Revert back VA Portfolio increase min amount from $50 to $2

I’ve been using Value Average since day one, and honestly, I love how it works compared to Dollar Cost Averaging. The idea of accumulating more when prices are lower just makes so much sense.

But recently, there was an update where the minimum portfolio increase amount was changed from $2 to $50. I’m not sure why this change was made now, but I really think we should bring back the $2 option.

Here’s why:

1. Testing on Volatile Tokens:

The $2 minimum was perfect for trying out entries on riskier tokens without committing a lot of money. I could value average small amounts every day or even every 12 hours, which gave me more control and less risk.

2. Helping Smaller Investors:

It was also great for people with smaller budgets or those just starting out. Being able to spread out your investment over time without worrying about big chunks of money made it so much easier to explore different tokens.

I think this change makes the platform less accessible for a lot of users, especially those who liked the flexibility of smaller amounts. Bringing back the $2 minimum could encourage more people to try out Value Average and make it more inclusive.

What do you all think? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I don’t even understand why it was changed to $50, minimum of $10 will be okay.

information was clear in discord :

We’re making a few changes next Monday to LO/DCA/VA:

For Limit-Order, the fee on stable pairs has increased from 0.01% to 0.03%.

These pairs are harder to fill and cause more strain on Jupiter’s servers, and there have been a large spike of these orders.

For DCA/VA, the minimum size per order has been increased to $50.

Due to Solana’s activity and priority fees increasing, DCA/VA requires a larger minimum size to land transactions on Solana, as smaller trades do not pay enough priority fees to land.

With these changes, LO/DCA/VA should be able to serve our users better. Thank you for using Jupiter!
