Problem

Carrots were promised as part of Jupuary 2025, but have not been fully distributed yet. The primary concern raised against distributing them is potential dilution and short-term sell pressure.

Solution

Use the carrots as a one-time, Long-Term Staking Rewards (LTSR) program that:

  • Requires new JUP to be purchased and staked

  • Rewards longer commitment with higher weight

  • Spreads unlocks over multiple years

  • Preserves normal governance voting power

  • Avoids immediate market impact

How It Works

Eligibility Window

  • Users must purchase and stake new JUP by midnight March 1, 2026 (UTC)

  • Stake duration choice: 1 to 4 years

Time Multiplier (Linear)

Time-Weighted Stake = JUP Staked Ă— Time Multiplier

Carrots Distribution Formula

Carrots are distributed when a user’s stake unlocks. Their share of the Carrot Pool is linearly determined based on their Time Weighted Stake relative to the Total Time Weighted Stake of everyone.

(User Time-Weighted Stake / Total Time-Weighted Stake) Ă— Carrots Pool

This ensures:

  • No dilution from passive holders

  • Rewards go to those who commit capital and time

  • Unlocks are naturally staggered over 1–4 years

Governance Rules

  • Staked JUP retains normal voting power (not time-weighted)

  • As usual, when <30 days remain to unlock, voting power decreases linearly

  • No cancel-unstake option (to keep mechanics simple and predictable)

  • After unlock, users may claim back their original JUP and their LTSR and restake if they wish

Why This Works

  • Addresses dilution concerns

  • Requires net new buy pressure

  • Incentivizes long-term alignment

  • Spreads future unlock risk across years

  • Honors the original carrot promise (to incentivize buying and staking of JUP) in a way that strengthens staking, governance, and price stability simultaneously

This turns the carrots from a source of concern and ridicule into a mechanism for long-term alignment and growth.

This don’t fly.

Carrots was dangled to “trick” people (it is turning into a really nasty lie atp) into staking there jupuary 2025 drop throughout 2025,

And also, cunningly wafted into conversations to push adoption of some products, strong example being the jup mobile wallet.

The funds don’t need a new purpose now, disburse them for the purpose/tasks the community was made to believe it would reward. Simple.

And what’s with Jupiter promising airdrops, and failing to deliver them, and just going mute about the whole thing right after.

Your community never demanded for these giveaways,

You came out by yourselves to promise all these, and then go silent on them when it’s time to deliver, and just gaslight with ridiculous excuses and total silence.

Very silly shenanigans. Totally unnecessary.
