The Good Cats initiative, a hallmark of Jupuary, was designed to recognize and reward the most dedicated members of the jupiverse community,creators, developers, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and active community participants who have significantly contributed to the Jupiverse. Launched last year to foster participation in the Jupiter DAO, this initiative has played a pivotal role in building a committed core community. Below is a detailed report on the 2025 Good Cats program, including outcomes, processes, and future plans.
Key Highlights
- Acknowledge and reward active contributors with staked JUP to encourage deeper engagement in the Jupiter DAO.
- Contributions from November 2023 to November 2024.
- Community members submitted their stories via the Good Cats form, sharing their contributions to the Jupiverse.
- Eligible participants can view their allocation status on their profiles at https://jupuary.jup.ag/good-cats.
- Those eligible must submit a wallet address by Sunday, April 13, 2025, to claim staked JUP later this month.
Allocation Process
The allocation process was thorough and deliberate to ensure fairness and alignment with Jupiter’s ethos:
1. Each submission was reviewed twice by the Catdet Work Group to evaluate contributions.
2. The Jupiter team further calibrated allocations, with a focus on uplifting lesser-known or "shy" contributors.
3. The growing size of the community made it harder to track individual contributions. External factors, such as macro pressures and community discourse, added complexity to the process.
4. Not all applicants received an allocation, as JUP is a precious resource reserved for those with significant contributions during the specified timeframe.
Allocation Details
- Form of Reward: Staked JUP, aligning with the Active Staking Rewards (ASR) model to incentivize DAO participation.
- Allocation Size: This year’s allocations are smaller compared to last year, which recognized contributors who endured two years of a bear market pre-token launch.
- Eligibility: Based on contributions from November 2023 to November 2024. Newer active members may not be included but will have future opportunities.
- Community Vote: The Good Cats initiative and its allocation were approved during Jupuary 2025, ensuring transparency and community alignment.
Feedback and Communication
- Open Channel: Community members are encouraged to provide feedback or address concerns by direct messaging the team. Responses will be provided as soon as possible.
- Error Correction: If any mistakes were made in the allocation process, participants are invited to reach out to the team for resolution.
Future of Good Cats
This is likely the final year for the Good Cats initiative in its current form. Originally designed to bootstrap Jupiter’s core community, the program has achieved its goal of fostering an engaged, committed group of contributors. As Jupiter transitions into a new phase with a significantly larger community, the team plans to evolve its initiatives to better suit the project’s scale and objectives. Future programs will aim to continue rewarding contributions while adapting to the needs of a broader Jupiverse.
Call to Action
Eligible Good Cats are encouraged to:
- Submit a wallet address by April 13, 2025, to claim staked JUP.
- Use their staked JUP to vote and participate in the Jupiter DAO, shaping the future of the Jupiverse.
- Share feedback to help refine future community initiatives.
The Good Cats initiative has been a heartfelt way to celebrate the contributors who have made Jupiter what it is today. The team expresses deep gratitude to all participants for their stories, dedication, and role in building the Jupiverse. As Jupiter enters its next chapter, we look forward to seeing Good Cats and new community members alike drive the DAO forward with their votes and voices.
