Jupiter DEX, a leading aggregator on the Solana platform, concluded its vote on continuing Jupuary events. However, the expected 70% supermajority was not achieved. The founder plans to revise conditions and propose a new vote.
Voting Results
The planned vote for running two more Jupuary events resulted in only 58% in favor, with 42% not satisfied with the proposed conditions. This outcome means that Jupiter’s chief developer @weremeow will work on a new proposal to achieve the 70% supermajority. The voter turnout was the highest in Jupiter’s history; more than 364 million JUP were put into staking for the vote, and 12,000 registered users left comments and suggestions.
Community and Future Development
The community rallied around the yes vote, but not all users were convinced. The main point of contention is whether a new Jupuary should reward long-term holders or spread tokens to a wider audience. There are concerns that new recipients may sell their JUP immediately instead of participating for the long haul. The Jupiter protocol has a total of 635,520 unique addresses and aims for wider adoption. The next proposal is expected to be brought out by December 2-3.
Jupiter's Role in the Solana Ecosystem
Jupiter is a key element of the Solana ecosystem, acting as a router for optimal meme token swaps. The platform offers its own mini-products and features while maintaining the role of a DEX. It locks in $2.4 billion in liquidity on its own trading pairs and reaches all Solana DEX, including Raydium, Orca, and Meteora.
Jupiter DEX continues to be an important platform for the Solana community despite voting hurdles. A new proposal is expected to take community interests into account and allow successful development of the ecosystem.
