@mic_on_studio @jup_VRFD @JupiterExchange Congrats ma G.

[Mic @mic_on_studio]

Incredibly grateful to have joined @jup_VRFD

@JupiterExchange has been a major part of my life for the past 4 years, from LFG to the DAO to Studio.

It’s great to finally be able to contribute directly in some way 🫶

The more time i spend with VRFD, the more i see just how much potential need it has as crypto begins to grow into the broader normiesphere, especially when it comes to API integrations with trading apps.

Information is so widespread across hundred and thousands of social accounts, it’s nearly impossible for anyone new to the space to actually keep up, and incredibly time consuming for even the veterans.

Being able to look at an asset and immediately have up to date news from wider industry news down the tiny tokenomics updates will be a vital part of providing traders with the best opportunities and everything they need to make informed decisions about opportunities.

I think VRFD grows a LOT from here, and is another big example of a service Jupiter provides for the general good of ecosystem growth.

ZachXBT is about to drop a bomb tomorrow!

The announcement got over 7M views in the first 24h.

Could get really bad for some people...

Which project could it be?

@WifLeverage @Uranus_Capital @JupiterExchange You should grow a pair and ape some $kirby before we migrate to $balls next week 😏

@Balls_Onchain This more like it $balls onchain

It’s time for the big one.

Next week, $KIRBY enters a new era. One that gives the community the strongest possible foundation moving forward.

After working closely with the Jupiter Studio team, we’re officially migrating the token from $KIRBY → $BALLS on 21st January.

For the next week, you need to do nothing! Simply hold your $KIRBY as normal while we finalise everything with Studio to ensure a seamless, holder-first transition.

⸻

Why are we doing this?

Over time, it’s become clear that our jokes, memes, and culture have evolved. Our ticker needed to evolve with them.

$BALLS better represents the mission, humour, and direction of the community.

The new branding is simpler, funnier, and more meme-native. Instead of the branding supporting the jokes, the joke becomes the branding.

It also gives us far more room to grow. As iconic as the puffball has been, certain ‘visuals’ simply aren’t practical for the real-world marketing of merch, posters, events, and broader exposure. $BALLS removes those limits.

We’ve also listened to long-standing feedback around IP risk. The new branding is entirely original, removing potential issues down the line and giving us full ownership of our identity.

Finally, as one of the first Jupiter Studio launches, $KIRBY inherited some of the friction that comes with a brand-new launchpad. Token discoverability issues, sub-optimal liquidity structure, and inconsistent platform labeling. This migration resolves all of that.

None of this changes our humour, our jokes, our memes. The community and the vibes remain the as strong as ever, only with branding that is strong enough to match.

⸻

Why now?

What started as a simple test of Studio has grown into something much bigger.

The creativity, commitment, and culture of this community deserves the best possible chance of long-term success.

It’s also important to recognise the backing that’s been granted to us by the Jupiter team with 20%+ of total supply acquired now for over 100,000$, alongside months of support preparing for the migration. A huge shout out to @bitcnoi especially for brainstorming with us for so long on how we can make this happen.

This kind of support is not taken lightly, and it’s our duty to ensure that their support leads to the best opportunities for the success of Studio as possible. Success for our launches are a success for Studio as a whole, and we take that responsibility seriously.

As part of this, we are committed to establishing a new liquidity pool pairing with $JUPUSD as a way to start integrating the @JupiterExchange stablecoin into the broader meme ecosystem. We will continue to grow this LP on top of the original $BALLS pool to deepen our liquidity further moving forward.

⸻

What do you need to do?

Nothing.
• No claim
• No forms
• No wallet connections

If you are providing liquidity, please remove it before 21st January.

Alongside the Studio team, we will handle everything.

Once the migration has begun, a snapshot will be taken at an undisclosed time.
If you are holding $KIRBY at that moment, you will receive $BALLS automatically via airdrop, directly from Studio.

⸻

Airdrop Details

Ratio: 0.8 BALLS : 1 KIRBY

The goal is to ensure holders maintain the same baseline $ value with a higher starting market cap, while allowing us to establish a stronger, more stable liquidity pool going forward.

The snapshot will be post-migration, just hold your $KIRBY to be included.

⸻

This Week

Expect to start seeing our branding around the account changing as we start our transition into the next stage of our journey.

We will be around as always to answer any questions that people may have around the migration so feel free to ask!

⸻

⚠️ Important Security Notice

Ignore any links, contracts, DMs, or “early migration” tools not posted from official accounts.

We will announce when the snapshot is complete

We will announce when migration is complete

We will then post the official $BALLS contract address

If it’s not from us, it’s not real.

