JPool offers additional stake to operators of Community Good validators. A validator is considered Community Good if its earnings are used to fund projects introducing new functionality that did not exist before in the Solana ecosystem and that adds significant value for the Solana community.
You can apply for the extra stake in . The applications are reviewed bi-monthly by an internal committee, on the second and fourth Friday of each month.
The Good Community score is calculated according to the table below:

* Core features are free, and it is reasonable to expect that at least 50% of users will use the service for free
** A project is assigned to one or several of the following tracks:
DEV: encouraging developers to build on Solana.
PROJECTS: encouraging projects to expand or port to Solana.
LIQUIDITY: bringing additional liquidity (investments or TVL) to Solana.
USERS: attracting new users to Solana.
*** 1 point for MAU of 1K+, 2 points for MAU of 10K+
The resulting score of 1 to 14 is multiplied by 3,000 to determine the total bonus stake, i.e. a maximum score of 14 means up to 42,000 SOL (depending on the number of validators sharing this bucket and the total SOL in the bucket).
Please note: All parameters in the table are subject to change. Bonus points may be adjusted at the discretion of the reviewing committee.
