The Next 2 Years: DAO Resolution Pt.1

Jupiter DAO
184

I’m thrilled about the potential of the DAO ratification, particularly for those who hold $JUP long-term. Meow has always emphasized the importance of experimenting, learning, and growing, and I genuinely believe we’ve achieved that together. The principles outlined in this draft directly address some of the key friction points we’ve experienced as a community.

Personally, I’m incredibly interested in the section on new community leaders (cue my mischievous “evil grin”)—not just for the excitement it holds for the community but also for the opportunity it presents for me to find my lane and contribute in a meaningful way. It’s these discussions and reflections that have weighed on my mind, and I’m eager to tackle them alongside this passionate community.

Don’t worry, your answer somehow convinced me. :kissing_cat: … edit: NOT

Alone the fact that you do answer is really apurricated! :heart:

And well, the content of your answer is somewhat satisfying too! :exploding_head:

edit: as out journey goes on I more and more learn. Team-Jupiter is as selfish and greedy as every other scam-crypto-company.

Alot of shiney blabla and in the background the “rug” is already running.

Rushing towards full decentralization is in no body’s best interest. As OP stated, direct democracy, while having it’s time (setting overall direction), is not the best way to run a DAO’s day-to-day or month-to-month operations.

It’s also great to see proactive steps being taken to protect DAO members especially in light of somewhat recent legal scares (e.g. Ooki DAO).

That said, there are a few features I’d love to see added to Jupiter DAO:

  • On-chain voting and code execution to get us closer to an automatic DAO with a security council veto
  • Delegates to make it possible to have part-time or even full-time contributors to the DAO
  • Delegate incentive programs to encourage valuable contributions from delegates
  • Retroactive funding to encourage building in public

So the underlying business is controlled by the team. Also, the team will have a controlling interest (or near controlling interest) in the DAO. Where do non-team member token holders slot in to have their voice heard, since they’ll surely be a minority group to the team?

team does not have a controlling interest in the DAO. there are more than 400k wallets + ~700m JUP staked.

community members have their voices heard here and in many other places!

I understand the team does not currently have a controlling interest in DAO. I am not talking about 2025, I am looking ahead to 2030.

After Meow’s 2030 allocation what % (or how much) of JUP will have been given to team members? Is there some place where I can find this information?

JUP tokenomics are such that 50% is controlled by the team and 50% by the Community. That is to say 3.5B allocated to each side.

Should the 220M bonus be allocated to Meow in 2030, the split will be 3.72B on the team side (53.14%) to 3.28B on the Community side (46.86%)

Now how much of that 3.72B will have been allocated to team members by 2030 remains to be seen. However, you can keep an eye out for future JUP audits such as this one JUP Community Audit Jul 2024

I like the fact that this resolution proposal got approved by Dao and I will be more interested in a new way of LFG V2. More community engagement like LFG will bring in more Vibes.

No. How do we create value out of Evangelism? Do we get paid for performing a service for Jupiter? Trying to see how that works practically :slight_smile:

Hello Jupiter community and MRs.Kash.

I’m a proud staker on the Jupiter governance platform, and I’d like to share my thoughts on the “Next Two Years: DAO Resolution” proposal. Although the voting period ended on April 27, 2025, and today is May 9, I couldn’t express my views at the time or record them on this amazing platform, so I’m doing so now. As an early investor in Jupiter Exchange, I’ve witnessed firsthand how we’ve become the leading DEX on Solana, driving growth across the ecosystem through decentralization, governance, and a model that sets the standard in the crypto space. I’m deeply committed to continuing this journey of progress, as the significant strides we’ve made—evident across various platforms and throughout Solana—are what make us exceptional and a benchmark in the industry.

I support this proposal because I believe it lays out a strong path for the DAO’s future. The approach of progressive independence over the next two years (until May 2027) makes sense to me: the DAO is still young, and allowing it to mature with the team’s support is a wise decision. I appreciate the clear definition of roles—the DAO as the legislative arm to accelerate product adoption, and the team focusing on development—because it ensures our votes will have a greater impact. Access to the Litterbox Trust (32M $JUP, valued at roughly $15.36M at $0.48/JUP) at the end of this period is excellent news: it secures sustainable funding, which could boost $JUP’s value and benefit all investors like myself. Moreover, the focus on outcomes and talent (via Grants and Work Groups) can further Jupiter’s growth, reinforcing our leadership in Solana and the broader DeFi space.

That said, I do have some concerns. This is the fifth consecutive proposal requesting funding ($10M USDC), and I lack clarity on how the initial $10M was spent or why the original 100M $JUP remains untouched. As a staker and voter, I believe we deserve more transparency. If the previous funds weren’t managed effectively, how can we be confident that this new $10M will deliver real value? The proposal mentions milestones like DAO treasury control (3/5 signatures) and legal incorporation, but it lacks specific timelines or details, which raises doubts about its execution.

Additionally, while I understand the need for the team’s involvement for another two years, it makes me question whether we’re moving fast enough toward true decentralization. As a firm believer in free and decentralized thinking, I feel the DAO should have more operational autonomy now, especially over its treasury. I’m also concerned about the lack of clarity on how “outcomes” will be measured—we need concrete metrics (KPIs) to assess whether funded initiatives truly enhance product adoption or community engagement.

Despite these reservations, I would have voted in favor because I trust Jupiter’s vision. We’re the top DEX on Solana because we always prioritize the community and investors, and this proposal could be another step in that direction. However, I urge the team to provide more transparency on fund usage and clear timelines for the milestones. If we achieve that, I’m confident we’ll continue leading the crypto ecosystem, driving the decentralization and growth that define us.

appreciate your thoughtful comments and your support! agreed that we have room to improve - i’m working now on a dashboard that will track all spending and indeed make that clearer to folks. the Multisigs themslves are on chain and easily checkable in the Transparency Audit, but def we can make it easier to see

This draft lays a solid foundation for the DAO’s evolution. The emphasis on progressive independence and clear delineation between the Team and DAO roles is commendable. To further strengthen this framework, it might be beneficial to:
• Establish transparent criteria for Work Group formation to ensure inclusivity and strategic alignment.
• Implement mechanisms that balance the need for efficient decision-making with broad community participation, perhaps through tiered voting processes.
• Develop sustainable funding models that reduce reliance on the Team over time, fostering true financial autonomy for the DAO.

These steps could enhance the DAO’s resilience and ensure it remains adaptable as it matures. Looking forward to seeing how these ideas evolve in the next iterations of the proposal :slight_smile:
