Executive Summary
Jupiter has indisputably cemented its position as the premier liquidity aggregation layer on Solana, driving significant volume through its innovative swap, limit order, DCA, and bridging functionalities. To transcend current achievements and secure long-term, sustainable growth, this proposal outlines a comprehensive, 3-pronged strategic initiative. My objective here is to not only deepen Jupiter’s technical infrastructure but also to cultivate a robust, engaged community and expand the real-world utility of the $JUP token. This initiative comprises of :
1.Jupiter Engagement & Contribution Framework (JECF): A revamped, gamified community incentives hub designed to elevate participation and reward value creation.
2.Strategic Liquidity Provisioning (SLP) Program: A targeted program to fortify liquidity depth across critical trading pairs and foster institutional partnerships.
3.$JUP Utility Expansion Pilots (JUEP):An incubator for innovative real-world and cross-ecosystem applications for $JUP, moving beyond speculative trading.
This integrated approach aims to solidify Jupiter’s market dominance, enhance $JUP’s intrinsic value, and foster a truly decentralized, community-driven ecosystem.
Introduction: The Path Forward for Jupiter
Hello once again Jupnauts
Jupiter’s journey has been remarkable. It’s not just an aggregator; Jupiter is the pulsating heart of Solana’s DeFi, facilitating billions in transactions and providing essential infrastructure. So to look to the next phase of growth, the challenge is clear: how do $JUP transition from a leading product to a self-sustaining, community-powered ecosystem with a token that boasts undeniable utility? This proposal addresses that challenge head-on by focusing on three synergistic pillars that will drive adoption, enhance resilience, and unlock new frontiers for $JUP.
1. Jupiter Engagement & Contribution Framework (JECF)
Objective:
To cultivate a highly engaged, informed, and proactive community that actively contributes to Jupiter’s growth, governance, and cultural footprint, rewarding value creation beyond transactional volume.
Mechanism: The Jupiter Orbit Portal (JOP)*
I propose the development and launch of the *Jupiter Orbit Portal (JOP), a dedicated, gamified platform designed to track, incentivize, and reward community contributions. The JOP will feature:
Tiered XP System & Badges:Users earn Experience Points (XP) for various on-chain and off-chain activities, progressing through loyalty tiers (e.g., Voyager, Pioneer, Guardian). Tiers unlock exclusive benefits and recognition.
Decentralized Governance Participation:
Voting Incentives: Earn XP and direct $JUP rewards for participating in DAO governance proposals, encouraging thoughtful deliberation and active shaping of Jupiter’s future.
Proposal Creation & Discussion: Bonus XP for drafting well-researched proposals and engaging constructively in proposal discussions
Content & Education Creation (“JupFluencers”):
Creator Bounty Program Dedicated bounties and XP for high-quality educational content (guides, tutorials), technical deep-dives, strategic analysis, and creative marketing assets (memes, infographics) that enhance Jupiter’s brand and educate new users.
Community Grants: Small grants available for community-led initiatives that promote Jupiter
Liquidity Provisioning Recognition: While separate from the SLP program, LP commitments will be recognized with XP within the JOP, encouraging long-term staking.
More Ambassador & Referral System:
Onboarding Bonuses: XP and $JUP rewards for successfully referring new users who complete specific actions (e.g., first swap, LP deposit).
More Regional Ambassadors: Structured roles for community members to represent Jupiter in different geographies or language communities.
Community-Led Events: XP for organizing or participating in community calls, workshops, and virtual meetups.
Reward Structure:
Rewards will be dynamic and multi-faceted, including:
Direct $JUP Allocations Proportional to contribution and tier
Exclusive NFTs: Commemorating milestones, specific contributions, or loyalty tiers, offering potential future utility within the Jupiter ecosystem (e.g., boosted rewards, early access)
Access & Perks: Early access to new features, direct channels with core team, exclusive merchandise, and invitations to special events.
