Proposal: Ideas so MET token do not dump after TGE

Proposals
1

Hi JaunePomme here :red_apple:,

looking at how the market is dry in volume and the poor value of SOL right now, I’m concerned about the future of MET token .
As we can see, the BTC is dominating the market and other alts including SOL are all going -slowly but surely- down, inevitably.
Launching a token right now would be a disaster, FDV would be low, everyone would sell right away to make up for the losses.
I’m trying to come up with some ideas, I hope we can have a debate about some useful ideas so the team may use them.

So how could we make MET token sustainable so less people dump it at tge. :roll_eyes:

  • 1)ASR Rewards (Jupiter inspired) :cherries:

Literally just like the governance system with Jupiter, staking Met and earning on a regular basis MET tokens would be one way to extend the expectancy of the token.
We stake MET, we vote, get some rewards and be part of governance.

  • 2)Reduce the 5% protocol fees based on the amount you hold (Hyperliquid inspired) :grapes:

Hyperliquid announced for the end of April its new system about fees.
Based on a tier list, the more you hold HYPE, the less fees you pay to the protocol.
It’s not much but I think it is interesting for the long term holder who wants to use the product their whole life. In addition, Hyperliquid provides a 2% staking yield, we could have the same.
(Maybe I would even up the protocol fees to 8 to 10% on purpose to have more people using this system)
Staking MET for 2% and this fees reduction system based on a tier list.

  • 3)Buyback Met token (Hyperliquid inspired) :banana:

To help the token survives through different cycles, we could have a buyback using the protocol fees (so we increase it to 10% and half of it would go to the buyback, the other to the protocol for other uses) to just TWAP and buy the MET token automatically.
Basically the fees generated would go back to the users through MET token.

  • 4)Met token unlock powerful features :carrot:

Holding MET tokens would grant you access to new features from the protocol. It would all comes down to what features Meteora could provide to the users tho. I know it’s the best to give as much utility as possible for free. But we could have this system to unlock some powerful bins or special claim button that swaps automatically or closes all bin at once, SL/TP, anything but that would require like a certain amount of tokens, could do a tier list system as well.

  • 5)Bonus reward from launchpad (BNB Binance inspired) :onion:

Holding MET tokens could give us a bonus (fixed allocation) from different launchpad even if we didn’t take part of it (didn’t have time to do it or too busy) so pretty similar to ASR rewards I guess.
Just like when there is a launch on Binance and people just stake BNB to earn the reward.

  • 6)The more tokens, the higher yield (pools) :peach:

When you lend some tokens and get a bonus yield of MET on top of it.
example: I provide 100$ and own 100MET tokens, I earn 5% of yield on it + 1% of MET
The more MET we hold, the more bonus yield we get on top of the one we are already earning.

  • 7)Bonus: Referral system to grow community :lemon:

This one is more for the community than the token itself.
I’m not into referral at all but having a referral system where personA brings personB and personB uses METEORA consistently for half a year, could give a MET reward to personA.
Would have to avoid sybil in that case so up to the team on how to dodge that but could be a way to boost people into growing the community.

That’s all I have for now, would be glad to hear from your ideas as well.

Thank you for the proposal. I’m sure the team has already considered various aspects, and perhaps you can bring new ideas to the table.

For me, the most crucial element that encourages me to hold the token is your “3” point, which can be implemented in various ways. In my opinion, it is essential that a portion of the profits generated in dollars from the platform’s fees goes into the hands of token holders. This approach not only incentivizes holding the token but also fosters a stronger sense of community and shared success.

I know they are building a v2 product but I haven’t heard anything about the token.
I hope they understand that a good token with utility implies a growth in community, like HYPE, it’s attractive to have a token that actually is useful for a tool we use on a daily basis. I use Hyperliquid, ofc I’m happy to stake HYPE so I lower the fees for the use of the product.
Meteora should completely do the same.

Right now I feel like they just want to make a better product… but the product isn’t the problem right here. Imo, they are too product-oriented and not enough on marketing/ecosystem.

every point in proposal are very good and i support look to market conditions before TGE
since TGE is planned for june
i feel market will be good
and when it comes to price even yo have buy backs and reward people price action will always will be as per market
let as many people dump token as much they can it can happen only till certain time
more believers will hold more supply
just look jup in june it will above $1 and jup is more controlled by belivers now
price of token shouldnt be foucs at all
i hope team focus more on coverting daily pumpfun launchers to meteora atleast 20-30%
should launch tokens daily on metora, pumpfun paid few people to launch copins on ever launch for certain time until people understood and started making money
later so many people made threads which are paid promoting how to make money by launching on pumpfun
if meetora focus bring more launches on meteora converting launchers from pumfun
which helps to get to top 1 project and top 1 revenue

o00o i like all the points you brought up

in regards to ASR, don’t know if there is a way where ASR can be claimed in USDC, then participants can decide what they want to do with the USDC

or if a fixed yield % can be used so that the yield doesn’t always go down after each ASR (refer to what is happening with jupiter’s ASR at the moment)

I was more thingking like being rewarded MET tokens, automatically staked and then other launchpads tokens could be given as well.

Jup’s airdrop is powerful and widely recognized. I suggest that Met can learn from Jup and give airdrop rewards to every user. This way, it can be spread, let users feel the benefits, and let users fall in love with Meteora.

Gmet,

Thanks for sharing your opinion @jaunepomme!

Happy to share my feedback below:

1. Replicating Jupiter’s ASR style

:white_check_mark: I’m fully on board.

2 & 3. Buyback and fee discounts

:white_check_mark: I really like the idea, but I wouldn’t touch the current 5% fee structure—it could hurt Meteora’s competitiveness, especially if a strong new player enters the space in the future.

That said, maybe we can imagine a model where:

  • Meteora takes a base 2.5% fee directly.
  • The remaining 2.5% depends on the user’s $MET staking status:
    • If the user is not staking any $MET, the 2.5% goes entirely to $MET buybacks.
    • If the user stakes the full threshold, the 2.5% is fully waived.
    • If the user stakes an intermediate threshold, the user pays 1.25%, which goes to $MET buybacks.

So in practice:

  • Non-$MET stakers still pay the full 5%.
  • Meteora always earns its 2.5%.
  • $MET holders benefit from the remaining 2.5% via discounts, buybacks, or both.

Example: Over the past 2 months, I’ve generated $362K in fees, which means I paid ~$18K. If I had been staking at the top threshold, I would have saved $9K—that’s massive.

4. Special features

:cross_mark: Not a fan.
I believe our top priority should be to make Meteora the most powerful and innovative tool for all users, not just $MET holders.

5. Special allocation

:white_check_mark: Agreed.
Any project launching via Meteora’s launchpad should at least whitelist $MET holders for access to their “alpha vault” (alongside the project’s own allowlist).

6. Higher yield

:cross_mark: I don’t support this.
In my opinion, fee discounts and buybacks already provide strong enough monetary incentives.

7. Referral program

:cross_mark: While I like referrals for bootstrapping new protocols, I don’t think it’s relevant for Meteora at this stage—it’s already well-established.
