The neighborhood group governing selections on Solana-based decentralized alternate Jupiter on Sunday handed a long-awaited vote to permit two incentives of $860 million (price of tokens at present costs) every over two years, shifting the associated JUP token’s fundamentals.
The proposal was a part of the “Jupuary” vote #2, which was modified and refloated after the preliminary vote failed to achieve neighborhood favor. Jupuary is the protocol’s title for an annual JUP token airdrop in January to customers based mostly on how they interacted with it within the previous yr.
Say what you’ll about @weremeow and @JupiterExchange, however rallying the neighborhood from a bleak 58% to a powerful 87% approval isn’t any small feat.
Imo, @jup_dao is making Web3 historical past as the primary DAO to actually pay attention and adapt to its neighborhood’s considerations. 🪐 pic.twitter.com/O2ZXORoQAq

The revised vote modified how tokens can be distributed to customers with extra checks to forestall tokens from going to mercenary airdrop farmers — who usually work together with any protocol just for rewards.
“Most effort needs to be made to make sure that JUP goes to the appropriate individuals who have a very good probability to change into long run members – not farmers or overly centered on minority set of customers,” founder “meow” wrote in a November proposal. “Portion of the allocation will go into incentivizing holding, shopping for and voting by the yr.”
“We will probably be hyper centered on together with as many actual customers as attainable, utilizing key parameters like precise holdings, participation within the ecosystem, and consistency/place of utilization. Notably, not like the primary Jupuary, bots will probably be explicitly excluded,” meow added on the time.
A snapshot of eligibility was taken in November. A hyperlink to verify eligibility will probably be obtainable later within the month, whereas the precise airdrop is scheduled for the next month.
JUP costs are down 7% previously 24 hours amid a broader market decline.
