Prioritizing Stakers: Heaviest Airdrop Rewards for DAO Contributors

Summary of the Proposal: The next airdrop should provide the heaviest rewards for the stakers in the next jupuary. I believe this is fair because the stakers are not just casual token holders but are actively reinforcing the DAO by staking and thus locking in their tokens.

Why reward them?

  1. These holders are showing a much deeper commitment than if they were to just hold the tokens and not stake them. They see the staked tokens as good for the DAO. Stakers are a critical part of the community.
  2. Our holding commitment rewards measure commitment over the long term by requiring a 30-day unstaking period. This time lock shows that stakers are not likely to engage in wild price speculation, and it aligns the interests of stakers, the ecosystem, and the DAO with the long-term sustainability of the project.

In this proposal: I suggest giving stakers a higher weight for the next jupuary ( if it’s going to take place). Why? Because I think it’s not only fair but also beneficial for the DAO.

I totally agree. Also, when you reward long term stakers the less likely these tokens end up getting dumped to the market. So the longer someone has staked, the more proposals voted, the more rewards should be directed to these individuals. The largest allocation of the potential jupurary shold be shared this way.

yeah agree, and there are a lot of people who are saying ASR should be enough for stakers which I think is kind of foolish.

ASR has only off-set the losses you would have seen from holding JUP all year (still my favorite token)

We need some weighted average between product usage, staking & community involvement.

I strongly agree with this proposal. Jup stakers demonstrate a deeper commitment to the Jup DAO & Jup ecosystem by locking in their tokens and contributing to the long-term stability of the ecosystem. Rewarding them more heavily in the next airdrop is both fair and beneficial, as it encourages sustained engagement and aligns incentives for the health of the project. By prioritising those who’ve staked their Jup, we strengthen the DAO’s foundation and ensure its continued success.

There should be many classifications imo

  • Staking is healthy for the ecosystem.
  • Also daily traders, investors and swapping

It’s clearly different leave your funds locked and forget it, than trade SOL-PERPS in a daily basis
Also swap every day

Both help Jupiter growth

With locked funds, trading fees, and volume

imo it’s a 50/50
Allocation

Exactly. If we want to ensure the tokens end up in the right hands, this is the best way to identify those truly committed. That said, I also agree that other criteria should be considered to attract new users and reward them for supporting the ecosystem in their own ways. However, the staking criteria should still carry the highest multiplier, as it reflects the strongest commitment.

Every product uses deserves a multipliers though ASR is absolutely a nice experiment.

Yes, but what i wanted to say here stakers deserve the highest multiplier. You can read above @Mbolorman and @miuq comments they explain why very well.

I’d say it’d be better to give the largest portion to stakers but also award daily traders/ investors. This way the tokens are less likely to get dumped at the next jupuary TGE.

Interesting take and super straightforward :smiley: . And I kinda agree with the fact that the stakers are locking a big amount of their cashflow (thus they can’t use their $jup in any other defi services besides voting on jup DAO), doing it for the sake of the project, the token PA protection, DAO and community. It should definitely have a big wheight in a future potential jupuary. Maybe some will argue the fact that are others that make “big volumes” with the trading products, I am aware of it and that’s why in the same time I think we should not forget about those who use the other products that bring back to the project important value through collected fees…maybe take account about those who are super active and commited in the socials and pump/boost jupiter in other ways too. There was also another proposal regarding the jupuary criterias from carl, here in jup research…don’t know if u checked it, but I found it pretty interesting, let me know what you feel about it, if u didnt have the chance to take a look:

I wholeheartedly support this proposal. Its perfect moment to recognize and reward stakers for their dedicated time, effort and resources they’ve invested to help grow and sustain the DAO.

Makes sense, couldn’t agree more !

exactly brother! stakers should be recognized for their dedication.

I agree, but how do we know this isn’t happening already?

I completely agree with this post. We could implement a system similar to Debridge or Sanctum, where not all tokens are unlocked at once, particularly for those receiving the highest tier. This approach would help mitigate large price volatility and create a more stable market.

Agreed. Not to forget that the DAO voters would be choosing between diluting or not diluting their supply if they don’t see much in it for their hard earned JUP tokens.

I realize that it sounds a bit selfish, however, market will act for the best outcome. It is a reality that we have to face. :slightly_smiling_face:

Agreed. Staking long term should be rewarded. Also, there could be an incentive structure in which the longer you stake without unstaking anything, the more airdrop “power” you accrue.

I do like that Stakers would get a heaviest look. The fear of Jupuary is people dumping. But that can’t be the only criteria as the goal is to attract more to Jupiter. So I like that Stakers would get a portion, we need to find a way to get Jup into the hands of people who may be new to crypto and this could be there first real defi experience as well… Jup for the masses. But we can’t forget J4J so yes let’s ensure the DAO gets a portion.
