The path to success on Solana isn’t built by isolated projects, but by a mutually supportive ecosystem. From the beginning, Jupiter has understood this principle, which is why we’ve always prioritized building up and empowering other projects that bring real value.
Many will remember how, in the early days, we were a pillar for Meteora. It wasn’t just “support”; it was a collaboration based on the belief that their liquidity protocol was essential for Solana’s growth. Our liquidity, our infrastructure, and our visibility helped Meteora get established.
That’s why it’s discouraging to see some in the Meteora community oppose the idea of incentivizing liquidity on Jupiter. The narrative that this airdrop will make them rich and retire them and allow them to buy Lambos is, frankly, worrying.
While some fear their airdrop will get diluted, they forget a basic principle: reciprocity. Don’t they see this is common in our space? Projects give airdrops to other communities, and even to NFT holders from other collections, to foster collaboration and cross-chain liquidity.
And let’s not forget what we did. Jupiter, a massive project, gave a gigantic airdrop to the entire Solana community with no complaints or protests. Why? Because we understand that liquidity and participation benefit everyone.
When a project like Jupiter provides liquidity, it reduces slippage, improves trading routes, and attracts more capital to Solana. This isn’t a zero-sum game.
It’s time to remember what brought us here: honor, collaboration, and a long-term vision. It’s not just about earning points or tokens, but about building an ecosystem where everyone can thrive. Reciprocity is the foundation of a healthy ecosystem. Let’s not forget that.
A rising tide lifts all boats. Let’s focus on the tide, not just one boat.