Ready to the biggest week in $kirby history 😏

[Mic @mic_on_studio]

Let’s talk about supply control

One of the most heavily impactful parts of a meme tokens success in maintaining and holding value, supply control merely means how much supply is out of the general public circulation. But a lot of people don’t understand how different forms of supply control work. Now there are quite a few ways to do this:

Team control - essentially functions the same as burned supply as long as the team doesn’t rug.

F&F (and i mean actual friends and family not a cabal calling themselves an F&F lmao) - getting real friends to hold supply. Generally works as a slow inflation as people will slowly take profits.

Whales - Random buyers who come in and take a large amount of supply. Uncontrollable and random.

Cabals - out of the team’s control, when the cabal wants to move on they move hard.

All 4 will allow for a memecoin to push up higher in price than a token without any supply control, as limited supply just allows for higher price fluctuations and a more stable floor.

Team supply control essentially just highest the ‘base floor’ of a token. The more the team holds and keeps off the market, the higher the natural floor is. As long as the team actually just holds them, the impact is just a stronger baseline to rally around as “big number good” is inherent in people’s psychology.

F&F control generally gives a stronger start, and you know that those selling will be respectful about it on the way up. Friends understand and respect the work that the team is putting in, and will try their best to ensure they do not 1 clip. That supply will naturally enter the market in a more healthy way.

Whales are useful but also the hardest to understand for a trader. Make sure to know who the whales are, and see how they’re interacting with the team and token as a whole. Negative sentiment shifts in whales often leads to a domino effect of sales between them.

Cabal control means up the fastest of the three, down just as fast. There’s no real control from the team about when this happens, if they want to leave they will, and they leave hard. But in turn they also run the hardest, because those holding the supply are often influential and will bring in their wider communities.

It’s important to understand who controls the supply of anything you buy, so you can change your game plan around it. Some runners last longer and are more sustainable, some you get in and out as fast as you can. Get in the habit of tracking large wallets that move in unison, screeners allow for you to tag wallets so you can tell who is moving the coins you are in so you can react accordingly.

It’s important to play the game you are good at. If you are a longer term bag worker or a quick flipper, knowing what the base of the token you are getting into is will allow you to not miss longer runners, and also to time your exits appropriately in the quick runners so you aren’t left holding the bag when it dies.

My personal goal with $kirby to ensure we have the most secure options for holders, the more supply in the hands of the treasury / jupiter, the safer our motion is moving forwards and we’ve been working to build an incredibly strong base so far. This will be improving more in January.

@TheKirbyCabal @oldhawksol Show your balls @oldhawksol

[Crypto_Drift @crypto_drift12]

@sssionggg @AdrianBrz_ Tough? How ironic this prediction below got so much liquid tho 💦

[Jup Studio @jup_studio]

Balls are definetly in motion!

[Zok @lezokcrypto]

@NoSignalXYZ This ain't it chief.

$KIRBY, $SQUIG and others, deserve as much recognition as $URANUS.

They ain't "shitters", they're communities like the uranus one, and we should support each other especially when market is low, ignoring others to benefit others ain't it.

[Crypto_Drift @crypto_drift12]

@wassielawyer hopefully this materialize especially for @jup_studio. We havent seen any updates shared on channels about this.

[wassieloyer @wassielawyer]

Here's another long essay about @jup_studio with learnings from our offsite last week.

Ok no. Enough of that. Will just prioritize the substance over the fluff in a short-ish post.

Better communication was one of the main takeaways from our offsite, and I'm going to give that a go.

The Product. Studio will build towards 3 verticals - memecoin / community launches, custom launches (for brands etc) and permissioned capital formation via DTF. The launchpad product as is will be made more memecoin and trader friendly, both from UI/UX perspective and also from a fees perspective.

The Strategy. We will back world-class memes and communities like uranus and help develop playbooks to bring them to mainstream success, living beyond CT and outlasting cycles. We will back brands and projects with potential as they start out their journey, again in bespoke manners, using Jupiter's influence and distribution. We are here to stand behind communities, creators and projects that develop real momentum.

What We Do. We give momentum to what deserves it. When we amplify, we will do it with precision. We support community-led marketing initiatives that turn heads, connect them to the right people, listings, advisors, market makers, collaborations, and people of influence. Whoever can make the difference, we find them. The success of deserving projects is our priority.

The Economics. None of Studio's accrued fees will go to the team and none have been deployed to date. All the amounts we have invested into Studio and its ecosystem to date is fresh liquidity from Jupiter. Accrued fees to date (about 3.5m) will be split between the Studio ecosystem and the Litterbox Trust. Fees in the future will be recycled into the Studio ecosystem until Studio stabilizes as a leading product, following which 50% will go towards the Litterbox.

We’re not here to chase noise, fuck about and farm fees.

We're here to build the future of monies.

Thanks for staying with us as we launched v0 of Studio. v1 starts now.
