If you're thinking of sending money to Ben:
It would probably be more beneficial to the world to donate it to your local animal shelter instead.
An ancient rugpull messed with the wrong person, and invoked the wrath of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Jupiter Core Working Group would like to announce the official date of the 2nd LFG Vote:
It will take place on Wednesday April 17th at 5:00 PM UTC — right after the weekly Uplink Call.
Make sure to save the date, as the voting window will last for 3 days.
After meeting with several community leaders over the last few weeks, the Core Working Group has decided to extend our vesting schedule to properly reflect the longer time horizon of this work.
As per the DAO vote, our Jupiter allocation was set to vest on a 2 year timeline.…
There's a new scam hitting the blue chip communities — Famous fox, Claynosaurz, Okay Bears.
And the scary thing is — its a step more realistic than your typical OTC scam:

My name has been cleared!
Thank you

for doing the right thing and issuing a full retraction and apology:
That showed true professionalism.
And an even bigger thank you to my 1,000 Solana friends who came to my aid. Let me know how I can ever return the favor.
@BenArmstrongsX
Ben you publicly flaunted your mistress all over the web and embarrassed your poor wife to millions of people.
You don't have to try to portray yourself as the victim in every circumstance.
Tomorrow the Jupiter DAO officially launches. Here are the 5 key points you need to know:
1⃣ A test vote will take place on Tuesday at 10 AM EST to prepare for the first launchpad vote on Thursday at 10 AM EST.
2⃣ Holders will lock JUP to vote for LFG candidates or proposals.…
The Jupiter Launchpad's 2nd round has officially begun!
We're kicking things off by introducing our first 2 candidates:

@AdrasteaFinance
Make sure to join the Discord — you will not want to miss their AMA next week.
110,000 people have locked up their JUP to vote on the LFG Launchpad today.
Take that number in for a second:
That's more than everyone who bought or sold a Solana NFT in the last month.

The first LFG vote was a huge success!
Over 180,000 people voted, and all 6 candidates benefitted tremendously from participating.
Before the second round kicks off tonight — The Jupiter Core Working Group wants to collect your feedback on the process
👇
Congratulations to
@ZeusNetworkHQ
and
@SharkyFi
on being the first 2 projects chosen by the DAO to launch on Jupiter's launchpad.
And a special thank you to the 200,000 people who locked their JUP to vote.
Your participation made this process a huge success.
Hey

The
@solincinerator
leverages Jupiter to enable users to swap their token rent for tokens other than SOL.
Am I correct in assuming that the thousands of people who have used this functionality would be eligible for the airdrop as well?
A few clarifications:
1. The Zeus Airdrop is independent of the 0.75% launchpad fees used for ASR rewards.
2. All ASR rewards will be distributed linearly, according to your voting weight.
3. ASR rewards will be distributed in July after this voting period.
An alliance has formed to combat the rampant Wallet Drains plaguing Solana.

Some critical information dropped in today's

uplink call, incase you missed it.
Jupiter just announced their 3-pronged strategy to accelerate the Decentralized Meta:
1⃣ The Great Migration(GM):
Trading is the most common way to participate in web3 at this…
I love the discussion were seeing around the Jupiter DAO — this is what participation is all about.
That is why tonight we will be hosting an open townhall to address the community's concerns, discuss ideas, and to clear up any misconceptions.
See you at 9 PM EST.
Looking back, almost all of our assumptions about NFTs were wrong:
PFPs should have been the perfect vehicle to drive community growth.
Groups that adopt them have a distinct advantage by letting its members represent the tribe in a front-facing way.
Yet, the benefits haven't…
This case is absolutely fascinating because of its far-reaching implications.
Most ruggers think they have immunity because this is 'the wild west', or they aren’t American citizens.
But in this instance, the rugger was a French national living in Dubai.
And now he’s looking…
The 2nd LFG vote has ended, with a record 230 million JUP participating.
But before we begin round 3 — the Jupiter Core Working group once again wants to collect your feedback on the process:
👇
Today our team discovered that someone had launched a fake Incinerator token on Birdeye.
As we started to dive into the wallet responsible, things became much more interesting.
16 hours ago he sent himself SOL from Binance, which was the first transaction of the chain of…

@SECGov
The fact that they didn't even attempt to put 2fa on when they wield such power over markets with an utterance is not just embarrassing
Its reckless and irresponsible.
Next Thursday, help us shape the future of Jupiter:
The CWG will be hosting a town hall to chat directly with the community.
Come through if you have feedback or questions!
Is someone building a vetted list of devs in the ecosystem to make it easy to include them in airdrops?
If we can help make our devs wealthy, and not just our traders, our ecosystem will prosper in the long run.
A couple clarifications:
1. The Sharky Airdrop is independent of the 0.75% launchpad fee ASR rewards to be distributed in July.
2. Sharky is currently looking into the airdrop allocations, expect more information soon.

