Odaily reports: Multi-chain DEX Jumper has announced the JUMP token sale allocation plan. The sale received approximately $48.614 million in subscription commitments from 9,690 participants, exceeding the original $2 million target by 24 times, with a final accepted amount of $3 million.In the final allocation, $1.64 million, approximately 55% of the total sale, was allocated to community wallets, with weighting primarily determined by Jumper Loyalty Pass (JLP) tier and ranking, giving higher priority to long-term, deeply engaged users.The second-largest allocation category is strategic contributors, including angel investors, developers, traders, and content creators; an additional 5% was allocated to Republic participants. The waitlist category covers the top 500 participants, with rankings determined by a combination of Legion Score and referrals, with greater emphasis on Legion Score.Existing Jumper users can improve their priority through waitlist ranking, but different weightings do not stack—only the highest qualifying tier applies.
Citrini analyst Jukan reposted content on platform X stating that industry insiders say Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis previously planned to leave around the same time as another co-founder David Silver, but Google management worried this news might trigger a significant stock price drop, therefore hoping he would postpone his departure. Sources say that after Google announced relevant adjustments, the company's stock price indeed dropped, and eventually Hassabis was persuaded to transition to the DeepMind Chairman position to help the organization transition smoothly and create space to leave Google in a more appropriate way in the future. It is reported that as David Silver turns to founding Ineffable Intelligence and John Jumper joins Anthropic, DeepMind's core AI R&D strength is undergoing changes. Some insiders believe that the center truly driving AI model development at Google has now shifted more towards the US Bay Area, DeepMind's importance has declined somewhat, and Google's internal focus has shifted to the large language model Gemini to catch up with OpenAI and Anthropic. Hassabis's adjustment reflects long-standing strategic contradictions within Google: research personnel focus more on long-term scientific breakthroughs, while business teams focus more on AI products that can be commercialized quickly and drive revenue and stock price growth. The market predicts Hassabis may leave Google within a year and may start a new venture again.
