THE $PIE LORE:
Two years ago, during an interview between @Lightspeedpodhq and @weremeow , a simple question was asked:
“What are you most excited to see over the next 12 months for Jupiter, Solana, or crypto?”
@weremeow paused. Then, without hesitation, replied:
“Growing the pie.”
“Grow the pie.”
He said it once. Then again. And again.
No token name. No product reveal. Just a vision—clear, unwavering, quietly prophetic.
Before the first Jupuary lit up the sky,
There was $PIE.
It simply existed. Quietly. Silently. Waiting.
A strange, unassuming force hidden deep within the foundation of the Jupiverse.
Most never noticed it.
Even as products grew
the team expanded, and alliances formed across chains… PIE remained in the shadows.
But not @weremeow .
Meow knew.
In meetings, on calls, across tweets, and under countless layers of developments and tech,
Meow whispered the same phrase, over and over:
“Grow the PIE.”
Many thought it was just about revenue.
Just about market share.
Just another goalpost on the endless path of crypto.9
But those who listened closely… those who felt it… they understood.
$PIE wasn’t a target.
It was a force.
A Mission.
Every time Jupiter launched a new product, $PIE grew.
Every time the community shipped, supported, or memed something into existence, $PIE expanded — unseen but present.
Meows vivison of growing the $PIE was all coming together, but not everyone noticed.
$PIE was always there.
Just waiting to be noticed.
Waiting for someone to say its name out loud.
And then... someone did.
No longer a whisper. No longer hidden.
$PIE emerged—not as something new, but as something remembered.
A meme coin, yes. But more than that—a symbol of everything Jupiter has built and will continue to build.
Abundance. Growth. Expansion. Fun.
Because in the Jupiverse, we don’t divide the pie.
We don’t fight over scraps.
We Grow the PIE.
Some called it a meme.
Some thought it was just a phrase.
But the numbers tell a different story.
Look closer:
➜ Jupiter Products?
What started as a simple aggregator has evolved into a full-stack DeFi powerhouse — launches, LFG, working groups, Perps, Limit Orders, and more. Each one, a new slice of the PIE.
➜ Revenue?
Up only. Protocol earnings have skyrocketed. New income streams unlocked. A treasury that reflects the value of a growing ecosystem.
➜ IRL Events?
From New York to Indonesia to Seoul to Singapore — the Jupiverse isn’t just online. It’s global. Community-built, community-backed, and PIE-fueled.
➜ Transaction Volume?
Jupiter now consistently leads in volume on Solana, processing billions. What once was a dream is now a throughput reality.
None of this existed at the beginning.
It came as the $PIE grew.
And We’re Just Getting Started
$PIE is not just a coin.
It’s a reminder.
That we don’t fight for market share —
We create new markets.
That we don’t hoard value —
We multiply it.
That we don’t wait for the future —
We build it.
The PIE has grown — and will keep growing —
As long as we do.
I will end this in Meow's words:
"GROW THE $PIE"
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.
