In a significant update for the token holders, Jupiter, the decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain, has just concluded a major community vote regarding 215 million unclaimed JUP tokens. The vote, which wrapped up on October 1, 2024, has decided to extend funding for the ASR plan (Automated Staking Rewards) for another year.
The tokens in question were initially part of the “Jupuary” airdrop earlier this year. However, due to various reasons—like unclaimed tokens or compromised wallets—215 million JUP tokens were left unallocated.
On September 27, 2024, Jupiter launched a community vote to determine the fate of these tokens. The voting options included:
- Fund ASR for 1 more year
- Burn the tokens
- Return to Community Multisig
The voting results came in with a total of 307,483,434 votes:
- 69% (211,096,893 votes) supported funding the ASR program for another year.
- 27% (82,035,682 votes) voted to burn the tokens.
- 5% (14,350,755 votes) preferred returning the tokens to the community’s multisig wallet.
With “Fund ASR for 1 more year” winning the majority, the ASR program will now continue until September 30, 2025. Additionally, 15 million JUP will be returned to the community multisig for future use.
This decision plays a crucial role in Jupiter’s roadmap and how the platform plans to reward its loyal community members over the next year. Jupiter’s ability to engage its community in key decisions is a reminder of the decentralized nature of blockchain governance.