The core 20,000 people on SOL who went through the pain of the FTX blackswan together have now formed the beginnings of a proto-society.
This is something that can't be forced or incentivized, and is responsible for the chain's undeniable resilience.
The Jupiter Uplink call this week has shattered another record with over 18,800 views on Twitter and 2.7k on Zoom.
There's a reason so many people tune into these — Jupiter is one of the most transparent & informative entities in all of web3.
You have been heard:
The Jupiter Core Working Group has integrated your Launchpad feedback, based on the results of the first round.

Thank you to the community for these suggestions, and we look forward to implementing more of your feedback.
Here are the 5 key points you need to know about Jupiter's upcoming Launchpad Vote:
1⃣ The LFG Process
Over 20 projects applied through the forum, with 6 reaching the candidacy stage so far — culminating in next week's DAO vote.
2⃣ The Vote
Each DAO member will choose their…
LFG Launchpad Voting Will Start Next Week!
Besides the airdrop and launchpool mechanisms, LFG is also pioneering a launchpad process where the community takes a leading role in discussing, vetting, voting and performing post-launch analysis together.
Since applications begun…
The NFT space was built on a foundation of sand.
And now, everything we’ve built is crumbling:
1⃣ Absent Communities
Each project has thousands of holders, yet the overwhelming majority of them are never seen.
People are frugal with their time and attention. In each Discord…
If convicted this would be one of the first incidences of a rugpull on Solana receiving legal consequences for their actions.
And the fact that it is an over 2 year old project does not bode well for the hundreds of rugs that took place since.
Organized scam rings undermine our efforts to onboard new users to Solana.
Spreading awareness is the first step in combatting their multi-million dollar operations.
🧵 👇
Pretty damn shameless that every
@DeGodsNFT
I see on
@YawwwNFT
is listed with a 0% creator fee.
Wonder if your NFT would be worth 400 sol if not for the team.
Relationships have to benefit in both directions or the entire system doesn't work.
Next time we give 700,000 SOL to random people:
Can we not give most of it to ETH influencers?
Y'all really seem to love letting liquidity leave the ecosystem.
The 2nd LFG vote has concluded with a record 230.8 million staked JUP participating.
@sanctumso
and
@UpRockCom
placed in the top 2, and will be moving to launch status.
However, I'd like to take this time to personally thank all 6 of the candidates:
🧵(1/3)
It won't change anything, but incase you didn't know many of the people launching these memecoins are actual children.
Last week I saw a project where one dev had to bike to the other's house to get him to burn the LP.
@Slerfsol
We've finally reached it everyone:
The natural consequence of sending 8 figures to strangers on twitter
And its even goofier than I could have ever imagined
The
@solincinerator
just smashed 2 huge records:
We broke 400,000 all-time users
AND
We had our first month ever with 100,000 users.
I would shed a tear, but the salt would burn my sluggy flesh — so I'll just say 'thank you'.
On Monday, SOL flipped ETH in 7-day NFT volume for the first time.
Today it surpassed it by $15 million dollars.
With 12 days left in December, there is a real possibility that SOL also overtakes ETH in monthly volume — marking 2 significant 'firsts' in the same month.
I had no idea Solana NFTs were performing so well.
Usually ETH volume is like 10-12x the amount.
Did a lot more people come over in the last few months?
The first NFT project to settle with the SEC dropped a ton of bombshells during a 3 hour AMA.
I summarized the most important parts below:

Some dude just came into the slug discord and called us a scam because we launched a free mint and don't give holders rev share from the incinerator.
Apparently
*checks notes*
Providing a service to people is now a scam
Hot Take:
The SEC's failure to secure their twitter account has possibly caused more damage to investors than many of the crypto companies they crack-down on.
A friend just came back to the space after a 2 year absence — and was immediately drained for 9 grand.
This isn't an uncommon story, we desperately need a solution.
Idk about you guys but locking a ton of SOL up in a project that just launched less than 24 hours ago promising 10% daily returns to bait people in sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.
I just grabbed my ledger out of storage so I could take part in the Jupiter Launchpad vote.
Don't miss out on taking part in the grand experiment, you only have 24 hours left.
And no, I will not tell you who I'm voting for.

Lazycat Summary:
1⃣ Rewards for ACTIVE participation
2⃣ 50M JUP will incentivize voting this quarter, the other 50M next. Also launchpad fees(0.75% of supply)
3⃣ Rewards are based on how many tokens you vote with. Splitting doesn't get you more.
4⃣ Un-staking takes 30 days.
Honestly, the passion I'm seeing makes me feel inspired about the potential of the Jupiter DAO.
You simply can't get things done without people who really care.
