Ever wondered how JUP allocates sale spots to its stakers? Turns out they're using a time-weighted approach that's been tracking stakes since July.

Here's the deal: your eligibility tier isn't just about how much JUP you've staked—it's weighted by time. The longer you've held your stake, the better your positioning. Pretty straightforward mechanism if you ask me.

Interesting move though: they've intentionally overallocated the whitelist. Why? To make sure actual stakers can grab a decent allocation size. Makes sense when you think about it—prevents the situation where you qualify but can barely buy anything meaningful.

The sale structure seems designed to reward long-term believers rather than last-minute jumpers. That July tracking date matters quite a bit for anyone who staked later.
