Jupiter DAO has opened a governance vote on the "zero net emissions" proposal for the JUP token, which will last until February 22. The proposal aims to improve the current price performance of JUP, which is at a historical low, by canceling the Jupuary airdrop event in 2026 to avoid further dilution of the token.The vote consists of two options: Option One is to proceed with the Jupuary airdrop as originally planned, which will launch an airdrop query tool and distribute 200 million JUP about a week after the voting ends, while continuing the existing team allocation and Mercurial incentive program; Option Two is to indefinitely postpone the Jupuary airdrop, returning the prepared 700 million tokens to the community's cold multi-signature wallet, while suspending the release of the team's reserve allocation. If Option Two is approved, Jupiter will use balance sheet funds to buy back tokens released in the market to offset the selling pressure from Mercurial holders.

Aave Labs has initiated a Temp Check proposal to token holders, requesting approximately $50 million in funding in exchange for directing all revenue from Aave-branded products into the Aave DAO treasury.The proposal includes up to $42.5 million in stablecoins ($25 million base grant and $17.5 million milestone rewards) and 75,000 AAVE tokens (approximately $8 million). In return, Aave Labs will allocate 100% of the revenue from all products, including aave.com, the planned Aave Card, and Aave Pro, to the DAO. This proposal has raised concerns within the community about the concentration of voting power. Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, pointed out that this funding package represents a significant portion of the DAO treasury and questioned whether the 75,000 AAVE token grant could lead to excessive concentration of voting power, calling for the proposal to be split and for the recipients to disclose their holding addresses.Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that this move would shift the DAO towards a "token-centric" model, enhancing its ability to fund growth and execute buybacks. The proposal is currently in the opinion-gathering stage.

According to The Block, Aave Labs has proposed a framework proposal to transfer 100% of the revenue from all Aave brand products to the Aave DAO treasury, and to transfer the related trademarks and intellectual property to the newly established Aave Foundation, while requesting funding support from the DAO for its operations.According to the proposal, Aave Labs will forgo all revenue from future business lines such as Aave v3, v4 protocols, aave.com frontend revenue, Aave Card, and AAVE ETF. In exchange, it requests the DAO to commit to providing $25 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE to cover operational expenses, as well as applying for five grants of $3 million each for the development and marketing of Aave App, Aave Pro, and Aave Card, along with $2.5 million for Aave Kit.Aave Labs stated that the v4 architecture will enable revenue models that were difficult to achieve in previous versions, planning to gradually adjust v3 parameters to guide migration 8-12 months after the v4 launch. The proposal also requests the DAO to coordinate with Labs on v4 development and to postpone the development of new features for v3.Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, expressed opposition to this. Zeller described it as a "disguised attempt at cashing out under the guise of goodwill," claiming that Labs is trying to use a radical proposal as leverage in negotiations, "attempting to impose outcomes regardless of the governance process." He estimates that Labs' actual funding request is around $50 million and questions its governance legitimacy.

The Solana ecosystem issuance platform MetaDAO has encountered its first failed ICO project, Hurupay. The project launched on February 3, 2026, with a minimum fundraising goal of $3 million. Ultimately, only about $2,003,593 was raised (approximately 67% of the minimum target). Due to not reaching the stipulated minimum financing threshold, MetaDAO announced the failure of this ICO, and all participant funds will be refunded.Community feedback indicates that the project's overvaluation, unclear team background, and significant changes to the financing terms were factors contributing to the failure of this ICO.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently proposed a reform plan for creator tokens, arguing that the current issue lies not in incentivizing content creation, but in filtering high-quality content. He suggested that a curatorial DAO should determine which creators are important, with tokens primarily serving as predictive tools, allowing people to bet on which creators the DAO will choose, ultimately deciding who rises or falls not by speculators, but by high-value content creators.Experts have differing opinions on this view. Oxytocin, head of the Umia ecosystem, pointed out that the plan introduces a certain degree of welfare creation through prediction markets, but still lacks an appropriate off-chain execution mechanism to ensure creators maintain consistency over the long term. Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone, believes that prediction markets not only create speculation but also facilitate informed discovery, encouraging people to seek quality rather than chase attention metrics. Superset CEO Neil Staunton remains skeptical, questioning whether DAOs can serve as arbiters of creative quality and whether creative works should be tokenized.

According to the official announcement, JustLend DAO has officially launched the WBTC market supply mining activity. The event starts on January 31, 2026, at 20:00 Singapore time and will last until February 28. Users can earn additional $TRX rewards by supplying $WBTC on the platform, in addition to the regular supply interest. Mining rewards will be calculated and distributed weekly based on the amount of WBTC supplied by users, providing participants with a valuable opportunity to enhance their asset returns. The launch of this event opens up more diversified income sources for platform users and helps build a more vibrant decentralized financial ecosystem.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform discussing the design ideas of creator coins, pointing out that the overall effectiveness of the crypto industry in the content incentive field has been limited over the past decade. The core issue is not a lack of content supply, but rather an insufficient mechanism for filtering and discovering high-quality content. In the current context where AI can generate a large amount of content at a low cost, the industry's goal should shift from "incentivizing more content" to "identifying and amplifying high-quality content."Vitalik believes that Substack is a relatively successful case of creator incentives, with the key being the platform's active selection and support of quality creators, rather than relying solely on mechanism design. He points out that existing creator coin projects generally have a structural issue of "high social influence users dominating the rankings," which does not truly reflect content quality.On the proposal level, Vitalik suggests establishing a non-tokenized creator DAO, where members vote to select creators and maintain clear content positioning and scale control to build a stable brand and commercial bargaining power. At the same time, creators should be allowed to issue personal tokens; if they join the creator DAO, the DAO's earnings can be used to buy back and destroy the creator tokens, transforming the role of speculators into "high-quality creator predictors," thereby reducing pure speculative cycles and improving the efficiency of high-quality content filtering.Vitalik stated that future effective governance mechanisms may increasingly combine prediction markets and multi-party governance structures to enhance the system's resistance to manipulation and goal consistency.

These funds were originally reserved for compensating victims in special circumstances, accounting for about 20% of the total amount, which is now valued at approximately $200 million.The fund will hold about 70,500 ETH (from the ExtraBalance withdrawal contract) and approximately 4,600 ETH worth of DAO tokens (from TheDAO Curator Multisig), and will support operations through staking rewards.
