Looks good. I like the seperation now. Could help to move things faster and with better direction. And when you need to pivot at a moments notice this will help send us to the moon. Great Job to the whole team. Thank all of you.
I feel like I must be missing something here. How does the product drive value to the JUP token?
I could understand if there was some revenue share, token gated benefits, or fee discounts for JUP holders. But atm, I’m not aware of any benefits or utility for JUP within the current products.
I guess one could argue that there is some value flowing back via the share of revenue buying JUP for the litter box, but that is arguable since that JUP is just going to be recycled down the line.
Possibly not directly related to the current vote, but would love to know more about the plans (team and/or dao) to drive value to the JUP token.

Really would like to anchor to the wider community and as such the biggest issue I see with Solana is the littered dead projects. Most of them were granted at some point and have a connection back to the solana foundation. It would be great to leverage JUP to acquire some of these projects IP and leverage into JUP… looking at Larix / Apricot etc.
Comment on “The Next 2 Years: DAO Resolution Pt.1”
Hey Jupiverse fam —
Appreciate the vision laid out here. I want to add a few thoughts from a community-first lens:
- The DAO should act like a legislative body—think Congress. Its job is to govern, protect, and expand the JUP ecosystem through proposals and votes.
- Voting isn’t just a ritual—it’s a responsibility. It’s how we hold the team accountable and make sure things align with the community’s will.
- True decentralization = the DAO stays in control. We can’t just say “DAO-led” while handing more power to the team.
- The DAO’s role includes watchdog duties. It ensures the team can’t make unchecked decisions that dilute our values or community ownership.
- This ecosystem only works if the DAO leads, and the team follows on all matters that touch the community treasury, direction, and governance.
Right now, I’m seeing a shift—slow, subtle, but real—where the team is gaining more influence and control over JUP than ever before. I don’t think it’s evil intent. It’s just human nature: centralization is easier, faster, and more efficient… at the cost of decentralization.
We need to remember: this isn’t a company, it’s a movement. Power should flow from the DAO, not to the team.
Appreciate the work so far—let’s build something that lasts because it stays decentralized.

As a small $JUP staker, I support the Jupiter DAO proposal’s vision for progressive independence and advancing the Jupiter ecosystem. The document’s emphasis on “achieving full transparency and accountability through regular reporting” and “voting as an effective way to focus community attention” is inspiring. However, I have concerns about the DAO’s transparency mechanisms and the protection of small stakers’ legitimate rights, and I’d like to propose suggestions to further improve DAO governance.
This is nice and awesome vision for the Jupiter DAO. The progressive independence, clear roles of division , and a mission-driven approach to governance shows me a very deep understanding about the balance between decentralization and execution.
From Year 1 are nice project, especially around the importance of clarity, intentional good voting, and empowering new and all of the talent. I really admire the focus on outcomes over optics, and the recognition that true decentralization is not just structural, but also operational and cultural.
The second year plan for maturity, with milestones like treasury control, legal clarity, and independent funding mechanisms, gives the community a strong strategic direction without rushing decentralization before it’s ready and i coming with you.
I hope DAO grows into its full potential.
Let’s build.

Does anyone have a link to the Original DAO Charter and JUP tokenomics? Oddly hard to find
@Kash If there is no fee-share for 2 years, where are fees going?
While it’s true many angel/seed stage startups will include waivers of shareholder rights to inspect books, it would be unheard of to not at least include top-line financials/pro-forma in pitch-deck or board/VC quarterlies.
Any VC meeting I’ve had, you don’t get a 2nd call (if you even got a 1st call without it being in your pitch-deck) without cash-flow, budget, run-rate and runway financials; and/or top-line GAAP. It’s among the 1st 3 questions any VC will ask.
If Jupiter is operating at a deficit or cash-neutral, because it’s investing into product/growth, great. If cash-flow positive, I think we’d need to know.
I’ll have to vote no without at least high-level GAAP/pro-forma.
Also, why not just go ahead a create a real plan for all of these milestones? It should be feasible inside 3 months.

It seems to me that behind the slogans of decentralization in this proposal there is hidden strengthening of centralization. Decision-making without voting, distribution of funds among talents (I still haven’t found what it is about and naturally without voting). I pressed abstain, but in general I am against this proposal.

Thank you Jupiter team for the great work and clarity! you and the community has encouraged me to continue be active and cast my opinion.
overall, I am here to invest for the long term and see how far Jupiter could grow, so I am all in for any incentive towards expansion growth.
with the crypto industry now backed by institution and nations investing in bitcoin, I see this will continue to explode in the next few decades. So with your humongous vision in mind, it is crucial to be prepared especially if you are pursuing the independence road, as it is such a shame to see buildings half done because the builder couldn’t count the cost.
I wish you all best of luck!

For incentive aspect, if you put your jup on stake and vote on proposals you will surely get incentives for Active Staking reward program every quarter and by using Jupiter products will get you incentives every end of the year incentive program, jupnuary which 2026 may be the last year of the program.

At this point in time, it doesn’t. JUP’s one and only utility is that of governance. That could change in the future but there have been no promises made.
If the team does have any plans on this front, they are being very tight-lipped about it.
As for the DAO, that’s what the next two years will be about; finding ways to grow the community and DAO thereby bringing value to the token. But no specifics as of yet.
Keeping in mind that the team has a literal vested financial interest in the JUP token, it makes logical sense to assume that they will do whatever they can to help the DAO (and by extension the token) be successful.
Seems like you’re conflating owning the JUP token with owning an interest in the Jupiter protocol. The two are completely separate entities and the DAO has no claim over any of Jupiter’s revenue. Therefore, their financials are irrelevant.
The fees are and will likely always be going to Jupiter the protocol to pay for salaries, infrastructure, acquisitions, etc.
Jupiter will be bootstrapping the DAO for the next two years but it is incumbent upon the DAO to come up with its own source over revenue beyond that.
not clear what you mean re: monetize - in a literal sense the token aligns everyone’s incentives, so the more evangelism that happens, the better it is for everyone
def agree that the primarily value driver for Jup will come from the Jupiter team, the products, the business, etc - actually edited the draft to make that more clear before the final version based on your comment (and others who said something similar!)
its a fair point! i edited the draft before the final post to give more leeway here.
ultimately, the Litterbox Trust is intended to help grow the Jupiter ecosystem and community, which is aligned with the DAO’s goals. assuming that the DAO is mature and has the faith of the community in 2 year’s time, it could be one potential source that the DAO could leverage.
but agreed that this is something to figure out together over time!
