Quick takeaways

  • The Jupiter airdrop on Solana is expected to bring more attention to the ecosystem and serve as a potential index token for Solana.
  • Blockchain projects should differentiate themselves by being radically different, like Solana did with its programming language (Rust) and emphasis on a substantial number of validators.

Deep dives

Token Projects and Improvement of the System

Many token projects, including Margin, Communal, and Tensor, are speculated to release their own tokens. The example of Jupiter using open source code from GITO for their airdrop demonstrates the trend of building on existing successful projects and improving the overall system.
