Jupiter DAO has launched a governance vote on whether or not JUP & JUICE Media Studio would be made an official Full Working Group. The proposal, available from June 2 through June 6, seeks authorization to allocate an official budget and secure a long-term role for the previously unofficial media collective.
With over 449 million votes cast—well above the 198 million required for quorum—the people are weighing in on the vote.
Results-Driven Grassroots Media
Since late 2024, JUP & JUICE functioned as a de facto media department within the Jupiter ecosystem. Without a production budget line item, the team has created:
- Over 60 podcasts
- Over 200 videos
- 7.5 million+ impressions
Their efforts have supported product launches and championed Jupiter through strategic collaborations with projects like Pudgy Penguins, Star Atlas, and Bonk.
Budget and Objectives Submitted
The team’s proposal is for a budget spanning a year with:
- $282,000 USDC for operations and salaries
- 355,000 JUP tokens locked to align with long-term incentives
JUP & JUICE vows to amplify Jupiter’s message and the ecosystem’s identity on three main pillars:
Community Unification
Creating frequent, bite-sized material to allow members to learn about product drops and ecosystem development.
Ambassadorship
Creating collaborations with leading crypto projects to make Jupiter more prominent and acquire new users.
Showing DAO Members
Emphasizing individual creators and their projects to humanize the DAO experience and make it more tangible.
Working to “Unify the Jupiverse”
JUP & JUICE argues that the rush of development at Jupiter often leaves communication gaps that disengage the community. They want to bridge those gaps as a respected, agile media center based on the DAO’s culture.
If approved, the transition would be a new milestone in decentralized governance, where media is not just outside hype—but an organic, community-centric element of the DAO itself.
