Discussion: Burning the $JUP Tokens in the Litterbox Trust

[Carlito1]

Why not use the litterbox funds to get in on LP positions for future TGEs, as Meteora has done for their users (and JUP stakers)? This will add value to staking as well as making the JUP token desirable and extremely valuable. I’m assuming the JUPITER team has serious clout and can get in at the very start of a TGE, and giving stakers NFTs where they can withdraw the funds in USDC OR staked JUP could be a win win for everyone.

[CryptoFatCat]

I believe we should burn 100% of the litter box funds. After doing so, we should move to a revenue sharing model. Using the same % of platform fees to fund the ASR will create true community alignment through revenue sharing. This will allow us to reduce supply, as well as incentivize holders and community for the long term.

[mariusz]

Hello. In my opinion, the best thing we can do is:
1. Increase the revenue to Litterbox from 50% to 75%.
2. Burn 50% of Litterbox in real time (without further votes).
30% of Litterbox for JUP stakers.
20% of Litterbox for marketing, etc.
3. End Jupuary and ASR and allocate these funds to increasing the value of the ecosystem, e.g., purchasing Magnificent 7 Xstocks (NVDA, AMZN, etc.), investing in competitors like HYPE, or other similar promising projects like HUMA.
Thank you, and that's all from me on this topic.

You don’t burn something of value. If you want to support the price of JUP then use them to do that.

I like how the MET airdrop didn’t reward tokens to JUP stakers but rather LP positions (and though I still didn’t agree with non-usage getting rewards, it’s at least better that usage was forced as part of those rewards).

Let’s take that further and incentivise product usage by JUP stakers.

But instead of the normal defi farming games, something more creative and capable of spurring ongoing growth (not just inflated swaps volume, lending, perps usage etc… while the incentives are on which then disappears as soon as they leave).

• Create tokens on Jupiter Studio
• Collect on DRiP / Sell on DRiP (would be nice to see a healthy bonus for any DRiP artists staking JUP)

From each you could have multiple check-ins that would keep people engaged. For example:

• Vote on top 5 tokens launched in the past x amount of time. Votes determine a buy and distribute to JUP stakers from Jupiter.
• Points boost for highlighted DRiP artists for a given week.
• and so on

Something tied to M3M3 and WEN would be good too. Nothing big, but they’re kinda well off the radar despite being connected to Jupiter.Maybe something to do with LPing on Meteora (WEN) and staking (M3M3)?

Anyhow that’s, IMO, a lot of activity you could drive with this JUP as opposed to simply burning it.

All rewards here are dependant on the amount of JUP you have staked and that is a good precedent to set moving forward.

[kazar]

Burning 100% (of the revenue/fee) is a good idea.

It certainly opens up the discussion about the value capture of our favorite token.

The buyback system implemented by projects like AAVE has given visibility back to the project, revitalized their community, and strongly supported the token’s price.

It’s clear that recurring value must be transferred (to the burn/buyback mechanism) for it to be both healthy and appreciated.

Against Burning the Litterbox Trust: The Litterbox Trust is a Vault, Not a Liability

I want to strongly urge everyone to think carefully before supporting the proposal to burn the Litterbox Trust.

The fate of the Trust was always meant to be decided by the DAO in 2027. That timeline was intentional - it gives the ecosystem time to mature, for new participants to join, and for the community to prove its long-term commitment.

Now, some are arguing that the “uncertainty” around the Trust’s future is suppressing the current token price. To me, that logic misses the point entirely.
Is our conviction in Jupiter’s long-term vision so low that we want to destroy a massive future opportunity just to boost short-term price action, and/or for some tangential marketing?

Think about it this way:

There’s a community vault with a pile of gold inside. The vault is locked for two years, only with a slot on top to add more gold. The gold in the vault will be distributed to the community once the vault door is opened.
If you genuinely plan to be part of the community when it opens, why on Earth would you vote to destroy the vault and everything in it?

The only people who benefit from burning are those who plan to exit, either partially or fully, and are looking for exit liquidity.

A Better Path: Reward Long-Term Commitment

If we’re going to revisit the Litterbox Trust early, let’s do it productively, and in a way that strengthens Jupiter’s foundations rather than weakens them.

Here’s what I’d propose instead:

1. Distribute the Trust gradually to JUP stakers based on sustained commitment.

   • Measure weighted average JUP staked from one week after this vote ends until January 31, 2027.

   • Add a 2x multiplier for JUP staked continuously from the launch of staking through the start of the vote.

   • For those who have never unstaked, increase that to a 5x multiplier.

   • On January 31, 2027, distribute the Trust pro rata to these weighted averages.

This rewards the people who have been here the longest and the ones who stay through to the DAO decision date.

Supercharging ASR and Aligning Incentives

Let’s go further. Take the 700M Jupuary tokens plus the Carrots (originally meant to incentivize JUP purchases and staking).
That’s over 800M JUP total.

Use it to build stronger alignment:

• Allocate 800M JUP to supercharge ASR.

• Increase ASR to 100M JUP per quarter for the next two years (2026-2027). Assuming we will still be having votes, and which will be less frequent, but super high impact, it seems odd to eliminate ASR.

• Anything left over after this 800M allocation is added to the Litterbox Trust.

