Intro
Jupiter Product Academy: 8-Week Audit & Evolution
Over the past 8 weeks, the Jupiter Product Academy Work Group ran an ambitious onboarding and education initiative designed to help more users understand, adopt, and evangelise Jupiter’s growing product suite.
This blog post provides a full audit of what we built, what we learned, how funding was spent, and where we’re heading next.
This was done voluntarily.

Whiteboard Explainer Series

- First 3–4 videos were produced pre-funding to establish proof of work.

Challenges & Adaptations
1.
Quality Control Early On
- Initial videos used AI voiceovers, which drew feedback.
- Lochie upgraded equipment and re-recorded all future episodes for a more authentic feel.
2.
Process Misalignment
- Some friction emerged when videos were released before guides were ready.
- Changes to time comittement expectations for each memeber
- Ultimately led to a respectful split:
- Shiva continues as Jupiter Product Academy
- Lochie rebrands to Jupiter Evangelism WG
3.
Telegram Moderation
- Early raids led to 50+ spammy comments on posts… people thought we were bots
- New structure: Precision over volume
- Some users exploited the invite code system via mutual friends — flagged and banned.
- Prize format evolved to random draw based on activity to keep it fair.
4.
Distribution Limits
- Video quality not initially suitable for Jupiter’s official YouTube.
- Rather than fragment the audience with a new channel, focused on reach via X and TG.
- Future plan: Upgrade visuals and editing to reach YouTube quality standards.
** The Future of Evangelism**
With the initial grant complete, both Lochie and Shiva are pursuing complementary but independent paths:
Lochie: Jupiter Evangelism WG
- Continues weekly whiteboard explainers
- Biweekly Jupiter Highlight videos with Ordi
- Manages TG group with 13 more weeks of funded prizes
- Will return unspent onboarding funds if program ends
- Building an internal guide for effective onboarding techniques
- Exploring the idea **IRL onboarding content ** (similar to Uplink) and scaling TG back to 200+ members
- May launch @JupiterEvangelism X account if needed
- Interested in 3-month budget extension via core team or Kash
Shiva: Jupiter Product Academy
- Continues to write product guides and Jupiter Wiki
- Interested in IRL onboarding and education
- Maintains a separate direction but with alignment in goals
Final Reflections
-
This was a true community experiment:
-
We built from scratch.
-
We improved with every piece of feedback.
-
We adapted when things didn’t work.
-
We stayed aligned on helping new users feel confident with Jupiter.
-
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built and even more excited about what comes next.
-
If you’ve supported, shared, or participated in any way: thank you.
-
Pursuing seperate paths.
-
We’re just getting started.
Thanks for reading
