The Jupiter DEX platform, one of the most widely used routers on Solana, has announced the suspension of community voting until the end of 2025, citing community fatigue as the primary reason.
Reasons for Pausing Voting
Jupiter has paused voting using JUP tokens, citing community fatigue. No new proposals will be opened until the end of 2025. Voting has been one of the main community activities and use cases for the native JUP token. The Jupiter team sees this pause as an opportunity to focus on platform development.
Current Performance of Jupiter DEX
Jupiter DEX currently produces $1.6 million in daily fees, generating over $17 million in the past month. Despite some slowdown in market activity due to competition from other DEX, positive trends have been observed recently. Jupiter DEX attracts over 18,000 daily traders with up to 80,000 swaps. In the past two months, there has been an outflow of both old and returning users, losing up to 60% of active wallets. Jupiter DEX holds approximately 7.8% of Solana DEX traffic.
Plans for DAO Governance Restoration in 2026
Governance for Jupiter DAO will be restored in 2026 with a new structure. Previous votes regarding Jupuary airdrops led to significant conflicts and market panic. The platform aims to focus on development while rebuilding voting rules, anticipating a large emission event of 700 million tokens as part of the second phase of the Jupuary event. New voting rewards and incentives will be paused until the governance structure is restored.
The suspension of voting on the Jupiter DEX platform will allow the team to focus on development and improvements to services, while plans for the restoration of voting will be revisited in 2026.
