Proposal: Establishing a Telegram Community for Jupiter Exchange

Introduction

Jupiter Exchange currently lacks an official Telegram group, which could be a valuable addition to the ecosystem. Telegram is widely used for crypto and blockchain communities, offering real-time engagement, accessibility, and direct interaction with users. This proposal seeks to explore the potential benefits, challenges, and structure of such a group while ensuring alignment with the Jupiter team’s vision.

Benefits of a Telegram Community

•	Real-Time Communication: Unlike forums or Discord, Telegram allows for quick, fluid discussions providing it grows into a large group.
•	User Engagement & Onboarding: Helps attract new users.
•	Community-Driven Growth: Encourages organic discussions, idea sharing, and network effects.
•	Marketing & Announcements: A direct channel for updates, news, and events.
•	Support & Education: A space where new users can ask questions and get quick responses from the community.

Challenges & Considerations

•	Fake Accounts & Scams: Telegram is known for bots and impersonators. Solutions include:

Strict Moderation: Manual approval or CAPTCHA-based verification for new members.
Official Verification: Pinning a message from the Jupiter team within the verification bot.
Clear Guidelines: Stating rules against spam, phishing attempts, and impersonation.

• Managing Discussions: Telegram can get chaotic without structure. Consider topic-based discussion threads.

Structure & Implementation

•	Official Ownership & Administration
•	Ideally, the Jupiter team should create and officially endorse the group.
•	Admin roles can be delegated to trusted community members.

Potential Use Cases
• Newsfeed & Announcements – Official updates from the team and admins.
• General Discussion – Open community chat about Jupiter Exchange.
• Memes & Creative Engagement – Encouraging fun content to increase community participation.
• Giveaways & Incentives – Possibility of using a portion of Jup tokens for community rewards.
• Support & FAQs – Helping new users navigate Jupiter.
Please feel free to list your ideas for creating engagement.

Next Steps & Discussion

Before moving forward, it would be valuable to get input from the Jupiter team and community on:

1.	Feasibility – Is an official Telegram group something the Jupiter team is open to supporting? Could it be implemented over the next month to a year.
2.	Use Cases – What should the primary focus of the group be?
3.	Moderation & Management – How should admin roles and responsibilities be structured?
4.	Community Incentives – Could giveaways or other engagement strategies be implemented?

If the Jupiter team approves, we can refine the structure further and begin planning the setup. In the meantime, feedback and additional ideas are welcome!

I forgot to mention Telegram has 950 million monthly active users with a big crypto following.

JUP announced that they were creating a partnership with TON network who specialized in Mini Apps I believe that using mini apps to on board would be life changing!

I would advocate for this fully. I can see a real use case for the Telegram group with the amount of people using the Tg app on daily basis.

I would propose a lot of channels activated through the App (Announcements, Community chat, Giveaways, Projects etc) similarly to the Discord chat. My reasoning for a lot of channels would be that a single channel for everything regarding Jupiverse would be hella chaotic.

I would also guess that there are endless amount of experienced Telegram chat mods and admins present in the Jupiter ecosystem (myself included :raising_hand_man:), so the moderation in real time would not pose a problem.

Wanted to create similar thread, great initiative! Curious to see what the team feels about it.

You are right having enough moderators would probably not be a problem. We could aim long term at 20-50 perhaps.
Channels are good or one can change group settings to topics. This then allows for a clean user experience but is more interactive. Thanks for the input.

I personally hate Telegram but don’t see the harm in trying this. I just feel like with Jup’s popularity it will be a constant stream of messages and be hard to keep up with.

Definitely with lots of onboarding you get lots of interaction, hype, posting and extra work. Mostly though a community on tg does that work for you in my experience. Get your point though. Structure and correct implementation is key. With a few good bots you can completely stop spam attacks.

Yeah there is definitely no harm in trying, I know some people really enjoy using Telegram for whatever reasons. If it adds value then why not hey?

I guess we would just need to ensure the value it brings outweighs any costs of running what will end up being a large group

Totally get it. We will see what people want. But it has gotten quiet in the forum lately, X too. So we will have to be patient. Do feel like we need to better capitalise on momentum in the future or grow it by exsactly that, having a large group. The more the better in my opinion.

Yeah I guess that’s to be somewhat expected. Everyone is probably taking a chance to breathe after Januarys activities.

I’m sure it will all ramp up again once the next rounds of ASR start to get going.

  1. Let’s use all forms of communication to integrate into our mini-apps. Let’s funnel our users into roles: Cadets, Cat-society-esque. Let’s link Web2 and Web3 businesses to show a tether and “aggregate everything.”

  2. Let’s focus on education and empowering our users through meaningful work. (TON network excels at social engineering.) Let’s make onboarding a game.

  3. Focus on “decentralized business” as an example so that people relate this to working.

  4. Show the real-world application, and they will invite others to join when they see it is good.

  5. Make it professional, fun, and immersive. Example: Make it into a social game like Facebook’s Pet Society.

Im trying to follow the posts and just saw the jup.ag portfolio and it looks great tell the people whoever is doing that right now. It look good
