All About Jupiter

Jupiter (JUP) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Solana blockchain, acting as a liquidity aggregator. It streamlines trading by pooling liquidity from multiple sources, allowing for smoother and more efficient token swaps, perpetual futures trading, and the use of decentralized stablecoins. The native token, JUP, plays a key role in platform governance, enabling holders to vote on decisions that shape Jupiter’s development and future.

How Is Jupiter Used?

Jupiter’s native token, JUP, is used for governance within the Jupiter Aggregator — a DEX aggregator on Solana. Holding JUP gives community members the power to:

• Vote on emission plans

• Propose upgrades to the protocol

• Participate in upcoming launchpad projects

• Help decide how ecosystem grants are distributed

This decentralized governance model allows the community to directly influence the platform’s evolution.
