Jupiter Innovation: The Core Issue Lies in Pricing and Incentive Imbalance, Requiring a Balance Between Fairness and Efficiency in Mechanism Design

On May 16, Jupiter co-founder Meow stated, "Even though we are advancing various innovative technical solutions to alleviate the 'sniping' issue, we must remember that sniping is essentially an economic and pricing error problem. Therefore, any means to mitigate sniping will, to some extent, impose costs on early buyers (such as longer lock-up periods, higher prices, or fees).

Many issues actually require good design and reasonable trade-offs. For example, deep liquidity pools can significantly reduce volatility, but some users prefer volatility; from the user's perspective, truly serious buyers might prefer to participate later rather than going 'all in' at the start; there is also a lack of user-friendly interfaces in the market to support 'timed launch' purchases.

More fundamentally, we need to develop 'meta strategies' around precise pricing, risk/reward trade-offs, and contributor allocation. However, these topics are often not the focus of frontline participants, and as a result, there is a lack of sufficient incentive mechanisms in the market to truly address these issues."
