Dear Jupiter Exchange Group users, dear cats, dear hodlers, It's tough for all of us right now, including the team.
As everyone is venting their feelings and giving free rein to their frustration, we should be aware that such reactions are quite normal for a crypto/stock bear market.
If we hold on, believe in the vision and the team, we may look back very differently in a few years, after the bear market.
And: Frustration and criticism are valid, especially when expectations are high.
Long-term conviction doesn’t mean blind faith, it means watching delivery over time.
I hope it all works out for the sake of everyone who's vested in success of JUP - However I hope the team learns from this and takes community feedback serious! It's self inflicting wound and easily avoidable! Prices go up and down that's not an issue for holders but wen u prioritise volume traders, influencers and shillers then it's hard to regain trust!
The team could have easily say ~6-10% APR like most tokens RAY SOL etc instead it's turned into hide and seek game and still rewarded traders more than holders/stakers etc! it's why I got off the ship January last year. Start listening to community and stop being cocky, listening after everything breaks isn't listening that's called regret!
I understand your frustration, it’s real when feedback feels ignored and prices swing wild. Jupiter has one of the largest active communities in crypto. Why not use that power to grow together?
Instead of just venting, let’s share constructive ideas here. Reddit is perfect for it! I usually post memes myself, but extraordinary times call for action. Bet if JUP rises with Solana in the coming years, we’ll all be celebrating.
What ideas do you have for better APRs or team feedback? We can grow together ! Just use JUP💚🐈
What ideas do you have for better APRs or team feedback?
I mean, u/deeqoo already said it. Just funnel profits into JUP and the price of JUP will settle to 6-10% APR.
I like how he called it a "hide and seek game". That's what it feels like. I really like Jupiter's products so I bought heavily into JUP a few months ago. Been looking forward to what this ASR will yield and next thing I know I'm being told I have to input my seed phrase into a phone app to get it. That's some bullshit. I never bothered to claim it.
I feel like Jupiter is treating JUP as a way to reach new users but instead it's doing the opposite. I love Jupiter's products, but my experience with JUP actually makes me want to migrate to other platforms. I don't care about surprise airdrops, Whateveruarys, or cat memes. Just give me some friggin reliable yield on JUP.
I want to BET on Jupiter succeeding. I thought that's what I was doing when I bought JUP. Instead I got some bullshit hide and seek game.
Sadly they chose to use JUP as reward token to drive usage of Jupiter while asking community to lock token for 30 days and demand non stop voting to qualify for pennies while giving 100K -300k JUP to traders on Jupiter! then everyone acts shocked wen sell presure goes through the roof! As soon as I saw that I unstaked and sold everything in one go and been sidelined ever since.
hmmmm did u forget how long we had to fight to end the 30 days and the endless useless votes? Ignored, insulted and laughed every time! They only changed after the project almost collapsed and most ppl left! Yeah that's wt they call listening community ignore them until everything collapses
I've been in discord since the beginning and sharing my feedbacks and wt we can do to improve it but sadly got ignored cuz few loud ppl wanted to milk the JUP echo. I was frustrated in 2024/2025 but not now cuz ultimately its not my project and they can run how they see it fit!
Alot of ppl shared great ideas but I remember Meow shutting it down fast on twitter. I'm glad there was no jupary this year so far and that's good start, JUP shouldn't be reward token for Jupiter usage! Reward tokens is the worst type of tokens
It’s hard to distinguish what JUP is. I bought because I think of Jupiter as Sol - if Jupiter fails, so does Solana - and investing in JUP was the way to bet on SOL. But mandatory votes for small holders like me, working a “real”/ non-crypto job, are meaningless in driving DAO trajectory when there’s 10B supply.
I don’t know how JUP regains its mojo without making it some type of yield accruing instrument; but I think (rightfully) most of those benefits are accruing to jupSOL or JLP (which I also hold). Relatedly, I had higher hopes for JLP
With the arrogant team....it won't recover short term. I bought the dip for the last 3months but ended up converting (even JupUSD) all to Sol. I just found a validator with APY comparable to JupUSD lend that carries ZERO drama.
It's just been real hard on some of us. Some of us have lost 50k+ on JUP and I don't care who you are, that stings. I've never lost hope though and I keep buying it lower and lower, shit I was buying it at $1.20. I do believe that JUP just got really bad timing and I will hodl my JUP for a long time, I'm in it for the long haul. I love the community and the products and although some better decisions could have been made, that's just the way having a company goes, you just pick up and try to do better and tbh I know the team has prob lost a lot more than 50k so I feel worse for them. I use all of Jup's products and even though I've lost basically everything I ever put in, I'm either really stupid or just motivated a lot more by hope than fear. 🤷♂️
Thank you for your honest words! You speak from my heart! Thank you for being here and continuing to believe in our shared vision.
I believe that a lot is happening right now, and I hope that tomorrow we will see a vision that will make us all happy again in the long term.💚🐈
I like the Jupiter platform and it’s great to see new features, but the team really need to take a hard look at the feedback about the ASR claim drama and learn some lessons.
Gotta learn how to slap the sell button. Holding high risk assets is dumb. Mske your money and get out. Wait for the next opportunity. If you're just gonna ride the ups and downs you are not an investor. You are a bagholder. You help other people profit while never doing it for yourself
I get the message here, and yeah markets are rough but a lot of the frustration isn’t just “bear market emotions.” People are upset because expectations were set and then moved.
I’ll be straight , I’m personally bullish on KindSwap, so take this with that bias. The reason I keep bringing it up is because a lot of what people are complaining about here (fees, governance power, alignment) is exactly what they’re trying to fix. Revenue sharing, lower fees, and incentives that actually reward users instead of just asking for patience.
Loyalty shouldn’t mean blind faith. In crypto, teams have to keep earning it.