Recognition: Leaderboards, public shout-outs, and a Hall of Fame within the JOP.
Expected Impact & KPIs:
Increased Governance Participation: Target 2-3x increase in unique voter addresses and proposal engagements
Content Virality & Education: Double the volume of high-quality, community-generated content, leading to a 20% reduction in common support inquiries
Enhanced Brand Equity: Strengthen Jupiter’s reputation as a community-first protocol, attracting new users organically
Sticky Community: Reduce user churn by fostering a sense of ownership and belonging.
- Strategic Liquidity Provisioning (SLP) Programme
Objective:
To strategically deepen liquidity across Jupiter’s most critical trading pairs, thereby improving pricing, minimizing slippage, and fortifying Jupiter’s position as Solana’s most robust liquidity layer. This will also enhance overall market efficiency and attract larger institutional flows.
Mechanism: Targeted Incentives & Strategic Partnerships
This program will move beyond generic liquidity mining to a more data-driven, strategic approach:
Targeted $JUP Incentives (Initial Allocation: 3M JUP):
Critical Pair Focus: Incentives will be dynamically allocated to specific, high-priority pools (e.g., SOL/JUP, USDC/JUP, SOL/USDC, ETH/JUP, mSOL/JUP) identified via ongoing analysis of trade volume, slippage data, and ecosystem needs.
Concentrated Liquidity Support: Exploring mechanisms to incentivize concentrated liquidity provision on AMMs that support it, maximizing capital efficiency.
Time-Locked Multipliers: Offering boosted $JUP rewards for liquidity providers who commit their capital for longer durations (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days), fostering stability and reducing “farm-and-dump” behavior.
DeFi Protocol
Integration Partnerships:
Lending & Borrowing Markets: Partner with leading Solana lending protocols (e.g., Solend, Marginfi) to facilitate $JUP as collateral or as a borrowable asset, increasing its utility and circulating supply within DeFi.
Vaults & Structured Products: Collaborate with yield aggregators and structured product providers to create $JUP-denominated strategies, offering users diverse ways to earn yield on their $JUP or provide liquidity.
Cross-Chain Bridging Enhancements: Incentivize liquidity for $JUP on key bridging solutions to facilitate seamless movement across ecosystems, expanding market reach
Market Maker Engagement: Explore avenues for deeper collaboration with professional market makers to ensure robust order book depth on integrated DEXs, further reducing slippage for large trades.
Risk Mitigation:
Phased Deployment: Incentives will be released in tranches, with performance reviews at each stage to ensure efficiency
Monitoring & Adjustments: Continuous monitoring of TVL, slippage, and incentive efficacy will inform dynamic adjustments to reward allocations.
Whale Concentration Analysis: Implement measures to prevent excessive concentration of incentives with a few large LPs, encouraging broader participation.
Expected Impact & KPIs:
Superior Execution: Achieve a measurable reduction in slippage for large trades across key pairs (e.g., 15-20% improvement for $100k+ trades).
Increased TVL & Volume: Grow Total Value Locked (TVL) in strategic pools by 30% and contribute to a 25% increase in overall trading volume through Jupiter.
Ecosystem Integration: Secure partnerships with at least 3-5 major Solana DeFi protocols for $JUP integration within 6-12 months.
Market Resilience:Enhance Jupiter’s ability to absorb large trades and market volatility without significant price impact.
3. $JUP Utility Expansion Pilots (JUEP)
Objective:
To strategically transition $JUP beyond its current primary use case as a governance and trading token, by pioneering innovative real-world and cross-ecosystem utility, thereby creating sustainable demand and broadening its appeal to non-DeFi native users.
Mechanism: The $JUP Innovation Grant Fund (Initial Allocation: 1M JUP)
A dedicated grant fund will be established to seed and accelerate pilot projects demonstrating novel use cases for $JUP. This fund will operate with clear milestones and performance metrics.
