Instead of suspending voting, which can result in dilution of ASR by non-active stakers, we should use a lightweight, on-chain check-in system that rewards active engagement without requiring divisive votes until DAO 2.0 launches.
How It Works:
Quarterly Structure:
Each quarter is divided into four check-in windows, roughly one per 3 weeks.
Check-In Mechanism:
During each check-in window, a staker must sign a simple transaction (no vote or opinion required) to prove active presence and engagement.
Check-in announcements will be made in advance.
Each window stays open for 4 days.
Signing the check-in costs negligible gas and records a timestamp on-chain.
ASR Calculation:
The amount of ASR earned that quarter is proportional to the number of check-ins completed.
4 check-ins = 100% of that quarter’s ASR
3 check-ins = 75%, and so on.
No Opinions Required:
This system avoids voting fatigue and drama while still rewarding active, present participants.
Benefits:
Reduces FUD by eliminating polarizing votes
Encourages consistent engagement from stakers
Keeps rewards merit-based, not just passively earned
Maintains on-chain accountability and transparency
Lightweight UX with minimal friction
Conclusion
This proposed check-in system is a middle path: it replaces contentious votes with a neutral activity that still proves participation. It gives stakers something to do without forcing them to take sides, and it keeps ASR distribution tied to verifiable on-chain behavior.
I fully support this and this accomplishes the core ask that my other proposal ( DAO pause and the new ASR structure) does, without the need for mock/fun votes.
The more that can be done to maintain the current ASR whilst proceedings are paused the less likely this quieter governance period will impact token price/holders. Supporting.
This mechanism or something similar is absolutely necessary.
If there isn’t some mechanism for the team wallets to “opt-out”, then that means that a large portion of the ASR tokens will go to them, even though they had agreed not to participate in voting to avoid that scenario.
Please reference the two threads on this topic here:
This is a great idea, at least if votes can’t determine active wallet for rewarding users and as the name of the program implies, active staking rewards. Let introduce active actions to curb non active dilution.
suppose If 100 million tokens are staked in inactive or possibly dead wallets that do not participate in governance, those wallets will still passively accumulate staking rewards (ASR). However, they must manually claim those rewards for them to be added to their staked position. the rewards will remain unclaimed indefinitely.
well if someone says those unclaimed could have let some dedicated staker increase his position, but did u advocated for the same when teams were voting ?
It should be based on whoever voted in the most recent JUP and JUICE vote, those who stake new JUP, and those who opt in. It seems silly to force those who voted in the most recent JUP and JUICE vote to do meaningless pulse checks (especially for those of us with multiple stake wallets, for which no consolidation tool has been provided…).
An added benefit is security.
I have a sense of security in my staked jup because it takes 30 days to unstake, and usually, there is a voting activity within 30 days which, as well, helps to keep tabs on the security status of the wallet.
These check ins as proposed will help otherwise inactive stakers monitor if there wallet is still secured or hacked, as i expect a hacker will immediately try to unstake jup tokens.
It should be nice but maybe let it be like the votes, let the check-in be available for 3-4 day. And maybe do one each month. So 3 check-ins in total per asr. So if you miss 1 vote you lose 33.3% of your asr.
agreed, anything to help being more diluted is needed. I’m really against jupuary so ASR also decreasing hurts me from loving this project and my bag lol
To my mind, this idea is correct. I think that implementing this idea will allow us to clean Jupiter community from bots and to implement a fair distribution of rewards
It’s the idea of daily rewards popularised years ago in F2P mobile games.
And even earlier by things like Foursquare.
Just checking into an app has proved not very valuable.
If you could add one or two simple actions to that check in this would be a lot better.
Could you have a basic “like and share this X post” task with the check in and then have that engagement spread out across the various Jupiter products over time?
It’s got to be better than simply clicking a button.
I think we need more low stakes votes TBH.
On stuff like what gets posted on social media and what the next DRiP account drop will be.
Not every vote needs to be super serious.
Not everyone uses Twitter. Checking the pulse is boring. Because now it’s just a reward for staking time - it’s also good. Someone wants to get more and not share ASR with inactive stakers. Don’t be greedy. Just keeping JUP on staking is beneficial for everyone.