But with a twist:

• When ASR rewards are claimable, users have two options:

  1. Claim instantly → receive 50% of your share; the other 50% is recycled back into the ASR pool.

  2. Claim staked → receive 100% of your share plus your proportional share of the recycled pool and any unclaimed JUP.

This creates a self-reinforcing system: those who stay staked benefit disproportionately, while those who exit early sacrifice future upside.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if everyone claimed liquid (which is unlikely), that’s only 50M JUP per quarter entering circulation from the community side (no different than now, but with zero days instead of the reduced 7 days).

In Summary

Burning the Litterbox Trust would be a short-sighted, destructive decision that benefits only those looking to leave the community.

Instead, we should:

• Reward long-term conviction over short-term speculation.

• Strengthen staking incentives for 2026-2027.

• Align rewards with sustained commitment to Jupiter’s mission.

The Litterbox isn’t a drag, in my opinion. It is a vault of potential energy for the Jupiverse in its future state. Let’s not destroy that potential just because some can’t wait to see what’s inside the vault.

Judging from the comments so far, it seems I am vastly outnumbered. I nevertheless wanted to share my thoughts, since that is the whole point of discuss.jup.ag (FKA jupresear.ch).

[Skills2PayDaBills]

keep burning tokens so the price can increase

[Richard.eth]

We should burn 100%

[1000X]

1. stop ASR
2. burn 100% of litterbox
3. burn 50% of ongoing on-chain rev
4. watch number go up. it’s that simple.

[BricePol]

Agreed to burn and make the burning culture back.

I’m running an OG tokens called burning jup where we are burning daily jup.

Something is breathing …

[BrunoMP]

Burn! I don’t think the price will go up burning now but if the team keeps buying tokens with 50% of the revenue to burn, it can change the mentality about JUP and people can become bullish again.

[RJMG]

We burned 3B $JUP in Catstambul. Now we’re going to burn more?

Are we becoming arsonists?

[lochie2001]

Heyo

been awhile since I’ve posted here but I feel this vote is fairly important.

My past stance;

• we aren’t a fkn meme coin, memecoins burn supply
• The 30% supply burn wasn’t so effective as we thought
• Litterbox should be used to fund work groups, asr and other initiates

My new stance;

• we did trial and error with litterbox trust (which is okay)
• WG’s are done so that leaves the only real use case for this JUP is to fund ASR
• ASR can be funded with left over jupuary or carrots.
• If we use this for asr it’s not really a buy back, it’s a system where JUP is recycled to stakers who dump, then JUP buys back? That’s not good imo.
• Continual Token burn and buy back makes JUP more scarce which is kinda what we need for the current tokenomic format.

I’ll be voting yes for this, although 6 months ago I would have voted no.

[Skills2PayDaBills]

you make a good case

Burn 121M JUP. No Half-Measures.

To the Jupiter team and DAO

The proposal to burn the Litterbox Trust is the right move. Here’s why:

1. Attacks the Root Cause: JUP’s core problem is a lack of scarcity, not a lack of staking rewards… A 100% burn permanently removes 3.8% of the circulating supply, creating fundamental scarcity.
2. A full burn shows JUP is a scarce asset, not a farming token. This attracts long-term capital and re-rates the token’s entire narrative. A partial burn is a weak compromise that pleases no one.
3. Creates a Stronger Foundation: Burning it all now doesn’t prevent better staking rewards later. It ensures any future value accrual model (like real yield or fee sharing) is built on a foundation of a more valuable and scarce asset.

This is a one-time opportunity to cement JUP’s new chapter.

VOTE YES to burn 100%. No half-measures.

[DTBOSS]

I think the best thing to do would be to burn the accumulated JUP in the litterbox 100%.

Going forwards Remove ASR entirely and tie it to the litterbox from now on. At the beginning of 2026 create a 12 month plan where the litterbox revenue goes each month. Not only does having a planned out map create hype but it creates certainty in what users can expect. Make 4 months distribute monthly accumulated to stakers. 4 Months marketing product/initiatives to expand the pie. Make a gamified system, download jup mobile → get money, etc. 2 months burn and 2 months open to votes. Now you’ve created a system which allows holders to decide what happens with the litterbox 1/6th of the time, you reward us a 1/3rd of the time, you burn 1/6th time and you still have marketing promotion efforts a 1/3rd of the time.

[LT_0007]

We can vote any time in the future what to do with it, and it’s as good as burned just being held in the litterbox. Don’t believe the burn will help at all. We should stick with the original plan of accumulating funds in the litterbox for the 2 years, and determine then what is best. A better vote is should we continue to accumulate $JUP in the litterbox or should we just keep the fund in $USDC going forward (don’t sell or do anything with $JUP currently in the litterbox, but going forward just keep fund going to the litterbox in $USDC)!

[maxedoutjuicer]

if someone can give a clear vision what/how not burning the tokens can be used for “growth” for the future.. i can only vote yes to burn..
read many posts and tweets no where any real use for these tokens has even be explained with clairty other than “asr” when actual asr was ongoing people always complained about lower and lower asr for each person everymonth, now again want asr and then whole timeline to be filled with that same old cry babies?
So because of that the only thing these tokens feel like are a looming threat for the future.
burn ts. imo this litterbox should have been a daily buyback and burn mechanism since the start.

[cerberus]

As a longtime staker, I believe in burning to get the supply low. However, I also want a return on my investment. Burning 100% reduces the overall supply, but there’s no immediate effect on my current investment. That’s why a combination of burn and reward to the stakers is the best approach. Stakers believe in the project through the ups and downs of the project and should be rewarded for the commitment.

Recommendation:

75% - BURN

25% - distribute to Stakers based on average staking over the past year. Most of these people will continue to stake as commitment to the project as they have been over the past years.
