It’s funny to me that every time someone comes up with a constructive criticism or suggestions about integrating jup and giving some real value people feel like they’ve been pissed on their parade. I believe that a strong jup makes a strong DAO hence a strong protocol and these things are mutually exclusive. Now some of you might think that the team can do nothing wrong and is really hard to think otherwise, but believe you me they can make mistakes. There was a time, not long ago that everyone including Meow was like “everything is a meme” slogan, well we all now what happened. It’s about time that we start shipping real decentralisation and fast in our DAO. P.s. decentralisation to me it’s about single point of failure not just the amount of smth. North Korea has got millions of people but we all know how centralised and who holds real power there. Firedancer it’s not only great because it’s a elegantly and better code it’s because it’s giving Solana a better defence against attacks as a second client.

If I didn’t invest I would be here and people who were lucky to get Good-cats allocation we’re not lucky just that they worked towards it, nobody promised them anything before jupnuary event. every successful team need social media content writer or creator who give more visibility to the product though I was around on X and discord then just that I missed out on the form base on my busy schedule. If you mean those Good-cats are not useful at least they’re better than kols some project use to yaps about their product.
No paid influencers just community members who supported the project they invest on because they have valuable things to offer unlike other Airdrop hunter who get pissed off because team don’t recognise them as Good-cats. Alot of Good-cats built some tools that is useful for community today.

You can be well constructive without always being critic and complain about stuff team doesn’t have power over, the price of Jup can always continue to go higher if community stand with the token though team made some mistakes regarding a particular proposal and issue of Meteora sage that cause serious FUD to the Token mistakes are always bound to happen but we can all agreed to move on without getting distracted again or try to bring in FUD.
Question, mention one Jupiter product if team integrate $Jup into it the price of $Jup will skyrocket? Because I can see you talk about Jup integration to product.

I’m not knocking the people who got Good Cats — I know some of them have done solid work and built useful tools. That’s not the issue.
What I’m pointing out is the imbalance. If the only clear path to being recognized or rewarded is by creating content or getting into the inner loop early, then what’s left for everyone else who believed, invested, and held .
Every project needs creators. But it also needs to respect the people who backed it with their money and trust. And that’s the part that gets overlooked.
In the end, the team raised a substantial amount of money from real investors when they sold the token. The communication back then was clear: JUP would be the centerpiece of the Jupiter ecosystem. It would grow with the products being built. “Be a part of our journey.” People didn’t just gamble — they bought into that vision.
Now the message has flipped to: “We didn’t promise you anything. JUP was always just a governance token. Everyone knew there’d be 10 billion.” Come on. Do you really think people would’ve bought millions of tokens if it was pitched as a meme coin with voting rights over grant proposals and community vibes? A token with no utility, no tie-in to the products, and no need to hold it for anything?

Other projects are getting this right. Take BNB - it holds value because it’s deeply integrated into the Binance ecosystem: fee discounts, staking, launch access, and real burn mechanics tied to usage. It rewards people for holding, not just for posting memes.
With over 80 giga brains on the Jupiter team, I’m pretty sure we could adopt at least some of the methods the competition uses to reward their most loyal investors. JUP shouldn’t have to rely on vibes alone.

“Question, mention one Jupiter product if team integrate $Jup into it the price of $Jup will skyrocket? Because I can see you talk about Jup integration to product.” The OP already given them. The way I see it unless some of the revenue goes back to buy back jup and burn it jup as a token has got no value.

80 giga brains that deserve tens of millions of jups by 2030 sir, please don’t forget! @meow @Kash
Tbh , don’t know about kash credentials, i know he surely didn’t decipher some ancient hieroglyphs using ai, I guess a few millions $ in 2030 is good, for whatever he’s worth for

I understand it might be satire, but this post doesn’t help the cause or push your initial message/arguments forward. 
I know you are frustrated. I’m down bad, and it makes me sad, too. However, the only way to push for change is by being civil and persistent. I’m gonna keep posting ideas that I have even though it feels futile at times. The DAO side of things still needs a lot of work, but I think Jupiter still has a top tier product suite. You’re better than this, Mr. Orange! 
We need to continue to make good-faith arguments and hopefully try to make positive change.
You’re right — it comes from frustration. Not just with the token, but with how quickly the whole thing shifted. JUP went from “core of the ecosystem” to a marketing budget for vibes and early insiders. Meanwhile, those who believed in the long-term vision are quietly diluted while the narrative moves on.
What really stings is that the few who got close to the team are now the loudest voices telling others not to ask questions about value or utility. It’s ironic — the same project that preached decentralization now treats that kind of curiosity as a nuisance.
The Research Forum clearly has limited reach. With over 400,000 people in the DAO, it’s kind of wild that only around 150 read this post. That tells you everything. Honestly, I’d probably have more impact just posting this on X — and maybe that’s what I should start doing. Still, I appreciate you taking the time to read it here.

One can fam $Jup the right way by staking enough $Jup, participating in votes and using Jupiter products.

ASR is 40% stacked your JUP at Rain.fi. Get 70% loan. Repeat the loop.
Now your APR is 68%

Are you sure “IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PRICE” ?
Let’s be real for a second.
Every time someone raises concerns about $JUP, the same line gets thrown around — “you’re just mad about the price.” But this has never been just about price. It’s about value, utility, and the promises that were made.
If I were here to flip a bag, I’d be long gone. Instead, I’ve spent months reading proposals, tracking treasury moves, showing up, speaking up — because I believed JUP would be something more. A token with purpose. A stake in the future of Jupiter.
And then we get a deal like Huma.
Their token has real mechanics: protocol revenue, on-platform utility, actual yield. Meow bought into their first round — not just for vibes, but because their token is designed to benefit if the protocol succeeds.
Now Huma, with Jupiter’s backing, could become a serious player.
People brag they’ve lowered their average entry thanks to ASR and GoodCats. Great. But most of us didn’t invest for farming games. We bought in because JUP was sold as the centerpiece of the ecosystem — not a governance prop, not a meme.
All while we’re told: “Community eats first.”
At the time, that line hit hard — it sounded like a promise. That JUP holders would be first in line to benefit from Jupiter’s success. That rewards, utility, influence, and upside would flow first to the people who showed up early, staked, voted, believed.
We thought it meant:
- JUP would be deeply integrated into the core products
- The community would help steer strategy and share in protocol growth
- That buybacks, burns, or yield would make holding JUP feel like ownership — not just optics
But what do we actually have?
- No direct value capture
- No platform benefits
- No roadmap for JUP utility in Jupnet or beyond
- And a governance system that’s still struggling to get past the training wheels phase
So yeah, “Community eats first” sounded great.
But a year later, it’s starting to feel like a slogan to keep the crowd calm
If Huma’s token makes sense to buy — then so should ours. We should bring that kind of utility to $JUP. Either through Huma, or by building it ourselves. We’ve got 80+ giga-brain builders.
