens, his voting power is only ~35% higher because Alice stayed committed longer.

If Alice staked for 24 months:

Voting Power = 3.00 × 1.50 = 4.50

She now gets even closer in governance weight, showing how time balances size.

Why This Works

  • Fair to small stakers
  • Rewards long-term commitment
  • Discourages whale dominance
  • Promotes sustainable, dynamic governance

Fair, inclusive, and scalable — encouraging commitment without centralization.

Staking Rewards With Social Impact

Rewarding both financial loyalty and social good:

:date: Staking Period :money_with_wings: Base ASR :wrapped_gift: Bonus
3 Months 5% +1% if donating to impact causes
6 Months 8% +2% + NFT reward
12 Months 12% +4% + extra voting power
24 Months 15% +6% + VIP perks & governance boost

Let’s incentivize staking with purpose, not just profit.

:dollar_banknote: Real USD Rewards (Without Selling $JUP)

To reduce the need to sell JUP for liquidity, this proposal includes a USD-based passive income stream:

:white_check_mark: Funded by:

  • A fixed % of Jupiter protocol fees
  • Stored in a treasury wallet or stable vault

:white_check_mark: Distributed based on:

  • Amount staked
  • Duration without unstaking
  • Loyalty score

This allows long-term stakers to:

  • Access a stable yield
  • Maintain their JUP position
  • Contribute to ecosystem strength

:glowing_star: Benefits to the DAO

  • :brain: More engaged, long-term governance participants
  • :locked_with_key: Higher staking retention = greater security
  • :globe_showing_europe_africa: Sustainable incentives with social impact
  • :money_with_wings: Less JUP sell pressure through USD rewards
  • :purple_heart: Community empowerment & alignment

:hammer_and_wrench: Let’s Build It Together

This is a second draft.

I welcome all thoughts, suggestions, or improvements from the community and the Jupiter team.

Let’s co-create a future where staking means more than yield.

P.S. tagging a few great minds for input: @meow @Kash @0xSoju @9yointern :raising_hands:

Thanks to all,
