> The potential zeroing of arbitrage volume would also have little effect on the allocations per user. The reason for this is that although there is **$124.2 Billion arb volume** on the pairs SOL-USDC, USDT-USDC and SOL-USDT alone ([source](https://dune.com/ilemi/jupiter-aggregator-solana)) representing **37.3% of the 333B total volume** , most of this volume is likely made by users doing millions of $USD in trading volume at the $1M+ tier 1. At the highest tier, more volume doesn’t further increase ones airdrop allocation as there is no higher tier to reach.

> About high volume (arbitrage) bots, per my proposal they would not get more than 9,045 JUP + 10 JUP for the $10M+ tier. Even if they did $100M or $500M or Billions in volume. That is the reason for making it tiered, and not linear.

For example, the **2 wallets that did \>500M in volume were purely arb traffic.** While our share of user volume has greatly increased over time, arb bots consisted of a fairly large volume, especially early on in the cycle.
