[DRAFT PROPOSAL] Strengthening the Jupiter Ecosystem & $JUP Stability (3-Pillar Initiative)

Author: elcapita
Date: 25/04/2025
Status: Draft for Community Discussion

Introduction

Hello Jupnauts!

I’m excited to submit this proposal that combines three strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening Jupiter’s long-term growth: token stability, ecosystem expansion, and long-term staker loyalty.

These ideas were inspired by recent community discussions and concerns about volatility, utility, and sustainability. I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any feedback before we push this forward.

Summary

This proposal outlines a 3-part initiative designed to:

Reduce token volatility and increase investor confidence

Boost ecosystem utility through builder grants and partnerships

Reward long-term $JUP stakers and governance participants

1. JUP Stability Vault (“Price Gravity”)

Objective

Establish a smart-contract based buyback vault to reduce sharp downward price volatility and stabilize the $JUP token.

Mechanism

Allocate 2% of the DAO Treasury (in USDC/SOL) to a vault contract

The vault automatically buys $JUP from the market if the price drops more than 20% within 24 hours (oracle-based trigger)

Purchased $JUP:

Is locked for 6–12 months or

Distributed to stakers/voters via a follow-up DAO vote

Expected Impact

Reduced short-term market panic

Stronger investor trust and long-term positioning

Positive price reinforcement during market dips

2. Ecosystem Builder Boost Program

Objective

Encourage developers and DeFi protocols to integrate Jupiter’s infrastructure (DCA, Aggregator, Limit Orders, Perps) and build on top of it.

Proposal

Launch a builder grant program with a budget of up to 5M JUP, targeting:

dApps using Jupiter tech

Projects integrating $JUP as a utility or staking token

UX/Tooling projects for Jupiter ecosystem

Grant Tiers

Micro ($5K–$10K): indie developers or small tools

Growth ($20K+): larger protocols with TVL or active user base

Distribution

Retroactive or milestone-based

Joint marketing via official Jupiter DAO channels

Expected Impact

Increased real-world use cases of $JUP

Deeper integration of Jupiter into the Solana ecosystem

3. Long-Term Staker Loyalty Program

Objective

Encourage long-term holding and reduce token churn through incentives for staking loyalty.

Mechanism

Introduce a staking multiplier:

6-month lock = 1.25x reward

12-month lock = 1.5x reward

On-chain enforcement via snapshot logic

Optional perks: airdrops, NFT badges, governance boosts

Eligibility

No unstake action during the locked period

Voting optional, but may increase rewards

Expected Impact

Less circulating supply → upward price pressure

Increased community engagement and DAO participation

Conclusion

This proposal aims to position Jupiter as the most resilient, community-powered protocol in Solana DeFi. With price stabilization, ecosystem expansion, and strengthened loyalty, we can take $JUP to the next level — together.

Next Steps

Open this draft for feedback and iteration

Discuss treasury allocation feasibility

Coordinate implementation with multisig and core contributors

Thanks for reading through!

If the community supports this, I’m happy to iterate based on feedback and help coordinate with the Jupiter team or multisig signers to make it happen.

Let’s keep pushing Jupiter to become the most resilient and community-powered protocol on Solana.
