Should the Jupuary Airdrop Be Just for Stakers?

I know most people won’t agree with me, but why should Jupuary distribute tokens to people who don’t already hold or stake $JUP?

Many will argue that the airdrop is meant to reward new users and those who use Jupiter products, but let’s think about it:

  • If you’re a new user wanting to get involved in the Jupiverse, why wouldn’t you just buy 50 $JUP, stake it, and start participating in DAO governance?

In my opinion, if you’re not willing to make that effort, you don’t deserve to be part of Jupuary.

I have also seen people in the forum suggesting that product users deserve 60-70-80% of the airdrop. Are we seriously considering this? Or is it just people farming who want to raise their voices?

Jupiter has a lot of users because the products are fantastic. So why should we reward people for using amazing products for free instead of rewarding those who have been staking and supporting the DAO?


I get that this might not be the most popular opinion.

But honestly, I don’t see Jupuary as a " player pumps player " event anymore. No matter how the distribution goes, not everyone will be happy. Even if the team sees it as a “gift,” people already have expectations, and that’s creating tension.

Jupuary is causing conflict between stakers, product users, catdets, and others.

In my opinion, the 700M tokens should go to ASR, with 225M distributed each quarter.

ASR = PPP
Jupuary = PVP
