50/50 Tokenomics

The core thesis that underpins the JUP Tokenomics is the idea of 50/50, which we shared in extensive detail in this post here:

10 Years And Beyond

We expect Jupiter to be around for decades, and we believe that consistent token distributions are an incredibly powerful way to rally community, however it’s also incredibly distracting for the team and potentially poisoning the community, because we want people to use the product because they love it and not because of points.

Therefore to respect both those dynamics, we propose to do a Jupuary 31 every year without fail where a significant portion of tokens will be distributed to users, with the cutoff on Nov 2, with a solid 3 months focused on engaging the community, executing on major initiatives - and the rest of the 9 months focused exclusively on product and platform growth.

Currently, the only items on the roadmap are:

• 20% for the team (nothing for first year, start vesting feb 2025 for 2 years)

• 5% for Mercurial stakeholders (start vesting feb 2025, schedule TBD)

• 10% for Jupuary (every year)
