Jupiter pauses all DAO voting until 2026 to rebuild community trust and fix issues in its current governance model.
No new JUP tokens will be created in 2025 as the DAO treasury remains locked and inaccessible until 2027.
Jupiter now focuses on launching new products and increasing user adoption across its growing DeFi ecosystem.
Jupiter has paused all governance voting through the end of 2025. The platform also locked its DAO treasury until 2027. These changes follow growing dissatisfaction within the community. Voting had become a source of conflict and confusion. The team decided to halt it to prevent further disruption.

The Jupiter DAO had been a key part of the project’s early growth. However, it no longer functioned as intended. Recent votes caused division which led to reduced trust.
JUP, the platform’s native token, will lose a core use case during the pause. No new proposals will open until 2026. The DAO will not fund any new workgroups. Current workgroups will continue using previously approved budgets. No additional JUP emissions will take place in 2025.
The community reserve will remain untouched. The Litterbox Trust, Jupiter’s treasury, will also stay sealed. Revenues from jupSOL staking will still go to the treasury. These funds will not be used until governance resumes.
Focus Shifts to Product and User Growth
Jupiter will now focus on product expansion and ecosystem growth. The team plans to develop new platforms, including Jupiter Lend and jupnet. It will also continue onboarding users through Jupiter Mobile. The pause allows the team to concentrate on speed, quality, and execution.
Jupiter wants to restore community alignment by removing vote-related tension. The team will fund community growth efforts from its own operational treasury. The goal is to rebuild trust and improve governance.
During the pause, staking incentives will continue. Stakers will receive 50 million JUP per quarter. The rewards will last till the end of 2025. The team confirmed that no new JUP tokens will be minted for governance. One more major token event will occur. A total of 700 million JUP will be distributed in the final phase of the Jupuary airdrop. No further dilution is expected in 2025.
Market Performance and Future Governance Plans
Jupiter remains a leading aggregator on Solana. It handles over 80,000 swaps daily and serves 18,000 active traders. The platform has $2.2 billion in value locked. Daily fees average $1.6 million. Still, the platform has lost user momentum.
Active wallets have dropped by up to 60%. Competitors like PumpSwap now lead in meme token trading volume. Jupiter’s share of Solana DEX traffic sits at 7.8%. PumpSwap controls over 65% of meme token activity.
Governance will return in 2026. The new structure will aim to reduce conflict and improve decision-making. The team plans to engage the community in shaping this updated model.
